Bathroom Renovation Botany

Botany is one of East Auckland's newer neighbourhoods, built out largely from the 1990s onward around the Botany Town Centre retail hub. The housing stock here skews to larger, modern family homes — double-storey builds, multiple bathrooms, and master suites that were generous for their day but are now starting to look dated. If your Botany home is twenty-odd years old, its bathrooms are often the first rooms to feel tired.

We specialise in bringing these homes up to a current, design-led standard: crisp ensuites, hard-working family bathrooms, and master retreats with a bit of luxury. Every renovation is built to the NZ Building Code, waterproofed to AS/NZS 3740, and priced with a fixed written quote. Ready to begin? Get a Free Quote.

Refreshing 1990s and 2000s Botany bathrooms

Homes built during Botany's growth boom were well constructed but the bathrooms followed the fashions of their time — builder-grade vanities, framed shower screens, mid-tone tiles, and spa baths that rarely get used. Twenty years on, the waterproofing membranes are at the end of their service life even where the tiles still look okay, which is exactly when leaks start finding their way into the framing below.

We strip these rooms back to the substrate, re-waterproof properly, and rebuild with current fixtures and finishes. Frameless glass, large-format tiles, wall-hung vanities and better lighting transform a dated 2000s bathroom without changing the footprint. Our full bathroom renovation service covers the complete rebuild.

Modern ensuites and master bathrooms

Botany's larger homes almost always have a master ensuite, and these are among our favourite projects. There's usually room to do something genuinely special — a double vanity, a freestanding bath, a walk-in or doorless shower, and a separate WC. We balance the wow factor with the practicalities of a space you use every single day.

• Ensuite renovations that make the most of the space you have
• Master bathroom renovations with hotel-style detailing
• Freestanding bathtub installation as a centrepiece
• Underfloor heating and heated towel rails for comfort through Auckland winters

Family bathrooms that keep up with busy households

Botany is built for families, and the main bathroom in these homes does a lot of work. We design for durability and flow: twin basins so the morning rush eases, a deep bath for the kids, robust tapware, and large-format tiling that keeps cleaning to a minimum. Good storage is the detail most dated Botany bathrooms lack, so our vanity and cabinetry work builds in proper drawers and concealed space from the start.

Wet rooms and walk-in showers

The clean, open look of a tiled wet room or a generous walk-in shower suits Botany's modern homes beautifully. Done right, it's also the most watertight way to build a shower — the whole floor is graded and waterproofed as one. The key is faultless waterproofing and careful fall to the drain, which is why we treat this as a precision job. Explore our wet room installation and shower installation services.
