Your Local Bathroom Renovation Team in Burwood
Burwood is a well-connected suburb in Melbourne’s east, home to Deakin University, quiet family streets and a large number of homes built in the decades after the Second World War. Many of these brick and brick veneer houses still have their original bathrooms, or ones last updated in the 1980s. Typical issues include leaking shower recesses, dated tiles, limited storage and vanities that no longer suit busy households.
MW Homes helps Burwood homeowners replace these tired rooms with practical, long-lasting bathrooms. We visit your home, look for signs of hidden water damage, and plan a layout that improves storage, movement and ease of cleaning. Our team then guides your selections, coordinates licensed trades and manages the build through one point of contact. It is the same detailed approach behind our bathroom renovations across Melbourne, tailored to Burwood homes.
How MW Homes Handles Your Bathroom Renovation in Burwood
Every bathroom renovation in Burwood follows a clear, proven process, so you know what to expect at each stage. It begins with an in-home consultation, where we measure the room, inspect the existing plumbing and structure, and discuss how you want the space to look and function, whether it is a family bathroom, a private ensuite or a powder room.
We then develop a practical layout and guide you through selections such as frameless shower screens, wall-hung vanities, mirrored cabinets, recessed niches, heated towel rails, and layered lighting. Once the design and inclusions are confirmed, you receive a detailed quotation and a confirmed project timeframe before any work begins.
During construction, our team coordinates demolition, carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tiling and installation in the correct sequence. You have one point of contact throughout, regular progress updates, and a final walkthrough and clean before handover.

Repairing Leaking Shower Recesses in Burwood's 1960s and 1970s Homes
In many Burwood homes built during the 1960s and 1970s, the original shower recess was tiled directly over a mortar bed with little or no waterproofing membrane. After decades of use, cracked grout and failed seals let water escape into the surrounding walls and floor. The signs are often subtle at first, such as lifting skirting boards, bubbling paint in the hallway, a musty smell or loose tiles, but the damage behind the scenes can be extensive.
MW Homes removes the old recess completely so we can see what is happening beneath. We replace rotted framing, floorboards and wall linings, renew corroded pipework and install a compliant waterproofing membrane with correct falls to a new floor waste. A modern frameless shower and properly sealed junctions mean the leak will not return.
Your detailed quotation clearly explains what is included, and our licensed plumbers and electricians complete their work to the relevant standards. With one accountable team overseeing every stage, your new bathroom is protected behind the tiles as well as in front of them.
- Complete removal of old shower recesses
- Repair of water-damaged framing and floors
- Renewed pipework and floor wastes
- Compliant waterproofing with correct falls
- Frameless glass and sealed junctions
How Much Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in Burwood?
Every bathroom renovation in Burwood is different, so the cost is best treated as a general guide. As a rough idea, replacing finishes and fixtures in a structurally sound bathroom sits at the more accessible end of the scale, while repairing extensive water damage, changing the layout or adding an ensuite represents a greater investment.
Your final figure depends on the room’s size, the extent of any hidden damage, plumbing changes, and your choice of tiles, tapware and vanity.

Burwood Bathrooms Designed for Today and the Years Ahead
Burwood’s homes range from solid postwar brick houses and 1970s family homes to modern townhouses and student-friendly investment properties. Our team designs each bathroom to suit how the property will be used, whether that means hard-wearing finishes for a rental, a calm ensuite for a family home or a safe, accessible layout for downsizers.
Carefully chosen tiles, tapware, joinery, and architectural details allow the renovated space to feel connected to the rest of the home, whatever its era or style.
MW Homes can also create accessible and ageing-in-place bathrooms with step-free showers, wider access, comfort-height fixtures, grab rails, and slip-resistant surfaces. These features can be integrated into an attractive, welcoming design that supports greater independence.
