Why Brunswick Homeowners Choose Master Maintenance
Brunswick’s eclectic housing stock ranges from Victorian-era terraces along the streets off Sydney Road, to Edwardian weatherboards, solid post-war brick homes and converted warehouse apartments near Lygon Street. Each property type presents different renovation challenges – from working within the tight floor plans of terrace houses to navigating the older plumbing common in pre-war homes. We’ve renovated bathrooms across Brunswick and understand the suburb inside out.
All trades in-house. Our licensed plumbers, electricians, tilers and waterproofing specialists are all employed by Master Maintenance. No subcontractors means better coordination, fewer delays and higher quality control.
Licensed builder. We hold Domestic Building Licence DBL100162 – we’re legally qualified to manage your renovation from demolition through to completion.
Fixed-price quotes. No surprise costs halfway through. Every quote is detailed and fixed before work begins.
Our Bathroom Renovation Process
Every Brunswick bathroom renovation follows our proven 8-step process:
Step 1: Free Consultation and Quote
We visit your Brunswick 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
Brunswick’s older homes – particularly the Victorian terraces and Edwardian weatherboards – often have original cast iron or galvanised plumbing that needs full replacement during renovation. Our in-house plumbers handle all upgrades. Our electricians install modern wiring to meet current standards. Both trades are on our team, so there’s no waiting between stages.
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 Brunswick?
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 Merri-bek 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 Brunswick 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.
