Mount Roskill is one of Auckland's great post-war suburbs, built out heavily through the 1950s and 1960s. The homes are well made but the bathrooms are of their time: compact, tiled to waist height, and with a separate toilet. It's the sort of room where a considered layout change transforms the house.
What tends to turn up once we open up a Mount Roskill 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 Melrose project above, and across the full gallery.
We come to you in Mount Roskill, 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.
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.
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 Three Kings, Hillsborough, Lynfield, Wesley and Sandringham, along with the wider Auckland area. If you're not sure whether we reach you, just ask.
