Bathroom Renovations in Portsea, Planned From the Floor Up
A new bathroom starts with an idea of how the room could look. Making that idea work means understanding the existing home before deciding what moves.
If you are planning a bathroom renovation in Portsea, the important questions go beyond tiles and tapware. Would a different shower position improve the room? Is the vanity providing enough storage? Does the toilet need to move, or could a more considered arrangement achieve the result you want?
At PB Builds, we help bring those decisions together before construction begins.
A Recent Bathroom Renovation in Torquay
- The photographs on this page show a completed PB Builds project in Torquay. The owners wanted a rebuilt bathroom with a different layout, requiring drainage changes through a waffle pod slab.
- The renovation took approximately five weeks.
- Rather than presenting the photographs as a Portsea job, we are sharing this project as an example of the construction work that can sit behind a finished bathroom.
Key Features of the Renovation
The owners of this Torquay home wanted their bathroom rebuilt, and the new layout meant moving drainage through a waffle pod slab.
🪚 Drainage relocated through the slab
The work included opening the concrete, installing the new drainage and reinstating the floor.
🔨 Support behind the fixtures
New framing and blocking provided fixing points for the vanity, shower screen and towel rails.
🧱 Floor preparation before waterproofing
The floor was ground and self-levelled before waterproofing.
🪞 A new vanity and shower screen
The finished bathroom included a 900mm vanity with a ceramic top, frameless glass and new tiling.
Challenges & PB Builds Solutions
Working with the existing construction
The proposed layout needed to account for the waffle pod slab rather than treating the floor as an unrestricted space.
Checking the finished work
A splashback that did not meet our standard was removed and retiled before handover.
