Gold Coast Bathroom Remodel

This Armrock Gold Coast bathroom renovation project included remodelling multiple rooms. The outcome is a testament to the results our team is capable of achieving on the Gold Coast QLD. Interested in a renovation for your Gold Coast home? Contact our team today.

Pre-Renovation Situation

Old and worn, it was time to upgrade this bathroom. The vision for this project went beyond the bathroom itself – the remodel also included updating the layout in corresponding rooms, creating new thoroughfares, storage and also a walk-in robe. Here are some pics of the old bathroom:

Post-Remodel Bathroom

The newly remodelled bathroom includes all of the workmanship that Armrock Construction is renowned for. Every detail matters – especially in the vanity, where discreet LED lighting adds to the bathroom ambience.

Walk-In Robe

The walk-in robe provides a superb storage option and also creates new bathroom access as well. This feature provides robust functionality and integration for the bathroom remodel.

Storage Essentials

Storage – can you have too much? The answer is.. never! In the case of this Gold Coast bathroom reno, a new storage solution was created. This solution has greatly improved storage capability, enabling a cleaner interior devoid of clutter.

Shower Upgrades

This shower upgrade includes a heavenly rainwater showerhead, wrap-around tiling, tiled niches, LED lighting, tiled drain, and an effortless semi-frame option for a minimal and sophisticated style.

New Bath Style

This bath is a standout highlight feature of this Gold Coast renovation. Its softly corrugated edge enhances the harmony of the style, with a beautiful LED-lit tiled niche framing the space.

Note the shared corrugation extends to the basins for a unified look.

RENOVATION REVIEW:

I have nothing but praise for Roland and his team at Armrock Constructions who recently completed renovations on two of my bathrooms. From our first contact to the finalisation of both my new bathrooms Roland was nothing but professional, efficient and reliable. The whole job ran like clockwork from start to finish!

Roland has structured his business to make the whole renovation process seamless from directing you straight to suppliers then providing all the professions needed: tilers, plumbers, electricians…..it’s a true one stop shop experience, alleviating many of the stresses of renovating.

Roland’s high standards were evident throughout the whole renovation process, he was dependable, delivered on time and nothing was to much trouble! The whole team provided high quality workmanship resulting in an outstanding renovation.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Roland and his team at Armrock Constructions — you will not be disappointed!!

Pre-Renovation Situation

As you can see, this Gold Coast bathroom was due for an upgrade. Tired features and style, worn by time and usage – this is when we come in to make a difference.

With our complete bathroom renovation team, we can handle layout changes, including all aspects of plumbing, electrical and carpentry work that comes with them.

Toilets

Choosing a toilet in your bathroom renovation project is an opportunity to update the style, functionality and ecological footprint of your interior design. In this article, we take a look at some considerations behind this significant choice – what type of toilet should you include in your bathroom renovation?

Types of Toilets

There are many types of toilets! If you’d like to learn about them all, this website has got an extensive list. When you’re choosing one for your Gold Coast bathroom renovation, you don’t need to know every type of toilet in the world. Ultimately, the choice will depend on your stylistic objectives and budget, but here are the ones you should be aware of:

Close-Coupled Toilet

Close-Coupled Toilet
Close-Coupled Toilet

A close-coupled toilet is probably the toilet you think of, when you think of a toilet. The cistern (where the water is held) is visible above the toilet, and the toilet is not connected to the wall. These toilets come in a wide variety of styles and are one of the least expensive option for modern Australian homes.

Back-to-Wall Toilet

Toilet & Bidet
Toilet & Bidet

This back-to-wall toilet was installed by our team in the renovation of a Gold Coast penthouse – nice! This one works just like the close-coupled toilet, except the unit is flush to the wall, creating a neater and more modern impression.

Wall-Mounted Toilet

Wall-Mounted Cistern
Wall-Mounted Cistern

A wall-mounted toilet is built into the wall, and may be elevated from the floor. The cistern is hidden behind the wall, reducing the footprint of the toilet for a minimal and sleek impression.

Water Ratings

Before you purchase a toilet, it’s a great idea to familiarise yourself with the WELS scheme and the energy, and cost-saving benefits of selecting a toilet that uses less water to flush. The following statistics come from www.waterrating.gov.au and illustrate the savings that can be made in water and money across common bathroom and kitchen fixtures. 

For toilets, the water rating label will tell you how much water is used in an average flush.

Every litre less water that a toilet uses in an average flush, will save a typical family of four nearly 6kL and $17.50 each year in water supply charges.

If this family replaces an old single-flush toilet with a flush volume of 12L with a new 4-star toilet with an average flush volume of 3.5L, this will save 50kL and $148 each year on their water bills.

