Can you build an accessible bathroom that still looks good?

Yes. We design level-entry showers, discreet grab rails, slip-resistant floors and comfortable-height fittings that are safe without looking clinical. A tiled wet-room is often the best accessible option, and it stays stylish and easy to clean.

Is a wet-room a good choice for an older person?

Often, yes. A fully level, tiled wet-room removes trays and steps, making entry safe and cleaning easy. We waterproof it thoroughly to AS/NZS 3740 and add slip-rated flooring, designing it to suit your needs now and in the future.

How much do accessible features add to the cost?

Features like grab rails, a level-entry shower and slip-resistant flooring are usually a modest addition to a standard renovation rather than a major extra. We set it all out in your fixed written quote so there are no surprises.

Do you renovate rental and investment bathrooms too?

Yes. We handle practical, compliant refits for landlords, built to the NZ Building Code with proper waterproofing and registered trades. We can focus on durability and value, and give you a clear fixed price up front.

Free consultation Fixed written quote Workmanship guaranteed

Browns Bay is a classic East Coast Bays beach community — a friendly village centre, a popular beach, and a population that spans young families and long-settled retirees. That mix shapes the bathroom work here more than anywhere else on the Shore: alongside stylish family renovations, there is steady demand for safer, more accessible bathrooms that let people stay in the homes they love.

We are a design-led bathroom renovation team covering all of Auckland. Every Browns Bay project starts with a free consultation and a fixed written quote.

A beach suburb for families and retirees

Browns Bay's housing is a comfortable mix of post-war homes, 1970s–90s brick-and-tile, and newer infill. The people living in them want different things:

Families after durable, good-looking bathrooms that cope with beach life and busy mornings.
Retirees and downsizers wanting safer, lower-maintenance bathrooms for the years ahead.
Investors and landlords needing practical, compliant refits.

Whatever camp you are in, we design the room around how you actually live.

Accessible and future-proof bathrooms

Browns Bay has strong demand for accessible bathrooms, and getting them right takes experience. A level-entry shower, well-placed grab rails, a slip-resistant floor, a comfortable-height toilet and a seat where needed can make a bathroom safe for decades — without it looking clinical. Our accessible bathrooms service blends safety with genuine style.

A fully level, tiled wet-room is often the best accessible solution, removing trays and steps while staying easy to clean. We will talk through what suits your needs now and later.

Durable family bathrooms by the beach

For families, Browns Bay bathrooms need to handle sandy feet and constant use. We favour large-format tiles with minimal grout, robust tapware, generous towel storage and strong ventilation to keep moisture under control near the coast. A full bathroom renovation can reset a tired family bathroom completely, while a new shower and vanity refresh does it on a smaller budget.

Compliance, safety and quality trades

Accessible and family bathrooms alike are built to the NZ Building Code, with waterproofing to AS/NZS 3740 and slip-rated flooring where it matters. Plumbing and electrical are completed by registered tradespeople, and structural work is handled by a Licensed Building Practitioner. Where a building consent is needed, we manage the Auckland Council process and inspections.
