We have the reputation of being the most efficient renovators in Brisbane and a typical renovation takes less than three weeks.

I have to work and won’t be home during the renovation, will this be ok?

We have an excellent reputation and we personally supervise the renovation from start to finish, which means you can have peace of mind knowing your property will be shown the respect it deserves.

Can I purchase my own tiles and bathroom fittings?

Yes, we encourage you to do so. You best know your tastes and budget, and you may have a supplier that you have dealt with before. We can also give you details of our preferred suppliers if required. We will provide you with a ‘shopping list’ covering all the items you will need for your renovation, including dimensions and specifications as required.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost?

There are many factors that affect the cost of your bathroom renovation, but they can be divided into two categories: building costs and fitting/fixture costs. The building cost includes all the trades, labour, building materials etc, the quotation we submit to you covers the building costs. Items such as tiles, accessories and bathroom fittings are the items you select for your project, so you will receive a quote from your preferred suppliers for this component. From our experience, the building costs start from around $15,000 per bathroom/ensuite; and the tiles, fittings and accessories for your project start from around $6,000 per bathroom. The price of the fittings depends on the items you choose, for instance, custom built cabinetry is more expensive than pre-made vanities. The average complete bathroom renovation costs between $20,000.00 to $25,000.00, a combined total of our building costs, fixtures, fittings, and tiles.

I don’t want to renovate my entire bathroom, are you able to help with a partial renovation?