Assumptions: each family member flushes 4 times per day, at an average water price of $2.99/kL (the national average price reported in the 2014–15 Australian Bureau of Statistics Water Account).

Our team are experienced in optimising bathrooms and their inclusions – We make sure the fundamentals are covered, such as the way doors open and taps operate. In this room, everything you need is easily accessible. It’s a concise bathroom, and this fact is well-communicated by the sharp, contrasted colour scheme.

Simplicity – A Design Principle

In any type of design, elements are combined together to make a result. There is an optimal amount of variation for any design.. too many variations (colours, shapes, sizes) and the design will lose its edge. Designers know that removing elements is just as important as adding them in. To get the best result, a balance needs to be found between what can be added in and what should be left out. The principle of simplicity clarifies this and is best understood by the popular adage, “Less is More”.

When designing your bathroom, it’s great to consider all of thing things you could have, and then reduce these back to all of the things you should have. This bathroom is a great example. With a minimal approach, it’s guaranteed that important boxes are ticked – that relationships are created between elements and that the overall room has an integrated feeling.

Showerhead Detail

Opting for a combo showerhead gives you total control over both how things work and how they look. This showerhead fits perfectly into the bathroom design, with black tones contrasting nicely against the white tiles. We’ve also included a tiled niche in this bathroom which features a black strip to accentuate its position and create a relationship with other elements. It’s a simple, winning style.

Entering The Bathroom

Entering the bathroom, all features & details are visible including the black & white design, the mounted basin, inset tile drains & niche, and everything you need – toilet, vanity & shower compactly presented and ready to use.

Small Bathroom Makeover FAQ

How much does a small bathroom makeover cost?

The cost of a small bathroom makeover depends on variables including whether the structure and plumbing are being moved, the types of tiles selected, the extent of the project, and the fixtures and fittings selected. Our bathroom renovations usually range from $7,000 – $15,000, and we provide a free consultation and quote where we can clarify the costs involved for your project. Talk to our team for more information.

What’s the best way to create a sense of size in a small bathroom?

Creating a sense of size in smaller spaces can be accomplished with colour, layout and fixtures and fittings. The most important consideration is often colour choice, with lighter colours creating a sense of visual extension. Talk to our team for more information.

What are the best tiles to use in a small bathroom?

Tiles are an important aspect of any bathroom renovation from the point of view of aesthetics and functionality. Tiling can be done in many ways, but the relationship between tile size and room size is critical to achieving a well-balanced design. Depending on the shape of the room, square or rectangular tiles may be deployed for a more sympathetic style, and oversized tiles sometimes need more room to work with to realise their effect.

Shower Location – Stay or Move?

Shower Shapes & Sizes
Shower Shapes & Sizes

Showers are an essential inclusion in any bathroom renovation project. They also occupy a considerable amount of space in the bathroom. This becomes more apparent in a smaller bathroom. In a bathroom renovation, an early question to ask is whether the location of the shower is going to change or not. Such a move will almost certainly impact other key bathroom fixtures such as the vanity and toilet. This will take you from a renovation (refreshing the existing space) to a remodel (changing everything around). Our team is equipped to assist either way. We can also help you understand the considerations around any such move, such as plumbing or electrical, and help you find the best solution to suit your objectives and budget.

Shower Functionality

Regardless of the location of the shower, its important to ensure it will be functionally sound. That it can be accessed, and that the door can open easily and safely. That drainage is properly managed. That waterproofing measures are undertaken. Showers involve many aspects, and getting the best outcome for your Gold Coast bathroom renovation is best accomplished by working with professionals who are dedicated to achieving great results. With over 300 bathroom renovations under our belts, our team is ready to help ensure your new shower is functionally sound and ready for use.

Shower Shape and Size

A design challenge: a shower is unlike most other bathroom features. It’s tall and vertical, whereas other bathroom elements are short and horizontal. Here, we look at how shower shapes and sizes can be utilised to help your shower fit into the bathroom.

Shower Heads

The shower head is a key consideration in your bathroom renovation. Factors to consider include your budget, the style you’re going for, efficiency ratings, availability of components, the existing structure, and of course, the right renovation company for a successful result.

Shower Storage – A Tiled Niche

Don’t make it an afterthought.. you will be needing somewhere to store that soap and shampoo, and while there isn’t anything wrong with retro-fitting a holder, you may consider a more integrated look with an Armrock Constructions tiled bathroom niche – a suave design touch that adds visual value as well as creating a permanent place to store items.

Relocating Your Shower

A bathroom reno is a great opportunity to relocate your shower. Because the shower and the vanity are the main components in a typical bathroom, moving them around can create dynamic new interiors over which you have total control. But there are a few things to keep in mind!

Building Your Shower In
