What a Full Bathroom Renovation in Corrimal Involves

Completed full bathroom renovation in Corrimal with timber vanity and floor-to-ceiling tiling

Corrimal is one of the northern Wollongong suburbs we work in most, and its mix of post-war brick and weatherboard homes means we see a lot of original bathrooms that are well past their best. Here's a look at what a typical full bathroom renovation in Corrimal involves, so you know what to expect if you're thinking about one.

The starting point

Most of the Corrimal bathrooms we renovate are the home's original — small, dated, and often with tired waterproofing and old plumbing hiding behind the walls. The homeowners usually want the same thing: a clean, modern, low-maintenance bathroom that makes the most of the space and will last for years.

What we often find at demolition

Once the old bathroom comes out, it's common in older Corrimal homes to find waterproofing that no longer does its job, water-damaged framing, or plumbing that needs updating. This is exactly why we strip back to the frame and check — fixing these properly now is what protects your home for the long term.

The new bathroom

  • Fresh waterproofing to the required Australian Standards — the part you never see, but the part that matters most.
  • Large-format, light tiles to make a compact space feel bigger and easier to clean.
  • A frameless shower screen and a wall-hung vanity to open the room up.
  • New plumbing, tapware, toilet and lighting, all coordinated by one team.

How long it takes

A full bathroom renovation in Corrimal usually takes around three to four weeks from demolition to completion. Because we manage every trade in-house, you deal with one point of contact the whole way through, and the job runs to a clear schedule.
