Adding an ensuite to a master bedroom

Look at the floorplan below, where we assume your bedroom is 4.8 metres long and 2.2 metres wide.

You can add a fully functional ensuite with just 2.2 square metres in this space by erecting a wall 1 metre away from the existing wall. This will allow you to include a shower, a small vanity and a toilet pan.

Cost of adding an ensuite to the master bedroom?

The cost of your new ensuite will depend on whether you choose to tackle the project yourself or hire a professional to coordinate the trades, such as tiling, plumbing, and electrical work.

It’s important to note that adding an ensuite to your master bedroom will require plumbing. If you hire a professional to execute the work, you can expect to pay around $25,000 to $40,000, depending on your chosen finishes.
