We did our research which company to go with for our bathroom renovation and we couldn't be happier with the final result. Mark and his team were very easy to work with, communication was fantastic and afterwards when some final touches were required they were more than happy to change things. Highly recommend and plan to renovate our kitchen in the near future with MW homes.

Congratulations 🎊 to Mark, Chris, Victoria and the team… you have done it again 👏🏻 We loved our bathroom you renovated 3 years ago, and now delighted with the new kitchen Reno. Great experience from the beginning to the end, thank you all for our amazing new kitchen. 👍
This is the second renovation undertaken by MW Homes. Mark, Victoria, Chris and the team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Victoria and Mark were so helpful providing inspiration and advice about, design, layout and colours. The building team were respectful with great communications and kept me up to date with weekly progress. The quality of the finished bathrooms, laundry and kitchen were exceptional.
I am very fortunate to have my second home renovated by MW homes. Again they did an amazing job very professional and punctuate. I highly recommend MW homes especially if you are looking to have peace of mind. Mark is a true gentleman and Chris is the best. Don't forget to get extra help from Joe who can help you with everything. Joe is amazing. Thank you MW homes
I am really pleased with all the work Chris, his carpenters and the other trades people did on my bathroom renovation. The result is great and everything was done on time and with little disruption to the rest of the house. I certainly recommend them to anyone considering renovations.
MW Homes did a fantastic job renovating our bathrooms and laundry, plus kitchen upgrades. They were organised and responsive delivering the project on time and to a high quality. The team managed the project end-to-end and connected us with suppliers and other services as needed - all providing exceptional and friendly service. Thanks to Mark, Victoria, Chris, Arvy, Joe and the MW team!
Mark and team absolutely lived up to my high expectations after reading all of their reviews. We engaged them to completely renovate our apartment in South Yarra. Two bathrooms and a kitchen. They communicated incredibly well through the entire project and we felt like we always knew exactly what was happening. The quality of tiling, painting, electrical work etc was outstanding. We are incredibly happy with the outcome. And it was finished earlier than projected. Highly recommend!
Once again MW Homes did a magnificent job. Very prompt response to my enquiry, polite and professional tradesman, and a beautiful end result. I will always highly recommend M W Homes for all renovation works.
Incredibly happy with MW Homes and their work on our bathroom and bedroom renovation - we were so impressed by their professionalism, communication, attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. In particular, if you're looking for a builder who will really guide and support you throughout the whole process, provide amazing site management, and communicate regularly, then this is the team you want.
I engaged MW Homes for a comprehensive renovation of my Richmond property, covering bathroom, kitchen, and laundry. Mark and his team coordinated multiple trades and external suppliers throughout, keeping me informed at every step and delivering on time. I have no hesitation recommending MW Homes for a project of this scale.
Mark, Chris, Victoria and the MW Homes Team transformed our apartment kitchen with both professionalism and precision! They guided us through the renovation, answering our questions with patience and going the extra mile to make sure we were 100% happy with our new kitchen. They were always contactable by both email and phone, and we really appreciated the team's opinions and never felt pressured to make decisions. Everything was completed on time an the finishings are of a high standard. Most of all, they are lovely humans with a customer-first mindset, which means we absolutely recommend them if you're reading this and considering a renovation. Thanks Mark, Chris, Victoria and team for taking such good care of our job! From Kane and Ben.
Just want to say a big thank you to Mark and his broader team at MW Homes. Everyone has done a fantastic job and I was really happy with all aspects from our first engagement to renovation commencement, service delivery, and project completion. All your staff and all your tradie teams have been fantastic. Thanks too for all your additional assistance and recommendations and referrals along the way. As for the work done, it was a full renovation of a unit in East Melbourne. From demolition to the design and finishes, project management, quality of workmanship and all staff, clear communication, the referral to other services free of charge (i.e. property stylists, flooring, etc) and timely completion was greatly appreciated (saved me time and stress). I highly recommend MW Homes and would not hesitate to use Mark and his team again.
