Coburg Bathroom Transformation
Overview
The original bathroom suffered years of undetected water ingress — rotted joists, bowed walls and zero waterproofing. Our brief was clear: rebuild the room from the studs out, add a seamless walk-in shower and deliver a high-end finish that will stay watertight for decades.
Key Design Elements
Full Strip-Back & Structural Renewal
Removed flooring, joists and rotten studs. Reframed all four walls with 90 × 45 mm structural pine; new LVL floor system dropped to create a flush shower recess
Precision Re-Levelling
Laser-levelled floors and walls to guarantee perfect tile lines from floor to ceiling
Reinforced Fix-Off Points
Added timber noggins behind all planned fixtures for rock-solid mounting of vanity, mirrors and accessories
Certified Plumbing & Electrical Rough-In
Licensed trades completed new services to AS/NZS standards before plaster
Moisture-Resistant Linings & Dual-Coat Waterproofing
Water-resistant plasterboard to walls; two-coat membrane applied with compliance certificate supplied
Premium Tile & Fit-Off Package
Full-height tiles with mitred 45-degree corners, black floating vanity, brushed-nickel tapware, dual LED demist mirrors, concealed-cistern toilet and freestanding corner bath
