Why a builder

A builder-run renovation, not a patch-up

A bathroom is the most unforgiving room in the house to renovate. It's where waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tiling and joinery all meet in a few square metres — and where cut corners show up as leaks, mould and failed tiles two years later. That's why Axena bathrooms are run by a licensed builder, not a handyman or a single trade juggling mates.

We strip the room to the frame, fix what's hiding behind the old sheeting, and rebuild it in the right order: carpentry, rough-in plumbing and electrical, sheeting, certified waterproofing, screeding, tiling, fit-off, glass and final detail. You receive the waterproofing certificate and plumbing and electrical compliance certificates at handover — the paperwork that protects you at insurance and resale time.

Axena Projects Pty Ltd holds QBCC Open Builder Licence 15558211. We can assess layout changes such as moving walls, enlarging windows or relocating a bathroom, including any structural work and approvals needed for the proposed scope.

Choosing a builder

How to choose the best bathroom builder for your Brisbane home

When comparing bathroom renovation specialists, look beyond the finished photograph. Ask how the builder will plan your room, coordinate the work and explain what is included before you commit.

Compare real projects and client feedback. Look for before-and-after photographs and reviews describing the communication and build process. Explore our Regents Park bathroom transformation and Wellington Point bathrooms to see different room layouts and finishes.

Compare the same scope. Check demolition, plumbing changes, waterproofing, tiling, fixtures and allowances across each quote. Our Brisbane bathroom renovation cost guide explains the choices that affect the price.

Ask who is accountable. Confirm the builder's licence, who coordinates the trades, what certificates you will receive and how changes are documented. Discuss your layout, storage and lighting needs as well as the look you want.

How it works

How your bathroom comes together

  1. 01

    Site visit & scope

    We walk the room with you, measure, and talk honestly about what's worth doing — and what isn't. You get a detailed, fixed-price quote with allowances for tiles and fixtures spelled out line by line.

  2. 02

    Selections

    Resolve tiles, tapware, vanity, screens and lighting before construction. Your quote identifies supply allowances; later selection or scope changes are priced and agreed in writing.

  3. 03

    The build

    Typically 3–4 weeks on site. Demolition, carpentry, plumbing and electrical rough-in, waterproofing with certification, tiling, fit-off and glass — sequenced by us, done once, done right.

  4. 04

    Handover

    A detailed walkthrough, compliance certificates in your hand, and a clean site. We stay available through the defects liability period — and answer the phone after it, too.

One team handles your enquiry and your renovation scope. Read about Josh and Axena's approach to coordinating the work and documenting decisions.

Cost

What does a bathroom renovation cost in Brisbane?

Fixtures stay in place

$29,000 to $32,000

The shower, vanity and toilet stay in their existing positions.

Fixtures move

Around $35,000

The plumbing relocates with the shower, vanity or toilet.

Most complete bathroom renovations we build across Brisbane land between $29,000 and $35,000. Keeping the shower, vanity and toilet in their existing positions sits at the lower end. Moving fixtures, so the plumbing relocates, runs to around $35,000. You get a fixed price after a site visit, with allowances itemised so you control where the money goes. See the full cost breakdown.

Those numbers are indicative only — every Axena bathroom is quoted as a fixed price after a site visit, with supply allowances itemised so you can see exactly where the money goes and adjust selections to suit the budget.

At handover

Your certificates, in one pack.

When your bathroom is finished you receive the waterproofing, plumbing and electrical compliance certificates, plus care guides for your new products, together in one pack.

Planning

Small bathrooms and ensuites

For a small bathroom, start with the room dimensions, door swing, shower access and storage needs. Compare keeping the toilet, shower and vanity in place with moving them; a smaller floor area does not remove the plumbing, waterproofing or trade coordination from the job.

As an indicative guide, a bathroom with fixtures staying in position is $29,000 to $32,000, with relocated plumbing around $35,000. The agreed scope and selections determine the quote. See bathroom pricing and scope.

Keep the layout, combine rooms or create a new bathroom?

Keep fixtures in place

Check room dimensions, door swing, shower access, storage and the condition of the existing room. Keeping the layout still requires the full renovation scope to be assessed.

Combine two rooms

Combining a bathroom and separate toilet means checking the dividing wall, services, fixture positions and any approvals required for the proposed layout.

Create a new wet area

Assess whether the space is suitable, including plumbing, waterproofing, ventilation and any structural work. Feasibility needs checking before a layout is agreed.

Compare these choices before finalising finishes. Explore our completed Wellington Point bathrooms and how allowances and scope affect the quote.

Questions

Common questions

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Most Axena bathrooms take 3–4 weeks on site once materials are in hand. We'll give you a construction timeframe with your quote — and we sequence trades ourselves, with trade availability considered in the schedule. Lead times on made-to-order items like shower screens and vanities sit outside that window, which is why selections are locked in before we start.

Do I get a waterproofing certificate?

Yes — always. Waterproofing is installed by a licensed applicator and certified, and you receive the certificate along with plumbing and electrical compliance certificates at handover. In Queensland this paperwork matters for insurance and resale, and no reputable builder should hand over a bathroom without it.

Can you move the toilet, shower or walls?

Yes. Because Axena holds a QBCC open builder licence we can reconfigure the whole room — move fixtures, remove or build walls, enlarge windows, or combine a bathroom and separate toilet into one larger space. Plumbing relocations add cost, and we'll tell you upfront whether the result justifies it.

Is the quote really fixed?

After a site visit, the quote fixes the price for the agreed scope and identifies supply allowances. Selection or scope changes, including any installation changes, are priced and agreed in writing under the contract. Hidden conditions are documented before additional work is agreed.

Can we stay in the house during the renovation?

Almost everyone does. We contain dust, protect floors along the access route, and keep a second toilet or temporary arrangement usable wherever possible. If it's your only bathroom, we'll plan the sequence to keep downtime to a minimum and give you honest dates.

Do you handle all the trades?

Yes — demolition, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling, glass and joinery are all coordinated by us under the one licence and the one fixed price. You never have to chase a tradie yourself.

What should I avoid when renovating a bathroom?

Avoid choosing finishes before the layout, services and waterproofing details are resolved. Check that the agreed scope covers demolition, hidden-damage allowances, certified waterproofing, licensed plumbing and electrical work, ventilation, selections and written variations. A clear scope and compliance certificates matter more than the cheapest headline price.
