A quote is only as useful as the information behind it. Start here with the basics of your bathroom, ensuite or laundry in Murrumbeena or a nearby suburb. Your request opens the first four stages of the work: consultation, assessment, design and then a written quote for the room you actually want.
The request is stage 01 of 12. Nothing is ordered or demolished until after the quote stage.
A few clear lines are enough. Say which room it is, what is not working now and what you would like it to become. Plain language is fine: you do not need trade terms to get a useful conversation started.
Only your name, email and message are required. Phone, location, subject, budget and timeframe are optional.
Have a general question rather than a renovation in mind? Use the contact page instead.
A main bathroom, an ensuite, a small bathroom, a laundry, just the shower, or a shower that is leaking. Each starts from a different scope.
Hollow-sounding tiles near the shower, mould on the ceiling, or a vanity that stops the door opening. Problems like these tell us what the assessment needs to check.
A bath you want to keep, a window that cannot move or a period detail worth saving. Tell us early so the design works around it.
The Bathroom Renovation Cost Guide explains what moves the price up or down, so you can decide what matters before you ask.
You do not need drawings. Phone photos and a tape measure tell us a great deal about a room before anyone sees it in person. Describe the room in your message and have photos ready for the consultation, along with the measurements below.
01The whole room from the doorway, in daylight if you can
02The shower or bath, including the floor waste and screen
03Any damage: cracked grout, lifting tiles, stained skirting or swollen vanity panels
04The ceiling, exhaust fan and window
05The other side of the shower wall, if you suspect a leak
01Room length and width at floor level
02Ceiling height
03Door width and which way it swings
04Window position and sill height
05Width of the current vanity and shower recess
06Distance from the centre of the toilet to the nearest wall
Your request starts the planning half of the job. Materials, demolition and the trades all come later. You can see the full running order in our 12-stage bathroom renovation process.
We talk through your request: the room, what is not working, how your household uses it and what you want changed. This is the time to raise anything you must keep or cannot live with.
We check the existing room: dimensions, plumbing positions, ventilation, the condition of the floor and walls, and any signs of past water damage. That way the plan is based on what is really there.
We settle the layout, fixtures and materials: where the shower goes, the vanity size, tiles and storage. Read how this stage works on Bathroom Design.
Once the scope is defined, the quote is written against that design. You are looking at a price for the room you discussed and agreed on, not a rough guess from a photo.
For every service, including tiling, waterproofing and cabinetry, see all services.
We renovate bathrooms in Murrumbeena and nearby south-east Melbourne suburbs, including Carnegie, Hughesdale, Oakleigh, Chadstone, Malvern East, Bentleigh East and Ormond. If you live close by but your suburb is not listed, include it in your request. More detail is on the service areas page.
Straight answers to the practical questions that come up before starting a request.
No, the quote is free. It comes after consultation, assessment and design, so it reflects your actual room rather than a general estimate.
Yes. A leak can sometimes be fixed without a full renovation, depending on where the water is getting out, and finding that is what the assessment is for. Describe where you see water or damage, and read Leaking Shower Repairs to see what a repair can involve.
No. A rough range helps guide design choices, but plenty of people start without one. The consultation is where scope and priorities get sorted out.
Not at all. Selections are made during the design stage. If you want to start collecting ideas, try Bathroom Tile Ideas or Small Bathroom Ideas.
Yes. Mention both rooms in your details. Laundries use many of the same wet-area trades, so planning them together can make sense.
