One of the first questions we get from Pretoria and Gauteng homeowners is: “How much is this going to cost?”
Renovation prices vary a lot depending on scope, materials, finishes, and location — but with material and labour costs still fluctuating in 2026, people want realistic numbers before they commit.
Below is a current, honest price guide for common renovation projects in Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Gauteng-wide (as of early 2026). These are ballpark ranges — every job is custom, so we always give a detailed quote after seeing the space and understanding your vision.
1. Kitchen Renovations
- Basic refresh (new cupboards, countertops, paint, minor plumbing/electrical): R45,000 – R90,000
- Mid-range remodel (full layout change, new appliances, tiling, modern finishes): R90,000 – R180,000
- Luxury / high-end (custom cabinetry, imported stone, smart features): R180,000 – R350,000+
Most common in Pretoria: R80,000–R150,000 for a solid family kitchen upgrade.
2. Bathroom Remodels
- Small bathroom refresh (new vanity, tiles, fittings): R35,000 – R70,000
- Full bathroom renovation (wet area waterproofing, new shower/bath, tiling, plumbing): R70,000 – R140,000
- Luxury ensuite / spa-style: R140,000 – R250,000+
Tip: Waterproofing and proper ventilation are non-negotiable in Gauteng — skipping them costs more later.
3. Full Home Renovations & Extensions
- Single room extension (10–20 m²): R120,000 – R250,000
- Medium extension (30–50 m², open-plan living): R250,000 – R550,000
- Whole-house renovation (multiple rooms, new roof sections, electrical/plumbing): R500,000 – R1,500,000+
Pretoria reality: Extensions to add living space or a bedroom are very popular and often add strong resale value.
4. Drywall & Partitioning
- Small room division (one wall/partition): R8,000 – R18,000
- Full home office or extra bedroom partition: R18,000 – R45,000
- Commercial office fit-out (multiple partitions): R45,000 – R120,000+
Fast & affordable — most jobs done in 3–7 days.
5. Ceiling Installation & Repairs
- Single room gypsum ceiling (with cornice): R8,000 – R20,000
- Bulkhead + lighting feature: R15,000 – R35,000
- Whole-house ceilings + repairs: R40,000 – R100,000+
Very common in open-plan conversions and older homes needing a modern look.
6. Painting & Waterproofing
- Single room interior painting: R5,000 – R12,000
- Full house interior painting (3–4 bedrooms): R25,000 – R60,000
- Exterior painting + waterproofing: R30,000 – R90,000+
Pro tip: Use quality low-VOC paints — worth it for health and longevity.
7. Flooring, Tiling & Paving

- Full house flooring (laminate/engineered wood): R40,000 – R120,000
