Bathroom Renovations in Mernda
Mernda is one of Melbourne's newest growth suburbs — most housing dates from the last fifteen years. Bathroom renovations here are less about age and more about builder-grade finishes that have not held up: cheap acrylic bases, low-quality tapware, and shower waterproofing that has already started to fail behind the tile.

- $20M public liability insurance
- Photographic waterproofing sign-off
Built for Mernda homes.
In newer Mernda homes we routinely find shower bases installed as pre-formed acrylic under the tile — a permanent fix means rebuilding as a proper screeded, membrane-lined shower base.

Bathrooms we've completed nearby.
Twelve stages. Same order, every job.
Every Mernda 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 Mernda homes actually live.
Every material we specify for a Mernda 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 Mernda.
Our Mernda ensuite is only 10 years old — why does it need a full rebuild?
Builder-grade waterproofing on volume-build homes often relies on silicone at critical junctions. Once that silicone fails, water gets behind the tile and only a full strip and rebuild guarantees the fix.
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.
