How long does a bathroom renovation take?

A full mid-range renovation typically takes 2-3 weeks. Strip-out: 1-2 days. Plumbing first fix: 1-2 days. Electrical: 1 day. Tiling: 3-5 days. Plumbing second fix: 1 day. Snagging: 1 day. Add buffer for drying times between trades.

Can I use the bathroom during the renovation?

Generally no, especially once the toilet is removed. If you have a second bathroom or en suite, that makes life much easier. Discuss access and phasing with your contractor before starting.

Should I buy my own tiles and sanitaryware?

You can, and it gives you more control over specification and budget. But discuss with your contractor first, some prefer to supply materials because they get trade discounts and can manage quality. Either way, have everything on site before work begins.
