A St Kilda bathroom renovation that stays on budget and gets finished.
One crew, one contract, start to finish. St Kilda spans grand Victorian villas through to Art Deco flats, and original bathrooms in either usually predate modern waterproofing. We know what we're walking into before we quote.
Waterproofing
Full membrane to AS 3740, matched to whether you're in a Victorian villa or an Art Deco flat. The part that gets skipped when a quote treats both as the same standard job.
Tiling
Floor to ceiling or feature tiling, installed to AS 3958 and fitted to your property's actual era, curved Art Deco walls included. Our tiler, not a sub.
Vanity and storage
Measured and installed to fit your specific building type, whether a grand villa or a compact Art Deco flat, not a stock size.
Shower and tapware
Screens, mixers and rails fitted to work with your building's original wall lines, whatever its era.
Plumbing and electrical
Rough-in and final connections to AS/NZS 3500 and AS/NZS 3000, accounting for the plumbing quirks of both Victorian villas and interwar flats.
Written fixed-price quote
The number we agree on after identifying your property's actual building type is the number you pay. No one-size-fits-all quote.
A suburb this varied needs a crew that checks your specific property, not the postcode.
A price that holds
A one-size quote for two totally different building types is how a St Kilda job goes wrong. We identify your building type and quote in writing, so the number actually fits.
We know St Kilda homes
Victorian-era mansions and villas, interwar Art Deco flats, all inside the HO7 heritage precinct since 2001. We check your property's specific classification before we quote, not after.
Straight talk, answered calls
Tradies who know the difference between a Victorian villa and an Art Deco flat, not a call centre reading a script. We say the thing, then stop.
Bathroom renovations in St Kilda. Straight answers.
St Kilda has such a mix of architecture. How do you know what applies to my property?
It genuinely varies street to street, which is why we check rather than assume. St Kilda sits within Heritage Overlay 7 (HO7), a large precinct introduced in 2001 spanning St Kilda, Elwood, Balaclava and Ripponlea. It covers everything from grand Victorian-era mansions and villas to interwar Art Deco flats. Internal bathroom work is usually unaffected, but we confirm your property's specific classification at the site visit before quoting anything.
Does Port Phillip Council offer any help with heritage renovations?
Yes, and it's worth using. The City of Port Phillip employs Urban Design and Heritage Advisors who provide free assistance to residents renovating historic buildings in the municipality. We're happy to work alongside advice you've already received, or point you toward that resource if you haven't used it yet.
Do you work on St Kilda's period homes and older apartment buildings?
Yes, across both. St Kilda's housing stock ranges from Victorian-era villas with bathrooms that predate modern waterproofing entirely, to Art Deco walk-up apartments from the 1920s and 30s with curved walls, decorative ceilings and steel-framed windows. Each needs different handling. We assess your specific property and building type at the site visit.
