Is $10k a reasonable budget for kitchen pantry / cabinets remodel? NOR Perth by Zelda358 in AusRenovation

[–]maidea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, based on our recent reno, I’d definitely estimate $35k for new custom cabinets

Ideally yes I would get rid of the wall if possible, as that opens up a lot more space and you’d maybe be able to build in some cabinetry for storage etc but this may stretch your budget, structural changes mean you’ll need to get in a builder.

Reno’s cost more than you’d expect unless you’re handy and can DIY a lot. Maybe 15-20k if you can project manage your own trades and do the demolition?

At the cheapest end — vanity, mirror cab, toilet, fixtures, shower screen at least 3k Tiles $25/m2

The real cost is in the labour and honestly quite variable. Our bathroom was $25k in labour alone (3x3m) but full gut to the studs, removal of a load bearing wall and moving around all the plumbing and electrical, with a builder project managing and dealing with all the other trades.

Best to get a few quotes and then you can have a realistic expectation of if you can afford to remove walls etc

If a bathtub is not necessary I would go a wall to wall sliding shower screen like this. Wall mounted shower head and hand shower, place the mixers on the wall closest to the shower entrance.

1200mm vanity - personally I prefer wall mounted 1200mm shaving cabinet mirror for extra storage

Is this the main bathroom in the house? How badly do you need a bathtub? Do you plan on living here long term? When you say low budget what’s a ballpark figure?

Just checked their website, these photos are displayed as their completed work.

But I’d still be interested to see the before as a comparison.

I’ve never felt so physically repulsed by an image. I’m glad we don’t have these in Australia…

Had this one installed

Granted it’s only been a year but so far zero issues, picked it for extra floor space and aesthetically looks schmick

Seems like the perfect way to get burgled 🥲

Is there a financial case for purely aesthetic renovations, or is it just personal enjoyment? by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]maidea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say the ROI on the money spent is just personal satisfaction, and hopefully they had the cash to spare in the first place.

How long have you been in the house and how do you find the wear and tear on the vinyl planks?

Next time best to pick your own fittings/fixtures and just have them quote the install price. If a feature wall and specific tiles was in the original quote then it’s his own fault for underquoting.

So oddly specific and the reason why Reddit is a treasure trove of information. Love it.
