Our work in Blockhouse Bay
Real Blockhouse Bay projects.
We know these West-Central Auckland homes well: good bones, older pipework, and bathrooms that transform dramatically with certified waterproofing and modern tiling.
Blockhouse Bay's 1960s and 70s family homes are solid as they come, but many still have their original bathrooms. Our Margate project here swapped a dated bathroom for a bright, tiled space with a modern glass shower.
We know these West-Central Auckland homes well: good bones, older pipework, and bathrooms that transform dramatically with certified waterproofing and modern tiling.
From certified waterproofing and precision tiling to full project management, we handle Blockhouse Bay renovations end to end, with honest, itemised quotes and a 4.9★ rating from 45 Google reviews. Wondering about budget? Read our guide to what a bathroom renovation costs in Auckland.
Blockhouse Bay filled out through the 1950s and 1960s with bungalows and state-era family homes, many still on their original footprint. The bathrooms are typically small, with a separate toilet, and there's usually more to gain from reworking the layout than from simply replacing what's there.
What we look for before quoting a Blockhouse Bay bathroom:
This is normal for housing of this age, and it's all workable. What causes trouble is finding it after the quote rather than before, so we look first and price second. You can see the approach in our Margate project above, and across the full gallery.
We come to you in Blockhouse Bay, measure up, look at the state of the floor and framing, and talk through what you actually want.
A clear, line-by-line quote, usually within one business day. No vague allowances and no hidden extras.
Strip-out, framing repairs, certified waterproofing, tiling, plumbing and fit-off. One team, one project manager, regular updates.
Full clean, final walk-through, and your 2-year workmanship guarantee in writing.
Often not. Replacing fittings in the same positions is usually treated as maintenance. Once you move plumbing, take out a wall, or add a new sanitary fixture, consent typically comes into it. We'll tell you which side of the line your job sits on at the site visit, and we handle the council process when it's needed. There's more in our guide to bathroom renovation consent in NZ.
Most bathrooms take roughly 2 to 4 weeks on site. Homes of this era can sit at the longer end if the layout is changing or the framing needs repair. You get a realistic timeline with the quote, and we tell you early if anything shifts. Our guide on how long a bathroom renovation takes breaks it down stage by stage.
Every bathroom is different, so we quote per project after a visit rather than guessing. For a ballpark first, try our 60-second cost estimator, or read what actually drives bathroom renovation cost in Auckland.
Sometimes, and we'd rather look first. We check the floor and framing before quoting the finish, and our quotes are itemised rather than a single lump sum. If the scope genuinely changes once the wall is open, you hear it from us straight away and in writing.
A 2-year workmanship guarantee in writing, on top of the manufacturer warranties on the products installed. You get it as part of the handover, not on request.
