About Us

Gold Coast Bathroom Renovations Built by Licensed Builders

Build On Renovations is a licensed renovation builder working across the Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales. We are not a tiling crew that subcontracts the rest. We hold a Queensland builder licence, a New South Wales builder licence and full insurance, and we manage every trade on your job ourselves.

That matters for bathrooms more than almost any other room. Your plumber, waterproofer, electrician, tiler and cabinetmaker have to arrive in the right order on the right day. When one company books all of them, your bathroom gets finished. When you book them yourself, you wait.

We handle full bathroom renovations, small bathroom renovations, ensuites, luxury bathrooms and apartment bathrooms in high-rise buildings. Every job gets a written scope, a fixed price and one person you can call.

Our Bathroom Services

Bathroom Renovation Services Across the Gold Coast

Complete bathroom renovation with stone tiles and wall-hung toilet, Gold Coast

Complete Bathroom Renovations

Full strip-out to the frame and a new bathroom built from the substrate up. New waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tiling, joinery and fit-off. This is our most requested job and the one that adds the most value to a Gold Coast home.

Small bathroom renovation with wall-hung vanity, frameless shower screen and matte black tapware, Palm Beach Gold Coast

Small Bathroom Renovations

Small bathrooms need better planning, not less. A wall-hung vanity, a floor-to-ceiling tile in a large format, a clear glass screen instead of a shower curtain and a niche instead of a caddy will make a three-square-metre room feel twice the size.

Luxury bathroom renovation with feature tiling, stone benchtop and custom timber joinery, Currumbin Gold Coast

Luxury Bathroom Renovations

Stone benchtops, custom joinery, freestanding baths, feature tiling and full height frameless glass. Luxury bathroom renovations on the Gold Coast are usually about detail rather than size.

Modern bathroom renovation with wall-hung vanity, large format tiles and brushed brass tapware, Main Beach Gold Coast

Modern Bathroom Renovations

Clean lines, large format tiles, matte black or brushed brass tapware, wall-hung vanities and frameless glass. Modern bathroom renovations rely on a tight tile set-out and level substrates, which is exactly where cheap jobs come undone.

Ensuite renovation with walk-in shower, frameless glass screen and LED mirror, Palm Beach Gold Coast

Ensuite Renovations

Ensuites are tight, often shower only, and frequently share a wall with a bedroom. That makes waterproofing detail and acoustic separation more important, not less. We handle ensuite renovations as standalone jobs or alongside a main bathroom.

Apartment bathroom renovation with wall-hung vanity and walk-in shower, Palm Beach Gold Coast

Apartment and Unit Bathroom Renovations

High-rise and low-rise apartment bathrooms across Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Southport. We manage the body corporate application, the work hour restrictions and the lift access so your neighbours stay happy and your job stays approved.

Built for the Climate

Bathrooms Built for Gold Coast Conditions

Salt Air and Tapware

☸If you live within about a kilometre of the surf, standard electroplated finishes can pit and spot within a few years. In beachside suburbs like Mermaid Beach, Palm Beach, Currumbin and Tugun, we recommend PVD-coated tapware and 316 grade stainless fixings for anything exposed. It costs a little more up front and saves a full refit later.

Humidity and Ventilation

≋Subtropical humidity means a bathroom that dries slowly will grow mould, no matter how well it is tiled. Two rules we never break. The exhaust fan is sized to the room, and it is ducted outside the building, not into the roof cavity. Venting into the roof just moves the moisture problem somewhere you cannot see it.

Older Gold Coast Housing Stock

⌂A lot of Gold Coast bathrooms were built between the 1970s and the early 1990s. Many have no compliant membrane, only a thin bituminous coat or none at all. Some have chipboard flooring that has already softened. We open up the floor before we quote the final scope so you find out early, not halfway through.

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a bathroom renovation cost on the Gold Coast?

Bathroom renovation costs vary depending on the size of the bathroom, the level of finishes, and the complexity of the project. A simple renovation that keeps the existing layout is generally more cost-effective, while changing the floor plan, relocating plumbing, or selecting premium fixtures and custom cabinetry will increase the overall investment.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Three to five weeks on site for a standard bathroom, plus two to four weeks beforehand for design, selections and ordering. Waterproofing needs cure time that cannot be rushed, and shower screens are made to measure after the tiling is finished, so those two stages set the minimum length of any honest schedule.

Do I need council approval to renovate a bathroom in Queensland?

Usually not. If you are replacing fixtures and finishes inside the existing room without changing the structure or the building footprint, development approval is generally not required. You do still need licensed trades, compliant waterproofing and a Form 4 lodged with the QBCC for notifiable plumbing work. If you are moving walls or windows, that can change, and we will tell you at the quote stage.

Do I need a licensed builder for a bathroom renovation?

A licensed builder is generally required for bathroom renovation work that falls under Queensland’s licensing requirements. Plumbing and waterproofing must also be completed by appropriately licensed trades to meet current building standards. Working with qualified professionals helps ensure the renovation complies with applicable regulations and industry requirements.

Can I still live at home during the renovation?

Yes, if you have a second bathroom. If it is your only bathroom, you will be without it for the full build, so most clients arrange somewhere else to shower or plan the job around a time they are away. We seal the work area, run dust protection and keep the rest of the house liveable.
