Bathroom Renovation – Add Value vs Overcapitalising

February 1, 20180

A renovated bathroom will always add value to your property. Bathrooms and Kitchens are the two rooms in a house that people always look at when they buy a home. Hence, it comes as no surprise that most people have these two rooms as their top priority when renovating their homes.

Most home buyers do not want to put in too much work when they buy a house. They mostly want to buy a structurally good house with a good layout and up to date fixtures. A house which is too old with dated fixtures will not look appealing to a new buyer.

So we can conclude that bathroom renovations do indeed add value to a home. There is however a risk which comes with bathroom renovations. The problem occurs when people spend too much money on renovating a bathroom because they feel that the return on investment will be huge. This however is not true.

A buyer is not looking for an extravagant bathroom with the the best design. They are in fact looking for a bathroom which has good plumbing, up to date fixtures and a bathroom that complements the house. Our renovation experts have put together a few things to keep in mind when renovating so you get the best return on investment by adding value rather than over spending. Ask yourself the following questions:

When are you planning to sell the house?

This is a very good question to ask as it will determine what exactly you should be renovating in your bathroom.

If you are planning on selling your house sometime in the future then make sure that you are not renovating your bathroom based on a current trend. A ‘current trend’ could go out of fashion and hence make your bathroom feel dated in the future. Keep the renovation simple by using good quality products, having a good plumbing system, a good layout, and trend neutral fixtures.

If you are planning on selling the house sometime soon then make sure your bathroom renovation plan is in sync with the rest of the house when the sale occurs. If your house is old and in need of some refurbishment then there is no point just renovating the bathroom. The renovated bathroom will not add value to such a property. The better thing to do would be to spread out your budget and refurbish all the important things around the house rather than spending all your money on your bathroom.

Does the style of your bathroom match the the rest of the house?

Your bathroom does not have to exactly match the rest of your house in terms of style. Most people have bathrooms that are versatile when it comes to style.

They more or less have the same feel as the rest of the house. The problem occurs when a bathroom is polar opposite from the rest of the house. An example would be an ultra modern sleek bathroom in a contemporary or a country styled home.

The type of tile you use in your bathroom depends largely on the size of your bathroom

Have you budgeted the renovation properly?

Once you have an idea as to your renovation needs, make a budget that is realistic and accommodates the important things on your renovation plan.

Work out whether you want to make structural changes, change all the floors or carry out small and minor renovations. Once you have done that then make sure you consult and get quotes from different companies in order to compare them. Do not settle for the first company that you see. Be clear about your budget and stay within it.

I have recently finished a renovation in our 1930’s bungalow, updating the original (and I do mean original) kitchen and bathroom. Plus creating a new laundry and removing three fireplaces which created two new spaces including an office. From the initial appointment with Alison who came over and then provided drawings and a quotation, to the work with Frank, our project manager and the team, this has been a wonderful renovation experience. I would have described myself as a nervous-renovator prior to doing this, as I had never done a renovation before, but Frank, Alison, Sunny and all the team have worked so tirelessly and generously to create spaces that we love. Superior’s care in managing the project has meant that we have come away with much more than we originally sought to achieve and without the stress I hear others lament about when they renovate. I would recommend Frank, Alison, Sunny and the team at Superior Renovations wholeheartedly.

We engaged with three companies to completely renovate our downstairs and ensuite bathrooms. We elected to go with Superior Renovations as they provided us with a fixed price and specific timeline to complete the project (which two other companies could not do), and we were absolutely delighted with the end result. We love everything from the floor and wall tiles to the heated towel rails and from the LCD mirrors to the underfloor heating and soft close lids. We especially loved replacing the old tub in our ensuite with a walk-in shower.The entire process went incredibly smoothly, with the project being completed on budget and ahead of schedule. From the initial design phase to the final touches, nothing was too much trouble for the team. Superior Renovations conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism, ensuring every detail was perfect.Frank (Project Manager) and the team did such an amazing job. Totally professional outfit, top notch communication, all tradies were courteous, polite and respectful. Alex (Builder) was especially knowledgeable and offered great solutions as minor issues unfolded. Each stage of the renovation was completed on the day it was scheduled. The crew were always on time and mindful of our work from home arrangements. And I was also impressed with the floor protection that was laid out on the first day.Through no fault of Superior, we did encounter a major, unforeseen setback that delayed our renovation on the downstairs bathroom. Superior were patient with us while we sourced specialists to remedy the issue. But once that was all sorted, Frank and the team picked up the baton and charged ahead to the finish line, delivering two beautifully ‘superior’ bathrooms. We also experienced a minor electrical issue post-build. And even though it was unrelated to their renovation work, Frank promptly dispatched an electrician who quickly fixed the problem. Talk about above and beyond!In summary, we highly recommend Superior Renovations for anyone looking to undertake bathroom renovations in their home. We’re already talking about renovating the kitchen next and we’re so confident in Superior Renovations that we will most certainly be engaging with them to complete the task.A huge thank you to Frank, Alex and all the wonderful team at Superior Renovations:)

Superior Renovations transformed our bathroom, and we couldn’t be happier. Cici, Jacob, Alex, and Ray were a fantastic team (Ray, our dog, is going to miss you). They tackled our old house’s quirks with creativity and attention to detail. We were especially impressed that they stayed within budget, even with a few surprises along the way. We’d definitely choose Superior Renovations again and highly recommend them.

We had the best experience using Superior Renovations. They had a good range of products available making it easy to pick the fixtures and fittings. The team were experienced and had great pride in their work, from the office to onsite we were treated like valued customers. The product we ended up with exceeded our expectations.

We have just recently completed a renovation project with Superior Renovations, complete demo and redo of x2 bathrooms, laundry, extension to existing deck, custom cabinets built & new wardrobe system installed.
We have been completely OVERWHELMED and IMPRESSED by the professionalism of the whole team from start to finish. From the initial consultation, visiting the showroom, design team, admin correspondence, project manager and sub-contractors.
We couldn’t be any happier with the final product.
The whole process was extremely well streamlined, we were given timeframes well in advance and informed of any changes.
The whole process was surprisingly stress free and we felt like a valued customer throughout.
THANK YOU 🙏🏽

We engaged Superior Renovations to transform our 30-year old, tired looking and problematic bathroom into something world class - and wow! The end result is simply stunning. The team led by Frank did an absolutely fantastic job. This was our first major renovation project and the entire process was easy and hassle free. The team delivered on schedule, within budget and the quality of their work is outstanding. If you are considering renovating - do not go past these guys.

My wife and I are absolutely delighted with the team at Superior Renovations - and the "superior" job and experience they delivered for us in renovating our ensuite and main bathroom. We are so pleased we chose them for our renovation.Everyone from Cici the designer, and Frank our wonderful and attentive project manager, down to the team of guys doing the heavy lifting were a real pleasure to deal with. We were kept informed every step of the way and everything was done to a very high standard. Nothing seems too much trouble for your crew (in fact Frank even became quite good at running after and catching our dog when the naughty little boy escaped), and they even helped me out with a couple of small extras around the house at no additional cost.Their pricing was very fair - no hidden extras, and they are such hard workers! But I think what impressed me most was that everything they promised was done exactly on the day they said it would be done, and at the time they said it would be done. They were a very respectful, friendly team who obviously take immense pride in their work.Thank you Superior team! Recommend 100%
