Bathroom renovations in Onehunga.

With its character villas and cottages near the harbour, Onehunga has some of Auckland's most charming older homes, and some of its most tired bathrooms. Our Onehunga Mall project brought one back to life with modern tiling and crisp black fixtures.

Older homes, honestly

What renovating an Onehunga bathroom actually involves.

Onehunga is one of Auckland's oldest suburbs, and the housing stock shows it. A lot of what we work on here was built before 1940: villas, bungalows and workers' cottages, most with a bathroom that was either squeezed into an existing room or tacked on later. Those homes are worth renovating properly, but they rarely behave like a new build once you open the floor up.

What we look for before quoting an Onehunga 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 Onehunga Mall project above, and across the full gallery.

Parts of Onehunga sit under character protections in 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'll flag it at the site visit if it looks relevant.

Onehunga questions

The things people ask us first.

Do I need building consent for a bathroom renovation in Onehunga?

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.

How long will my bathroom be out of action?

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.

What will a bathroom renovation in Onehunga cost?

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.

Will you find problems once you start?

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.

Who actually turns up to do the work?

Our own team, coordinated by one project manager, with licensed trades for plumbing and electrical. You're not left chasing separate contractors, and you have one number to call.

Do you work in the rest of the Onehunga area?

Yes. We cover Te Papapa, Penrose, Royal Oak, One Tree Hill and Oranga, along with the wider Auckland area. If you're not sure whether we reach you, just ask.
