Bathroom renovations in East Devonport.
East Devonport sits across the Mersey from the city centre, a settled residential pocket of older weatherboard and brick-veneer homes near the Spirit of Tasmania terminal. We renovate bathrooms here every week, and the original wet areas are exactly the kind we know best.
The East Devonport bathroom story.
Older coastal housing stock.
Much of East Devonport, including the streets around Thomas Street, Wright Street and out towards Ambleside, is mid-century housing with original wet areas. Behind the tiles we routinely find perished waterproof membranes, timber rot around the old shower base and undersized drainage. Being close to the Mersey and the coast, with a cool, damp climate for much of the year, these bathrooms dry slowly and a marginal old membrane fails quietly. We strip back to frame, assess what is really there, and re-waterproof to AS 3740.
What East Devonport homeowners ask for.
The most common East Devonport job is replacing a tired shower-over-bath with an open walk-in shower, often as part of a full bathroom renovation. We also do a steady stream of accessible work, since many long-term owners want to stay in the home and need an accessible bathroom with level entry and grab rails to do so safely.
