Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry Re: Bathroom redesign 2Aug 26, 2020 9:28 pm NewRenoNovice Hi, We are planning to renovate our current bath and convert it in to 2 bathrooms as shown in the attached layouts, the main thing is that we are getting rid of the bath tub to get some extra space. I wanted to know; 1. If we need council’s approval for this. 2. Any idea on roughly how much this would cost us 3. Any suggestions on the design are welcome. we are also planning to remove the cupboard from the room and take that extra space in the main bathroom.
