Ensuite Renovations in Reservoir

Ensuite renovations across Reservoir. Homes here are typically californian bungalows (1920s–30s), which means ensuites often sit on an external plumbing wall with tight door swings. Our ensuite work focuses on stretching every millimetre — recessed niches, wall-hung vanities and frameless glass — so the finished room feels roomier without moving structural walls.

Built for Reservoir

Local considerations we plan for.

  • Home styles: californian bungalows (1920s–30s) and post-war weatherboards dominate the streetscape — informs substrate choice and layout options.
  • Preferred finishes: local requests skew toward 600×1200 large-format porcelain and honed travertine-look.
  • Site logistics: Timber-floor homes in Reservoir often need a fibre-cement or compressed-sheet substrate installed before waterproofing — factor in a day for that. Off-street parking along the Broadway strip can be tight; we bring a compact truck and set up the site protection to keep footpaths clear.

Frequently asked.

Do you cover our part of Reservoir?

Yes. We service all of Reservoir (3073) and the surrounding suburbs — Preston, Coburg, Thomastown, Lalor. Free on-site measure across the entire area.

Which ensuite renovations style suits Reservoir homes best?

Given the local mix of californian bungalows (1920s–30s) and post-war weatherboards, we most often recommend 600×1200 large-format porcelain, paired with walk-in shower with bath alongside. Every recommendation is confirmed against your specific floor plan during the design session.

Our ensuite is tiny — is it worth renovating?

Almost always yes. A well-designed 3m² ensuite with wall-hung joinery, a frameless screen and a large-format tile can feel bigger than a badly designed 6m² ensuite.

Can you install a twin vanity in a small ensuite?

Often yes — with a 1500–1800mm run, we can fit a twin basin vanity while keeping walking clearance. We confirm with a scale drawing before you sign.
