Grey Lynn is classic villa territory: beautiful character homes where the bathroom is often the one room that's never caught up. Our Stanmore project brought a walk-in tiled shower and modern vanity into a character home without losing its charm.

Grey Lynn is villa and bungalow country, and most of the housing predates 1930. These homes are worth renovating properly, but they rarely behave like a new build once the floor comes up. The bathroom was usually added to the house rather than designed into it, which is why the layouts so often feel like an afterthought.
What tends to turn up once we open up a Grey Lynn bathroom:
None of it is unusual, and none of it is a reason to put the job off. It's the reason we check what's behind the lining before we price the finish, and the reason our quotes are itemised rather than one lump figure. You can see the approach in our Stanmore project above, and across the full gallery.
Large parts of Grey Lynn sit within Special Character Areas under the Auckland Unitary Plan. Interior bathroom work is rarely affected, but if your project touches the exterior or the roofline it's worth checking your property's zoning early.
We come to you in Grey Lynn, 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. Older homes around here can sit at the longer end if the floor or framing needs repair once we open up. 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.
Usually yes, as long as there's a second toilet or you can make other arrangements for a couple of weeks. We seal the work area, keep the dust contained and tidy up at the end of each day.
Yes. Waterproofing and tiling are the two things most likely to fail later, so they're done by our own people to certified standards rather than subcontracted out to whoever's available.
