Renovation · bathrooms & flooring

Two wet areas and new flooring, renewed as one coordinated project.

A practical Erina renovation combining the main bathroom and ensuite rebuilds with preparation and installation of new sheet vinyl flooring throughout the home.

Location
Erina, NSW
Scope
Bathroom + ensuite + floors
Home
Single storey

Wet-area renewal and flooring coordinated across one occupied home.

The work brought together two detailed bathroom renovations and a broader flooring upgrade. Coordinating the scopes allowed the floor preparation, wet-area thresholds, skirtings and final finishes to be resolved as one continuous project.

Both bathrooms were stripped back so the existing substrates and service locations could be checked. The rooms were then rebuilt with new wall linings, waterproofing, tiling, shower enclosures, vanities, toilets and fittings. Carpet was removed elsewhere in the home before the concrete was patched and new sheet vinyl flooring and skirtings were installed.

  • Strip-out and preparation of the main bathroom and ensuite
  • Wet-area wall linings and waterproofing to AS 3740 and NCC requirements
  • Floor, wall and skirting tiles with new shower enclosures and fixtures
  • Carpet removal and concrete floor repairs
  • Sheet vinyl flooring and new skirtings throughout the home

Main bathroom

The main bathroom was opened up around the retained bath and shower positions, allowing the substrate, wall linings and service points to be prepared before waterproofing and tiling. The completed room uses a restrained neutral palette, a rebuilt shower, renewed bath surround and contemporary fixtures.

Ensuite

The compact ensuite was rebuilt around a fully framed sliding shower, new vanity, toilet, shower rail and mixer. Large-format light wall tiles and warm grey floor tiles make the small room feel cleaner and more cohesive while keeping it practical to maintain.

Sheet vinyl flooring

After the existing carpet was removed, the concrete floor was patched and levelled where required. The new timber-look sheet vinyl creates a continuous, easy-care surface through bedrooms and living areas, with junctions and skirtings completed around the retained tiled zones.
