Two Rooms, One Bathroom: A Blair Athol Bathroom Renovation Built for Everyday Life

About the Project

Jia wanted a more practical bathroom for her elderly father, so we combined the tired bathroom and separate toilet into one open, modern space. The bathroom renovation in Blair Athol was completed from demolition to handover in just three weeks.

The Objective

Jia wanted a bathroom that worked harder than the one she had. The original layout split a small bathroom and a separate toilet across two rooms, which wasted space and made things awkward for her elderly father. The brief was to modernise the space, improve the layout and make the bathroom safer and more comfortable for him to use day to day. Jia also wanted a large double vanity, a toilet and a dedicated shower area, finished with floor-to-ceiling tiling for a clean, modern look. She came to us because she wanted one bathroom renovation plumber managing the whole project rather than juggling separate trades herself.

Our Approach

1. Strip-Out and Preparation

We completely stripped out the existing bathroom and separate toilet, then opened up the area to create the new L-shaped bathroom layout.

2. Plumbing and Layout

With the space cleared, we set out the new layout and completed the required plumbing and drainage alterations to suit the new bathroom.

3. Building and Waterproofing

We coordinated the carpentry, electrical work, sheeting and waterproofing, making sure each stage was completed in the right order before moving on.

4. Tiling

Once the preparation work was complete, we installed the floor-to-ceiling tiles to create a clean, modern finish throughout the bathroom.

5. Bathroom Fit-Off

We installed the double vanity, toilet, shower fixtures and plumbing fittings, followed by the shower screen, silicone and final fit-off.

6. Final Completion

The complete bathroom renovation was managed from demolition through to handover, giving Jia one point of contact throughout the project.

The Challenges

The main challenge was combining two separate rooms into one functional bathroom while staying inside the existing footprint and working with existing services. The new layout had to comfortably fit a 1200 mm double vanity, a toilet and a dedicated shower area without the room feeling cramped. Careful planning and tight coordination between trades let us make the most of the available space and keep the plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling and fixtures all working with the new layout rather than against it.

The Results

  • Three weeks, start to finish: A full bathroom transformation from demolition to handover in three weeks.
  • More room, same footprint: Two separate spaces combined into one modern, functional bathroom without extending the footprint.
  • A finish worth showing off: Floor-to-ceiling tiling, a large double vanity and a cohesive finish that changed how the whole space feels.

What We’d Do Differently

We would lock in every fixture, fitting, and finishing selection before demolition begins. The project still finished inside three weeks, but having every selection settled from day one makes trade scheduling and coordination even smoother.

Testimonial

“Smart Choice Plumbing recently completed our bathroom renovation and I couldn’t be happier with the result. From the first meeting through to completion, everything was well organised and the end result was everything we hoped for. Everyone who has seen our new bathroom has commented on how good it looks. I really appreciated how respectful Huss and the team was of our home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Smart Choice Plumbing to anyone.”
