A master bathroom with freestanding bath tub
Before…
After…
Nu-Trend Plumber and Bathroom Renovations have done an exceptional job on our ensuite bathroom. From the initial quote, to completion of the project. The professional finish applied to our ensuite bathroom exceeded our expectations.
Rick, Rob and Chris provided above and beyond expected standards. Rick was always responsive to any questions and proactively kept me informed on each step of the process. He advised on issues that arose providing photos and gave informed options.
The sub-contractors that Nu-trend brought in were equally courteous, respectful of our home and excellent at their trade.
The owner of this townhouse in Strathfield wanted to renovate their ensuite bathroom which had a dated design. The old bathroom had an outdated colour palette with old broken wall tiling and they wanted a complete renovation to give it a more modern look to add value to their property.
They came up with the interior design ideas on their own by using magazines and photos with the ensuite bathroom part of their overall house renovations. They decided to use products from The Bathroom Collective, Reece Plumbing and Beaumont Tiles in Sydney. Nu-Trend was chosen as the renovating contractor to complete this project from demolition of the existing bathroom through to tiling, toilet and vanity installation.
Even though this room was quite small, we helped them tweak the floor plan to create more space and use some clever interior design techniques to make the room feel larger.
The interior design aspects in this ensuite bathroom
The old bathroom already had a shower, toilet and sink but it was in a small cramped space in the townhouse. What we worked on for the interior design was to make sure that when you opened the door you saw the feature piece which was the wall hung vanity unit.
It is so important to choose great products when you are renovating your bathroom and this wasn’t a cheap vanity but look at the impact it creates. It is another good bathroom renovations idea, if you want a high quality you have to invest in the right products to be installed – have a read of some of our tips in our Renovating Advice section.
So the renovating trick we used in this bathroom was to make sure there was nothing bulky used in the room and everything was kept off the floor. Even the layout was arranged so that as you walked in you didn’t see the toilet or shower which was hidden behind the door.
By being able to see the Terrazzo floor tiles all the way to the corners of the room you get an immediate cense of space as your eyes are drawn to the far extremities. With the window providing lots of natural light the white tiles bounce light around the room all day long so it immediately feels fresh.

What did we do in this bathroom renovation?
#1 PROTECTED THE PROPERTY
Doing as many unit renovation projects as we do, we understand how stressful they can be for people trying to live through them. Most tradies also make a big mess. We make sure we protect your property with floor and wall coverings to make sure nothing is damaged while we are renovating your house.
#2 PLUMBING & FLOORING INSPECTION
Nu-Trend is a licensed plumber which is an advantage when you are renovating a bathroom. For every project we inspect all the plumbing to make sure it is ready for use. When you combine this with our renovation expertise you get piece of mind.
#3 RUBBISH REMOVAL
Some renovation contractors will not include this in their service, they might leave the rubbish from the demolition in your backyard or on the street. Nu-Trend will make sure all the materials and rubbish that are not used are removed neatly ensuring your property isn’t left in a mess and neighbours are happy.
#4 TOILET INSTALLATION
We can install a toilet, bath, vanity or shower for all renovation projects.
#5 SHOWER SCREEN INSTALLATION
We can install a custom made glass shower screen into your bathroom if it is a house, unit or town house. We can make sure the flooring and plumbing is suitable and it is sized exactly to fit your space.
