Renovating your bathroom? Read this first

Old, leaky, stained bathroom? You’ve come to the right place. Hanson Building has renovated dozens of bathrooms. Here are some key steps that will make your project smooth, stylish, and stress-free.

Renovating your bathroom in Melbourne can be one of the most rewarding upgrades to your home - we know, we’ve done it in our own home and for dozens and dozens of clients. Before you start picking tiles and tapware, here are key things you should know:

Permits and Regulations

Bathroom renovations in Melbourne are governed by building codes and regulations and permits may be required. At Hanson Building, we guide you through the entire process—ensuring your renovation complies with all local laws and is approved by the relevant authorities.

Budget Realistically

A clear budget helps you prioritise features and avoid overspending. Consider materials, labour, permits, and a buffer for unexpected issues. Hanson Building can help you scope your project to match your goals and financial plan.

Choosing Fittings and Fixtures

Your choice of fittings and fixtures can dramatically impact both the look and functionality of your bathroom. It’s important to make these selections before work begins. Many design and plumbing decisions depend on the specific fixtures you choose and having all taps, toilets and tiles ready to go means work can progress efficiently. At Hanson Building, we guide you through this process, helping you make informed choices that align with your renovation goals, budget, and timeline.

Don’t forget to factor in lighting, mirrors, and storage solutions—they’re just as important as your tiles and vanity.
