Bathroom Renovations in Epping
Epping is one of the busiest bathroom-renovation suburbs on the northern line. The housing mix is broad — 1970s brick veneers around Cooper Street, 1990s and 2000s houses on the newer estates further north, and a growing wave of townhouses. Most Epping bathrooms we replace fall into two categories: 1970s originals that never really worked, and 2000s builders' specials that were built cheaply and are already showing failure at the shower base.

Renovating Epping homes
In newer Epping estate homes we frequently find shower bases installed as pre-formed acrylic on top of the slab — where the tile above has failed we strip the whole base and rebuild it as a properly screeded, waterproofed and tiled shower.

Built for how Epping 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 Epping.
Our 2000s Epping house shower leaks. Is a full rebuild really needed?
Almost always yes. Repairs to the visible cracked silicone rarely last — the failure is usually behind the tile at the membrane. We strip, re-screed, re-membrane, and re-tile in one go so it is genuinely fixed.
Can you match a newer Epping estate style?
Yes. Kit-kat feature walls, matte black tapware, integrated stone vanities and round mirrors are all in our regular Epping 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.
