What a full renovation actually involves.
A full bathroom renovation is the right call when the room is tired, the waterproofing is at end of life, or the layout simply does not work for the household. Unlike a cosmetic refresh, we strip the room back to frame so everything underneath, the part that decides whether a bathroom lasts, is done properly. Across Devonport, East Devonport and Latrobe we see a lot of original mid-century wet areas where the only honest fix is a full rebuild.
The stages, in order.
- Strip-out: Every fixture and all tiles removed back to stud and floor substrate.
- Substrate assessment: We check for the perished membranes, frame rot and undersized drainage that older Devonport homes hide, and report before proceeding.
- Rough-in: Licensed plumbing and electrical rough-in, framing adjusted for the new layout, new wall sheeting.
- Waterproofing: Full wet-area membrane to AS 3740, taken up walls and over the shower hob to required heights, inspected before tiling.
- Tiling: Wall and floor tiling, including large-format and feature work, with falls set correctly to the drain.
- Fit-off: Vanity, toilet, shower screen, tapware, mirror, heated towel rail and accessories installed, tested and certified.

Permits and compliance in Tasmania.
A like-for-like full renovation is often Low Risk work under the Tasmanian Building Act 2016, but all plumbing must be done by a licensed plumber and certified. Change the layout and it steps up to Notifiable or Permit-level with a building surveyor. We confirm the pathway with Devonport City Council up front.

Common questions.
What does a full bathroom renovation in Devonport include?
A complete strip-out and rebuild: removing every fixture and all tiles back to frame, adjusting framing and services, rough-in plumbing and electrical, AS 3740 waterproofing of the whole wet area, wall and floor tiling, then fit-off of vanity, toilet, shower, screen, tapware and accessories.
How much does it cost?

Do I have to move out?
No, most homeowners stay if there is a second bathroom or ensuite. The room is out of action for the three to four weeks on site.
Can you change the layout?
Yes. Moving fixtures changes the drainage and lifts the work to Permit-level with a building surveyor and a licensed plumber. We handle that pathway so a new layout is fully compliant.
