Bathroom Renovations in Bendigo
Full bathroom rebuilds and targeted bathroom repairs — built on correct waterproofing, correct falls and correct sequencing.
Overview
Bathroom Renovations done properly
A bathroom is the least forgiving room in a house. Everything happens in a small footprint, several trades work over the top of each other, and any mistake in waterproofing shows up as damage somewhere else two years later.
We build bathrooms in the right order, with the waterproofing and substrate treated as the important part rather than the step before tiling.

Typical jobs
Problems and situations we help with
- A shower leaking into the adjoining room or hallway
- Loose or drummy tiles and failing grout
- A 1970s or 1980s bathroom at the end of its life
- Water pooling because the floor doesn't fall to the waste
- Mould that returns no matter how often it's cleaned
- A small bathroom that needs a better layout, not just new tiles
- Rotted framing found behind a wall or under a floor
Local relevance in Bendigo
Bathrooms in older Bendigo homes are frequently additions — a wet area added into a back verandah or rear lean-to decades ago, often on timber floors with limited fall and no waterproofing membrane at all. Strip out is where the real condition shows.
The other common job here is the mid-century brick home around Kennington, Strathdale or Golden Square with an original compact bathroom and separate toilet. Combining the two spaces usually gives a far better result than retiling what's there.

Questions
Bathroom Renovations in Bendigo — common questions
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A typical full bathroom runs a few weeks on site once started, driven by rough-in, waterproofing cure times and tiling. Delays usually come from fixture lead times, so early selection helps.
Can you fix a leaking shower without rebuilding the whole bathroom?
Sometimes. If the membrane is intact and the issue is grout, silicone or a screen, a targeted repair works. If the membrane has failed, rebuilding the shower is the only lasting fix.
Do you supply the fixtures?
We can supply, or you can. Either way the quote states allowances clearly so you know what's included.
Will we be without a bathroom the whole time?
If it's the only bathroom, yes for most of the build. We'll give you dates so you can plan, and we prioritise getting the toilet back in service where practical.