MW Homes have just done a full renovation of our horrible ancient rotting bathroom and it is fabulous. Every step of the process from the first quote to the final payment has been smooth and well co-ordinated. Comms were great and we always knew exactly who was coming and when. They finished a week under the four week timeline and the new bathroom is perfect. Worth every cent.
We were a bit skeptical about perfect 5 star reviews, but now we're happy customers, too. There was much more involved in renovating our 45 year old bathroom than I realised. Mark, Chris, and all the tradies were excellent. There were a couple of hiccups, probably to be expected in such an old house, but they were quickly solved and the end result is great. Very happy!
A Bathroom is More Than a Practical Room
Bathroom renovations are one of the most rewarding investments you can make in your Melbourne home if you've been dreaming about a fresh, functional space to start and end your day. At MW Homes, we understand that a bathroom is far more than a purely practical room. It's a private retreat, a place to unwind after a long day, and one of the first spaces potential buyers notice if you ever decide to sell.
Whether your current bathroom feels dated, cramped or simply worn out after years of daily use, our experienced team is here to guide you through a smooth and enjoyable renovation journey, from the very first conversation through to the final reveal. Melbourne homes come in all shapes, sizes and eras, from charming Victorian terraces in Fitzroy to sleek contemporary builds in the bayside suburbs. That diversity means no two bathroom projects are ever quite the same, and that's exactly why homeowners across the city continue to choose MW Homes for their renovations.
With more than 30 years of combined experience across design, carpentry, plumbing and project management, our team has seen just about every layout challenge, plumbing quirk and heritage constraint that older Melbourne homes can throw at a renovation. We bring that experience to every consultation, so you're never guessing what's possible within your budget and your home's existing structure.
Why Homeowners Trust MW Homes With Their Bathroom
A bathroom renovation touches nearly every trade in the building industry. Plumbers, electricians, waterproofers, tilers, carpenters and painters all need to work in careful sequence to deliver a finished space that looks beautiful and performs flawlessly for years to come. Coordinating that many moving parts is where many renovation projects run into trouble, with delays, miscommunication and unexpected costs becoming all too common when trades aren't properly managed.
This is precisely the problem MW Homes was built to solve. As a fully project-managed renovation company, we take on the coordination burden so you don't have to. You'll deal directly with our director throughout your renovation, so there's no chasing down different tradespeople for updates and no confusion about who is responsible for what. Our team handles the scheduling, the sequencing and the quality control, so your bathroom comes together in the right order and to the standard you expect.
We're also Registered Building Practitioners, which means your renovation is backed by proper licensing, insurance and accountability. This matters enormously in wet areas like bathrooms, where poor waterproofing or substandard plumbing work can lead to expensive problems years down the track, including water damage to floors, ceilings and even the rooms below. When you choose experienced, licensed professionals for your bathroom, you're protecting your home's long-term value as much as its everyday comfort.

Designing a Bathroom That Works For Your Life
Good bathroom design starts with understanding how you use the space day to day. A busy family bathroom that needs to survive kids getting ready for school has very different requirements to a quiet ensuite retreat meant purely for relaxation, or a compact powder room that simply needs to be efficient and welcoming for guests.
During your in-home consultation, our team will talk through how you and your household use the space now, and how you'd like to use it in future. We'll consider practical details like storage needs, ventilation, lighting placement and layout efficiency, alongside the aesthetic choices that will make the finished bathroom feel like yours. From there, we help you navigate material and fixture selection, drawing on our extensive supplier network to source tiles, vanities, taps, showerheads and other fittings that suit both your taste and your budget.
One of the most common decisions homeowners face is whether to choose custom joinery or off-the-shelf vanities and cabinetry. Custom solutions allow you to make the most of an awkward layout or an unusual room shape, both of which are common in older Melbourne homes, while off-the-shelf options can sometimes offer a faster turnaround at a lower cost. Our designers will walk you through the pros and cons of each based on your specific space, so you can make a confident, informed decision rather than feeling pressured into a choice that doesn't suit your home.
