The bathrooms we build in Bangalow
Four rooms cover most of what gets asked for in the village. Every one of them is the whole job, done by us, from the strip out to the last tap.
Full bathroom renovations
The whole room back to the frame, re-plumbed, waterproofed, tiled and fitted off, with one builder managing it from start to finish.

Walk in showers and wet rooms
A level entry with no step to climb over, for a more open and modern bathroom.

Step free and small bathrooms
A flat floor from the doorway through to the shower, and a room that is easy for everyone in the house to use.

Laundry renovations
A laundry done at the same time as the bathroom, so both rooms are finished in one visit.

What a renovation actually covers
One builder does the whole job, so nobody is waiting on anybody and there’s one person to ring. This is what you get, and it’s priced the same way on your quote.
Strip out and make good
- Protection through the house and the room stripped to the frame
- Old fixtures, tile and lining removed and carted away
- The floor opened up and looked at before anything is quoted as final
- Any soft timber or old patching replaced while it’s open
- Everything that hangs on a wall planned before the walls are closed up
The wet area
- Plumbing and electrical roughed in by licensed trades, with certificates
- The floor set to drain properly
- Certified waterproofing
- The finished waterproofing checked before a single tile goes down
Finishes and fit off
- Wall and floor tiling, with the layout drawn before the first sheet is cut
- Vanity, basin, toilet, bath and shower screen supplied or installed
- Taps, rails, shelves and mirror fitted and adjusted
- Silicone, grout, paint and trims finished and the room cleaned
- A walk through with you, and anything on the list fixed before we invoice
Everything on that list is included in your quote, and anything you have not chosen yet is listed with the amount we have allowed for it.

The homes here
The homes we work on in Bangalow
Nearly every job we do in Bangalow is in an older timber house. Weatherboard cottages with high ceilings, boarded walls, picture rails and tall sash windows, most of them raised up off the ground. We also work on the newer homes around the village and out through the hills behind it.
Styles and finishes
What people choose in Bangalow
Most of the homes here have some character to them, so the finishes people go for tend to sit comfortably with the age of the house. These are the ones that come up most often.
Tile
Handmade square tile and classic subway
Both suit a period room and both are easy to live with. Handmade tile has a bit of movement in the glaze, and subway is the safe choice that still looks right in twenty years.
Tapware
Brushed brass, chrome or matt black
Brushed brass warms up a timber and white room. Chrome is the classic. Matt black is the usual choice where people want the fittings to disappear.
Vanity
Timber, wall hung or on legs
A timber vanity suits these houses better than a gloss one. Wall hung keeps the floor clear and makes a small room feel bigger; legs suit a room with a bit more space in it.
Screen
Frameless glass, or a slim black frame
Frameless keeps a small room open. A slim black frame picks up the window joinery in an older house and hides the marks better.
Walls
Tile to a rail, paint above
Tiling to the ceiling can fight a room with a picture rail, so the tile often stops at a rail and paint carries the rest. It costs less and it suits the house.
How it works
How your renovation runs
Every job runs the same way, so you know the order before anything starts.
We come out and measure up, price it in writing, then book the trades in a run so the job keeps moving once it has started.
- A call, then a visit to measure up and look at the room
- A written quote, with the amount we have allowed for anything you have not chosen yet
- Strip out, back to the frame, and everything carted away
- Water feeds and electrical, then certified waterproofing
- Tiling, then the fit off, then the final clean
- The waterproofing certification handed over at the end
