Our Renovations Process

Designing a Bathroom with Mainline

At Mainline Bathroom Renovations, we believe that great design is the foundation of a successful bathroom renovation. Our design process is centred on collaboration, creativity, and craftsmanship – a tailor-made solution to create a space that not only meets your functional needs but also reflects your personal style. Here’s how we bring your dream bathroom to life:

1

Initial Consultation

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your ideas, preferences, and goals for the renovation. During this meeting, we assess your current bathroom layout, understand your requirements, and identify any specific challenges or opportunities. Whether you have a clear vision or need inspiration, we’re here to guide you.

Design Concept Development

Based on our initial discussions, we develop a design concept that aligns with your vision and lifestyle. This stage includes selecting materials, fixtures, and finishes that suit your taste and budget. We create detailed sketches or 3D renderings to help you visualize the new space, ensuring that every element—from layout to lighting—is thoughtfully planned.

3

Budget Planning

Transparency and communication are key to a successful renovation. We work closely with you to establish a budget that covers all aspects of the design, materials, and labour. Our goal is to maximize the value of your investment by delivering a stunning bathroom that stays within your financial parameters.

4

Refinement & Approval

Once the initial design and budget are in place, we review the plan with you in detail. This provides clients the opportunity to make any adjustments or refinements. We welcome your feedback and ensure that every aspect of the design meets your expectations before moving forward with your bathroom renovation project.

5

Coordinate Trades & Suppliers

As a full-service renovation company, we coordinate with all necessary trades and suppliers to bring your design to life. From plumbing and electrical work to carpentry and tiling, our team ensures that every element of the project is executed to the highest standard. We handle the logistics, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

6

Final Design & Construction

With your approval, we finalise the design and begin the construction phase. Throughout the renovation, we maintain clear communication, keeping you informed of progress and any potential changes. Our attention to detail ensures that the finished bathroom not only looks amazing but functions perfectly for years to come.

Quality Assurance & Handover

Before we consider the project complete, we conduct a thorough quality check to ensure that every detail meets our rigorous standards. Once we’re confident that the bathroom is flawless, we walk you through the space to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Demolition is the first crucial step in any bathroom renovation project. It involves safely and efficiently removing existing fixtures, tiles, walls, and sometimes even plumbing and electrical components to make way for new installations.

  4. Clean-Up: All debris is collected and prepared for disposal, ensuring the site is left clean and ready for the next stage of renovation.

If your bathroom contains asbestos materials, it’s essential to have them safely removed by certified professionals. Asbestos removal is critical for your safety and compliance with health and building regulations.
