Bathroom Renovations
From a quiet ensuite to the family bathroom that gets used four times before eight in the morning — tiled and trimmed right.
Renovation service
A bathroom is the smallest room we build and the least forgiving. Waterproofing, slope to drain, ventilation and substrate are what separate a bathroom that still looks new in ten years from one that fails quietly behind the wall. We do that part properly and let the finishes be the visible half.
What's included
Every project is scoped and priced before we start.
Vanity, toilet and shower placed for the space you actually have.
Membranes, pans and sealed penetrations, tested before tile.
Set out so the cuts land where nobody looks and the lines stay true.
Rough-in changes, valves and drains, permitted and inspected.
In-floor heating, fans and make-up air that keep the room dry.
Measured after tile, so shower glass fits the room as built.
How it runs
We see the space, hear what you want and tell you honestly what is realistic for the budget you have in mind.
Drawings, materials and finishes agreed and priced before demolition — not chosen under pressure halfway through.
Permits submitted and followed through, trades booked in the order the build actually needs them.
Dust barriers, floor protection and a swept site every night, because you are usually still living in the house.
We walk it with you, fix the list, and hand over the warranty paperwork. Your sign-off is what ends the job.
Where bathrooms fail
A bathroom that leaks rarely announces itself. Water gets past tile that was set on backer board with no membrane, or through a shower pan with the wrong slope, or around a drain that was never properly sealed, and it does its work quietly inside the floor until a ceiling stains downstairs. By then the repair costs several times what the membrane would have.
We waterproof the whole wet area, flood-test the pan before a single tile goes down, and treat that as the non-negotiable part of the job. The tile is what you see; the membrane is what you are actually buying.
Common questions
Anything not covered here, just ask on the call.
Three to four weeks for a typical full bathroom, from demolition to the final silicone. Tile setting and curing set the pace, and rushing either is exactly how a bathroom ends up needing doing again.
Usually, and it is the single upgrade people are happiest with. It needs the slope built into the floor structure, which is straightforward on a joisted floor and more involved on a slab. We tell you which you have before you commit to it.
In a bathroom, yes — it is a relatively small area, it costs little to run on its own thermostat, and it is the change people notice every single morning. It has to go in during the build; retrofitting it means lifting the floor again.
If plumbing or electrical moves, yes — and the inspection protects you as much as it does anyone. Replacing fixtures in the same positions usually does not. We pull whatever the work needs as part of the contract.
