East Auckland bathroom services
East Auckland Bathroom Renovation Services
Four kinds of job cover most of our East Auckland work.
Full Bathroom Renovations
Full bathroom renovations in East Auckland replace the room from the framing out, with a new waterproofing membrane, shower, vanity, toilet and ducted extractor.
Huyen's Howick bathroom went from full demolition to finished in twelve business days.
Nick sets the timeframe for your room in the written quote.
Ensuites in Family Homes
Ensuites in Botany, Dannemora and Flat Bush family homes are renovated on their own or with the main bathroom.
Doing both rooms together shares the trades on one quote, and one room can stay usable while the other is built.
Tell us which bathroom the household needs most during the job.
Pre-2000 Bathroom Strip-Outs
Bathrooms in East Auckland homes built or renovated before 2000 can have asbestos in the vinyl, the wall linings or a textured ceiling.
A suspect lining is tested before the strip-out starts, and the removal follows WorkSafe's licensing rules.
Tell us the year the bathroom was last renovated, if you know it.
Bath-to-Shower Conversions
Bath-to-shower conversions in East Auckland replace an old bath with a tiled walk-in shower laid to fall, over a waterproofing membrane.
A tiled wet-area shower needs a building consent in Auckland, and Nick issues the PS3 for the waterproofing.
Ask about keeping a bath in the main bathroom if young children use the house.
What happens when you call
How an East Auckland Bathroom Renovation Goes
Five steps, with any testing done before the old bathroom comes out.
1. Free East Auckland Site Visit
Nick measures the room, checks the plumbing he can see and asks when the bathroom was last renovated. No charge.
2. Written Quote and Testing
The quote lists every trade and fixture. If a lining could contain asbestos, testing is arranged before the strip-out.
3. Strip-Out
The room comes back to the framing, with any asbestos removed under WorkSafe's rules first.
4. Waterproofing Membrane and Fit-Out
The waterproofing membrane cures, then the tiles, vanity, shower, toilet and extractor go in.
5. Handover
Nick runs every fixture with you. The waterproofing carries a 15-year guarantee from handover.

How East Auckland jobs are priced
What Sets the Cost of an East Auckland Bathroom
Each East Auckland bathroom is priced in writing after a free site visit. The age of the bathroom matters here, because testing and removal of old linings can add a step before the rebuild.
Asbestos testing
A pre-2000 lining is tested first. More than 10 m² of non-friable asbestos needs a licensed removalist.
Bath or shower
Swapping a bath for a tiled walk-in shower adds waterproofing work and a consent.
Layout changes
Moving the toilet or shower means new drainage, which costs more on a slab.
Two rooms or one
An ensuite done with the main bathroom shares trades and saves on a second set of visits.
Fixtures and finishes
Tapware, vanities and large-format tiles are the biggest lines on most quotes.

What the census says about East Auckland
Population, Older Homes and Asbestos in East Auckland
The Howick local board area covers Howick, Pakuranga, Botany, Flat Bush and East Tāmaki. At the 2023 Census it had 153,570 residents, the most of any Auckland local board, up 8.9% from 2018. Its homes reported less damp than most of the city, at 15.3%.
If your bathroom was built or last renovated before 2000, check it before anything is cut. WorkSafe says any building built or renovated before 2000 could contain asbestos, including in floor tiles, vinyl sheeting and textured ceilings. Nick asks when the bathroom was last done, and suspect linings are tested before the strip-out.
Up to 10 m² of non-friable asbestos can be removed without a licence over the whole project, with controls in place. More than that needs a Class B licence, and friable asbestos needs a Class A licence.

I couldn’t be happier with Alchemy Bathrooms team. They took my simple idea and it turned into a sleek modern bathroom. My husband and I are absolutely delighted with the results. They are highly professional, quick and listened to all our requirements.