Throughout this process, our bathroom renovation team keeps you informed at every stage, with clear timelines and transparent pricing so there are no unpleasant surprises partway through the build. We believe that a stress-free renovation experience comes from proactive communication, not from hoping problems don't arise.
From Concept to Completion
Once your design and material selections are finalised, our skilled tradespeople take over to bring the plan to life. This typically begins with any necessary demolition and structural work, followed by rough-in plumbing and electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, fixture installation and finally the finishing touches like painting, caulking and styling.
Waterproofing deserves particular attention in any bathroom project. Australian building standards are strict about waterproofing requirements in wet areas for good reason, and cutting corners here can lead to costly damage that isn't visible until it has already caused significant harm to the structure of your home. Our team follows compliant waterproofing practices on every job, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected from the ground up.
We also understand that having your only bathroom out of action, even temporarily, can be disruptive to daily life. That's why our project managers work hard to plan an efficient schedule and communicate clearly about timing, so you know what to expect and can plan around it as smoothly as possible.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before starting your renovation with MW Homes.
How long does a typical bathroom renovation take?
The timeline for a bathroom renovation depends heavily on the scope of work involved and the current condition of the space. A cosmetic refresh that keeps the existing layout and plumbing in place might take as little as two to three weeks, while a full renovation involving structural changes, relocated plumbing or an extended layout can take six to eight weeks or longer.
During your consultation, our team will walk you through a realistic timeline based on your specific project, factoring in trade availability, material lead times and any council approvals that might be required. We always aim to keep you informed of progress throughout, so you're never left wondering what's happening or when the next stage will begin.
Do I need council approval to renovate my bathroom?
In many cases, straightforward bathroom renovations that don't involve structural changes or alterations to the building's footprint won't require council approval, though a permit may still be needed depending on the scope of plumbing and waterproofing work involved.
If your renovation involves moving walls, altering drainage significantly or altering the structure of the home, additional approvals may be necessary. Because we're Registered Building Practitioners, our team can advise you early in the planning process about what approvals, if any, apply to your specific renovation, and we'll help manage that process so it doesn't become a source of stress or delay.
Can I keep my existing layout to save on costs?
Absolutely, and this is a common approach for homeowners looking to refresh their bathroom without the cost of relocating plumbing. Keeping fixtures like the toilet, shower and vanity in roughly their existing positions can significantly reduce both the cost and the duration of a renovation, since it avoids extensive rerouting of pipes and drainage.
That said, sometimes a modest layout change can dramatically improve the functionality of a space, so it's worth discussing your goals with our team during the consultation. We'll always give you honest advice about where spending a little more might deliver a meaningfully better result, and where sticking with the existing footprint makes the most sense.
What's the difference between a bathroom makeover and a full renovation?
A makeover generally refers to updating the surface-level elements of a bathroom, such as repainting, replacing tapware, updating a vanity or retiling, without changing the underlying layout or structure. A full renovation, by contrast, typically involves a more comprehensive overhaul that might include reconfiguring the layout, moving plumbing, upgrading waterproofing and replacing every element of the room down to the studs.
Which approach is right for you depends on your budget, the age and condition of your existing bathroom, and your long term plans for the home. Our team can assess your current bathroom and help you understand which option will deliver the best value and the outcome you're hoping for.
How do you choose the right tiles and finishes for a small bathroom?
Smaller bathrooms benefit from thoughtful material choices that create a sense of space and light rather than closing the room in. Larger format tiles with fewer grout lines can make a compact bathroom feel more expansive, while lighter colour palettes and strategically placed mirrors can enhance natural and artificial light.
Storage is equally important in smaller spaces, so we often recommend built in niches, mirrored cabinetry or slim profile vanities that maximise floor space without sacrificing practicality. During your consultation, our design team will bring samples and options tailored specifically to your bathroom's dimensions, helping you visualise how different finishes will look and feel once installed.
