To start off a “wet room” is a bathroom that is designed to maximize space in small rooms by creating wet areas in the bathroom that are traditionally dry. A large drain or multiple drains are set up to take water away quickly from larger areas than normal with no shower screen set up or a non-full shower screen enclosure. It is by far one of the most difficult renovations to create and get right as you need a high degree of planning to make all elements work in a way that drains well and fits in the right positions. Below the renovations are broken down into three parts, one being the traditional setup, the second being with a bricked bath the last is the all in a row toilet set up.

Scarborough Bathroom Renovation

I love this bathroom for the vision the owner had for the space and the finish product is something so special.

Highlights

• Brushed Brass Tapware
• LED Mirror
• Matte White Feature Wall

Floreat Bathroom Renovation (Main)

One of the hardest parts of this bathroom to see is the use of VJ Panneling which can add a real warmth to your bathroom.

Highlights

• VJ Panels
• Concrete Stone Basin
• Chevron Wall and Floor Tiles

Willagee Bathroom Renovation

Like people tiles come in all shapes and sizes. This Willagee bathroom renovation is no different. The client have used a chevron pattern wall tile, combined with hexagon floor tiles and the returns tiles in vertical brick fashion.

Highlights

• Beautiful Tiling – Chevron, Vertical Subway and Hexagon
• Brushed Brass Tapware
• Simple But Effective Long Narrow Mirror Building Height

Tuart Hill Bathroom Renovation

The nib wall set up for a wet room is great way to get rid of any spacing issues. It does require a custom made screen though that will add to the cost but is a great added shelf.

Kingsley Bathroom Renovation

Windows can impact a space, especially when that window is old and cream. By changing the focal point of the room to blend with all your other bathrooms wow factors can be crucial.

Highlights

• Undermounted Basin
• Custom-Made Awning Window
• Freestanding Back To Wall Bath

Douleview Bathroom Renovation

Mt Nasura Bathroom Renovation

Highlights

• Royal Chester Blue (450mm x 450mm)
• Slipper Freestanding Bath

• Freestanding Bath

Often with wet rooms people have too much space or trying to create space.
This is an example of too much space but poorly put together.

• Frameless Custom Made Shower Screen – Fixed Panel
• Wall To Wall Shower Shelf

Marangaroo Bathroom Renovation

Wet rooms like most bathrooms come in all shapes and sizes often with layouts not allowing for all the items to go on the same wall but like all good renovators, you have to be able to look at a space and know how to get the most out of it. Below is a renovation we did in Marangaroo where it was a long room that had a window stopping us doing the all in a row so we improvised.

Highlights

• Glass Black Window With Internal Awning Window
• Back To Wall Freestanding Bath
• Window Long Shower Niche

Baldivis Bathroom Renovation

Tile choices can be limitless it feels like and because of that overwhelming. What I will say is try and avoid just white bathrooms if you have a white cabinet.

Highlights

• Semi Back To Wall Freestanding Bath
• Narrow External Shower Wall Shelf
• Kratos Grey Stunning Feature Wall/Floor Tiles

Roleystone Bathroom Renovation

A wall to wall wall is a great option for shelving but it does take a little bit of effort to make it work as the drainage, bath position and the new shower screen layout has to be planned to perfection and a high level of execution.

Highlights

• Wall To Wall Wall
• Semi Back To Wall Freestanding Bath
• Oak Ridge Vanity/Cabinet Set Up

Bricked Bath (Set-Up)

Below are bathroom renovation we have completed that are wet rooms but instead of using the freestanding bath set up, they are more towards the bricked bath finish. The key benefit really of the bricked bath is the reduction of areas that are harder to clean, a stronger bath set up, and aimed more at kids.

Canning Vale Bathroom Renovation

One of the keys to dark tiles is light. If you have the light build the dark I say. Below is one of our bathroom renovations in Canning Vale. The owner wanted to use one tile which in itself makes the space feel larger without the breakup of tones.

Highlights

• Changing Old Window To New Frosted White Finish
• Progressive Wall Mixers
• All In One Shower Combo

Atwell Bathroom Renovation

Island baths are designed for a more stable bath but can often be a little bulky

• Curved Mirror

All Four Parts (Toilet Set-Up)

Below is bathroom renovations that fit all 4 parts of a bathroom renovation into the space, whether that would be all in a row or across each bathroom has a bath, shower, vanity, and bath.

Yokine Bathroom Renovation

This Yokine bathroom is the smallest you can do a 4 part renovation like this being 2.5m x 1.9m as you can tell we made it work but it is close to being too tight!

Highlights

• Stone Freestanding Bath
• Custom Made Frameless Screen
• Wall Hung Toilet
