Otahuhu is one of Auckland's oldest suburbs, full of villas, bungalows and solid post-war homes, with plenty of original bathrooms ready for a new life. Our Curlew project here turned a dated bathroom into a walk-in tiled shower with feature tiling and a backlit mirror.
From heritage bungalows to hard-working family homes, we renovate Otahuhu bathrooms end to end: certified waterproofing, precision tiling and one team managing every trade.
From certified waterproofing and precision tiling to full project management, we handle Otahuhu 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.
Otahuhu is one of the older parts of South Auckland, with bungalows and post-war family homes across most of the suburb. The bathrooms are typically small and original, and after this many decades the framing under the shower is worth looking at before anything else is decided.
Things we routinely find in Otahuhu bathrooms:
None of this is a reason not to renovate. It's a reason to get the quote right up front, which is why we look under the surface before giving you a number, and why our quotes are itemised rather than a single lump sum. You can see the approach in our Curlew project above, and across the full gallery.
We come to you in Otahuhu, 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.
