Our 300th Gold Coast Bathroom Renovation!

300 Gold Coast bathroom renovation is a significant milestone for the Armrock team.

On this page we take a close look at our 300th renovation project – a suitably magnificent bathroom overlooking a Gold Coast golf course!

Pre-Renovation Pictures

Before we arrived, this Gold Coast bathroom was looking pretty dated. With decor over 40 years old, it was definitely time for out with the old, in with the new.

New Bathroom Overview

This Gold Coast bathroom has a view!

As you can see, this is not just any bathroom. It’s appropriate that our 300th bathroom should be completed with a signature project. This renovation included the removal of a diving wall (to make one large bathroom), the addition of a new walkway to the walk-in wardrobe, a new window opening for natural light and golf course views (of course!), a wall-hung vanity in a new location, an in-wall cistern toilet, and 600x600mm concrete-look porcelain tiles. The centrepiece is the beautiful freestanding bath. What more could anyone ask for?

Packed with Features, Built with Integrity

Integrity & Integration for renovation success.

This bathroom includes many of the features that Armrock Constructions is known for. A custom vanity unit featuring dual mixers and mounted round-cornered basins, floor-wall tiling and the maximisation of available space for an impactful effect. The integrity of the workmanship underpins all aspects of this beautiful Gold Coast bathroom renovation. We work with pride, and it is showcased in this project.

Exterior View – with a Golf Course!

Relax & take in the action!

Ok, so the really cool thing about this bathroom is that you can enjoy a nice bath while taking in some golf. This is really taking living to the next level! Discrete gardens ensure privacy from the links, ensuring bathroom activities do not distract anyone from attaining a birdie!

Toilet & Shower

The in-wall cistern keeps things concise.

With beautiful concrete-look porcelain tiles wrapping all the way around this bathroom, it’s an immersive experience to enter and use the facilities. Check out the frameless shower and the way it creates an expansive sense of space in the room. This is multiplied by the in-wall cistern which enables the toilet to act minimally.

Double Custom Bathroom Vanity

Double-basin custom vanity unit

This vanity features a timber-look laminate for a light, natural feel in the room. This type of laminate easily integrates with the concrete-look tiles, as well as a variety of other different finishes for floors and walls. In this bathroom, it directly receives the natural light via the large window and creates a relationship with the natural green tones happening outside. Meanwhile, with a stone benchtop and double basins, there is plenty of room for everyone when its time to brush your teeth!

Walk-in Wardrobe

In this photo you can see the walk-in wardrobe adjacent to the bathroom. We’ve matched the tiling throughout for a continuous look. This addition creates plenty of storeroom, conveniently located right next door to the bathroom.

Freestanding Bathtub

When it’s time for a soak.. this luxurious freestanding bathtub is a feature of this room. As natural light spills in, it’s like being transported to a resort in another country. Take note of the discrete tile-insert drain, which keeps the continuity of the wrap-around concrete-look tiles going through the room.

Tiled Bathroom Niches

Armrock Constructions specialises in bathroom renovations on the Gold Coast QLD. A tiled niche is a great addition to a bathroom that adds functional value to the design. In our recent Gold Coast bathroom renovations, we’re finding tiled bathroom niches to be a popular addition. In this article we’re going to explore this option, with examples from our projects. 

What is a “Niche”? 

Bath with Hexagonal Tiled Niche
Bath with Hexagonal Tiled Niche

A ‘niche’, ‘cavity’ or ‘recess’ is a step into the wall that basically works as a shelf. In a shower, this shelf may hold common items like shampoo and soap. A niche is a built-in attribute that forms a sturdy and practical shelf on which to place items. 

Advantages to a Bathroom Niche

Niches perform the function of storing items in bathroom walls, but they’re not the only solution. Other popular methods include:

  1. Built-in niche
  2. Built-in shelf
  3. Removable holder / shelf

Niches have advantages over all of these. Unlike a shelf, niches don’t extrude – they’re set into the wall. Temporary solutions, on the other hand, are either hung or fixed with suction caps. Despite manufacturing promises, these plummet to the ground at the most inopportune moments, sending soap and shampoo flying – or coffee and beer, when misused by certain family members who insist on consuming these while showering.

LED Illumination

A popular trend is LED-illuminated niches, as can be seen from this recent bathroom project. These offer a designer-flavour to your Gold Coast bathroom and are a fantastic complement to Armrock’s tiled niches. Because our team includes all of the bathroom renovation trades, our builder-led team can handle your tiling, your tiled niche, and your LED illumination – as well as everything else too.

Types of Bathroom Niches

Bathroom niches come in three variants – prefabricated units, custom-made niches, and tiled bathroom niches. Prefabricated niches are purchased ready-made and come in a variety of designs. Custom-made niches are made to order. Tiled bathroom niches are a custom-made niche that’s made with tiles. 

Tiled Bathroom Niche Design

First and foremost, the advantage of a tiled-bathroom niche is in the design. It’s an opportunity to create depth and interest in the bathroom. The niche itself makes a design contribution, which can be enhanced by the type of tiles used. These may be the same as the rest of the wall or a subtle, or significant contrast can be created. 

There is also the opportunity to echo themes present elsewhere in the bathroom. 

In the above example of our Gold Coast renovation work (Hexagonal Tiled Bathroom Niche) we’ve used hexagonal tiles within the niche which reflect the same pattern on the feature wall for repetition and continuity:

Tiled niches are fast becoming an Armrock signature. They’re a popular, practical option. A tiled niche creates a feature from an everyday item and because the niche is drawn from the same tiles as rest of the wall, an inherent compatibility is created so that the feature comes from the wall and is of the wall. 

