Custom Bathroom Design Canberra

It suits you if the room you have fails in a way you can name. The vanity sits where the door wants to swing. There is nowhere to put anything down. The shower is where the bath should be, or the bath is taking the floor a proper shower needs. Or you simply want a finish no packaged renovation offers.

Custom covers every style we are asked for, modern, classic or vintage, and every size from a powder room to a large ensuite. It is not automatically the expensive option. A lot of custom work keeps the existing plumbing where it is and spends the effort on the details instead: the width of the vanity, the height of the niche, where the tile cuts fall. Moving the plumbing is a separate decision with its own cost, and we tell you plainly which side of that line your design is on.

• The layout comes first. The shape of the room decides where the vanity, shower, toilet and bath can sensibly go, so that is where we start. Every element has to fit with room to move around it.
• Materials are chosen for how they wear. Tile, stone, timber and glass each cost differently, clean differently and age differently, and each gives the room a different feel. Our tiles and materials guide compares them one by one.
• The tiling is part of the design. Our own crew lays the tile you chose, so the set-out - where the cuts land, how the pattern meets the niche - is planned before the first tile goes on. More on that on our tiling services page.
• The extras go in while the walls are open. A heated towel rail, a steam shower, a statement bath, a shower niche sized to what you actually keep in it, light where you need it at the mirror, and an exhaust fan that clears the room.
• Joinery is made to measure where a stock vanity would leave dead space. It is ordered to your measurements with a lead time of two to four weeks, so it is ordered as early as the design allows.

Oleg runs every job himself, from the first visit to handover. You deal with the owner throughout.

• Who uses the room, and when. Two adults getting ready at once need a different room from one person with the morning to themselves.
• Whether the fixtures stay where they are. Keeping the toilet and the shower in their current positions is the biggest saving available. Moving them in a slab-on-ground house means cutting the concrete, which adds two to four days to the job.
• A direction rather than a product list. A few photographs of rooms you like tell us more than a list of brands. Our guide to choosing a bathroom design helps you find the words for it.
• Your must-haves and your nice-to-haves, written down separately. The quote can then price both, and you choose with the numbers in front of you.

The quickest way to answer most of this is to build the room in our instant quote designer and send it. We receive the layout and the product list; no price appears on screen, and the quote comes from us in writing after a site inspection.

A custom bathroom follows the same order as every renovation we do: a free measure and a written, itemised quote, then design and planning, then the build. The whole sequence, and the handover pack you receive at the end, is set out on our bathroom renovations page.
