Q: What's
involved in upgrading a Bathroom?
A: At Reno-vateIT we don't skim over old no-compliant work with new
tiling, take your money and run!
We strip out the bathroom, removing old wall and floor tiling and some wall sheeting. Often finding the need to replace rotted plates and studs, due to no or inadequate waterproofing. We replace plumbing as needed to upgrade tapware or relocate fixtures. Install any new electrical cabling for GPO's, switches, lights or fans. Then re-sheet walls install underlay if timber/particleboard floor and then waterproof to comply with Aust. Standards.
After a minimum of 3 days drying time for waterproofing we install new fixtures and re-tile with your selection of tiles. Install new W.C. suite, tapware, bathroom fittings, shower screen and install any electrical fittings required. Using currently compliant 3 and 4 star rated products as required.
Q: How long
does it take to properly renovate a Bathroom/W.C. or Ensuite?
A: It takes a minimum of 2 weeks with proper drying times (some
quote less than this, but their tiling over wet waterproofing) it
then takes around another week to install the shower screen because
it can't be accurately measured until the tiled hob or recess is
complete plus manufacturing time.
