Bathroom Renovations in Clifton
68 Projects Building Co renovates bathrooms on Clifton's steps-only sites — where the bath, the tiles, and every barrow of rubble are carried, and priced that way from the start.
Your Local Clifton Bathroom Contractor
A Strip-Out Makes a Lot of Rubble, and It All Leaves by Hand
Access defines almost every job in Clifton. Some of these bungalows are reached only by steps or a private walkway, so every bag of cement, every box of tile, and the bath itself is carried in by hand. What owners often do not price in is the other direction: a bathroom strip-out generates a great deal of rubble, and on a stepped site all of it goes back up the same way.
We measure that at the site visit and put a number against it. The rest is the usual discipline — marine-grade fixings and hardware for a position that takes driven spray year-round, and a programme built for a Clifton site rather than a suburban one.

The Details That Lift a Clifton Bathroom
Bungalow bathrooms are usually compact, so the gains come from layout and from hardware that lasts. These are the features Clifton owners ask us for most often.
Walk-In Showers
Curbless, frameless glass showers that feel bigger and are far easier to clean.
Lit Recessed Niches
Built-in shelving with concealed LED strips — storage that doubles as a feature.
Feature Tiling
Fan-pattern, terrazzo, and mosaic tiling used to give one wall real presence.
Wall-Hung Fittings
Concealed cisterns and wall-hung pans that free up floor area in a compact bungalow.
Coastal-Grade Tapware
Finishes, shower hardware, and fixings chosen for driven salt spray year-round.
Sea-Facing Glazing
Bathroom windows detailed for the view, for privacy, and for the exposure.
Why Choose Us
A Bathroom Contractor You Only Have to Phone Once
Most bathroom renovations go wrong in the gaps between trades — the tiler waiting on the plumber, the electrician arriving after the walls are closed. On a site where there is only room for one trade at a time, those gaps become the whole programme. Running the job ourselves lets us sequence it properly.
- One contractor for plumbing, electrical, tiling, joinery, and finishing
- Local team working across Clifton and the Atlantic Seaboard
- Strip-out rubble and materials handled honestly on sites reached only by steps
- Marine-grade fixings and coastal finishes specified for year-round spray
- A realistic programme for a Clifton site, not an optimistic one
- Discreet, quiet sites that keep narrow access clear for neighbours

More Than Bathrooms
Renovating the Rest of the Home?
Bathrooms are often the start of a bigger project. As a full building contractor in Clifton, we also handle kitchens, decks and stairs, exterior repairs and coatings, ceilings, and structural alterations — so one team can carry the whole renovation.
Bathroom Renovation FAQs for Clifton Owners
Steps-only access, carrying rubble out, realistic programmes, marine-grade fittings, costs, and how to get a quote for your Clifton bathroom.
Do you renovate bathrooms throughout Clifton?
Yes. We work across all four bays, in the original beach bungalows reached by steps and walkways as well as the larger contemporary homes on cut-in platforms, and in neighbouring Bantry Bay, Camps Bay, Bakoven, Fresnaye, and Sea Point.
Our bungalow has no road access — can you still renovate the bathroom?
Yes, and it is a normal Clifton job for us. The bath, the vanity, the glass, and every box of tile is carried in by hand, and the strip-out rubble is carried back out the same way. What matters is that this is measured and priced at the site visit rather than discovered in week two. On a stepped site, material handling is a real line item, not a rounding error, and we would rather show you the figure up front than absorb it into a vague allowance.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Longer than the three to four weeks an equivalent suburban bathroom takes, and we say so at quote stage. Hand-carrying slows every single stage, and most Clifton sites are too tight to run several trades at once. An optimistic programme on a Clifton site is not a kindness, so we give you a realistic one and hold to it.
What does a bathroom renovation cost in Clifton?
The building work itself falls in the same R40,000 to R150,000 range as anywhere else, depending on size, finishes, and whether the layout changes. Where there is no vehicle access, we add a clearly stated allowance for access and handling so you can see precisely what that part of the job costs.
Do you handle the plumbing and electrical work too?
Yes. Plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling, joinery, and painting are all managed by our own team and trusted trades. On a site this tight that matters more than usual — one team sequencing itself is far quicker than five subcontractors queueing for the same walkway.
Can I stay in the house during the renovation?
In most cases, yes. We seal off the work area, protect the route in, and clean up daily. Clifton is dense and highly visible, so we also keep noisy work to sensible hours, keep the walkway and steps clear for neighbours, and run a quiet, tidy site.
How do you make sure the bathroom does not leak later?
Waterproofing is the part nobody sees and the part that fails first when it is rushed. We set the falls, run upstands at the shower, lay a continuous membrane over the wet zones, and allow the correct curing time before tiling. We also use marine-grade fixings and hardware throughout, because anything less corrodes in this position and takes the detail with it.