That means the niche looks like it was meant to be there, while at the same time giving more interest to the bathroom as a whole. 

Niche Location Options

Tiled niches can be placed anywhere they are useful in the bathroom. We generally install them within the shower or next to the bath specifically for the purpose of holding shampoo, soaps, sponges and other bathing accessories. 

Tiled Shower Niches

Tiled shower niches create interesting effects. Set into the grid created by the existing tiling, the result is three dimensional. Even when the same tiles are used, as is the case in this example, the tiled shower niche makes for a more visually interesting impression.

Bathroom Laundry Renovation

Often renovation projects extend beyond one room to a combination project. Tackling your renovation as a combination project has benefits, which we discuss on this page. In this particular job we renovated a combination bathroom & laundry which is a common undertaking for our team. This project achieved great results for our clients, who can now enjoy their amazing new bathroom and fabulous new laundry! Talk to our team about your bathroom renovation – we’re looking forward to hearing from you.

Project Highlights

In this bathroom and laundry renovation, highlights include the custom vanity, custom cabinetry, and LED lighting that transforms the room into something exceptional.

Benefits of Combination Renovations

There are two main benefits to tackling your renovations as combination projects. Firstly, you’re getting everything done in one go. Bathroom renovation can be intrusive, and successful planning means minimising how long the team needs to be on site for. Also, it’s more efficient to tackle two (or more) rooms at the same time, because the work can be streamlined much better than taking the work on separately.

Excellent workmanship. Professional, on time. Easy to deal with.

Graham Robertson

Roland renovated both the Ensuite & main bathroom, removing the walls around separate toilets which increased the overall spaces. The team of guys who did the demolition & construction were really easy to deal with & the finish is excellent. It was no problem for us to request minor changes along the way. We’re really pleased with the outcome & would thoroughly recommend.

Al Dobie

Roland and his team were fantastic. The work was done on time and of a very high standard. Cheers Roland.

Shayna Kivlins

Highly recommend your company to anyone wanting an amazing and highly professional job done your attention to detail with our kitchen was 120% you were very helpful in all aspects from start to finish and the end product exceeded my expectations. You are a very talented guy and I can’t thank you, Luke the sparkie and Chris the plumber enough for making my kitchen dream come to life.

 

Keith Munday

Very pleased with a very professional job completed by Roland and his team. Roland never failed to turn up when expected or respond to a message if he was unable to take a call. He was also helpful and patient while we changed our minds repeatedly about what we wanted. We’re getting him back to do the kids bathroom!

 

Andrew Watkins

Roland and his team were very professional and affordable. We had two bathrooms and a laundry renovated by Armrock Constructions and we couldn’t be happier. Would definitely recommend them.

Small Reno Testimonial

I don’t often write reviews but felt this time I had too. A huge thank you to Roland from Armrock constructions. From the first time I contacted Roland he could not have been more helpful and professional. Roland was on time, got the job done and left my home clean and tidy. Please if your wanting a small spruce up or a full reno done these are the people to call. Thanks once again Armrock.

Richard Anyos

Good, friendly, prompt, reliable service with attention to detail.

Joel Boniwell

The moment I contacted the owner Roland I was at ease with proceeding with this company. Not only does he come across as a genuine person, he is punctual and sticks to his word. He had everything organised and the renovation of my en-suite went exactly as planned and the quote was spot on. The tradesman he organised for the job are all extremely punctual and extremely qualified at their specific trades. I can’t give this company a stronger recommendation and will be sure to use Roland and his team for any future renovations. A+ Service in an industry that you will seldom find it in.

Lucy Fisher

Great communication, good attention to detail. We were so impressed. Our new ensuite looks amazing!

 

Cameron

Roland from Armrock constructions has completed a few projects for our company and is always a pleasure to deal with. Always reliable, not like some tradies we have chosen in the past. Quality is something Roland strives for and it shows in his work. Would recommend to anyone.

 

Terry Christo

We had the pleasure of dealing with Roland and his team. They are professional courteous clean and most importantly excellent communicators during the process. Their workmanship and pride in achieving an excellent result is a breath of fresh air when dealing with trades people. I highly recommend them.

Cameron Grant Ruksenas

Great service from the owner Roland. Nothing was a problem and service and price was reasonable! Will recommend to others.

 

Matt Lyons

Attention to detail. Great finish. Highly recommend these guys!

 

Reiner Ebenhoch

Armrock Constructions did our powder room first. We were so impressed with their work that we contracted Armrock to do a minor reno to our master bathroom and a major renovation of our guest bath room, which also included the complete rebuilt and conversion of one room into a steam room. Again, Armrock did an excellent job! What sets Roland and his team apart is their customer focus, their uncompromising attitude to quality, integrity and customer satisfaction. We can recommend Roland and his team unconditionally and have so already to many of our friends!

Renovation Testimonial

From quote to completion, Armrock was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier. Hassle free and on budget. If you’re after attention to detail you’ve come to the right place. Highly recommended. Thanks again.

 

Mark & Di Branks

Roland delivered an exceptional product. Our Bathroom upgrade was completed on time and to budget. As with most renovations there were a number of unforeseen issues and Rolands ability to offer practical, cost effective solutions was exceptional. A very professional, clean and tidy builder and we have no hesitation in recommending his services.
