Meet Tim.

Tim Johnson · Founder & Licensed Builder

Start with a conversation with Tim about your home, your priorities and the questions you want answered.

“Every renovation is personal. You’re trusting us with your home, and that’s a responsibility we never take lightly.”
Speak with Tim

Know what comes next.

Your scope, selections and site conditions determine the programme. Discuss how long you may be without this bathroom, the sequence of work and the agreed schedule with Tim before construction starts.

  1. 1

    Talk through your ideas

    Start with your existing bathroom, what isn’t working and the look you love. Bring your inspiration photos and questions about budget, layout and timing.

  2. 2

    Understand the scope

    Before construction, understand what is included and what your layout and finishes mean for the cost. Ask about selections, site access and how you’ll manage without this bathroom.

  3. 3

    Build from the inside out

    Strip-out, structural preparation, plumbing and electrical work come before waterproofing and tiling. Each stage needs time, including curing, before the next can begin.

  4. 4

    Finish the details

    Fixtures and final finishes bring the room together. Walk through the finished bathroom and raise any questions about its use and care.

Before you start, ask about:

How long you’ll be without a shower, protection for the rest of your home, clean-up, progress updates and what happens if hidden damage is uncovered. Get these details agreed for your project.

Ask Tim your questions

Make room for your ideas.

Think about how you use the room: storage, lighting, shower access, easy-clean surfaces and the fixtures you love. A considered layout balances the look with everyday practicality.

Bring tile and fixture inspiration to your first conversation. Ask Tim what selection support is included, who supplies the materials and when decisions need to be made.

Understand the cost.

A bathroom’s cost depends on more than its size. Keeping plumbing in place, moving a shower, replacing damaged framing and choosing finishes each affect the scope.

  • Layout: moving plumbing can add work behind walls and under floors.
  • Existing condition: timber rot or leaking pipework may need repair.
  • Finishes: tiles, fittings and custom features shape the final specification.

Ask for a clear breakdown of what is included and how unforeseen work would be handled before committing.

Good preparation and waterproofing protect the bathroom you’ve invested in. The technical details matter; here’s where to explore them.

Preparation and structural repairs
The quality of a bathroom renovation starts well before the tiles and fixtures are installed. From the initial strip-out and structural repairs to plumbing alterations and careful preparation of walls and floors, we ensure every stage is completed properly from the beginning. With clear and detailed pricing, you’ll have a thorough understanding of your bathroom renovation costs and what is included before construction begins.
Waterproofing and drainage
Proper waterproofing and preparation are essential to creating a bathroom that stands the test of time. We carefully coordinate each stage of the wet-area construction process, from floor preparation and drainage falls through to waterproofing and final finishes, ensuring all work is completed in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and building requirements.

Your bathroom questions.

Use these questions to prepare for a conversation about your own room, scope and selections.

What affects the cost of a bathroom renovation?
The existing condition, layout changes, plumbing positions and finishes all affect the work involved. Damaged framing or old services may need attention during strip-out. A quotation should make the proposed scope, selections, allowances and exclusions clear so you understand what is included and how unforeseen work would be handled.
What needs to be considered for a walk-in shower?
A walk-in shower needs its layout, drainage, floor falls and waterproofing considered together. The requirements depend on the design and applicable building standards, rather than one dimension that suits every bathroom. We coordinate the preparation and trade sequence so those details are addressed before tiling and final fixtures.
How long will I be without my bathroom?
The time depends on the work involved and the sequence of demolition, structural preparation, services, waterproofing, tiling and fit-off. Some materials and systems need curing time before the next stage. Discuss your household arrangements and any other bathroom available during the planning stage so the project programme can account for everyday needs.
