Serving Ashgrove and the surrounding streets

Larger map

The famous Ashgrovian timber homes have big rooms and good bones, but their bathrooms were usually last touched in the 70s or 80s: hobbed showers, failing membranes, and ventilation that was never enough for Brisbane humidity.

  • Large-footprint bathrooms that suit walk-in showers and double vanities
  • Older copper and galvanised plumbing often worth replacing while open
  • Heritage character fronts that need sympathetic window choices

Reviews

What Ashgrove homeowners say.

★★★★★
“Two companies quoted to regrout our leaking shower. Joel pulled a tile, showed us the failed membrane, and explained why regrouting would waste our money. The full renovation cost more and was worth every dollar.”

Local questions

Bathroom questions in Ashgrove, answered.

Do you charge extra to come to Ashgrove?
No. Ashgrove is within 15km of our Paddington base, so there is no travel surcharge. The consult, the crew and the skip all price the same as next door to our studio.
How soon can you do my job in Ashgrove?
Most projects book 3 to 6 weeks out, and a standard full renovation runs 2 to 3 weeks on site. Refresh and reglaze scopes and shower conversions can often slot in sooner. You get real dates with the proposal, and we hold them.
Can you renovate the bathroom in an older timber home in Ashgrove?
Yes, it is most of what we do. Queenslander and post-war timber floors move, so we re-sheet with a structural wet-area substrate and use a movement-tolerant certified membrane. Pre-1990 sheeting gets an asbestos check before any strip-out.
Can you work with our body corporate or strata in Ashgrove?
Yes. We prepare the body-corporate pack, scope, insurance certificates, work hours and floor protection, and deal with the building manager directly. Unit wet areas get the same certified waterproofing and handover paperwork as houses.
