Better Layout for Improved Functionality

One of the main reasons to renovate your bathroom is to create a layout that better suits your lifestyle. If your current bathroom feels cramped or awkward, a renovation can optimize the space. Whether it’s repositioning the toilet, moving the sink, or enlarging the shower area, a well-thought-out layout can make your daily routine smoother and more enjoyable.

Updating and Upgrading Sanitaryware and Tapware

Older bathrooms often come with outdated fixtures that are not only unattractive but also less efficient. Upgrading your sanitaryware and tapware during a renovation can improve the functionality and aesthetics of your bathroom. Modern options are more water-efficient, environmentally friendly, and stylish, helping you save on utility bills while adding a touch of luxury to your space. Explore our Product Library for inspiration and access to the latest fixtures and fittings available in New Zealand.

Bigger Shower or Adding a Bath

If you’ve always dreamed of a spacious shower or a relaxing bath, a renovation is the perfect time to make it happen. Expanding the shower area can create a spa-like experience, while adding a bathtub can be a game-changer, especially if you currently don’t have one. A larger shower or the addition of a bath can also increase your Wanaka home’s appeal to future buyers. Need help visualizing these changes?
