Our work in Hillcrest
Real Hillcrest projects.
We renovate across the North Shore with the same obsessive standards on every job: waterproofing done right, tiling done beautifully.
Hillcrest's classic 1960s and 70s North Shore family homes are known for good bones and original bathrooms well past their best. Our Northgrove project replaced one with a stone-topped vanity, backlit mirror and modern tiling.

Hillcrest is a settled North Shore suburb built out through the 1960s and 1970s, with solid family homes on good sections. The bathrooms are typically compact and original, and the usual reason for calling us is a shower that's started to leak into the floor.
What we look for before quoting a Hillcrest 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 Northgrove project above, and across the full gallery.
We come to you in Hillcrest, 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. If a leak has been going a while, allow for framing repair before the new work starts. 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, and most people want the help. We guide layout, tiles, tapware and finishes so the room works together and suits the age of the house, rather than leaving you to assemble it from showroom visits.
Yes. We cover Northcote, Glenfield, Birkdale, Wairau Valley and Sunnynook, along with the wider Auckland area. If you're not sure whether we reach you, just ask.
