What does a bathroom renovation cost in Bayside?
If you are renovating in Brighton, Hampton or Sandringham, the right budget depends on scope, specification and the condition of the existing room.
In Bayside suburbs, bathroom renovation costs are often shaped by more than the visible finishes. Many homes in Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham are established properties, which means older plumbing, dated waterproofing, out of square walls and timber subfloors can all affect the final investment.
As a general guide, our full bathroom renovations and new bathroom installations usually start from around $28,000 ex GST, while ensuite renovations usually start from around $27,000 ex GST. That is for a quality supply and install service, not a stripped back figure that leaves out important work.
If you are still weighing up options, it helps to compare this page with our broader guide on how much a bathroom renovation costs in Melbourne in 2026. It gives useful context, but this page focuses on the pricing realities we commonly see in Bayside homes.
What affects your bathroom renovation cost?
The biggest price drivers are layout changes, tile choice, waterproofing complexity, custom joinery and fixture level. In older Bayside homes, hidden works can also be significant. Once demolition starts, we sometimes find deteriorated wall linings, uneven floors, non-compliant plumbing or shower leaks that need proper rectification.
That is why a realistic budget matters. A figure that looks cheap at first can quickly change if it excludes essential items. Our approach is to scope carefully and explain what is and is not included, whether you are planning a full bathroom renovation, a compact ensuite renovation or targeted shower repairs and waterproofing.

Why Bayside renovation costs can differ from suburb to suburb
Local property style, access and finish level all play a part
Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham all sit within the same broad market, but the homes can be quite different. In Brighton, we often see larger homes with higher end fixtures, bespoke joinery and more design detail. In Hampton and Sandringham, there is a mix of renovated family homes and older properties that may need hidden rectification before the new bathroom can even begin.
Access also matters. Tight side passages, limited storage space for materials and the need to protect finished areas of the home can all affect labour and logistics. If you are planning a more premium result, our design service, boutique bathroom showroom and complete bathroom renovation service can help you align style choices with a realistic budget from the start.

Rated 5.0 out of 5I couldn't be happier with the whole process and the end product! I asked Jamie for for an efficient, functional, safe and cost effective ensuite bathroom renovation. As well as the renovation aspect we had specific needs in terms of safety. Consideration was given to layout and placement of grab rails. Tommy and Joe, as well being highly skilled trades people, consulted us through every step to ensure the work was meeting our needs. They were also considerate and delightful people to have working in our home. Jamie and team were reliable in terms of time frames, arriving when they said they would and completing the job within the quoted time frame. The end result - an aesthetically pleasing, functional, safe, ensuite bathroom!

Rated 5.0 out of 5We have just finished a bathroom renovation with Victorian Bathrooms. It really is my dream bathroom. A big thank you to Jamie who did the design and helped so much with the process. Tommy and Joe were such hardworkers, very professional, considerate and consultative. Couldn't have asked for more. The fitout of the amenities and the tiling are top notch. The bathroom looks amazing. A very big thank you to everyone that made it happen. Highly recommend this company.

Rated 5.0 out of 5Jamie and the team from VBC recently completed two bathrooms and a kitchen renovation for our home and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Planning directly with Jamie from the outset helped clarify what would practically work in our home. The showroom was helpful to compare options for the bathroom and working with Luke the cabinetmaker for the kitchen bought our overall design together. Alex then did an excellent job capturing all the fixture and fitting details so the job could get started. Jamie communicated progress and updates and was very responsive for any questions. The team were very efficient and we were impressed with how versatile Tommy was. Any trade that Jamie coordinated from electrician to painter were all professional and thorough. Our 1930’s house presented some challenges of old windows and doors which they managed. Any unforeseen or additional scope work was minimal but well communicated and reasonably costed. The site was kept very clean throughout and the whole job was managed very professionally. We would not hesitate to recommend Jamie and the team at VBC.

Rated 5.0 out of 5Huge thanks to Jamie and the team at Victorian Bathroom Company! We needed a shower repair and were previously told by another company that we’d need a full (and expensive) renovation. Jamie was honest from the start, pinpointing the actual problem and fixing it professionally. The quality of work is excellent and the pricing was fair for the top-notch result we got. Don't get tricked by the 'full reno' scammers—call VBC instead!
