When you choose HRE OZ for your bathroom renovations in Essendon, you get a complete start-to-finish service managed under one roof. From the initial design concept to the final handover, our team ensures everything runs smoothly — with no hidden surprises.
Our renovation process starts with a detailed design consultation. We’ll help you visualise your ideal bathroom layout, fixtures, and finishes, considering factors like lighting, ventilation, accessibility, and available space. This step also ensures compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and VBA bathroom waterproofing standards (AS 3740:2021).
Before your new bathroom takes shape, we carry out full strip outs, including the safe removal of old tiles, fittings, and fixtures. All debris is properly disposed of in accordance with City of Moonee Valley waste management regulations.
Our licensed trades handle all plumbing and electrical tasks, including new water lines, drainage adjustments, underfloor heating, lighting, and exhaust systems. Each installation complies with AS/NZS 3500 Plumbing and Drainage Standards and AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules for safety and efficiency.
Every renovation includes certified waterproofing using AS 3740-compliant membranes, followed by precision tiling for walls, floors, and splashbacks. We work with ceramic, porcelain, stone, and mosaic tiles — ensuring both durability and visual appeal.
From custom cabinetry to structural framing and screeding, our team takes care of every detail. We use moisture-resistant materials and quality joinery for long-lasting results that perform well in Melbourne’s variable climate.
Once the groundwork is complete, we handle the installation of all fixtures — vanities, mirrors, bathtubs, shower screens, and fittings. We ensure every piece aligns with your design vision and is installed with precision to meet Australian standards.
We believe a smooth renovation starts with clear communication and ends with a high-quality finish that stands the test of time. Our process is structured to ensure transparency, precision, and accountability at every stage — from concept to completion.
Every bathroom renovation in Essendon begins with a free, on-site consultation. Our builder personally visits your home to assess the existing bathroom layout, discuss your ideas, and identify potential improvements. This allows us to provide accurate guidance on feasibility, council requirements, and local building codes relevant to Essendon properties.
Once we understand your goals, we help you visualise the new space through layout sketches or 3D renders (if requested). You’ll receive practical advice on fixture selection, tiling, lighting, and materials — all chosen to align with your budget, style, and maintenance expectations.
We prepare a transparent, itemised quote with fixed inclusions — no hidden extras. Our quote covers design, demolition, trades, materials, waterproofing, and installation. Once approved, the project schedule is finalised, ensuring clear timelines and accountability.
Our in-house trades handle most renovation stages, from plumbing and waterproofing to tiling and joinery. When specialised subcontractors are required (for example, licensed electricians or glaziers), we coordinate them directly to maintain quality and compliance. All trades are licensed under the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) and insured to meet Australian building standards.
After construction, we complete a detailed quality inspection covering waterproofing integrity, fixture alignment, electrical safety, and finish consistency. Once approved, we hand over your new bathroom along with our standard workmanship warranty and maintenance guidance — ensuring long-term confidence in every detail.

Whether it’s a compact apartment or a large family home, our bathroom renovations are designed for comfort, functionality, and long-term value.
Essendon has many heritage homes and apartment complexes where space is limited. Our small bathroom renovations maximise every square metre with smart layouts, wall-mounted vanities, mirrored storage, and walk-in showers. The goal — more usable space without sacrificing style.
Inspired by Melbourne’s contemporary home design trends, our modern bathrooms feature frameless glass showers, matte fittings, LED lighting, and minimalist tiling. Each design combines practical features with a sleek, low-maintenance finish that suits the modern Essendon lifestyle.
For property owners or landlords upgrading rentals in the Essendon area, we provide cost-effective solutions using reliable Australian-standard fixtures. By reusing existing plumbing layouts and recommending durable, mid-range materials, we help you achieve a high-impact look without overspending.
For premium homes across Essendon and surrounding suburbs like Moonee Ponds and Strathmore, we offer bespoke luxury bathroom upgrades. Expect features such as custom stone benchtops, freestanding baths, heated floors, and feature lighting — all executed with precision craftsmanship.
HRE OZ also manages commercial bathroom projects for local cafés, gyms, and offices in Essendon. All work complies with Building Code of Australia (BCA) requirements and Victorian plumbing regulations, ensuring safety, hygiene, and accessibility.
We design and build accessible bathrooms that comply with AS 1428.1 accessibility standards. These solutions are ideal for aged-care facilities, NDIS modifications, or homeowners seeking mobility-friendly layouts with non-slip flooring, grab rails, and open-access showers.
Every homeowner in Essendon has a unique vision — whether it’s a sleek modern ensuite or a classic family bathroom. At HRE OZ, we bring design flexibility and practical expertise to match your lifestyle, property type, and space.
Our design team works closely with you to select the right finishes, layouts, and materials — always adhering to Australian Building Code standards and modern design principles that suit Melbourne homes.
For homeowners seeking a contemporary look, our modern bathroom renovations feature frameless glass showers, floating vanities, concealed storage, and LED lighting. Clean lines and neutral tones create an uncluttered space perfect for apartments and newly built homes across Essendon.
Inspired by light, space, and texture, Hamptons-style bathrooms are timeless and elegant. We use shaker cabinetry, soft blue and white palettes, brushed nickel tapware, and detailed tile work to achieve that fresh coastal feel.
These designs blend traditional charm with modern functionality. Expect warm tones, ceramic or porcelain tiles, freestanding tubs, and fixtures that balance comfort with style — ideal for character homes or period properties around Essendon.
For growing families, functionality is key. We create family bathrooms with smart storage, easy-clean surfaces, and durable materials that handle everyday use while still looking refined.
Essendon’s apartments and townhouses often require space efficiency. We specialise in clever small-space solutions like wall-mounted fixtures, mirrored cabinets, and vertical storage — making compact bathrooms feel spacious and practical.

Planning your bathroom renovation in Essendon starts with understanding what influences the total cost. We’re upfront about every factor that can affect your project pricing — ensuring your budget aligns with your design goals and compliance requirements.
Size and layout – Larger or reconfigured bathrooms require additional materials and trades.
Scope of work – Full strip-outs, waterproofing, plumbing relocations, and custom joinery increase complexity.
Material and fixture choices – Tiles, fittings, and finishes (from budget ceramic to high-end stone) influence total spend.
Structural modifications – Changes to walls, windows, or drainage affect both cost and permit requirements.
Compliance requirements – Waterproofing (AS 3740), electrical safety (AS/NZS 3000), and plumbing codes (AS/NZS 3500) are all legally required in Australia.
While pricing varies depending on style and specification, homeowners in Essendon and nearby suburbs can generally expect:
Budget bathroom renovations: $15,000 – $25,000
Mid-range renovations: $25,000 – $35,000
Luxury or high-end bathrooms: $35,000 – $50,000+
These estimates include trades, fixtures, and compliance with Australian building standards.
You can reduce renovation costs without compromising on quality:
Retain existing layout to avoid costly plumbing relocations.
Choose local materials and suppliers to cut freight costs and support Melbourne businesses.
Plan early to secure trade availability and avoid rush fees.
Use trusted, licensed renovators — fixing poor workmanship later always costs more.
We help you balance design ambition with budget reality, delivering a finished bathroom that adds long-term value to your Essendon home.
