Homes On Show - Save My Bathroom

Posted 30/05/18

Behind every job there is a story. This one starts with a homeowner, and a vision to renovate her bathroom from an outdated 1970’s relic to a modern, clean, and functional bathroom. The Dilemma The story starts with Joanne and her first tradie, a referral from a friend. The tradie seemed great. The homeowner and the tradie agreed that Joanne would buy everything that was needed for the bathroom, and the tradie gave her a cost to install and renovate to her plan.

Posted 3 years ago

The house was converted to gas hot water some time ago, so there is no water cylinder inside the cupboard, just shelving, and the walls are thin Pinex(?) stuff, so shouldn't be too difficult to remove.
