How to Plan a Stress-Free Bathroom Renovation

Bathrooms are among the most rewarding rooms to renovate – and among the trickiest, because so much happens behind the walls. Getting the sequence right is the secret to a smooth project.

Start with a realistic budget that includes a contingency for the unexpected. Older homes in particular can hide surprises once tiling and panels come off, so a sensible buffer keeps stress to a minimum.

Decide on your layout early. Moving soil pipes and drainage is possible but costly, so where practical we design around existing services to keep your investment in the finishes you'll actually see.

Finally, invest in proper waterproofing. Tanking wet areas correctly is the single most important step for a bathroom that stays pristine for years to come.
