Get Renovate HandbookA classic villa gets a modern bathroom, laundry and exterior makeover in Hamilton East, Waikato
For a property built in 1910, this Hamilton East villa was in great shape. But the bathroom and laundry area were lacking in the modern-day amenities department.
New Bathroom Renovation in Hamilton East
Project support and guidance
Ian was happy with the concept designs and was keen to move forward. There wasn’t a strict timeline in place but, considering bathrooms are an essential facility, Ian wanted the project executed as quickly as possible. Mark estimated the bathroom renovation would take between four and six weeks.
Unpleasant surprises
Luckily, Mark, Murray, and the team were keen to do things properly and brought this discovery to Ian’s attention. They discussed the options and decided that in order to move forward safely, the framing had to be replaced. Ian wasn’t thrilled about spending the extra time and money but he appreciated the teams’ integrity and wanted it done right.

Getting back on track
10 weeks and $89,500 later, Ian’s renovation was complete. The new walk-in shower features floor-to-ceiling stone tiles in an earthy tone that brings an air of sophistication and modernity to the space. Just outside the updated bathroom, the compact laundry area includes a basin, concealed storage, bench space with power points and a built-in washer/dryer combo.
Final Thoughts
The rotting framing that was ignored by the previous builders (or owner) is a prime example of how things can go wrong during a renovation, but Mark’s professionalism and quick thinking proves that having a good team behind you is how you make things go right.
