Bathroom renovations in St Albans
St Albans is one of the largest established suburbs in Melbourne’s west, and the housing reflects it — street after street of post-war and 1960s to 1970s homes, many still on their original bathroom. We work here constantly, and the same issues come up: a small bathroom with the toilet in a separate room, tiling that stops partway up the wall, and waterproofing that either failed years ago or was never there to begin with.
The opportunity in a St Albans bathroom is usually space. Removing the wall between the old separate toilet and the bathroom, or pushing into an adjoining linen press, frequently turns a cramped room into something that works properly — often without touching the roofline or the external walls. That is a carpentry and plumbing question as much as a design one, and we hold both licences in-house.
What we find in older St Albans homes
Homes of this era are commonly brick veneer on a concrete slab, with cast iron or early copper waste lines. Once we strip back, the usual finds are perished membrane, rotted framing where a shower has leaked into a wall for years, and pipework that has narrowed enough to affect flow. None of it is unusual and none of it is a disaster — but it is why a cosmetic refresh over the top of the old work is money badly spent.
