Renovating your home should be exciting, not stressful. But anyone who's been through a bad building experience knows how quickly things can go wrong: budget blowouts, missed deadlines, and trades that are impossible to coordinate.

Refresh Renovations works differently. Your dedicated Renovation Consultant manages everything from design through to the finished build, so you have one person to call, one clear process to follow, and a team that's accountable to you from start to finish.

Whether you have detailed plans ready to go or you're still working out what's possible, get in touch for a free consultation today.

Why choose Refresh Renovations?

It’s simple when you choose us. 

You’ll be partnered with a local Renovation Consultant who operates as your single point of contact. They’ll work with you from your initial consultation, right until you walk into your newly renovated home. 

Positioned as your project manager, it’s their responsibility to organise and manage all elements of your renovation, from design to build. This structure not only makes your experience stress-free but also allows for strategic planning, which ultimately reduces your costs and keeps project delivery running to the timeline.  

The results? High-quality home renovations that exceed client expectations.

What are the current renovation trends in Tauranga?

Tauranga's popularity continues to grow, and that's driving real activity in the renovation market. Here's what we're seeing most from local homeowners right now:

Renovating to sell. With strong buyer demand, many homeowners are investing in renovations to maximise their property's value before going to market. Kitchen refreshes, bathroom updates and general modernisation are particularly popular.

Extensions and additions. For families who want more space without moving, second-floor additions and room extensions are a practical and cost-effective solution.

Open-plan living conversions. As Tauranga attracts retirees and empty nesters, we're seeing a lot of interest in converting underused bedrooms and offices into open-plan living areas — turning family homes into contemporary, entertaining-friendly spaces.

Minimalist interiors. Clean lines, simple colour palettes, new flooring and smart storage solutions are consistently in demand. Homeowners want spaces that feel calm and uncluttered.

How much will my renovation cost?

Renovation costs depend on the materials chosen, the existing state of the space, and the complex nature of your plans, i.e. whether there are significant structural changes to the home. 

For example, the rough cost of a basic bathroom renovation can range from $20,000* to $30,000+*. This example includes replacing your shower or bath, sinks, and tapware but not changing the position of any fixtures. In contrast, a high-end bathroom renovation could cost anywhere upwards of $50,000*.

Ultimately, the cost of each home renovation project will be unique. If you’d like to hear an estimated cost for your renovation ideas, get in touch today.

*Costs are rough estimates and are subject to change. For a fixed-quote accurate to your specific project, please consult your local Refresh Renovations Consultant.
