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 Mill Park Homes
Most Mill Park homes have a main bathroom, a separate toilet and an ensuite, all from the 1980s or 90s, with original tiles, shower screens and vanities. Concrete slabs mean the layout is fixed by drainage, and ageing shower bases and grout often start to leak. Families often want a more practical ensuite.
That shapes most of our Mill Park bathroom renovations: full strip-outs with new waterproofing, enlarging a cramped ensuite, swapping a corner spa for a walk-in shower, and adding storage and better lighting. We also replace old exhaust fans with ducted units. City of Whittlesea rarely needs to approve an internal bathroom renovation in Mill Park, so the focus is on licensed plumbers and electricians, certified waterproofing and, in units, your owners corporation.

Before You Start
Before You Renovate a Bathroom in Mill Park
Design
Corner Spas and Shower Cubicles
Mill Park grew fastest from the 1980s into the early 1990s, and bathrooms from that time often have a corner spa bath, a small framed shower cubicle and a vanity with a laminate top. Replacing the spa with a large walk-in shower, or a freestanding bath beside one, is the change we are asked about most.
Planning
Three Wet Areas in Double-Storey Homes
Many 1990s Mill Park homes have a main bathroom, an ensuite and a downstairs powder room. Doing all three together keeps tiles and fittings consistent and saves on set-up time. Our Mill Park Bathroom Renovation project renovated a bathroom, ensuite and powder room in one job.
Plumbing
Slab Floors and Fixed Drainage
Most Mill Park homes from the 1980s and 90s are brick veneer on a concrete slab. The toilet and floor waste are cast into the slab, so keeping them roughly in place is the most cost-effective approach. Where moving them is worth it, we cut and re-pour the slab and waterproof the new floor.
Asbestos
Asbestos in 1970s and 80s Homes
Mill Park homes built before 1990 may have asbestos cement sheeting behind tiles, in ceilings or in eaves. Anything suspicious is tested before demolition, and larger quantities must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist. We include this in the quote so the price does not change once work starts.
Ventilation
Old Exhaust Fans and Mould
Many original Mill Park bathrooms have a small fan that vents into the roof space, or none at all, so mould builds up on ceilings and grout. We fit an exhaust fan ducted to the outside and, where there is a window, make sure it opens easily.

Do I need a permit to renovate a bathroom in Mill Park?
Usually not. Internal bathroom work generally needs no planning permit from the City of Whittlesea, and a building permit is only needed if the work changes the structure. Our licensed plumbers and electricians provide a plumbing compliance certificate and a Certificate of Electrical Safety at the end of the job.
Can you show me a Mill Park bathroom you have renovated?
Yes. Our Mill Park Bathroom Renovation covered a bathroom, ensuite and powder room, with marble-look wall tiles over a dark tiled floor, a freestanding bath, a double vanity and a wall-to-wall ensuite shower with three shower heads. The photos are on the project page.
Is it worth keeping the corner spa?
That depends on how often you use it. Many Mill Park owners find the spa is rarely used, takes up a lot of floor space and is hard to clean. Swapping it for a larger shower, or a smaller freestanding bath, usually makes the room feel bigger and more practical.
How long does a Mill Park bathroom renovation take?
Expect most bathrooms to take 2 to 4 weeks. If we are renovating the main bathroom, ensuite and powder room together, we stage the work so at least one toilet and shower stay usable while you live at home. Single-bathroom units are planned so the toilet is out of action for the shortest possible time.
Should I renovate the bathroom before I sell or rent out my Mill Park home?
Many Mill Park homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s still have a corner spa bath, a framed shower screen and a bulkhead over the vanity. Buyers and tenants notice these, but they care most that the room is watertight and easy to clean. Replacing a leaking shower base, failing silicone and a worn vanity is often enough. Victoria’s rental minimum standards require a washbasin, a shower or bath, and hot and cold water.
