Our approach
A bathroom renovation is one of the most trade-intensive jobs in the home. Waterproofing, tiling, plumbing, electrical, plastering, painting. And the sequence matters. If waterproofing isn't done before tiling, you'll have problems later. If plumbing isn't roughed in before the plasterer comes, you're ripping walls back out. Getting it right means managing the trades properly, not just booking them and hoping for the best.
Nicon Built manages every trade on every bathroom renovation we take on. The sequence is right, the standard is consistent, and there's one team accountable for the whole job from the day you brief us to the day it's handed over.
In Melbourne's period homes, bathrooms carry their own set of considerations. Original floorboards that need to be worked around. Tiled floors with heritage character worth preserving. Wall thicknesses and structural elements that differ from modern construction. Nicon Built has spent 30 years working inside Melbourne's inner-south housing stock. We know what to look for before anything starts.
Get in touch, tell us what you're after, and we'll come out and have a look. You'll get a straight quote based on what's actually there, not a ballpark that grows once the tiles come off the wall.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A standard bathroom renovation runs two to four weeks depending on scope. An ensuite or laundry upgrade may be quicker. If structural work is involved, it can take longer. Nicon Built provides a realistic timeline based on your specific bathroom after visiting the site.
Why does waterproofing matter so much?
Waterproofing is the most critical part of a bathroom renovation and the most commonly done poorly. If it's not applied correctly to all wet areas, water gets behind the tiles, into the walls, and under the floor. The damage can take years to show up. Nicon Built manages waterproofing as a non-negotiable step on every bathroom renovation.
Do you renovate bathrooms in period homes?
Yes. Period homes have their own quirks inside a bathroom renovation. Original floorboards, older plumbing systems, wall constructions that differ from modern homes. Nicon Built has been working inside Melbourne's period housing stock for 30 years. We know what to expect and how to deal with it.
Can you handle all the trades or do I need to arrange some myself?
Nicon Built handles all of it. Plumbers, tilers, waterproofers, electricians, plasterers, painters. You brief us once. We manage every trade from there.
