Bathrooms
The hardest room in the house to get right.
Complete bathroom renovations across Western Australia — demolition through to final grout, by one team.
Every surface has to shed water.
A bathroom asks more of a trade than any other room. Every junction has to stay sealed, every fall has to run to the waste, and every line is visible from a metre away in good light.
It rewards preparation and punishes shortcuts — usually about two years later, in the corner nobody can reach without removing the vanity.
Six stages, in order.
- 01
Strip-out
The old room comes out and the waste goes with it. Everything behind the surfaces gets looked at while it is open.
- 02
Rectification
Whatever the strip-out finds — failed membranes, unsupported sheeting, out-of-plumb walls — is corrected now, not tiled over.
- 03
Screed
Falls are set from the waste and the finished floor level, then worked to a straight edge so water actually goes where it should.
- 04
Waterproofing
Continuous membrane across the wet area, reinforced at junctions, sealed at penetrations, and left to cure before anything covers it.
- 05
Tiling
Set out first: full tiles where they matter, cuts balanced, joints lined through, niches and corners resolved on paper before they are cut.
- 06
Finishing
Grout packed and cleaned, silicone where the surface needs to move, and a room handed back that is ready to use.
From waterproofed to finished.

Try it on the room.
Pick a surface, then a finish. It is a quick way to work out what you like before anyone measures anything.
A visual guide only. Finishes are representative swatches, not specific products, and on-screen colour will not match a physical sample.
Before you ask.
- How long does a bathroom renovation take?
- It depends on the size of the room and what the strip-out uncovers. The sequence itself is fixed — strip-out, rectification, screed, waterproofing and its cure time, tiling, then finishing — and the waterproofing cure is not something that can be compressed.
- Do you do the whole bathroom or only the tiling?
- Kabura carries the room from demolition and preparation through to the final grout and silicone, including screeding and wet-area waterproofing.
- Can you work with tiles I have already chosen?
- Yes. Tell us the tile, the format and the finish and the set-out is planned around what you have selected.
- What happens if you find a problem behind the old tiles?
- We tell you what we found and what it will take to fix before we go any further. Covering it back up is not a repair.
