We recently completed a stunning bathroom renovation project in Bentleigh, transforming two tired bathrooms into sleek, modern spaces designed for daily comfort and long-term durability. This project combined functional design with high-end finishes, delivering two bathrooms that offer style, usability, and lasting value for the homeowners.
From the start, our clients had a clear vision — to create modern bathrooms with quality materials, improved layout, and a touch of unique design. Our team got to work by completely stripping the existing bathrooms back to their structural base and preparing them for a full rebuild, starting with waterproofing. Every wet area was treated by our licensed waterproofers, ensuring these rooms meet Melbourne’s highest building standards and remain protected against moisture damage for years to come.
Large-format marble tiles were chosen to give both bathrooms a luxurious and open feel. These tiles were installed across floors and walls, reducing grout lines and creating a seamless visual finish. Their natural texture and soft colour variations add a refined touch while making the rooms feel larger and brighter.
Both bathrooms feature generous 1200x900mm shower cabins, built with tiled floors and frameless glass panels. The walk-in showers provide ample space, excellent drainage, and a clean, open design that suits the needs of modern living. With no bath included in either bathroom, the layout allows for easier movement and minimal cleaning.
Custom-made 900mm vanities were installed in each space, offering a perfect balance of functionality and style. These vanities were designed to complement the Japanese tiling and include quality fittings, stone benchtops, and deep storage drawers. Positioned under wall-mounted cabinet with mirrors, they also enhance the sense of space and light within each room.
A standout feature of this Bentleigh renovation is the use of Japanese ocean wave dark green tiles on one wall in each shower area. These textured tiles bring depth and colour into the space, creating a beautiful contrast with the surrounding light grey tiling. It’s a feature that adds personality and elegance without overpowering the minimalist design of the bathrooms.
To tie the look together, we installed black metal fixtures throughout both bathrooms. From tapware and shower heads to towel rails and accessories, the matte black finish provides a sharp, modern touch that complements the overall colour palette. These elements were chosen for their durability as well as their ability to enhance the clean lines of the space.
One bathroom includes a beautiful set of French doors leading directly outside. This unique feature brings in an abundance of natural light and ventilation while offering a rare indoor-outdoor experience in a bathroom setting. The other bathroom includes both a large and small window, allowing for soft natural light to filter in throughout the day while maintaining privacy.
The lighting was upgraded with recessed LED downlights, and modern exhaust systems were installed to improve airflow and minimise humidity. Tiled wall niches were built into the showers to offer practical storage without interrupting the visual design. Power points were installed discreetly near the vanities to suit everyday needs.
This bathroom renovation project in Bentleigh was delivered on time and on budget, with our team managing every aspect from demolition to final clean. The homeowners were thrilled with the result — two bathrooms that not only look exceptional but are built to last, with every detail carefully considered and professionally executed.
