Before and after comparison
Nu Trend was contracted to renovate a bathroom in Five Dock. The home owner wanted to renovate their main bathroom to remove the old white and dark charcoal tiling and build something that felt warm and inviting.
The Nu-Trend team have just completed my bathroom renovation and did an outstanding job.
They don’t cut corners and everything is done to the highest standards. Rick is very, very responsive and I felt comfortable discussing any concerns that I had with him - he and his team did everything that they could possibly do to keep me happy.
Chris and Robbie were onsite getting their hands dirty as well as managing external trades and I can not speak highly enough if these guys. Very professional, respectful, always smiling, very polite and more than happy to answer my questions.
I am so happy with how the bathroom has turned out - thank you Nu-Trend!
Bathroom photo gallery
This humble property in Five Dock had a small master bathroom that felt really cold as soon as you walked in. The use of black tiling with stark white just gave you the shivers as soon as you walked into the room. There was nothing attractive about the design and maybe in the 1990’s it may have been trendy but in 2021 people want to enjoy a bathroom that feels warm, inviting and comfortable.
We probably don’t have to really write too much about this luxury bathroom renovation project because the two photos above tell the story about how we completely transformed this room using clever interior design and high quality materials.
Nu-Trend was the local renovation contractor chosen to do this complete bathroom renovation by Lon and her partner, we stripped the room completely to the bare floorboards. Usually we wouldn’t do this but for this property the existing sub floor had;
- Poorly installed sheeting
- It was an illegal size that had been used previously
- It wasn’t the right thickness or material that should be used in a bathroom
because we were doing a complete demolition of the room to install underfloor heating and new floor tiling we made the decision with the property owner to upgrade the flooring to use the cement board sheeting. Generally we will try our best to work with the existing framework that is in place but we don’t feel comfortable doing this if we can see it is either illegally installed or not fit for purpose. Sometimes these are unseen variations that can’t be avoided in order to achieve a high quality renovation finish.
This is why so many people in Sydney choose Nu-Trend are their renovation contractor & you can even read Lon’s review below.
Timeframe: The time to complete this type of bathroom renovation is around 2-3 weeks and what can create a variance in the timing is access to the property, delivery of products or any changes made to the design during the build.
Budget: For this complete bathroom renovation which included stripping back the walls & floors was $25,000-$30,000 in labour. The final budget depends on the products chosen for the room, the type of tiles etc. Our scope of work for this renovation included;
- Protection of the property
- Demolition of the old bathroom
- Custom made shower screen
- Bulk head wall fabrication
- Exterior wall repairs & relocation of the entrance door
- Replacing the vanity
- Floor to ceiling tiling
- Hot and cold water rough in
- Electrical rough in
- Fit off fixtures and fittings
- Grouting
- Wall tiling
- Floor tiling
- Waterproofing
- Screeding gradients to correct falls
- Painting
Bathroom design highlights
Wall and floor tiling
Using hte same tile on the floor and wall can create an illusion of space in a bathroom by reducing the number of colours, lines or textures that are visible.
flush fitting wall mounted taps
Mounting taps on a wall with a flush facing can help reduce the use of space and also create a minimalistic look.
Concealed floor waste
One of the unique aspects of every bathroom we renovate is to include a custom made, concealed, floor waste in the shower. Instead of having a large circular drain with unusual cuts made to the floor tiles, we design the floor waste to not only capture the most amount of water, but blend into the floor tiling to give the room a discrete look, similar to what you would experience in a hotel or day spa.
New sub floor installation
As we mentioned earlier we had to completely replace the flooring in this bathroom before we started renovating. What many people don’t realise is that other renovation contractors will skip this step. It is hard to see any underlying issues in a room because they can be hidden by the existing flooring or tiling. So what can happen is that the renovator discovers the problem later than just continues to renovate over the top of it for fear of the owner not wanting work to continue.
We don’t operate like this and we always give the property owner the choice about how to deal with renovation variations. In some situations it can be a legal requirement to have the works completed in a certain way or with specific materials. All the work that Nu-Trend completes is done to current Australian Standards to ensure we can uphold the warranty on the work completed & give you a great bathroom.
If the flooring hasn’t been installed using the right techniques or materials then over time you can have issues with waterproofing or floor movement that can lead to cracks in tiling and other issues.
What products were included in this bathroom renovation?
What is so great about the interior design elements in this bathroom is just how well they work together to create such an inviting space with a luxurious feeling day or night. It’s the combination of great quality products that make this possible which includes the custom made vanity and floor to ceiling tiling.
- Tiles – Tile Mega Mart Pietro Lombarda
- Toilet – Parisi Linfa
- Tapware, Showerhead, Towel Rail & Hooks – Modern National Brushed Nickel (Mirage range)
- Shaving cabinet – ADP
- Vanity – Polytec Black Woodmatt and Caesarstone Organic White Stone Top made by All Style Joinery
The other elements in this interior design included
- Underfloor heating.
- Custom made glass shower screen; the frameless design reduces the visual clutter and is custom made to suit the room vs pre-made fixed shape designs. There are no clumsy tracks or messy frames required just a single sheet of glass that is easy to clean and very safe to use.
- Wall hung vanity unit; this reduces the bulk sitting on the floor and allows your eye to see the floor tiles.
- Custom made shower drain; created using a matching floor tile it blends into the floor and you hardly notice it.
