💰 Laundry Renovation Cost – What to Expect
When planning a laundry renovation, costs can vary widely based on your goals, finishes and whether you keep the existing layout or make major changes. In Australia, typical price ranges for different renovation levels are:
🧺 Typical Cost Categories (AUD)
Basic refresh: $4,000 – $8,000
A simple update with new paint, basic cabinetry and minor fixture changes.Mid‑range renovation: $10,000 – $18,000
Includes new cabinets, tiling, benchtops and better fixtures.Custom / high‑end renovation: $18,000 – $30,000+
Premium joinery, stone benchtops, integrated appliances and designer finishes.Combined laundry + bathroom renovation: $20,000 – $40,000+
If you reconfigure plumbing or enlarge the space, costs increase further.
📍 Melbourne & Victoria Price Guide
In Melbourne and wider Victoria, renovation prices tend to align with the national figures but may trend slightly higher depending on material quality and trade availability:
Small laundry renovation: $5,000 – $10,000
Medium renovation: $10,000 – $18,000
Complete overhaul: $15,000 – $30,000
Custom cabinetry is often priced per linear metre (e.g., $800 – $1,500 per m). Plumbing relocation, electrical upgrades, flooring and tiling also add to the total cost.
Another local estimate suggests total laundry renovations in Melbourne can range approximately $5,000 – $25,000 depending on scope and quality of finishes
🛠 What Affects Your Final Budget
Several factors influence how much you’ll actually spend:
1. Layout changes
Moving plumbing, relocating doors or resizing the room will increase labour costs.
2. Joinery & finishes
Custom cabinetry and stone benchtops are significantly more expensive than flat‑pack solutions.
3. Tiling & waterproofing
Floor and wall tiling, plus waterproofing around sinks and splashes, add material and labour costs.
4. Appliances
New washers, dryers or washer/dryer combos typically range from ~$300 to $2,000+ each, depending on features and energy ratings.
5. Trades & compliance
Electrical and plumbing work must be done by licensed professionals, which adds to the labour bill.
🧠 Tips to Manage Cost
Keep existing layout where possible — it saves on plumbing/electrical relocation.
Mix budget and premium finishes smartly — e.g., laminate cabinetry with a feature benchtop.
Get multiple quotes from licensed tradies to compare trades and materials.
DIY small tasks like painting or hardware installs if you’re confident — but leave licensed work to professionals.
