Bathroom Renovations in Glenroy
Glenroy homes were built to house post-war families and the bathrooms show it — small, functional, and designed for a bath. Fifty years on, most owners want a shower-led design with a proper vanity and storage. Because Glenroy homes are typically solid double-brick on concrete slabs, they take structural changes well and are ideal candidates for reconfiguring the WC into the main bathroom.

Built for Glenroy homes.
Glenroy is on a well-established sewer network so most renovations do not need any council approval for internal plumbing changes. External vent penetrations do — we handle those before quoting.

Twelve stages. Same order, every job.
Every Glenroy bathroom runs the same twelve-stage build: site protection, demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in, wall and floor preparation, screeding, waterproofing, tiling, vanity and cabinet fit-off, shower screen, detailed clean and final handover.
Everything under one contract
Built for how Glenroy homes actually live.
Every material we specify for a Glenroy bathroom has to earn its place three ways: it has to look right in the home, it has to hold up under Melbourne water conditions, and it has to 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, no re-grouting inside the warranty period.
- Tapware
WELS-rated tapware with 15-year manufacturer warranty. 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.
Frequently asked in Glenroy.
Is our 1960s Glenroy slab strong enough to core-drill for a new floor waste?
Almost always yes. Standard residential slabs of that era are 100mm minimum. We confirm on site with a small test core before finalising the plumbing route.
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.
