— Room size. Bigger rooms mean more tiling, waterproofing and flooring — the biggest material cost.

— Moving plumbing. Relocating the toilet, shower or basin adds plumber time and can trigger extra waterproofing.

— Tile choice & tiling area. Tiles range from ~$25/m² to $120+/m², and floor-to-ceiling tiling roughly doubles the tiled area.

— Fittings quality. A budget vanity + tapware package versus premium brands can swing the total by several thousand dollars.

— Condition & surprises. Water damage, old wiring or asbestos found once walls open up can add unplanned cost.

— Keeping the existing layout is the single easiest way to control the budget.

— Get the waterproofing certified — it protects you and is required for warranty.

— Set aside a 10–15% contingency for surprises hidden behind old walls.
