Upper floor
Main bathroom
The original segmented layout, small-format tiles and framed shower were replaced with full-height large-format tiling, a more open shower enclosure, contemporary fittings, recessed storage and new bathroom joinery.
Renovation В· bathrooms & kitchen
Three bathrooms and a kitchen, renewed as one project.
A coordinated renovation across a two-storey Bateau Bay home, rebuilding the main bathroom, ensuite and downstairs powder room while refreshing the kitchen with durable new finishes.
Project brief
Four high-use rooms coordinated across two levels.
The owners wanted the dated wet areas and kitchen renewed as one organised renovation. Work was sequenced across the ground and upper floors while circulation areas and retained finishes were protected.
The bathroom areas were stripped back so existing substrates, framing and services could be assessed before new wall linings, waterproofing, tiling and fixtures were installed. In the kitchen, the established layout was retained while the work surfaces, splashback and sink zone were upgraded.
Scope delivered
- Protection, demolition and removal of existing bathroom finishes
- Service alterations, wall linings and certified waterproofing
- Full-height tiling, drainage details, vanities, tapware and sanitary fixtures
- Kitchen benchtops, tiled splashback and sink-area renewal
- Electrical fit-off, ventilation, painting and final completion
Before & after
Each room was rebuilt around the way the home is used.

Upper floor
Ensuite
The narrow ensuite was given a brighter, more cohesive finish with full-height tiling, a double vanity, coordinated mirrors and lighting, updated fixtures and a rebuilt shower area.
Ground floor
Downstairs powder room
The compact room was taken back to its structure and rebuilt with full-height neutral tiling, a back-to-wall toilet, practical vanity storage, new lighting and a cleaner, easier-to-maintain finish.
Ground floor
Kitchen
The serviceable cabinet layout was retained while the room was refreshed with new stone-look work surfaces, a tiled splashback, updated sink-area detailing and carefully finished junctions around the existing windows, cabinetry and appliances.
Behind the finishes
Waterproofing was documented before it was concealed.
The wet areas were opened up, rebuilt and photographed through the waterproofing stage. These records show the work behind the completed tiling and fixtures.
Main bathroom
Waterproofing around the bath, shower base, floor wastes and wall junctions before tiling.
Ensuite
Continuous membrane installation across the shower base and surrounding wet-area floor.
Downstairs powder room
Floor and perimeter waterproofing recorded before wall linings and finishes were completed.
