Bathroom Renovations
Wellington bathroom renovations completed with care
Bathrooms need to look good, but the most important work is often behind the finished surfaces.
Common bathroom renovation projects
Waterproofing, ventilation, framing, drainage, plumbing, substrate preparation, and accurate installation all affect how the room performs over time.
Studs Up Building delivers bathroom renovations across Wellington, primarily as part of larger home renovations, multi-room upgrades, and substantial alteration projects.
We can help with:
Main bathroom renovations
Ensuite renovations
Multiple bathrooms completed together
Bathroom layout changes
New bathrooms within home alterations
Laundry and bathroom combinations
Structural or water-damage repairs
Accessibility improvements
Improved ventilation and moisture management
Bathroom work included within a full-home renovation
What may be hidden in an older bathroom?
Older bathrooms can conceal:
Leaking showers or baths
Failed waterproofing
Rotten framing
Damaged flooring
Mould or moisture issues
Poor ventilation
Plumbing that needs replacement
Earlier renovations that were not completed correctly
These issues may not become fully visible until demolition begins.
We discuss likely risks early and explain what the project may involve if additional work is uncovered. Our aim is not to cover problems back up. It is to resolve them properly before the new bathroom is completed.
Our bathroom renovation process
#1
Initial discussion and site visit
We talk through the current bathroom, the wider project, and what needs to change.
#2
Design and selections
The layout, fixtures, finishes, storage, heating, lighting, and ventilation are considered before construction.
#3
Demolition and investigation
Once the room is opened, the underlying structure and condition can be assessed.
#4
Construction and coordination
We coordinate the building, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, lining, and installation work.
#5
Finishing and completion
The final stage includes fittings, finishing details, checks, and completion of the agreed scope.
Is your project a good fit?
Studs Up Building generally focuses on bathrooms that form part of a broader renovation or multi-room project.
Examples include:
A bathroom and kitchen renovation completed together
An ensuite and main bathroom upgrade
A bathroom within a major home alteration
A bathroom renovation requiring structural repair
Several rooms renovated as part of one three-month project
For a small cosmetic bathroom replacement with no wider building work, we may not be the best fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bathroom renovation usually take?
The timeframe depends on the size of the bathroom, the amount of structural work required and the availability of selected fixtures and finishes. A straightforward bathroom renovation may take a few weeks, while more involved projects can take longer.
We’ll always give you a clear schedule before work begins.
Can you help if we discover rot or water damage during the renovation?
Yes. Older bathrooms can hide issues such as damaged framing, leaking plumbing, failed waterproofing or rotten flooring.
If we uncover anything unexpected, we’ll explain the issue, talk through the options and agree on the best way forward before carrying out additional work.
Do you manage the plumbers, electricians and other trades?
Yes. We coordinate the required trades as part of the renovation, helping keep the project organised and making sure each stage of the work happens in the right order.
Can you renovate a bathroom as part of a larger home renovation?
Absolutely. Many of our bathroom projects form part of a wider renovation or alteration.
We can coordinate the bathroom alongside structural changes, other rooms and broader upgrades to your Wellington home.
