Bathroom Renovations in Sorrento – A Considered Plan for Every Room
The photographs on this page show a PB Builds project completed in Torquay.
The owners wanted their ensuite, main bathroom and powder room renovated with consistent finishes while maintaining access to a shower. The work was staged over approximately 11 weeks.
This project provides an example of sequencing several rooms rather than stripping them all at once.
Key Features of the Renovation
- 🧱 Full-height ensuite tiling. The tiles finished against a square-set ceiling.
- 🪞 A recessed shower niche. The niche was adjusted on site to accommodate a load-bearing wall.
- 💄 A dedicated make-up area. A dresser beside the vanity included a stone top and shaving cabinet.
- 🚿 Provision for future grab rails. Blocking was installed in the shower walls
- 🔹 A coordinated powder room. A custom vanity, stone top and subway-tile splashback completed the smaller room.

Planning Around Your Household
Before discussing dates, make a list of the facilities you need each day.
Which shower does everyone use? Is another toilet available? Does someone need assistance or a particular bathroom arrangement? Will family members or guests be staying during the proposed work?
These questions help explain your household’s requirements. They also give you a useful way to review the proposed programme.
If the property is used for holidays, include any planned visits in the discussion. Avoid assuming that every part of the house will be available between construction stages.
A Note for Homeowners in Sorrento, Portsea, Blairgowrie and Rye
A vanity arrangement that appeals to you for the ensuite might not be necessary in the powder room. Keeping those preferences separate helps you develop a clearer brief while still identifying the features you want throughout the home.
