Bathroom Issues We Solve for Wollongong Homes

  • Outdated Fixtures & Layouts
    Many Wollongong homes have original bathrooms that no longer meet modern needs. Cramped layouts, outdated fixtures, and inefficient designs make daily routines frustrating. We transform these spaces into functional, attractive bathrooms that add value to your property.
  • Water Damage & Failed Waterproofing
    Leaking showers, damaged walls, and failed waterproofing are common in older bathrooms. These issues cause structural damage if left unaddressed. We strip back damaged areas, repair any structural issues, and install compliant waterproofing systems that protect your home.
  • Poor Ventilation & Moisture Problems
    Inadequate ventilation leads to mold, deteriorating surfaces, and moisture damage - particularly problematic in Wollongong's coastal climate. We install proper ventilation systems and use moisture-resistant materials to create healthier bathroom environments.
  • Terrace House Bathroom Challenges
    Wollongong's older terrace houses present unique renovation challenges - compact spaces, aged plumbing, and structural constraints. We specialize in maximizing these small bathrooms while addressing outdated infrastructure.
  • Aging Plumbing Systems
    Old terracotta piping, corroded fixtures, and outdated plumbing frequently cause problems in Wollongong properties. We upgrade plumbing systems as part of bathroom renovations, preventing future leaks and ensuring reliable performance.

Wollongong Bathroom Renovation FAQs

How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most bathroom renovations in Wollongong take approximately 2 weeks from demolition to completion. Complex projects involving structural modifications or extensive plumbing work may take longer. We provide specific timeframes when quoting your project.

Can I use my bathroom during the renovation?
Your bathroom will be unusable during the renovation period. For homes with multiple bathrooms, we can often stage work to maintain one functioning bathroom. For single-bathroom homes, you’ll need alternative arrangements for the 2-week period.

What bathroom layout works best for Wollongong homes?
Open-plan layouts maximize space and light, particularly beneficial for compact bathrooms common in older Wollongong properties. We assess your existing space and suggest layouts that improve functionality while working within structural constraints.

Do you handle waterproofing compliance?
Yes, all our bathroom renovations include compliant waterproofing installed by licensed tradespeople. We provide a 6-year waterproofing warranty and ensure all work meets current building standards and regulations.

What fixtures and brands do you recommend?
We work with quality brands including Caroma, Methven, and Dorf, selecting fixtures appropriate for your budget and preferences. We can source virtually any fixture or finish you prefer and provide recommendations based on quality, durability, and value.

Can you work with my existing bathroom layout?
In many cases, yes. However, relocating plumbing fixtures significantly increases costs. We’ll assess whether your existing layout works efficiently or whether modifications would justify the additional investment.

What’s included in your bathroom renovation quote?
Our quotes include demolition, removal of old fixtures, plumbing and electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, fixture installation, painting, and all necessary finishing work. We itemize all components so you understand exactly what’s included.
