What a full renovation covers
A full renovation takes the room back to its structure and rebuilds it. Each stage is scheduled so the next trade arrives to finished, checked work instead of fixing someone else’s.
Demolition
Old tiles, fixtures, linings and the tired wet-area substrate are removed, and the room is cleared ready for rough-in.
Plumbing and electrical
Pipes, wastes and wiring are set for the new layout: mixer heights, vanity waste, lighting, exhaust fan and power points.
Waterproofing
Wet areas are sealed with a membrane before a single tile goes down. It’s the stage you never see and the one that matters most. More on Waterproofing.
Tiling
Floors laid with fall to the waste, walls set out to avoid thin offcuts, and grout lines finished clean. See Bathroom Tiling.
Fixtures and finishing
Vanity, tapware, toilet, shower screen and mirrors go in, then the room is sealed, detailed and cleaned. See Vanity Installation.
Choose the layout, then the finishes
Decisions made at design stage stop costly changes mid-build. We settle both before the quote is written. Start with Bathroom Design, or browse layout ideas.

Full renovation questions
Working out a budget? The Bathroom Renovation Cost Guide explains what drives the price.
What's included in a full bathroom renovation?
Everything from strip-out to handover: demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in, waterproofing, tiling, fixtures and finishing. The exact scope for your room is set out in the written quote.
Can we live at home during the works?
Many people do. The bathroom is out of use from demolition until fixtures are connected, so if it’s your only one, arrange another shower and toilet for that stretch. We map the schedule with you before work starts.
What affects the cost?
Room size, whether plumbing moves, how much is tiled, your tile and fixture selections, custom joinery, and anything uncovered after demolition such as water damage. An on-site assessment prices the actual room.
How long does it take?
It depends on scope, selections and material lead times. How Long Does a Bathroom Renovation Take? walks through it stage by stage.
Do you work outside Murrumbeena?
Yes, including Carnegie, Hughesdale, Oakleigh, Chadstone, Malvern East, Bentleigh East and Ormond. See our service areas.
