Bathroom Renovation: Tradie Guide

Bathroom Renovation
Tradie Guide

A bathroom renovation is one of the most rewarding home upgrades you can do – it’s where function meets beauty, and a well-designed space can completely transform your daily routine. But behind every stunning bathroom is a team of skilled professionals who bring it all together. From demolition to the final coat of paint, each stage requires a specialist to ensure your renovation is done safely, professionally, and to the highest standard.

How Hipages can help

 

We’ve partnered with hipages to make finding trusted tradespeople easier than ever. Whether you're giving your ensuite a luxe upgrade or completely reconfiguring your main bathroom, hipages connects you with qualified local tradies to help bring your vision to life.

Here’s a breakdown of the trades you might need for a bathroom reno – and how to find them.

Plumber

 

Your plumber is one of the first trades on site and one of the most essential. They’ll disconnect old fixtures, reroute pipes if your layout is changing, and install new tapware, toilets, showers, and bathtubs.

Tip: It’s a great idea to lock in your plumber early and work closely with them when choosing fittings to ensure everything is compatible and installed correctly.

Electrician

 

From power points and lighting to underfloor heating and exhaust fans, your electrician will handle everything electrical. They’ll do the rough-in work early in the reno and return later for the fit-off stage.

With today's focus on mood lighting and tech-forward features like heated mirrors and smart switches, a good electrician can really elevate your space.

Tiler

 

Tiles are the star of most bathrooms – whether you're going for marble, terrazzo, or matte-finish ceramics. A skilled tiler will ensure perfect grout lines, waterproofing integrity, and a flawless finish that lasts.

Waterproofing is often done by your tiler or a dedicated waterproofing expert, so be sure to check their credentials and certifications.

Carpenter

 

If you’re installing custom vanities, shaving cabinets, or adding structural changes like niche walls or new doors, a carpenter will be your go-to. They also handle things like installing architraves, skirtings, and trims.

Painter

 

The final step! Once all the trades have done their bit, a painter will come in to add the finishing touches – fresh walls, ceilings, and any feature accents you've planned. Always go for mould-resistant paint designed specifically for wet areas.

Bathroom Designer (Optional)

 

If you're not sure where to start or how to bring your ideas together, working with a bathroom designer or interior designer can help you make the most of your space. They’ll take into account layout, lighting, colours, and materials to create a cohesive design.
