How Much Does Bathroom Renovation Cost in Malaysia?

Bathroom renovation is one of the most impactful home improvements you can make. But how much should you budget? Here's our transparent breakdown based on over 2,500 bathroom renovations across Malaysia.

Budget Renovation: RM5,000 – RM8,000

Perfect for bathrooms that need a refresh without a complete overhaul. This typically includes:

Tile replacement (floor and walls) using standard ceramic tiles

Basic fixtures — new toilet bowl, basin, and mixer taps

Waterproofing — basic membrane application

Minor plumbing — replacing visible pipes and connections

Timeline: 5-7 working days

This is ideal for rental properties, secondary bathrooms, or homeowners who want a clean, functional upgrade without premium finishes.

Mid-Range Renovation: RM8,000 – RM15,000

Our most popular package. This gives you a noticeably modern bathroom with quality materials:

Premium porcelain tiles with design patterns

Quality fixtures — branded toilet, pedestal or wall-hung basin

Shower screen — semi-frameless tempered glass
