This Piara Waters bathroom renovation represents a complete transformation of an outdated bathroom space into a modern, functional bathroom that combines style with practicality. The project, completed over 6 weeks, demonstrates how careful planning, accurate cost estimation, and skilled execution can dramatically improve both the functionality and value of a home.
The homeowners came to us with a vision for a modern bathroom that would serve as a practical and stylish retreat. The design was carefully planned with a focus on bathroom functionality, featuring cabinet and mirror installation, white and grey tiling, nib wall construction, and shower screen installation. Through our detailed estimate process, we identified the scope of work needed: cabinetry and mirror installation, comprehensive tiling work with white and grey tiles, nib wall construction, and shower screen installation. The estimated cost range of $25K–$32K reflects labour costs only. Fixtures, tiles, and materials are not included in this estimate.
What makes this project particularly noteworthy is the attention to detail at every stage, from the precision cabinetry and mirror installation, to the professional tiling work with white and grey tiles that creates visual interest, to the nib wall construction and shower screen installation that defines the shower area. Each phase was executed with professional expertise, bringing together a cohesive modern design. We'll walk you through each stage of the process, showing you exactly what happened, when it happened, and how the costs were allocated.
Waterproofing
1–2 days
The waterproofing stage is crucial for preventing water damage and ensuring long-term durability. The renovator applied a comprehensive waterproofing membrane to all wet areas, including the shower area, around the bath, and any areas exposed to water. The waterproofing was applied with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring complete coverage and proper sealing around all penetrations and corners. This critical step protects the underlying structure from moisture, preventing mold, rot, and structural damage. The waterproofing membrane was allowed to cure properly before proceeding to the next stage, ensuring maximum effectiveness and compliance with building standards.
Tiling
5–7 days
The tiling stage transformed the bathroom with a combination of white and grey tiles that create a modern, sophisticated aesthetic. The renovator installed tiles with meticulous attention to spacing, alignment, and leveling. The white and grey tiles were carefully positioned to create visual interest while maintaining a cohesive design. Each tile was carefully positioned using proper tile adhesive, ensuring consistent grout lines and perfect alignment around corners and fixtures. The professional tiling work created a stunning, seamless finish that serves as both a functional surface and a design feature. After installation, the renovator grouted the joints and sealed all edges to ensure durability and easy maintenance.
Cabinetry & Mirror
2–3 days
The cabinetry and mirror installation transformed the bathroom with custom cabinets and a modern mirror. The renovator installed the bathroom cabinet with precision, ensuring proper leveling and secure attachment to walls. The cabinet provides practical storage solutions while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. The mirror was installed to complement the cabinet design, creating a cohesive and functional bathroom layout. The installation process included careful measurement and planning to optimize the bathroom's workflow and storage capacity. Both the cabinet and mirror were positioned to maximize functionality while enhancing the overall design aesthetic.
Nib Wall & Shower Screen
2–3 days
The nib wall installation and shower screen fitting completed the shower area. The nib wall was constructed with precision, providing both functional separation and aesthetic appeal. The shower screen was then installed to prevent water splash and create a modern, cohesive aesthetic. The installation process included careful measurement and planning to ensure proper fit and functionality. The nib wall and shower screen work together to create a well-defined shower area that enhances both the functionality and visual appeal of the bathroom.
