Bathroom Renovation Types
Complete Bathroom Renovations
A full strip-out and rebuild covering layout, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling and fixtures. Suited to a bathroom that's dated throughout or where the layout needs to change. The result is a bathroom rebuilt properly from the studs up, with pricing outlined in our cost guide.
Ensuite Renovations
Renovating an existing ensuite, or adding a new one off the main bedroom. Typically includes layout planning around existing plumbing, waterproofing, tiling and fixtures scaled to a compact footprint. See our ensuite cost guide for what to budget.
Small Bathroom Renovations
Renovating compact bathrooms and powder rooms where layout and fixture choices matter more than floor area. Typically includes wall-hung vanities, large-format tiling and considered lighting. More in our small bathroom guide.
Luxury Bathroom Renovations
A premium renovation featuring feature tiling, freestanding baths, frameless glass and custom joinery. Suited to homeowners treating their main bathroom or ensuite as a long-term investment. The result is a genuine statement bathroom rather than a standard refresh.
Accessible Bathroom Renovations
A renovation built around step-free showers, grab rails, non-slip flooring and comfort-height or elongated toilets. Suited to households planning ahead for ageing in place or anyone needing a safer, easier bathroom, selected to look considered rather than clinical.
Bathroom Trade Services
Walk-In Showers & Shower Renovations
Frameless and walk-in shower installations that open a bathroom up visually. Typically includes precise waterproofing and floor falls, since there's no screen containing the water. The result is a cleaner-looking, easier-to-maintain shower than a standard framed screen.
Bathroom Waterproofing
Waterproofing of wet areas to Australian Standard AS 3740, with a compliance certificate provided on completion. Suited to any renovation, and equally to homeowners needing failed waterproofing corrected on its own. Full detail is in our AS 3740 waterproofing guide.
Bathroom Tiling
Floor and wall tiling from large-format porcelain to feature tiling and mosaics, supplied through our partnership with Devine Tiles. Suited to full renovations and standalone re-tiling where the existing layout is sound.
Vanities, Fixtures & Fittings
Installation of vanities, tapware, showerheads and toilet suites sourced from trusted suppliers. Suited to a targeted refresh over an existing, sound layout rather than a full renovation. The result is a meaningfully updated bathroom without the cost of a full rebuild.
This service suits homeowners planning anything from a full bathroom rebuild to a targeted upgrade of an existing, sound layout. We manage the entire renovation process ourselves — demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling and finishing — from the first site visit through to final walkthrough, so you're not coordinating separate trades on your own. Our complete guide to bathroom renovations in Geelong covers the full topic in more depth if you're still researching.
Why Renovate Your Bathroom?
Most bathroom renovations start with a specific, practical problem rather than a desire for change for its own sake. The most common reasons homeowners contact us include:
An outdated layout
The room no longer suits how the household actually uses it.
Water damage or failed waterproofing
Often discovered as lifting tiles, a persistent damp smell, or damage in the room below.
A lack of storage
Particularly in older Geelong homes built before modern vanity and cabinetry standards.
Accessibility needs
Planning ahead for ageing in place, or supporting a family member with mobility requirements.
Adding value
Ahead of selling, or simply as a long-term investment in the home.
Improving daily living
A bathroom that's more comfortable, easier to clean, and better suited to a busy household.
The right approach depends on which of these applies. A full renovation suits a layout or water-damage problem; a smaller, targeted upgrade often suits a storage or cosmetic concern. The services below cover both.
Bathroom Renovation Costs & Timeline in Geelong
Costs depend on bathroom size, layout changes, materials, fixtures, and how much plumbing or waterproofing work is involved. As a starting guide, a bathroom renovation quote Geelong homeowners can expect to see something like this:
Cosmetic refresh
$8,000–$15,000
New fixtures, tapware, paint, re-tile over sound waterproofing.
Mid-range renovation
$15,000–$35,000
Full strip-out, new waterproofing, tiling, quality fixtures.
Premium renovation
$35,000–$55,000
Reconfigured layout, feature tiling, frameless screen.
Luxury / custom
$55,000+
Bespoke joinery, natural stone, underfloor heating.
A standard bathroom renovation takes three to five weeks on site, from demolition to final caulking. Design and fixture selection beforehand can add several weeks, since tiles and tapware can carry 4–8 week lead times.

Request a QuoteEvery Trade on Your Bathroom Is Licensed
Plenty of renovation quotes look similar on price. What separates them is who actually does the work, and what you're left holding when it's finished. Here's exactly what you get on paper from us.
Certificates you receive at handover
Each issued by the licensed tradesperson who carried out that work:
- Waterproofing certificate — every wet area waterproofed to AS 3740, issued by our licensed waterproofer
- Plumbing Compliance Certificate — all plumbing work, issued by our licensed plumber
- Certificate of Electrical Safety — all electrical work, issued by our licensed electrician
Why that matters
Waterproofing, plumbing and electrical are all licensed work in Victoria. The certificate is your proof that a licensed person did it — not a general labourer.
These documents matter well beyond handover. You'll want them if you sell, if you claim on insurance, or if a fault appears years later and someone asks who did the work. Ask every renovator you're quoting for these in writing.
