Bathroom Renovation vs Bathroom Remodelling
Many homeowners use the terms renovation and remodelling interchangeably, but they are different types of projects.
Bathroom Renovation
A bathroom renovation usually involves updating what already exists without changing the overall layout.
This may include:
- Replacing vanities
- New tiles
- Upgraded tapware
- New lighting
- Repainting
- Shower replacement
- Cosmetic improvements
Bathroom renovations generally keep plumbing and fixture locations in the same position.
Bathroom Remodelling
Bathroom remodelling involves redesigning or reconfiguring the space itself.
This may include:
- Moving plumbing
- Changing the layout
- Expanding the bathroom
- Removing walls
- Adding an ensuite
- Installing tiled walk-in showers
- Reconfiguring storage and functionality
- Structural modifications
Bathroom remodelling creates a completely new space designed around how you want your bathroom to function and feel.
Why Remodel Your Bathroom?
A bathroom remodel can dramatically improve:
- Daily comfort
- Functionality
- Storage
- Space efficiency
- Property value
- Energy efficiency
- Modern appearance
Many older Christchurch homes have bathrooms with outdated layouts that don’t suit modern living. Bathroom remodelling allows you to create a practical and modern space tailored to your lifestyle.

The answer to this question depends on what you're looking to do. The Building Act 2004 states that consent is not required for alterations to existing sanitary plumbing in a building, provided that:
(a). the total number of sanitary fixtures in the building is not increased by the alteration; and
(b). the alteration does not modify or affect any specified system.
If you're replacing or relocating existing bathroom fixtures then this doesn't require a consent, but if you're adding to the total number of fixtures (such as adding an ensuite), or installing a tiled wet area shower then you will need consent. While consent isn't a barrier to making these changes, it does add to the cost and needs to be factored in. Some cowboy companies will skip this step to save money, but it can come back to bite you later so we take pride in doing our work right the first time.
Whatever your bathroom plans - get in touch and our team can walk you through the options then manage the process all the way to make it a smooth and easy experience for you.
