The bathrooms we build in Ocean Shores
Most jobs here are the same job: the original room, out, and a properly built one in its place. These are the four shapes that takes.
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.

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
The strip out line is the one that matters most in this suburb, because in a house of one known vintage what comes out is predictable. That is why there is less guesswork in a quote here.

The homes here
The homes we work on in Ocean Shores
The houses in Ocean Shores went in together rather than one at a time, so the stock is consistent and so are the original bathrooms in it. The southern half is elevated and the northern half is flat and closer to the beach.
Styles and finishes
What people choose around here
Most of what we do here is replacing an original bathroom with something newer. These are the finishes people choose when they do.
Tile
Large format, and stone look porcelain
Large format means fewer grout lines and less to clean. Stone look porcelain gives you the finish without the upkeep of real stone.
Tapware
Chrome, brushed nickel or matt black
Chrome and brushed nickel are the safe choices and both wear well. Matt black is still the most asked for when people want something sharper.
Vanity
Wall hung, with a stone top
Wall hung is the single change that makes a standard bathroom feel newer. A stone or engineered top is where most of the perceived quality sits.
Screen
Frameless glass
Frameless is what people want when they are replacing a moulded base and a framed screen. It opens the room up more than any tile choice.
Walls
Full height tile in the wet area
Full height in the shower and paint elsewhere is the usual split. It looks finished and it keeps the budget where it shows.
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
The room we’re usually replacing
A stone trough against dark mosaic
The ensuite, which is nearly always next
