Bathroom Renovation Contractor in Constantia
Bathroom Renovations in Constantia
68 Projects Building Co renovates Constantia bathrooms around what the property actually runs on — borehole or municipal water, and a sewer line or a conservancy tank. That decides the specification long before the tiles do.
Your Local Constantia Bathroom Contractor
Specified for the Water the Property Actually Has
Constantia has a constraint most Cape Town suburbs do not. A lot of properties here are not straightforwardly on municipal water and sewer — there are boreholes and storage tanks feeding the house, and on the larger erven drainage runs to a conservancy or septic system rather than a council line. Both change what a bathroom can be. Borehole water is often harder and can carry iron, which is unkind to cartridges and shower heads. An on-site drainage system has a finite capacity, so adding fixtures adds load to something that may already be near its limit.
None of that is a reason not to build a beautiful bathroom. It is a reason to find out first. We check the supply and the drainage before specifying anything, match the tapware to the pressure the property genuinely delivers, and price any upgrade openly — rather than fitting a rain head that disappoints from the first week.

Design Details
The Details That Lift a Constantia Bathroom
With generous rooms and a garden outside almost every window, the decisions here are about proportion, outlook, and choosing fittings the property can actually run.
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.
Freestanding Baths
A sculptural bath with wall-mounted mixers, set against a tiled feature wall.
Pressure-Matched Tapware
Fittings chosen for the pressure the property actually delivers, not the showroom's.
Garden-Facing Glazing
Obscured and high-level glazing that opens the room to the garden without opening it to the neighbours.
Why Choose Us
A Bathroom Contractor You Only Have to Phone Once
A bathroom fitter installs what you chose. A building contractor asks whether the property can supply it and where the waste is going — which on a Constantia erf with a borehole and a conservancy tank is the question that decides whether the room works. We handle the supply, the drainage, and the finishes as one job.
- One contractor for plumbing, electrical, tiling, joinery, and finishing
- Local team working across the Constantia valley and the mountain-side Southern Suburbs
- Bathrooms specified around borehole, tank, and on-site drainage where the property has them
- Fittings matched to the property's real water pressure rather than assumed municipal supply
- Deliveries and protection planned along long driveways and through established gardens
- Written scope and fixed quote before demolition starts

More Than Bathrooms
Renovating the Rest of the House?
Bathrooms are often the start of a bigger project. As a full building contractor in Constantia, we also handle kitchens, extensions, roofing across the property, and structural alterations — so one team can carry the whole renovation.
Bathroom Renovation FAQs for Constantia Homeowners
Borehole and tank water supply, conservancy and septic drainage capacity, water pressure, phasing several bathrooms, access down long driveways, timelines, and costs.
Do you renovate bathrooms throughout Constantia?
Yes. We work across the valley, from the smaller erven near Constantia Village and Alphen up to the larger properties and smallholdings on the higher slopes, as well as neighbouring Bishopscourt, Wynberg, Tokai, and Bergvliet.
Our house runs off a borehole. Does that change the bathroom?
It changes the specification quite a lot, and it is the thing most often overlooked. Borehole water is frequently harder and can carry iron, which shortens the life of cartridges and shower heads and stains sanitaryware over time. Pressure also behaves differently to municipal supply. We check what actually feeds the house before specifying, so the tapware you choose performs the way it did in the showroom rather than disappointing you in month two.
We are on a conservancy tank, not municipal sewer. Can we still add a bathroom?
Usually, but the system has to be part of the conversation from the start. On the larger Constantia erven drainage often runs to an on-site conservancy or septic system rather than a municipal line, and those have a finite capacity. Adding a bathroom adds load. We look at what is there, tell you whether it can take the additional fixtures, and factor any upgrade into the quote rather than discovering the problem after the room is tiled.
The water pressure is poor upstairs. Can that be improved?
Almost always, and a renovation is the natural time to do it. Poor pressure in a Constantia house is usually tank height, an undersized supply run, or corroded old pipework rather than the source itself. We measure it properly at the site visit and tell you what is achievable — and we do not fit a rain head that needs pressure the property cannot deliver.
We have several bathrooms. Should they all be done at once?
Rarely. We normally phase them so the household always has a working bathroom, starting with whichever is in the worst condition or matters most to you. That also spreads the cost over a sensible period rather than turning the house into a building site in one go.
How do materials and rubble get in and out?
Along a route we agree at the site visit and then protect. Long driveways, gate widths, and established gardens decide where a delivery vehicle can turn and where a skip can stand, so we plan it, board and cover the route, keep material off beds and lawns, and clean up daily.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A single bathroom usually takes three to four weeks on site, and five to six if the layout or plumbing moves. Where the water supply or on-site drainage needs upgrading as part of the job, allow additional time for that work, which we will set out separately in the quote.
