Small Bathroom Renovations in Melbourne

Melbourne is full of homes — Victorian terraces, workers' cottages, period apartments — where the bathroom footprint is non-negotiable. The renovation isn't about making it bigger; it's about making every centimetre work harder.

We specialise in small bathroom layouts: wall-hung vanities, frameless wet-rooms, mirrored cabinetry that doubles storage, and considered tile choices that visually expand the room. Every fixture is chosen to suit the scale, not just dropped in from a showroom display.

Small bathrooms in Melbourne fall into a few recognisable types, and each one has its own constraints. Single-fronted terraces through Fitzroy, Richmond, Yarraville and Seddon usually have a rear wet area under a skillion roof, with a shared bathroom and laundry, low head height and a timber subfloor on stumps — merging the two rooms is nearly always the best use of the space. Period apartments in St Kilda, Elwood and Carlton bring a different set of rules: concrete slabs that limit floor waste positions, body corporate approvals, restricted work hours and lift bookings for material deliveries. Post-war brick homes across the eastern and northern suburbs tend to have a compact 1.8m by 2.4m bathroom with a separate toilet, where removing the dividing wall creates enough room for a walk-in shower without touching the external footprint. We plan each of these differently, and we tell you honestly at the site visit which layout changes are worth the money and which ones are not.
