Bathroom Renovations in Belmont, With the Layout Worked Out First
A good bathroom starts with where things go, not what they look like. In plenty of Belmont homes, the toilet, vanity and shower sit where a builder put them decades ago. A renovation is the chance to move them so the room works the way you live.
PB Builds renovates bathrooms across Belmont and greater Geelong. Below is a recent bathroom we finished just across the river in South Geelong, where we swapped the toilet and vanity, added underfloor heating and built in tall storage.

Planning a Layout Change in Your Belmont Bathroom
- Moving a toilet or vanity is usually possible, but the structure decides how. Floor joists, existing drainage and wall framing all set limits. Ask your builder to check the structure before you fall in love with a new layout, and to tell you what moving each fixture adds to the price.
A Recent Project Near Belmont: South Geelong Bathroom
The owners of this South Geelong home wanted a warm, practical bathroom with proper storage. Works started on 3 August 2026 and ran about eight weeks, including a custom vanity and a Corian top made to measure.
Toilet and vanity swapped Structural issues meant the original layout didn’t work. We swapped the toilet and vanity positions, and the owner asked for the vanity to sit deeper than the toilet nib wall so the toilet isn’t in view from the doorway.
Underfloor heating Our tiler laid the heating mat before the floor tiles, so the floor is warm underfoot on winter mornings.
Custom vanity and two tall cabinets Built and installed by our cabinetmaker, with the exhaust fan ducted through the cabinetry.
Corian benchtop and splashback Templated after the vanity went in and installed about a week and a half later. One seamless surface with no grout lines at the basin.
Arched mirror with brushed brass frame A 700mm by 1000mm arched mirror above the vanity.
New floor, waterproofing and full tiling The floor was dropped and self-levelled before waterproofing, then tiled, with tiles carried inside the shower and to the top of the wall.
New window A new window, installed with scaffolding and painted outside.
Frameless shower screen Measured after tiling and fitted once the caulking was done.
A Note for Belmont Homeowners
Underfloor heating costs far less to add during a bathroom renovation than at any other time. If you’re retiling the floor anyway, ask for a price on it.
