Email Us Bathroom Renovations in Kew & Kew East
Kew’s wide, tree-lined streets are home to some of Melbourne’s finest residential architecture – stately Edwardian homes near Cotham Road, Federation-era properties overlooking Studley Park, and modernist gems from the mid-century. These are homes built with quality, and their bathrooms should reflect that.
Master Maintenance has been renovating bathrooms across Melbourne’s inner east for over 15 years. We know the challenges that come with Kew’s older homes – original plumbing that’s past its use-by date, lath-and-plaster walls, heritage overlays, and the high expectations that come with renovating in one of Melbourne’s premier suburbs.
