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 South Morang Homes
Most South Morang homes have a main bathroom, an ensuite and a separate toilet, but the original finishes are often basic, with small tiles, framed showers and limited storage. Homes from the 1990s may have corner spas and dated vanities, and ensuites in many estate homes are tight for two people getting ready at once.
Common South Morang bathroom projects include upgrading builder-grade bathrooms with better tiles, fixtures and storage, enlarging ensuites with walk-in showers and double vanities, replacing corner spas with freestanding baths or larger showers, and improving ventilation and lighting so the rooms stay dry and bright. Most bathroom work doesn’t need a planning permit from the City of Whittlesea, and we provide plumbing and waterproofing certificates.

Before You Start
Before You Renovate a Bathroom in South Morang
Waterproofing
Wet Areas Reaching Twenty-Five Years
South Morang’s first estates spread north from the early 1990s, so many original bathrooms are now 25 to 30 years old. Shower bases, silicone and the waterproofing membrane under the tiles wear out with age. Signs include loose tiles, swollen vanity bases and stained skirting outside the shower. Once these appear, a full strip-out is usually needed.
Layout
Making a Tight Ensuite Work
Estate ensuites in South Morang were often squeezed beside a walk-in robe. Borrowing part of the robe, swapping a hinged shower door for a fixed panel, or moving to a wall-hung vanity can make the room easier for two people. We check what can move on the slab before drawing a plan.
Ventilation
Windowless Bathrooms and Mould
Many double-storey South Morang homes have a central bathroom or powder room with no window and a small ceiling fan vented into the roof. Steam lingers and mould forms on ceilings and grout. A stronger fan ducted outside, on a timer or humidity sensor, fixes the cause rather than the symptom.
Planning
A Bath for Young Families
Many South Morang households still have young children, so removing the only bath is worth thinking about. A common approach is a walk-in shower in the ensuite and a built-in or freestanding bath in the main bathroom. We plan both rooms together so each suits a different stage of family life.
Apartments
Townhouses Near the Station
Townhouses near South Morang station, which opened in 2012, and along the Mernda line often have bathrooms stacked above one another with shared walls. Where an owners corporation is involved, we arrange approvals, work hours and access, and take care that waterproofing protects the rooms below.

Bathroom Renovations MelbourneDo I need a permit to renovate a bathroom in South Morang?
For work inside an existing bathroom, usually not. The City of Whittlesea generally does not require a planning permit for an internal bathroom renovation. Townhouses may need owners corporation approval. Our licensed plumbers and electricians provide a plumbing compliance certificate and a Certificate of Electrical Safety when the work is done.
Can you renovate the ensuite and main bathroom at the same time?
Yes, though most South Morang families prefer to do one at a time so there is always a working shower. Each bathroom usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. Doing both in sequence with the same trades keeps the finishes consistent and avoids a second round of setup.
Our shower leaks into the room below. What is involved in fixing it?
In a double-storey South Morang home, a leak from an upstairs shower usually means the waterproofing has failed under the tiles. Patching grout rarely lasts. The fix is to strip the shower, check the floor for damage, apply a new membrane to the Australian Standard, retile and then repair the ceiling downstairs.
Should I renovate a South Morang bathroom before selling or leasing?
Many South Morang homes still have their 1990s or early 2000s bathrooms, and buyers or tenants will notice leaks, mould and loose tiles more than an older style. Fixing those faults first is the priority. If the shower is leaking or the room is worn throughout, a full renovation may be easier than repeated repairs.
