For a substantial bathroom renovation involving multiple trades, structural work or significant alterations, engaging an appropriately registered builder provides one point of responsibility for coordinating the project and ensuring the work meets relevant building standards. Master Renovations is led by registered builder Nick, who oversees the renovation and coordinates the required trades, waterproofing, construction and compliance from start to finish.

Once construction begins, a complete bathroom renovation will typically take around 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the scope, structural requirements, material selections and complexity of the project.

The renovation process may include demolition, preparation, plumbing and electrical rough-ins, waterproofing, tiling, cabinetry installation and final trade fit-off. More complex architectural or bespoke bathroom renovations may require additional time.

During a complete bathroom renovation, the existing bathroom will generally be unavailable while construction is underway.

If it is the only bathroom in your home, we can discuss suitable options during the planning stage and carefully coordinate the renovation schedule to help minimise disruption throughout the project.

Internal, like-for-like bathroom renovations generally do not require a council planning permit. However, more extensive renovations involving load-bearing walls, new window openings or properties affected by a heritage overlay may require building permits, engineering documentation or additional approvals. This can be particularly relevant when renovating older Melbourne homes and heritage properties in areas such as Carlton, Fitzroy and Hawthorn. As a registered builder, Master Renovations can identify the requirements relevant to your renovation and coordinate the necessary documentation, certifications and compliance as part of the renovation process.

Yes. A complete bathroom renovation provides an opportunity to reconsider the existing layout and, where practical, relocate fixtures such as the toilet, shower, bath or vanity.

The feasibility and cost will depend on factors including the existing plumbing and drainage, floor construction and any structural requirements. We assess these considerations during the planning process to create a layout that is functional, practical and properly constructed.

Our on-time and on-budget guarantee is built around detailed planning before construction begins. We finalise your design, scope of works, material selections, project requirements and scheduling upfront, so key decisions are made and potential issues addressed before work starts on site.

With every stage carefully planned, Master Renovations can coordinate trades, materials and construction around a defined schedule and agreed project cost. This allows us to provide a fixed-price, fixed-timeline contract, giving you certainty around both the cost and completion date of your bathroom renovation.
