We are a bathroom renovation company for powder rooms, family bathrooms, ensuites and small bathrooms. Every shower gets a waterproof membrane that is tested before a single tile goes on.
The wet area costs the most: the shower or tub, the waterproofing behind it, the tile on it, and the plumbing under it. Moving a toilet or a shower drain adds the most on top, because the plumber has to open the floor. Keeping the fixtures where they are is the biggest saving in a bathroom.
A bathroom looks fine until the tile comes off. These three are what we find most often behind it.
Water gets past old caulking for years. The subfloor under the tub is soft when we lift it. We cut it out and replace it.
Many older showers have tile on plain drywall. The wall behind is damp and crumbling. The new one gets a membrane.
A fan that blows into the attic grows mould up there. We run the duct to an outside vent.
The bathrooms shown are examples of the finish level, not rooms we built. More bathroom renovation ideas are on our projects page.
Three kinds of bathroom, three very different jobs. The plumbing positions decide which one you are in.
A toilet, a small vanity, a mirror, a light and a fan. Often done without touching the plumbing positions.
Tub with a shower over it or a separate shower, a vanity with storage, tile floor and walls, a proper exhaust fan. The room most families use every morning.
A walk-in shower with glass, a double vanity, heated floor, better lighting. Sometimes we take space from a closet to make it fit.
A bathroom runs in seven steps. The membrane test in the middle is the one that keeps it dry for years. Our process page shows who does what at each stage, on every job.
We measure the room and check where the drains are. You choose tile, vanity and fixtures, and we order them.
Moving a drain or adding a circuit needs a permit. We file it before demolition.
Everything comes out to the studs where the shower goes. We look at the subfloor and the pipes.
New supply lines, drains, the fan circuit and the GFCI outlet go in. The inspector sees them before the walls close.
Cement board or a waterproof board goes on the wet walls. The membrane is applied and flood-tested.
Floor and walls are tiled, grouted and sealed. Edges get metal trim or bullnose.
Vanity, toilet, taps, lights and the glass go in last. The fan is vented outside and tested.
Bathroom renovation cost climbs with these choices. The first one is the big one.
Two bathroom questions that come up before almost every quote.
No for a like-for-like swap: a new vanity, toilet or tub in the same spot, new tile, paint. Yes when you move a drain, add a new bathroom, move a wall or add a circuit. We pull it and book the inspections.
Yes. A moved drain means the floor is opened, the pipe is re-run to the stack, and the plumber and the inspector are both involved. If the layout works, keeping the drains where they are is the biggest saving in a bathroom renovation.
If you need one cracked tile swapped or a new toilet dropped in, a handyman will do it faster and cheaper. We take the jobs where the walls come open.
