A Bathroom Built to Last Past the Warranty

Stripped back to the studs and rebuilt from scratch — proper waterproofing, large-format tiles, timber floating vanity, and a frameless shower that still looks new in five years.

The Brief

Strip it back and do it once, done right

Bathrooms fail when the part you can't see wasn't done properly. The tile might look fine for years while the waterproofing behind it slowly gives way — and by the time it shows, the damage is already done.

This job was about a full strip-out and rebuild. Not a resurface, not a patch. Back to the studs, waterproofed to spec, and built the way it should have been the first time.

The brief was a clean, contemporary finish with quality materials that hold up to the way the bathroom actually gets used — every day, in North Queensland's heat and humidity.

The Build

The parts that matter most are the ones you won't see

Waterproofing came first — two coats to membrane, all junctions sealed, and inspected before a single tile went down. That's the certification that protects the home, not just the finish.

Large-format tiles were laid on a full bed of adhesive, set square and level, with grout joints that run consistently top to bottom. The kind of tiling that reads as precision because it is.

  1. Strip-out & waterproofing

    Full strip back to the frame, then waterproofed to Australian standards with a certified inspection before tiling begins.

  2. Tiling

    Large-format floor and wall tiles, set level and square — the feature wall in scallop tile, balanced against the natural stone look on the floor and shower.

  3. Fit-off & finish

    Floating vanity, frameless shower screen, tapware, and accessories installed and signed off — certifications in hand at handover.

The Result

A bathroom that earns its keep every morning

Double basins, a frameless walk-in shower, and a timber floating vanity with storage that actually works. The scallop feature tile gives the room a point of difference without overpowering the space.

The finish is clean and considered — materials that feel premium without being fussy, and a layout that flows well whether one person is using it or two.

Certified, signed off, and handed over with the paperwork the owners need for insurance and resale. Nothing left loose, nothing left to chance.
