Your local Thirroul bathroom renovator
Many Thirroul homes are older weatherboard and brick cottages that need careful work — particularly around waterproofing and water-damaged framing that's common in period properties near the coast. We treat each one on its merits and never cut corners where it counts.
Every renovation is owner-managed by Harley Newton, with 20 years in the trade. We’re fully licensed (Lic 376653C) and insured, and we manage every part of the job — so you deal with one team from start to finish.

Renovating Thirroul's character cottages
Thirroul is one of the Illawarra's most sought-after villages, and its housing reflects that — Californian bungalows, weatherboard cottages and federation-era homes sit alongside newer renovations, many just a short walk from the beach and the village shops. Bathrooms in these older homes are often the last untouched room, with narrow layouts, old cast-iron plumbing and timber-framed walls that need careful handling.
Because Thirroul sits right on the coast, salt air takes a toll on anything not properly protected. We pay close attention to waterproofing and ventilation in every Thirroul renovation, so the new bathroom holds up to the coastal climate rather than fighting it.
Balancing character with a modern bathroom
Many Thirroul homeowners want a bathroom that feels modern and functional without clashing with the character of the rest of the house. We're happy to work with a heritage-sympathetic palette — subway tiles, timber vanities, black tapware — or go fully contemporary, depending on what suits your home.
Whether it's a weekender, a family home or an investment property near the station, we manage the whole renovation — demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling and fit-off — so you deal with one team from quote to completion.
Bathroom renovations in Thirroul — your questions answered
- Do you renovate older character homes in Thirroul?
- Yes — a lot of our Thirroul work is in weatherboard cottages and federation-era homes. We're experienced with the waterproofing and structural care these older properties need, and happy to work with a heritage-sympathetic look or a fully modern one.
- How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Thirroul?
- It depends on the size and scope of the job, as it does anywhere. See our bathroom renovation cost guide for typical ranges, or get in touch for a free, no-obligation on-site quote.
- Do you deal with waterproofing issues from old coastal homes?
- Yes. Salt air and age mean a lot of older Thirroul bathrooms have tired or failed waterproofing. We always strip back to check and fully rewaterproof to the required Australian Standards.
- Which other northern suburbs do you cover?
- Right along the northern Illawarra — Bulli, Woonona, Corrimal, Fairy Meadow and Austinmer, as well as Thirroul itself.
