Can you keep both a bath and a shower in my Milford bathroom?

Usually yes, if the room has the footprint. We design the layout to fit a family bath and a good-sized shower where possible, or suggest alternatives like a shower-over-bath if space is tight. We work this out at the free consultation.

My bathroom was renovated years ago. Can you just refresh it?

Absolutely. If the structure and waterproofing are sound, we can focus on new tiling, vanity, tapware and lighting for a quicker, more affordable update. If we find hidden issues, we will tell you honestly before going further.

How do you stop mould coming back?

The key is ventilation. We install correctly sized extraction ducted to outside, use moisture-resistant linings and sealed cabinetry, and detail the waterproofing properly. Good airflow is what keeps a coastal bathroom dry and mould-free.

Do you provide a guarantee?

Yes. We stand behind our workmanship with a guarantee, build to the NZ Building Code, and waterproof to AS/NZS 3740. Plumbing and electrical are done by registered tradespeople, so the work is compliant and inspected where required.

Bathroom Renovation Milford

Design-led bathroom renovations in Milford and across North Shore. Full renovations, ensuites, wet rooms, tiling and waterproofing — fixed written quotes, certified waterproofing and a workmanship guarantee.

Free consultation Fixed written quote Workmanship guaranteed

Milford pairs a lovely beach and reserve with some of the most liveable family streets on the North Shore. The housing is a real mix — original 1950s–70s homes that have never been touched, alongside properties that were renovated a decade or two ago and are now ready for a refresh. Whatever stage your bathroom is at, the goal in Milford is usually the same: a hard-working, good-looking family bathroom that copes with sandy feet, wet towels and busy mornings.

We are a design-led bathroom renovation team working across Auckland. Every Milford job starts with a free consultation and a fixed written quote, so you can plan with confidence.

Milford's mix of original and renovated homes

Two common scenarios turn up again and again in Milford:

Untouched older bathrooms in homes near Milford Reserve and the beach — tired layouts, failed grout, and waterproofing that was never really there. These benefit from a complete full bathroom renovation.
Earlier renovations that have dated or where cheap fittings have worn out — often a faster refresh focused on tiling, a new vanity and modern tapware.

We tailor the scope to the house rather than selling you more than you need.

Family bathrooms that handle beach life

Milford households live close to the water, so bathrooms here take a beating. We design for durability and easy cleaning: large-format tiles with minimal grout lines, robust tapware, generous storage for towels and toys, and good lighting over the mirror. A separate bath often stays on the wishlist for families with young kids, and we can plan a layout that fits both a bathtub and a decent shower.

Where space is tight, clever design wins. Our bathroom design service squeezes the most out of every millimetre.

Moisture and ventilation near the coast

Being close to the sea, Milford bathrooms need to manage moisture well. Poor ventilation is the number one cause of mould and peeling paint we see in older Shore homes. We size and duct extraction to clear steam to outside, meeting the internal-moisture requirements of the Building Code (E3), and we recommend finishes that shrug off humidity.

Correctly ducted extraction vented outside, not into the roof space.
Moisture-resistant linings and sealed cabinetry.
Quality tapware and accessories that resist the slightly salty air.

How we build, and who does the work

We manage the whole job: design, waterproofing to AS/NZS 3740, tiling, cabinetry and fit-off. Plumbing and electrical are completed by registered tradespeople, and any structural work is handled by a Licensed Building Practitioner where required. You get fixed written pricing, a clear programme and a tidy site, backed by our workmanship guarantee.

What a Milford bathroom renovation costs

As a guide, and depending on size, layout and fixtures: a small bathroom or powder room is roughly $12,000–$20,000; a standard full renovation $20,000–$35,000; an ensuite $15,000–$28,000; and a large or premium master bathroom $35,000–$60,000+. A lighter refresh of an already-renovated Milford bathroom can sit at the lower end.
