Bathroom renovations are such a great way to improve a much-used part of your home. After all no one likes having to use a dank, cold, clammy bathroom with cracked tiles, a toilet that barely works and broken taps. Bathroom renovations are something we specialise in, and there’s so many interesting ways of improving the look and utility of a bathroom.
Our bathroom renovation service includes everything that you need to tear up and replace the entire room. We can:
safely demolish your existing bathroom and remove all of the rubbish, including things like vanities, bathtubs and toilets;
lay new floor cement sheeting and re-plaster walls where required;
test and repair structural timber in the floor and walls;
paint walls and ceiling surfaces with mould-resistant paints;
fit new shower, toilets, vanities, mirrors, shelving and any other bathroom fixtures you may want;
and disconnection / reconnection or fitting off of any plumbing or electrical requirements.
Our renovation services include certified plumbing and electrical trades, and all staff that are approved for site works are qualified and experienced.
If you’re on a tight budget, we can also look at re-using things like your existing vanity or toilet if they’re still in good condition and you like them, and there are options to explore for lower cost fixtures. However one thing that we never compromise on is our workmanship quality. Maintaining this is important to us and our reputation.
Bathroom Installations
If you are in the process of renovating your bathroom, it is important to choose the right installation company. Many companies offer a wide range of services, so it is important to choose one that specializes in bathroom installations. They will be able to help you with every step of the process, from choosing the right products to installing them correctly.
Bathroom Fixtures
When choosing bathroom fixtures, it is important to select ones that are both stylish and functional. There are many different types of fixtures to choose from, so you should take your time and compare different options. It is also important to make sure that the fixtures you choose are compatible with the rest of your bathroom.
Bathroom Accessories
There are a number of accessories that can target different areas of your bathroom. For example, if you have a shower stall, you should consider adding a built-in or handheld shower head. They are both very useful and easy to install. While they will help create a more luxurious bathroom look, they may also end up saving you money on your water bill due to their water-saving features. They can also provide additional functionality, such as a massage shower head.
Shower Enclosures
One of the most effective ways to upgrade your bathroom is by installing a shower enclosure. These enclosures are long lasting and aesthetically pleasing. Most have sleek designs that will match the rest of your bathroom fixtures.
Bathroom Flooring
The flooring in your bathroom is one of the most important aspects of the renovation process. It is important to choose a material that is both durable and stylish. There are many different types of flooring to choose from, including ceramic floor tiles, marble, concrete, natural stone, and vinyl flooring.
Bathtub Refinishing
If your bathtub is looking worn out and outdated, it may be time for a tub refinishing. You can either choose to refinish the entire tub or just the top of the tub.
Bathroom Renovations and Remodelling
Improvements to bathrooms are a popular way for people to add value to their homes. In Australia, the complete bathroom renovation costs vary and take about five weeks of work on the average. This depends on how much work must be done in order to change the look and function of the bathroom.
The bathroom’s size, layout and overall design can make it difficult to renovate. That’s why it’s important to plan ahead before starting any major renovations.
How Much Does It Cost On Average To Renovate A Bathroom?
Many individuals are shocked to learn that bathroom renovation cost can be quite high, yet when you consider everything necessary, it’s easy to see where the money goes.
In most cases, labour and building materials costs are at least twice as much as the fixtures and fittings.
Before you decide to install a new bathroom or renovate an existing one, it may be crucial to have an idea of the cost. The main cost is usually divided into two parts: labor and material.
To give you a rough approximation:
Small retiling job starts at $5000
Small bathroom renovation starts at $10000
Mid range bathroom renovation is from $15000 to $20000
Again, the cost depends on the renovation services chosen e.g. tiling of the bathroom, installation of shower glass panels, and also on the size of the bathroom.
Most expensive part is usually retiling the bathroom – the process of tiling the bathroom, not just the cost of the tiles.

Tips On Styling And Bathroom Renovations
When it comes to bathroom renovations, there are a few key things to keep in mind. Bathrooms can be styled in a variety of ways, so it’s important to think about what you want before starting any work. Here are some tips on renovating your bathroom:
1. Planning works wonders
When it comes to renovations, a good plan goes a long way. Start by brainstorming what you want from your dream bathroom. Think about what you use your bathroom for and how often. Do you want a luxurious retreat that provides relaxation at the end of a long day? Or do you have children who require easy access to washroom facilities? Once you know what you want, start drawing up bathroom layout plans and budgeting for your project.
2. Choose the right contractor
Not all contractors are created equal. It’s important to do your research and find a contractor who has experience with bathroom renovations. They should be able to give you an estimate of the cost and duration of the project.
3. Stick to your budget
Renovating a bathroom can be expensive, so it’s important to stick to your budget. There are a few ways to do this. One is to choose lower-cost materials such as vinyl flooring and ceramic tiles. Another is to DIY some of the work yourself. However, be careful not to overspend by underestimating the cost of labour.
4. Don’t forget the little things
When renovating a bathroom, it’s easy to focus on the big items such as the bathtub or sink. But don’t forget about the small details that can make a big difference. Things like new light fixtures, a beautiful mirror, and stylish towel racks can all add to the look and feel of your bathroom.
5. Be patient
Renovating a bathroom can be a long process, so be patient. It’s worth taking the time to get it right. And remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day and so won’t your dream bathroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have an idea of your budget and how you want things to look. There’s a huge cost scale in terms of what you could end up spending, so the more of an idea you have coming in to this, the better. It’ll help us narrow down what you need. A good idea from both a look and cost perspective is to have a look at various product catalogues or look at what’s available in stores. While it might not tell you how much you’ll need to budget for your project since you don’t know what the labour component will entail, at least you’ll start to get an idea for the variances in cost from cheap/low quality fixings, to the really expensive ones. It’ll also tell you if the idea in your head is feasible, or if it’s actually an extremely expensive boutique look that you might not be able to afford. Our guide above on questions that you need to ask yourself before you start planning your renovation will assist you.
Definitely! If you already have materials and fixings that you’ve used in other parts of your house and you want everything to match, you can purchase these yourself and supply them to us for use. We can also help advise on where to buy things if you’re unsure. Just remember though, if you’re ordering your own components, parts, materials or fixtures that you don’t already own, the ordering time could be significant and may end up blowing out your completion date by a lot.
We’re happy to negotiate and work with you or your other tradespeople on a job if this is what you want to do. Just be aware that sometimes involving too many different people on a single project can sometimes cause problems. Having too many people can cause things like accidental damage, or miscommunications that result in scheduling conflicts between different trade processes that rely on one another. It just needs a little bit of management.
Floating vanities have a great modern look to them
Freestanding bathtubs are growing in popularity
Hidden cistern toilets allow you to conceal the 'ugliest' part of the toilet
