Custom Showers and Bath Installation with southern highlands renovations

A custom shower installation is a shower built entirely to your specifications rather than a pre-fabricated kit. This covers the size and shape of the enclosure, the choice of tiles or stone, the style of screen, the tapware finish, and the position of fittings like niches, shelving, and shower heads. The result is a shower that fits your space precisely and reflects your personal style, rather than conforming to whatever a standard product range allows.

We install all bath types including freestanding baths, built-in alcove baths, drop-in baths, and corner baths. Whether you're after a classic clawfoot freestanding as a centrepiece or a sleek built-in with a tiled surround, we handle the full installation including the plumbing connections, waste fitting, and any structural work required to support the bath correctly.

Yes, in most cases. The main considerations are whether the floor can support the weight of the bath when filled, and whether the existing plumbing can be extended to reach the bath's position. We assess both before recommending placement, and as licensed plumbers we handle any pipe work required as part of the installation rather than leaving it as a separate trade.

Generally, yes. Custom showers involve more precise work at every stage, from waterproofing to tiling to the fitting of bespoke screens and hardware. The timeline depends on the complexity of the design and the lead time on any custom materials or fixtures. We give you a realistic schedule upfront so you can plan around it, and we don't rush the waterproofing or substrate work regardless of timeline pressure.

Absolutely. Combining a custom shower and bath installation in a single renovation is one of the most common projects we take on. Working on both at the same time is more efficient, allows us to coordinate the plumbing runs together, and typically results in a more cohesive finished look than having them done separately.

The three main practical considerations are floor loading, plumbing access, and clearance space. Freestanding baths are heavier than built-in options and require adequate structural support beneath them. The floor waste and tap connections also need to be in the right position before the bath goes in, so planning the plumbing layout early is important. We work through all of this with you at the consultation stage so there are no surprises once the renovation is underway.
