In considering a comprehensive mid-grade bathroom renovation, it's advisable to anticipate an investment ranging from $18,000 to $35,000 plus GST. This overall figure covers associated labor and materials. If aiming for a more upscale bathroom transformation, the budget shifts to over $35,000 exclusive of GST. It's worth noting that these estimations revolve around the typical bathroom dimensions, which span around 40-50 square feet. However, it's important to recognize that these figures serve as broad benchmarks, as each project boasts distinct elements that influence the ultimate budgetary requirements.
