Our Bathroom Renovation Process
Every Preston bathroom renovation follows our proven 8-step process:
Step 1: Free Consultation and Quote
We visit your Preston home to inspect the existing bathroom, discuss your vision and take measurements. You’ll receive a detailed, fixed-price quote within a few days.
Step 2: Design and Material Selection
We help you choose tiles, fixtures, vanities and tapware. We work with Melbourne’s leading suppliers and can recommend options to suit any budget.
Step 3: Strip-Out and Demolition
Our team removes everything – tiles, fixtures, vanity, shower screen, bathtub. We handle all waste removal and leave the space ready for the rebuild.
Step 4: Plumbing and Electrical Rough-In
Many Preston homes built in the 1950s and 1960s still have original galvanised plumbing that’s past its lifespan. Our in-house plumbers assess and upgrade pipework as needed. Our electricians install new wiring for lighting, exhaust fans, heated towel rails and power points. Because both trades are on our team, this stage runs without scheduling delays.
Step 5: Waterproofing
We apply waterproofing membrane to all wet areas in strict compliance with AS 3740 – the Australian Standard for waterproofing. Every job includes a certificate of compliance.
Step 6: Tiling
Our tilers lay floor and wall tiles to your chosen design – large-format porcelain, natural stone, mosaic feature walls or classic subway tiles. Precision cuts and consistent grout lines throughout.
Step 7: Fixtures and Fit-Off
Vanity, toilet, shower screen, tapware, mirrors, towel rails, lighting – everything gets installed and connected. Our plumber and electrician handle all final connections and testing.
Step 8: Final Clean and Handover
Thorough final clean, walk-through of the finished bathroom, and handover of all compliance certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a building permit for a bathroom renovation in Preston?
Standard bathroom renovations that don’t alter the building’s structure don’t require a permit. However, if the work exceeds $16,000 (which most full renovations do), you’ll need a domestic building contract. As a licensed builder, we handle all paperwork and ensure compliance with City of Darebin regulations.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most renovations take 2 to 3 weeks from strip-out to handover. Larger bathrooms or homes needing plumbing upgrades may take up to 4 weeks. We provide a clear timeline in your quote.
Can you renovate my bathroom if it has asbestos?
Yes. Many Preston homes built before 1990 have asbestos in bathroom walls, floors or behind tiles. We work with licensed asbestos removalists to safely remove it before renovation begins.
What warranty do you offer?
All work comes with statutory warranties under Victorian building legislation. Structural work is covered for 6 years, non-structural for 2 years. All fixtures carry their manufacturer’s warranty.
