Bathroom renovation reviews in Bateau Bay

"We'd been putting off the bathroom reno for years because we didn't know where to start with finding trades. Messaged Alljack and got three quotes from plumbers who handle full renovations. The one we went with project managed the whole thing including the tiler. Six weeks later we had a beautiful new bathroom."

What Plumbing Is Involved in a Bateau Bay Bathroom Renovation?

Replumbing of supply lines (hot & cold)

In Bateau Bay's 1970s and 80s homes, bathroom walls contain original copper supply pipes that are now 40–55 years old. Opening walls for a renovation is the ideal time to replace all copper runs with modern PEX or PVC — eliminating future leak risk and bringing the property up to current standards.

Drainage relocation and re-grading

Moving a shower, bath, or vanity requires repositioning waste pipes. In older Bateau Bay homes, original drainage often has incorrect fall gradients or non-standard pipe sizes — a renovation is the opportunity to rectify drainage issues properly rather than tile over problems.

Shower installation (head, mixer, drainage)

Installing or relocating a shower requires a licensed plumber to connect the hot and cold supply to the mixer, install the shower head and arm, and connect the waste. In Bateau Bay renos, frameless glass shower screens over tiled bases are the most popular upgrade from original fibreglass shower recesses.

Vanity and basin connections

Wall-hung vanities, undermount basins, and vessel sinks all require licensed plumbing for supply and waste connections. In Bateau Bay renos, wall-hung vanities with stone benchtops are popular — these also require proper waterproofing behind the wall before tiling.

Toilet rough-in and connection

Moving or replacing the toilet during a Bateau Bay bathroom reno requires adjusting the pan collar position and supply connection. If upgrading to a wall-faced or in-wall cistern toilet — a popular coastal-design choice — the plumber must install the cistern frame before the tiler starts.

Bathroom Renovation Costs in Bateau Bay

Why Bateau Bay bathrooms need full renos

Over 78% of Bateau Bay dwellings are separate houses, the majority built in the 1970s and 80s. These homes typically have one or two bathrooms with original avocado or harvest gold tiles, fibreglass shower recesses, and aged copper supply lines. After 40–55 years, most are overdue for a complete overhaul.

Original fibreglass shower recess replace with frameless glass & tiled base Most popular upgrade
Copper supply lines in walls often corroded, non-compliant Needs replacing
Original drainage incorrect falls, old-spec pipe sizes Often needs re-run
