Common Questions

Bathroom Renovations FAQs

How long does a full bathroom renovation typically take?

Timeframes depend on room size, subfloor condition, and curing times for waterproofing membranes and screed beds. During our on-site inspection, we give you a clear stage-by-stage schedule before work begins.

Do I supply the tiles and tapware, or do you?

We handle all structural wet-area building materials—cement sheeting, primers, waterproofing membranes, sand-cement screed, tile adhesives, grout, and silicone. Clients typically select their preferred tiles, vanity, and tapware so the finish matches their exact taste, and we can advise on suitable specifications.

Can you build a recessed tiled niche inside the shower?

Yes. During the framing and sheeting stage, we frame and line custom shower niches set to match your tile module, waterproof the recess thoroughly, and finish the edges with 45-degree mitres or metal trims.

What happens if timber rot is found under the old bathroom floor?

Once the old tiles and base are stripped out, we inspect the joists and subfloor. If moisture damage is present, we show you the affected area and rectify the substrate before installing new sheeting and waterproofing.
