Bathroom Renovations in Craigieburn
Craigieburn is one of Australia's fastest-growing residential corridors and one of our busiest bathroom-renovation postcodes. Most Craigieburn homes are volume-built family houses from the last twenty years — Highlands, Aston, Mount Ridley. Renovations here are almost always driven by failed builder-grade showers, dated tapware, and a design lift for owners who did not pick the finishes originally.

Built for how Craigieburn homes actually live.
Every material we specify has to earn its place three ways: it has to look right in the home, hold up under Melbourne water conditions, and still be maintainable ten years from now — not just at handover.
- Tiles
P3/P4-rated porcelain on floors and shower zones (slip-safe when wet). Natural stone reserved for feature walls to avoid ongoing sealing.
- Grout
Waterproof epoxy grout in wet zones — no cracking, no mould regrowth and no re-grouting.
- Tapware
WELS-rated tapware. Brushed brass and gunmetal finishes are PVD-coated (not electroplated) to survive Melbourne water hardness.
- Joinery
Moisture-resistant board substrate on every vanity carcass — not standard MDF, which swells in a wet-area cabinet within four years.
Everything under one contract
Frequently asked in Craigieburn.
Our Craigieburn ensuite already leaked once — can you actually fix it?
Yes. The reason repeat leaks happen is that repairs to visible silicone rarely last — the failure is behind the tile. We rebuild the shower entirely from the substrate up, with fresh two-coat membrane, correct falls, and reinforced internal corners.
Can you match the modern estate style?
Yes — warm stone-look tiles, matte black tapware, semi-frameless screens and stone-top vanities are our regular Craigieburn palette.
Do you provide fixed pricing?
Yes. Every quote we issue is fixed in writing before demolition begins, including tiles, tapware, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical and rubbish removal. There are no hourly surprises.
Are your trades licensed and insured?
All plumbing is completed by a licensed Victorian plumber who issues a Certificate of Compliance. All electrical work is completed by an A-Grade electrician who issues an Electrical Safety Certificate. We carry $20M public liability insurance.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A standard main bathroom takes three to four weeks on site once demolition starts. Ensuites usually run two and a half to three weeks. Timelines are written into the contract with a start and finish date.
Reading that pays for itself.
