Bathroom Renovations

Service Image

Service overview

Bathrooms are small rooms with no margin for error. RGB Building delivers bathroom renovations across Sydney's Northern Beaches and North Shore, with Richard on site as both lead builder and site manager from the first day to handover. Every RGB project runs the same five stages, from first consultation through to handover.

‍

The work you can't see

Waterproofing, falls and setout all have to be right before a single tile goes on. Get any of them wrong and the problem shows up years later as a leak into the room below, and by then the only fix is to pull the whole bathroom out again.

That's why we treat the rough-in stage as the important part of the job. Services located properly, membranes applied and cured correctly, floor falls set so water goes where it should. It's the least interesting part of a bathroom renovation and the part that determines whether it lasts.

Finishes that hold up

Once the structure is right, the finishes are where the room comes to life. Recent bathrooms include full-height stone tiling, frameless glass showers, custom vanities, premium tapware and underfloor heating. At Lauderdale Ave in Fairlight, the bathrooms carry full-height stone with frameless showers and custom vanities. At Tasman St in Dee Why, the limestone bathrooms run underfloor heating throughout.

We'll also give you a straight opinion on specification. Some finishes look excellent and don't cope with a family bathroom used four times a day. If something won't hold up in the room you're putting it in, we'll say so before it's ordered.

‍

One point of contact, start to finish

A bathroom involves more trades in a small space than almost any other room: demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling, glazing, joinery. Getting them in the right order matters, and a delay in one holds up everything behind it.

Richard is on site as both lead builder and site manager, coordinating the sequence and checking each stage as it happens. If something unexpected comes up behind the old tiles, and in an older home it often does, you'll hear about it the same day, along with a clear recommendation and what it means for cost and program.

Our Process

01 Consultation & Brief
We start by understanding the vision, the site and the way you want to live. If you already have an architect or designer, we work with them. If not, we can point you to trusted partners.

02 Design Coordination & Approvals
We coordinate design input for buildability and cost, and manage the approvals process so the project is properly prepared before work begins.

03 Planning & Transparent Quoting
Detailed, honest pricing with a realistic program. Scope, staging and trades are all confirmed before work begins.

04 Construction & Project Management
Hands-on site management and a trusted network of trades. Quality control and regular, clear communication run through the whole build.

05 Completion & Handover
Every detail is checked and every finish reviewed before we hand over a home that is ready to live in, with guidance and support at completion.
