High-set Queenslander home in Cairns ready for a bathroom renovation

Built for the Tropics

North Queensland bathrooms work harder than bathrooms down south. Here's what we design around:

  • Humidity & mould: exhaust fans sized and ducted outside, mould-resistant grout and sealants, and finishes that dry fast.
  • Ventilation: louvres, windows and airflow planned in from day one — not as an afterthought.
  • Queenslanders & high-set homes: timber floors, set-downs and stair access need a builder who knows them.
  • The wet season: waterproofing to AS 3740 with proper curing time, and scheduling that works around the weather.

Got questions? Our bathroom renovation FAQs cover tropical tiles, grout and timing.

Bathroom renovation FAQs

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Cairns?

Our bathroom renovations start from $25,000. Most Cairns bathrooms land between $25,000 and $50,000 depending on size, layout and finishes, with luxury renovations above $50,000. We give a fixed written quote after a free in-home consultation. See our full bathroom renovation cost guide for Cairns for a detailed breakdown.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Usually 3–5 weeks on site for a standard bathroom once work starts, plus time beforehand for design, product selection and ordering materials. Layout changes or unexpected damage behind walls can add time.

What's involved in a bathroom renovation?

We follow a clear step-by-step process: consultation, quote and contract, design and product selection, demolition, carpentry, plumbing and electrical rough-in, wall and ceiling sheeting, waterproofing, tiling, joinery, fit-off, shower screen installation and a final clean before handover.

Do you manage all the trades?

Yes — one licensed builder coordinates plumbers, electricians, waterproofers, tilers, carpenters and glaziers, so you have one point of contact from start to finish.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Bourjon Contracting Group is licensed in VIC & QLD (QBCC 15188942). Residential work over $3,300 in Queensland is covered by the QBCC Home Warranty Scheme and requires a written contract.

When is the best time to renovate a bathroom in Cairns?

The dry season (roughly May to October) is ideal: lower humidity helps waterproofing membranes, grout and sealants cure properly, and there's less weather disruption. Book design and quotes in the wet season so you're ready to start when it dries out — good trades book out early.

Why should I renovate my bathroom?

Fix leaks and hidden water damage, beat mould with proper ventilation, improve safety and accessibility, add value before selling or renting, and get a space that suits how your family lives.

How do you prevent mould in a tropical bathroom?

A correctly sized exhaust fan ducted outside, good natural ventilation, mould-resistant grout and sealants, waterproofing to AS 3740, and finishes that dry quickly.

Can I use my bathroom during the renovation?

Usually not — it's stripped back to the frame. If it's your only bathroom, we'll talk through options and keep the timeline as tight as possible.

Do I need a deposit?

Under Queensland law the maximum deposit for domestic building work is 10% for contracts under $20,000 and 5% for contracts of $20,000 or more. Payments are then made in stages as work is completed.
