Why Homeowners Choose RAW for Bathroom Renovations
Director-led builds. You deal with Rod or Will directly, not a project manager
Fixed budget and timeline agreed before construction starts
Bathroom delivered as part of substantial renovations, extensions and knockdown rebuilds
A limited number of projects at a time, so quality never gets stretched thin
A bathroom renovation with RAW is a considered building project, not a cosmetic refresh. We handle structural changes, custom joinery, waterproofing, tiling and premium fittings, usually as part of an extension or whole-home renovation.
Our custom bathroom renovations typically involve:
Main bathroom and ensuite renovations delivered as part of larger projects
New bathrooms and ensuites created through ground-floor or second-storey extensions
Full internal reconfigurations with layout changes, relocated plumbing and updated joinery
Custom vanities, feature tiling, freestanding baths and walk-in showers
Underfloor heating, skylights and premium tapware built in
Every bathroom is designed for the space and the people who use it. Nothing gets pulled from a catalogue.
Bathrooms as Part of Whole-Home Renovations
Most of our bathroom work forms part of a larger renovation or extension. That's where director-led coordination genuinely earns its keep.
A straight bathroom refit is usually a 3 to 5 week job. A bathroom renovation involving wall changes, relocated plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, custom joinery and premium fittings is a 6 to 10 week job inside a longer build.
The complexity isn't the bathroom itself. It's getting plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, joinery and fittings to come together as one finished space, on schedule, without any trade waiting on another.
Standalone Bathroom or Part of a Larger Project?
Most people who enquire about a bathroom renovation are planning more than a refit. Often it's part of a wider renovation, an ensuite being added, or a layout being reconfigured. It helps to know the difference before you get in touch.
A standalone bathroom refit replaces fixtures, tiling and tapware within the existing layout. A bathroom renovation as part of a larger project changes the layout itself. That means walls, plumbing, waterproofing and often the way the bathroom connects to the rest of the home.
RAW takes on both, but our work is best suited to the second. If your bathroom is part of a wider renovation, extension or whole-home transformation, we're the right builder. If it's a straight fit-out within existing walls, we'll be honest at consultation about whether we're the right fit.
Structural Changes & Layout Reconfigurations
Reconfiguring a bathroom is more involved than it looks. Moving a wall, relocating a shower or adding an ensuite usually involves structural engineering, rerouted plumbing stacks, a new waterproofing system and a building permit.
We manage all of it. Plumbers, electricians, waterproofers, tilers, cabinet makers and glaziers are coordinated as one project, not separate contracts you have to chase.
Structural and layout work we regularly handle as part of a bathroom renovation:
Removing or moving walls to reconfigure main bathroom and ensuite layouts
Second-storey or rear additions that create a new bathroom or ensuite
Relocating plumbing stacks, wet areas and drainage
Skylights and highlight windows for natural light and ventilation
Full waterproofing systems installed to current Australian Standards (AS 3740)
Custom Joinery & Finishes
Finish is the character of a bathroom. We work with premium local joinery makers, tile and stone suppliers and plumbing specialists. Each bathroom is built around the home and the people who use it.
You'll be guided through tile and stone selection, custom vanity design, tapware and fittings, lighting and the full waterproofing system. If a freestanding bath, double shower, feature tile wall or underfloor heating belongs in your bathroom, we build it in.
Recent RAW bathrooms have included a full transformation of a 1970s bathroom at Silverleaves, with underfloor heating and designer collaboration. Our Tynong North farmhouse included multiple bathrooms and ensuites with salvaged timber vanities and cathedral ceilings. Every bathroom is built to last and to use.

Why RAW Building Group
RAW is director-led. Rod and Will run every project in person, so decisions happen quickly and nothing gets lost between a salesperson and a site manager.
We deliberately limit the number of projects we take on. That means your bathroom renovation gets proper focus. The waterproofing gets checked, the tiling gets watched, and the finishes get inspected before handover.
No hard sell. No dramatic promises. Just quality building, delivered honestly.
Bathroom Renovation Cost
Cost depends on your project scope. A premium bathroom with structural changes, custom joinery and quality finishes typically sits between $45,000 and $90,000. Bathrooms done as part of a larger extension or whole-home renovation typically cost between $35,000 and $75,000 each, with cost efficiencies when multiple bathrooms are built in one project.
We provide a detailed cost breakdown during design, and a fixed price before construction starts. No hidden extras.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
