Design-led bathroom renovations in Westmere and across Central Auckland. Full renovations, ensuites, wet rooms, tiling and waterproofing — fixed written quotes, certified waterproofing and a workmanship guarantee.
Westmere is a quiet, family-friendly pocket on the coastal edge of the inner west, loved for its bungalows, its proximity to Cox's Bay and Western Springs, and its settled, community feel. The homes are predominantly 1920s to 1940s bungalows, and the bathroom briefs reflect the families who live in them: practical, good-quality rooms built to handle years of daily use.
We renovate bathrooms throughout Westmere with that family focus, giving you a durable, well-designed result and a fixed written quote.
Westmere bungalows often have a single, dated main bathroom that is working harder than it was ever designed to. The common brief is to modernise it into a proper family bathroom, or to add an ensuite so the household is not sharing one room. We focus on smart layouts, durable surfaces and generous storage, with quality tiling that stands up to busy family life.
A 1920s or 30s bungalow is a lovely thing to renovate, but it comes with the usual honesties of age. We routinely find dated plumbing, past water damage and floors that have settled out of level, and all of it needs attention before the new bathroom goes in. We repair and re-level the substrate and upgrade services first, so the finished room performs for the long haul.
Waterproofing is installed to AS/NZS 3740 and plumbing and electrical are carried out by registered tradespeople.
Being near the coast, Westmere homes benefit from good moisture management. A bathroom is the wettest room in any house, so proper ventilation, robust waterproofing and the right materials matter all the more here. We specify extraction and finishes that keep the room dry and healthy, which protects both the renovation and the home around it. Getting the extraction right also keeps mould and condensation at bay, which is the most common complaint we hear about older bungalow bathrooms.
A like-for-like refit often does not need consent, but adding a bathroom or relocating plumbing generally does. We manage the Auckland Council building consent and inspections so the work meets the NZ Building Code and is properly documented, which matters when a well-renovated bathroom adds real value to a Westmere home.
As a guide, depending on size, layout and fixtures: small bathroom $12,000–$20,000, standard full renovation $20,000–$35,000, ensuite $15,000–$28,000. See the cost guide for the detail.
