Bathroom Renovation Demolition
Once the design has been completed and confirmed, we start the demolition process. This process is exactly what it sounds like. It’s time to start deconstructing the old bathroom design, in preparation for the new. The level of demolishing is dependent on the size of your bathroom project, it could simply be a case of removing the existing fixtures and fittings from the bathroom to completely stripping the bathroom to its bare framework. Bespoke Renovations Melbourne takes great care in this process to protect the rest of the house.
Bathroom Renovation Structure Alteration
Once the demolition process is complete, the rebuild begins! Installation of new windows, straightening of walls, levelling of floors and recessing tile shower bases are all completed during this stage. Back blocking for bathroom fixtures such as towel rails and shower screens are also installed in the walls to ensure maximum longevity to all your new fixtures.
Bathroom Renovation Rough In
At rough in, this is where the qualified and licensed electrician and plumbers attend to do their bit. The electrician will move existing cables and run new cables for additional lighting and switching requirements. The plumber will relocate and add any new water feed or waste services required for your new bathroom.
Bathroom Renovation Lining
This is where your bathroom renovation starts to take shape! Particle board flooring and cement sheeting are installed on the floor (timber subfloor type project) and the walls are lined with AquaChek plasterboard in the wet areas and standard plaster for the remaining area of the walls.
Bathroom Renovation Waterproofing
The next stage of a bathroom renovation is waterproofing. This is a critical aspect of any bathroom renovation as it is the waterproofing that is a failsafe to protect the structure of the room should any of the grouting or silicon applied later be compromised. This stage of a bathroom renovation is spaced over 1-2 days to allow the waterproofing to cure.
Bathroom Renovation Tiling
When the tiling stage of a bathroom renovation, the walls are started first skipping the bottom row. A laser level is used to fit supporting batons below the second row of tiles and they are applied upwards from there. Tile base or polytech base are the next components fit followed by the rest of the floor tiles. The bottom row of wall tiles is fit and the adhesive is allowed to cure overnight.
Bathroom Renovation Grouting
After deciding on the grout colour that best compliments your tile selection the walls tiles are grouted first with a standard tiling grout with a booster that gives the grout extra durability and longevity. The floor tiles are grouted with a specialised 2-part epoxy grout that is designed to wear the test of time underfoot and aid in preventing cracking, should your home move over time.
Bathroom Renovation Fitting Off
The fit-off stage of the bathroom renovation is when your project comes to life. The tapware, towel rails, toilet, vanities and the like are installed at the predetermined locations.
Bathroom Renovation Finishing
Finally, the bathroom is cleaned and caulking is applied to all tile junctions to complete the water-tight seal of the room. The silicon will need to cure for a minimum of 12 hours before anyone enters the room as any dust can be trapped while wet
