Custom bathroom and laundry renovations in Woonona

We rebuild bathrooms and laundries in Woonona to suit the room rather than to fit a stock vanity, and where the two rooms sit together we'd usually suggest doing them as one job. One team, one fixed price, and the wet-area trades only come through the house once.

The reason that pairing comes up so often here is the floor plan. A lot of Woonona's post-war homes put the bathroom, the separate toilet and the laundry along the same back wall, sharing plumbing. Renovating them together means one strip-out, one set of rough-in, one waterproofing and tiling stage across both rooms, which is meaningfully less work than booking the same trades back twice a year apart.

The layout change that does the most in these houses is knocking the separate toilet into the bathroom. It was a sensible arrangement when it was drawn and it's a poor use of floor area now, and reclaiming that wall is usually what turns a cramped original bathroom into a room that works, often without moving the plumbing far at all.

Custom matters more in a small room than a large one. When there's no spare floor, a vanity built to the actual dimension, a shower set out to the real wall line and storage taken to the ceiling are the difference between a tight bathroom and a comfortable one.
