Types of Bathroom Renovations We Complete
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 correct approach depends on which situation 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.

What an itemised quote actually includes
Instead of giving you one overall price, we break the quotation down so each part of the renovation has its own cost:
| Line item | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Demolition & disposal | Strip-out, skip hire, make-safe |
| Plumbing | Rough-in, fit-off, compliance certificate |
| Electrical | Rough-in, fit-off, certificate of electrical safety |
| Waterproofing | Membrane, curing time, AS 3740 compliance certificate |
| Tiling | Material, set-out, supply (if by us) and installation |
| Vanity, toilet & fixtures | Supply (if by us) and installation |
| Painting & finishing | Made good after install |
| Provisional sums | Unselected items are shown as allowances rather than included without explanation |
How Long Does a Bathroom Renovation Take?
A typical bathroom renovation takes around three to five weeks on site, from demolition through to the final caulking. Design and fixture selection beforehand can add several weeks, since tiles and tapware can carry 4–8 week lead times.
Our Bathroom Renovation Process
From start to finish, the work moves through six planned stages, with clear visibility of the team and the next step.
Consultation & design
We visit your home, discuss your brief and budget, and help you choose layout, fixtures and finishes.
Fixed, itemised quote
You receive a written, trade-by-trade quote before any work begins — no vague allowances.
Trade coordination
Demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in are scheduled and sequenced.
Waterproofing & compliance
Wet areas are waterproofed to AS 3740 before any tiling begins.
Tiling, fit-off & finishing
Tiling, fixtures, caulking and finishing touches are completed.
Final walkthrough
Once the bathroom is complete, we carry out a final walkthrough with you to review the finished space before handover.

Compliance & Handover Documentation
Plenty of renovation quotes look similar on price. What sets them apart is who carries out the work and what you're left with once it's completed. Here's what we provide you with as part of the project documentation.
Certificates you receive at handover
Once the work is completed, the appropriate licensed professional supplies the relevant certificate:
- Waterproofing certificate — every wet area waterproofed to AS 3740, issued by our licensed waterproofer
- Plumbing Compliance Certificate — provided as part of the documentation for your completed plumbing works
- Certificate of Electrical Safety — issued by our licensed electrician for all electrical work
Why that matters
Licensed professionals are required for waterproofing, plumbing and electrical work in Victoria. Their certification gives you a formal record of the qualified tradesperson responsible for each job.
These documents matter well beyond handover. Don't throw these records away. You may need them when you sell, make an insurance claim, or need to trace a problem years after the work is done. Ask your renovator to put the required certificates in writing before work begins.
