What Our Clients Say
5.0 out of 5 stars, based on 25 reviews
Powder room & laundry into a small bathroom
“We are delighted with our new bathroom. Tony made the entire process very easy for us, which is what you want when renovating. Nothing was too much trouble and he was very patient with all our questions and provided great advice on the design and installation. The workmanship was of high quality and the quote was highly competitive. Highly recommend Tony and his team!”
Bathroom renovations: stressless and wonderful
“Thank you, Tony and your team, for a stressless and wonderful bathroom renovation. Our 4-year-old townhouse bathroom and ensuite showers had serious leakage issues, with water leaking into the walls and between floors. The builder was happy to silicone the problem as a solution. The only options were to replace the showers, or a full renovation for both rooms. We chose the latter. Tony provided a competitive quote. Despite the inevitable out-of-square bathroom issues, the job was completed without stress, on-time and in budget, and the finish was fabulous. And square. We are now looking at a kitchen update. Tony, find some time. Highly recommend Tony and the team.”
Wow! Now that's a bathroom
“In such difficult times we were so grateful that we picked Tony and his crew to renovate our bathroom. His knowledge of the industry and his attention to detail is second to none. Tony was always easy to contact and happy to discuss any issues. The standard of workmanship was outstanding. We love our new bathroom!”
Renovating Bathrooms in Diamond Creek Homes
Diamond Creek grew steadily through the 1970s, and many of its family homes from that era and the 1980s have one main bathroom and a small ensuite, often with original tiles, timber vanities and shower screens that have reached the end of their life. Some mud brick and timber homes have character bathrooms with exposed materials, and units near the town centre usually have a single compact bathroom.
Common Diamond Creek bathroom projects include rebuilding dated bathrooms and ensuites with modern waterproofing, replacing showers over baths with walk-in showers, choosing finishes that suit timber and mud brick homes, and improving ventilation and heating for cool mornings. Most bathroom work doesn’t need a planning permit from Nillumbik Shire Council, and plumbing, electrical and waterproofing are all carried out by licensed trades.

Before You Start
What to Plan For in a Diamond Creek Bathroom
Layout
Shower Over Bath Conversions
The typical 1970s Diamond Creek family bathroom has a bath with a shower over it, a separate toilet and a small vanity. Swapping the bath for a walk-in shower, or combining the toilet and bathroom, is a common change. Families with young children often keep a bath, so we draw both layouts and check where the floor waste can go.
Heating
Warm Bathrooms for Cold Mornings
Winter mornings in Diamond Creek’s hills and valleys can be properly cold. Floor heating under tiles, a heated towel rail, a heat lamp or ceiling heater and insulation in the external walls and ceiling make a real difference. These need their own circuits, which our licensed electricians plan with the switchboard in mind.
Design
Ensuites in 1980s Homes
Ensuites in Diamond Creek homes from the 1980s are often just a shower, toilet and basin squeezed beside the main bedroom. Borrowing space from a walk-in robe or reshaping the room can fit a wider shower and a double vanity. We check the wall framing and how the plumbing reaches the room before suggesting changes.
Ventilation
Ventilation and Mould
Bathrooms in brick veneer and timber Diamond Creek homes often have only a window or a ceiling fan that vents into the roof space. That leaves moisture behind and can lead to mould on ceilings. A properly sized exhaust fan ducted outside, on a run-on timer, is one of the simplest and most useful upgrades.
Asbestos
Asbestos in Older Homes
Diamond Creek homes built or updated before 1990 can contain asbestos cement sheeting in bathroom walls, eaves or under floor coverings. We identify suspect material before demolition, and larger amounts must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist. Allowing for it in the written quote avoids surprises once tiles come off.

Will I need a permit to renovate a bathroom in Diamond Creek?
Usually not, if you are replacing a bathroom inside the existing house. A new window, skylight or extension may need permits, and in Diamond Creek bushfire or landscape overlays can apply to external changes. We check your property’s overlays with Nillumbik Shire Council before work starts.
Can we turn the bath into a walk-in shower in our Diamond Creek home?
Usually, yes. Removing the bath frees space for a larger shower, and in many 1970s Diamond Creek homes the plumbing sits under a timber floor where the waste can be adjusted. We check the floor structure and drainage at the first visit. If it is the only bathroom, you may want to keep a bath for children.
How long does a bathroom renovation take in Diamond Creek?
Expect 2 to 4 weeks for most bathroom jobs. If it is the only bathroom in the house, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as little time as possible, and we tell you in advance. Rotten floor framing or old pipes can add a few days, and we let you know as soon as we find them.
What should we do with the bathroom before selling or leasing in Diamond Creek?
Many Diamond Creek homes still have their original 1970s or 1980s bathroom, so buyers and tenants expect some age, but they do notice leaks, mould and loose tiles. Fixing these, regrouting, replacing a tired vanity and tapware and adding a ducted exhaust fan are sensible first steps. A full renovation can wait if the room is sound and dry.
