How does the bathroom renovation cost calculator work?
Pick the size and the finish. The calculator starts from What's The Damage's published bathroom prices for Brisbane (October 2026). Its Gold Coast page runs about 2% lower. Then it adjusts for size: about 20% less for an ensuite or small bathroom, and 25% more for a large one. The size step is our own guide, not the source's.
It is the same sum as the price check on every page of this site, so the two always agree.

| Mid-range | $20,000 to $35,000 |
| High end | $35,000 to $55,000 |
