SCHEDULE 01 — COMPLETE RENOVATION

Complete bathroom renovations in Oakleigh, from bare walls to the final tap

A complete renovation replaces everything in the room: fixtures, linings, waterproofing, tiles, vanity, tapware and screen. Because nothing is kept, every decision is open, and the order in which those decisions are made shapes the result. We plan the whole bathroom in writing before strip-out begins, for homes across Oakleigh, Hughesdale, Carnegie, Clayton and nearby suburbs.

Large luxurious bathroom featuring patterned wall tiles, twin dark vanities, a spa bathtub, glass shower and warm geometric pendant lighting.

Not sure the whole room needs replacing? A shower renovation or vanity installation may cover the brief.

How the work is sequenced

Eight stages, each one depending on the last. Read the full renovation process.

01

Consultation

We look at the existing room, how it is used and what has to change.

02

Design & layout

Fixture positions and finishes are settled on paper through bathroom design.

03

Written quote

The agreed schedule becomes an itemised scope you can check line by line.

04

Strip-out

The old room is removed and hidden conditions behind the tiles are assessed.

05

Waterproofing

Membrane goes on before a single tile. See bathroom waterproofing.

06

Tiling

Set-out, falls and grout lines follow the plan. See bathroom tiling.

07 / 08

Fit-off & handover

Vanity, tapware and screen are installed, then the finished room is walked through with you.

FINISHES SCHEDULE

Material options, chosen in order

Selections interact. Tile size affects falls, vanity depth affects circulation, and tapware sets the metal finish for everything else. We settle them together rather than one shop visit at a time.

Tiles

Large-format porcelain for fewer grout lines, smaller mosaics where a floor needs tighter falls, and stone-look or patterned feature walls. Our guide to choosing bathroom tiles compares formats and grout.

Vanities

Wall-hung units keep the floor visible and easy to clean; floor-standing joinery adds drawer storage. Timber, painted and stone tops each suit different basins.

Tapware

Chrome, brushed nickel, matte black or brass, with wall-mounted or benchtop mixers decided before the walls are closed.

Shower screens

Frameless panels, framed enclosures or a single fixed screen for a walk-in shower.

Complete renovation questions

Can the layout change in a complete renovation?

Usually, yes. Moving the shower, toilet or vanity means relocating plumbing and drainage, which affects scope, so we weigh each change against what it gains during design.

Why does waterproofing come before tiling?

The membrane is what keeps water out of the structure; tiles and grout are not waterproof. Once tiled over, it cannot be inspected, so it is completed and allowed to cure first.

How long does a complete renovation take?

It depends on room size, layout changes, curing times and when selections arrive. Bathroom renovation timelines explains how the stages fit together.

What affects the cost?

Floor area, plumbing moves, tile format and the level of fixtures chosen. Read what drives bathroom renovation cost, or see the full FAQ.
