Bathroom Renovations in Strathmore
Strathmore has a strong stock of 1920s and 1930s bungalows alongside solid interwar and 1950s homes on generous blocks. Bathroom renovations here often run larger budgets than surrounding suburbs — owners are willing to invest in a full ensuite plus main bathroom rebuild at the same time, and the homes have the room to accommodate it.

Built for Strathmore homes.
Strathmore's period homes often have suspended timber floors with limited crawlspace access — we assess subfloor ventilation and joist condition at quote stage so termite or moisture damage is not discovered after demolition.

Bathrooms we've completed nearby.
Twelve stages. Same order, every job.
Every Strathmore 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 Strathmore homes actually live.
Every material we specify for a Strathmore 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 Strathmore.
Can you do the main bathroom and ensuite in the same trip?
Yes and it is usually cheaper per room. We stage the works so one bathroom remains usable while the other is offline; total site time is typically five to six weeks.
Can we use natural stone tiles?
Yes — we regularly install natural travertine, marble and limestone. We are honest about the maintenance implications (sealing, honing versus polished, staining risk) at design stage.
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.
