Key Reasons Our Full Renovation Service Excels:

• Streamlined In-House Process: Our use of a dedicated in-house team for all critical trades (plumbing, electrics, waterproofing) means zero time wasted waiting for subcontractors, enabling our On-Time Guarantee.
• Guaranteed Waterproofing: Waterproofing is certified and explicitly included under our 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee, eliminating the single biggest risk in any full bathroom project.
• Local Expertise in Complexity: We are experts in dealing with the complex logistics of full renovations in older Mosman homes, high-rise Chatswood units, and family homes in Lane Cove, ensuring local compliance is always met.
• Comprehensive Warranty Coverage: We manage and coordinate the full product warranties from your chosen fixtures alongside our own 7-Year Workmanship coverage, simplifying long-term care.

Total Strip-Out and Structural Rebuild

The core of our full renovation service. This involves completely clearing the space, identifying any structural issues (e.g., rot, outdated drainage), and rebuilding the foundation to modern Australian Standards, including new subfloors and a complete plumbing rough-in.

Certified Waterproofing and Tiling Foundation

This crucial phase involves preparing the entire shell for finishes. Our licensed specialists install the certified, high-grade waterproofing membrane—the component backed explicitly by our 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee—followed by a precision screed to ensure correct fall to the drain.

Full Luxury Fit-Out and Final Commissioning

After the structural work, we handle the flawless installation of all new items: custom vanities, shower screens, tapware, lighting, and ventilation. Our final commissioning ensures all new plumbing and electrical systems are operating perfectly before handover.

Our successful completion of over 75+ satisfied local projects underscores our reliability in delivering full, complex renovations. Our 5-STAR REVIEWS often highlight our commitment to both quality and the guaranteed timeline.

Our full renovation process is a seven-step methodology designed for maximum accountability and adherence to the 4–6 week guarantee.

1. Initial Assessment and Fixed Quote: We assess the existing structure, discuss your desired layout (including any wall moves or fixture changes), and provide a detailed, fixed-price quote with a guaranteed 4–6 week completion timeline.

2. Detailed Planning and Materials Lock-In: We finalise the architectural and services plans. All materials, including long-lead items like custom vanities or tiles, are ordered and secured to prevent delays, maintaining the On-Time Guarantee.

3. Strip-Out and Structural Rough-In: The old bathroom is completely removed. Our in-house team performs all new rough-in work for plumbing (water and waste) and electrical services (lighting, heating, power points).

4. Certified Waterproofing and Screeding: Licensed specialists install the full, certified waterproofing system. We ensure the floor screed is laid to the correct fall, preparing the perfect foundation for tiling, and protecting your home.

5. Precision Tiling and Grouts: Our master tilers install all floor and wall finishes with minimal grout lines and perfect alignment. All grouts and seals are allowed to cure correctly before proceeding.

6. Final Fit-Out and Systems Check: All major fixtures (vanity, toilet, shower screen) are installed. Our in-house electrician connects all lighting and ventilation. A full pressure and water flow check is performed on the new plumbing system.



7. Quality Audit and Handover: Our project manager conducts a final, rigorous quality assurance check. The site is professionally cleaned, and your formal 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee is issued with the final invoice.

A full renovation is a total overhaul, and its quality must be secured against failure. Our guarantees protect you against the two biggest risks: structural integrity and timeline blowouts.

The 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee: This warranty applies directly to the quality of the structural rebuild. It covers the foundation of the renovation—specifically, the certified waterproofing, the integrity of the wall and floor sheeting, and the installation of all fixtures. This explicit guarantee removes the long-term risk of a full strip-out.

The On-Time Guarantee (4-6 Weeks): For a total overhaul, a fixed timeline is essential. We guarantee to complete the full scope of work within 4 to 6 weeks. This guarantee is financially and logistically feasible because we maintain full control over all critical stages via our dedicated, in-house team.



Fully Licensed and Insured for Full Rebuilds: As a licensed and HBCF-insured business with over 40 years of combined family experience, we provide the highest level of regulatory and financial protection for the comprehensive nature of a full bathroom rebuild.

The decision to commit to a full bathroom renovation in the Lower North Shore is usually driven by the need to address structural decay, radically change the layout, or significantly enhance property value in a high-end market. The age and nature of properties in suburbs like Mosman, Neutral Bay, and Chatswood often dictate that a simple surface facelift is insufficient.

Our 40+ years of family experience in this region mean we are expert problem-solvers for full renovations. We are highly familiar with the older pipework systems found in Federation homes, the structural constraints of Art Deco units, and the complex drainage needs of elevated properties. We treat the full strip-out as the most critical opportunity to install modern, durable materials that will last for decades.

This structural focus includes updating the wall sheeting to moisture-resistant material, replacing outdated subflooring, and ensuring all services are run with future accessibility in mind. Our dedication to using only an in-house team for the full renovation process—from the critical waterproofing stage to the final intricate tiling—is the only way we can deliver the necessary quality control. The consistency and accountability provided by our single, dedicated team allow us to execute the project with precision.



This commitment to end-to-end quality and accountability allows us to confidently provide the 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee on the entire structural renovation. We have successfully completed over 75+ satisfied local projects, proving that our comprehensive approach to the full bathroom renovation process delivers guaranteed quality and peace of mind for Lower North Shore homeowners.

In a full bathroom renovation, the foundation work—the unseen structure—is where quality truly lies. We strictly adhere to technical standards to ensure compliance and longevity.

Subfloor and Wall Lining: After the strip-out, we install fibre-cement sheeting for both the walls and the floor. This material is highly moisture-resistant and provides a stable, rigid base for tiling. Critically, we use the correct fastening schedule to prevent movement that could cause tiles to crack or the waterproofing to fail.

Integrated Waste and Drainage: A full renovation allows us to correctly integrate the floor waste (drain) with the structural floor, ensuring it sits perfectly flush with the finished tile height and has the proper flange integration with the waterproofing membrane. This prevents water pooling and protects the subfloor.

Plumbing Rough-In Precision: Our in-house licensed plumbers ensure all water stops and mixer tap connections are fully accessible and positioned at the correct height and depth relative to the future tile thickness. Misplaced plumbing during the rough-in is a common error that our integrated team avoids through meticulous pre-tiling measurements.



By focusing on these structural and technical details during the rebuild phase, we ensure that the entire new structure is sound, compliant, and covered by our definitive 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee.

Don't settle for surface changes. Choose the local experts with 40+ years of family experience, proven structural expertise, and a guaranteed 4–6 week completion time.
