Bathroom Renovation Specialists in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs
Style and functionality without compromise
A bathroom should be more than a place to get ready. It’s where mornings begin, evenings wind down, and busy households find their rhythm. At Dwyercon, we transform tired bathrooms into stylish, functional spaces designed to make everyday life easier and… a little more luxurious.
From complete bathroom renovations to clever ensuite makeovers, our team of renovation specialists deliver projects that balance modern design, practical layouts, and high-quality finishes across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
Bathrooms Built Around Your Lifestyle
Every home has its own character and every family has its own routine. That’s why we don’t do “one-size-fits-all” bathrooms. Instead, we listen first and build spaces that reflect how you actually live.
- Complete Bathroom Renovation – a fresh start for outdated or damaged spaces.
- Ensuite Bathroom Renovations – compact designs that feel private, stylish, and comfortable.
- Custom Bathroom Designs – tailored layouts and finishes that bring your ideas to life.
- Small Bathroom Remodels – clever use of space for apartments and period homes in Melbourne.
Are you after a spa-like retreat or a hard-wearing family bathroom? Whatever your preference, Dwyercon makes it happen.
Our Renovation Process: From Plans to Polished Tiles
Renovating a bathroom is exciting, but it’s also a big project and one that needs the right planning. At Dwyercon, we’ve refined our process so you always know what’s happening and when.
- Dream & Design. It starts with you. We meet to talk through how you use your bathroom, what frustrates you about the current space, and what you’d love to change. From there, we help shape your vision into a practical design, complete with layout suggestions, fixture options, and finishes.
- Detailed Planning & Material Selection. Once the design is agreed, we move into the planning stage. This is where we finalise drawings, select tiles, vanities, lighting, and fittings, and confirm lead times. We’ll also provide a clear project schedule and cost breakdown so you can plan with confidence.
- Permits & Compliance. Some projects are straightforward, while others involve plumbing relocations, electrical upgrades, or even structural adjustments. If your renovation requires council approval or specific compliance checks, we take care of the paperwork and make sure everything meets Victorian building codes.
- Demolition & Preparation. This is where the transformation begins. We carefully remove old fixtures, tiles, and cabinetry, taking precautions to minimise dust and disruption. At this stage, we also prepare the space for waterproofing, plumbing, and electrical work.
- Construction & Installation Here’s where your new bathroom takes shape. Our licensed trades handle:
- Waterproofing – to protect your home from leaks and damage.
- Plumbing & Electrical – installed safely and up to code.
- Tiling & Surfaces – floors, walls, and splashbacks laid with precision.
- Cabinetry & Fixtures – from vanities to mirrors, fitted seamlessly.
- Finishing Touches. Once the major works are complete, we move onto the final details: painting, grouting, fitting hardware, and installing accessories. Every corner is checked and polished to perfection.
- Handover & Aftercare. Before we leave, we walk you through the finished bathroom to ensure everything meets your expectations. We also provide aftercare guidance on looking after your new fixtures and surfaces, so your bathroom stays beautiful for years to come.
On average, a complete bathroom renovation takes 3–6 weeks, though we’ll always tailor the timeline to your project and keep you updated along the way.

Bathroom Renovation Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Melbourne?
Most bathroom renovations in Melbourne cost between $20,000 and $35,000, with luxury or custom projects going higher. The final figure depends on size, materials, and how much plumbing or electrical work is required.
Do I need council approval for a bathroom remodel?
Not always. Simple upgrades like new tiles or fixtures usually don’t need approval. But if you’re moving plumbing, rewiring, or changing structural elements, a permit may be required. We’ll guide you through the process.
How long does a complete bathroom renovation take?
A typical project takes 3–6 weeks from demolition to completion. Larger or more complex bathrooms may take longer, especially if custom cabinetry or special-order materials are involved.
What’s the difference between a bathroom remodel contractor and a renovation specialist?
Remodel contractors might focus on specific tasks like tiling or cabinetry. Renovation specialists, like Dwyercon, manage the entire project (design, compliance, build, and finishing) so you don’t need to coordinate multiple trades yourself.
Can Dwyercon renovate small bathrooms and ensuites?
Yes. We regularly transform small spaces into stylish, practical bathrooms that feel bigger than they are, using smart layouts and clever storage.
What’s trending in Melbourne bathroom design right now?
Clients are asking for walk-in showers, freestanding baths, natural textures, and statement tapware. Energy-efficient fittings and custom vanities are also high on the wish list.
