Restructuring costs:

If you want to reorganise your current area, you might require the aid of a carpenter, a structure expert, or even a professional asbestos and/or lead removalist.

Cost of hiring trusted tradies: 

If your project entails adding a basin, re-tiling the floor, or installing cabinetry, you’ll need the assistance of a few experienced tradies.

• The cost of a plumber varies from $100 to $150 per hour, depending on where you reside and the plumber’s experience. You should expect to pay between $80 and $250 to replace and instal basin taps. A basin or sink will cost between $160 and $550 to instal.
• Carpenters charge anything from $40 to $80 per hour. Their fees will vary based on the type of work they are doing.
• Painters charge anything from $12 and $30 per square metre.
• A tiler’s fee ranges from $46 to $150 per square metre, depending on the type of material used. Vinyl tiles are easier to instal and hence less expensive, whereas ceramic or quarry tiles are more difficult and thus more expensive.

Purchasing Appliances

Investing in new, high-energy-star appliances is generally a smart option if budget allows. Higher-quality machines are not only less expensive to operate, but they also perform better, look nicer, and come with a warranty.

• Washer — Prices range from $300 to $1,500, depending on quality, brand, and energy star rating.
• Dryer — Prices range from $500 to $2,000, depending on quality, brand, and energy star rating.
• Washer/Dryer Combo — If you have a restricted budget and space, a washer/dryer combo is ideal. Typically, these cost between $500 and $2,000.
• If you have a dryer, an exhaust fan may be a good purchase because it minimises moisture. This will cost anywhere from $30 to $150.

Purchase costs: 

When upgrading a laundry room, you’ll want to make sure it’s as functional as possible. Include cabinetry, a folding and ironing station, and a sink to create a place that’s ideal for keeping all of your cleaning products.

• Cabinetry costs vary depending on whether you require custom cabinets or not, as well as the sort of material you choose. This might range from $300 to $2,000 in price.
• Benchtop – The price of a benchtop for your laundry room varies depending on its size and material. A laminate workbench can cost anywhere from $120 to $350 per square metre, whereas a real stone benchtop can cost anywhere from $800 to $2,200.
• Flooring — For a laundry room, many people choose tile or vinyl flooring. Floor tiles normally cost between $35 and $50 per square metre, or roughly $50-$100 per square metre for high-quality natural stone tiles, depending on the supplier and the degree of finish.
• Basin – The price of a basin is determined by its quality and design. A custom stone, ceramic, or marble basin can cost thousands of dollars, whereas a conventional sink might cost anywhere from $100 to $500. You can also purchase a laundry trough set that includes both the tub and the cabinet for $250 to $1,100.
• Tapware can cost anywhere from $50 to $500 depending on the material, brand, and other factors. Your budget and design preferences will determine how much you spend on tapware.
