Yarraville bathrooms with cottage charm.

Yarraville is full of small-to-mid Victorian worker's cottages — narrow frontages, single-storey footprints and tight wet areas that need careful planning. The renovation isn't just about new tile; it's about smart layouts and joinery that earn every centimetre.

We renovate Yarraville bathrooms with finishes that suit the cottage character — arch mirrors, brass tapware, warm timber, herringbone or subway tile — and joinery built to handle the realities of family life.

Most of our Yarraville work sits in the pocket between Anderson Street, Ballarat Street and the Yarraville Village end of Somerville Road, where double-fronted and single-fronted Victorian cottages dominate. These homes share a familiar set of problems: a bathroom tacked onto the back of the original footprint, a laundry sharing the same wet area, low ceilings under a skillion roof, and stumps or bearers that have moved over a century. We regularly re-level subfloors, re-route waste through tight underfloor space, and reconfigure the bathroom and laundry into one properly planned wet area rather than two cramped ones. Closer to Wembley Avenue and the Cruickshank Park side, the housing stock shifts to interwar and post-war homes with slightly wider footprints — those usually allow a separate bath and walk-in shower without borrowing space from a bedroom.
