Overview

## Why a quality bathroom renovation matters

The bathroom is one of the most scrutinised rooms in any home, whether by the owners living in it daily or buyers and renters assessing a property. A professionally renovated bathroom adds measurable value to your home and — critically — avoids the hidden structural damage that poorly waterproofed bathrooms cause over time.

In Brisbane and the Gold Coast, where humidity is a constant factor, quality waterproofing is not optional. It is the foundation of every bathroom we build.

Materials & finishes

## A coherent, beautiful result

We guide you through every selection to achieve a cohesive look, in any budget.

### Tiling

Large-format porcelain, natural stone, mosaic and handmade terracotta for heritage homes, laid with wet-area adhesives and grout.

### Waterproofing

A mandatory inspection hold point — we do not proceed to tiling until the AS 3740 waterproofing inspection is passed.

### Fixtures & Fittings

Quality vanities, baths, showers and tapware in brushed nickel, matte black and aged brass from premium brands.

### Design & 3D

Concept layouts with fixture, fitting and tile selections — with 3D visualisations for larger projects.
