Bathroom Renovations in Meadowridge

Your Local Meadowridge Bathroom Contractor
The Bathroom That Came With the House
Meadowridge is single-storey family homes on generous plots, most of them built between the 1960s and the 1980s, and a surprising number are still on the original bathroom. The layout is always the same: a small bathroom with a bath under the window, a separate WC cubicle next door, and no room to do anything useful in either.
Take out that dividing wall and the room stops being cramped. It also becomes the right moment to think about the next twenty years — a level-access shower, a slip-rated floor, and rails set into the tiling cost very little while the walls are already open, and they mean you are not doing this again in a decade.
What's Included
Every Trade Your Bathroom Renovation Needs
You appoint one contractor. We take care of the full scope, from the first sledgehammer to the final silicone bead.
Strip-Out & Prep
Careful demolition, rubble removal, and dust protection for the rest of your home.
Opening Up the Layout
Removing the wall to the separate WC or a redundant cupboard, with lintels where they are needed.
Plumbing
Fifty-year-old pipework replaced, drainage re-set for the new layout, and wall-mounted mixers.
Waterproofing
Showers, wet zones, and floors sealed properly before a single tile goes down.
Level-Access Showers
Curbless showers with correct falls, so there is no step to climb over now or later.
Electrical & Lighting
Downlights, mirror and niche lighting, extractor fans, and circuits brought up to standard.
Joinery & Vanities
Floating timber vanities, cupboards, and storage built to fit the room you end up with.
Tiling & Finishing
Slip-rated floors, full-height wall tiling, moisture-resistant paint, and the detailing that ties it together.
Design Details
The Details That Lift a Meadowridge Bathroom
Once the two rooms become one, there is real floor area to plan with. These are the features Meadowridge homeowners ask us for most often, and the ones that keep working long after the renovation.
One Room, Not Two
Losing the WC cubicle wall is what turns a cramped 1970s bathroom into a family one.
Level-Access Showers
No step, no lip, no shower tray — easier to clean now and easier to use in twenty years.
Adding an En-Suite
Carving a second bathroom off the main bedroom, so the family bathroom stops being a bottleneck.
Grab Rails That Look Deliberate
Matte black or brushed rails set into the tiling, so support reads as design rather than hardware.
Slip-Rated Floors
Textured porcelain that stays safe wet, without the grout-trap texture of old ceramic mosaics.
Better Light & Extraction
Bigger obscured glazing, layered lighting, and real extraction in rooms built with almost none.
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. When you have one bathroom and it is out of action, those gaps are the difference between three weeks and two months. Running the whole job ourselves removes them.
- One contractor for plumbing, electrical, tiling, joinery, and finishing
- Local team working across Meadowridge and the deep Southern Suburbs
- Experience opening up 1960s and 70s layouts without touching what holds the house up
- Ground-floor work, so no lift bookings, no trustees, and no flat below to protect
- Level-access and future-proof detailing when you plan to stay in the house
- Written scope and fixed quote before demolition starts

Bathroom Renovation FAQs for Meadowridge Homeowners
Combining the bathroom and separate WC, level-access showers, timelines, costs, and how to get a quote for your Meadowridge bathroom.
Do you renovate bathrooms throughout Meadowridge?
Yes. We work right across Meadowridge, and in the surrounding deep Southern Suburbs — Bergvliet, Diep River, Plumstead, Southfield, Tokai, Kirstenhof, and Constantia. Our offices are in Plumstead, so we are close by.
Can you knock the separate toilet into the bathroom?
It is the most common change we make in Meadowridge. These houses were built with a small bathroom and a separate WC cubicle next to it, and taking out that dividing wall gives you one properly sized room with space for a walk-in shower and a double vanity. We check whether the wall is carrying load first — if it is, we put in a lintel rather than telling you it cannot be done.
Can you design the bathroom so it still works as we get older?
Yes, and a lot of our Meadowridge clients ask for exactly this because they have no intention of moving. A level-access shower with no step, slip-rated floor tiles, grab rails set into the tiling so they look deliberate, a comfort-height toilet, and a door that opens wide enough all cost very little extra while the room is already open. Done now, it saves a second renovation later.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A straightforward Meadowridge bathroom usually takes three to four weeks on site. Combining the bathroom and WC, replacing old pipework, or adding an en-suite can push that to five or six weeks. We confirm a realistic timeline with your quote.
What does a bathroom renovation cost in Meadowridge?
Most full bathroom renovations fall between R40,000 and R150,000 depending on size, finishes, and whether the layout changes. Removing a wall or adding an en-suite sits at the upper end. We quote per bathroom after a site visit so the figure reflects your actual room and material choices.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
In most cases, yes. We seal off the work area, protect passages and floors, and clean up daily. If your home only has one bathroom, we plan the plumbing shut-downs and the order of work to keep the disruption as short as possible.
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, so you deal with one contractor and one point of accountability.
