Updating a Tired Layout
Many homes in Smiths Lake have older bathrooms that weren’t built with current-day use in mind. We often see cramped layouts, limited storage and poor lighting—things that can be easily resolved with the right approach. We start by reviewing how you currently use the space, then look at what can be rearranged or upgraded without blowing out the budget.
That might mean moving the vanity to free up walking room, replacing bulky baths with walk-in showers, or adjusting plumbing points to suit new fittings. We also help select finishes that are easy to maintain and well-suited to the coastal environment. Through practical design and clean execution, we turn underperforming bathrooms into efficient, modern spaces that add value and ease to everyday living.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I renovate a bathroom without moving plumbing?
Yes, many bathroom renovations keep plumbing in its existing position to reduce costs and complexity. Keeping the toilet, shower and vanity close to their original spots can simplify the build. However, if the layout is inefficient, it’s often worth relocating fixtures to improve space and function. A builder can assess the best approach during the initial design phase.
How do I choose the right tiles for a bathroom renovation?
When choosing tiles, consider slip resistance, water absorption rating, and ease of cleaning. Matte tiles tend to offer better grip underfoot, while glossy tiles can brighten a darker space. Large-format tiles reduce grout lines, making them easier to clean and visually more expansive. Colour and pattern choices should reflect how much natural light the room receives and the overall design style you’re aiming for.
Can I include both a shower and a bath in a small bathroom?
Yes, but it requires clever planning. Compact or corner bathtubs, combined bath-shower units, and frameless screens can help maximise space. Wall-mounted fittings and built-in storage can also free up valuable room. A designer or builder can help balance the layout so both features fit comfortably without crowding the space.
How can lighting improve a bathroom renovation?
Well-planned lighting makes a big difference in how a bathroom functions and feels. Task lighting near mirrors helps with grooming, while ceiling lights provide general visibility. If the space allows, adding a window or skylight can improve ventilation and natural light. Layering different types of lighting creates a more comfortable and flexible environment, especially in shared or family bathrooms.
