Your Local Tokai Bathroom Contractor
Room to Work With, and Weather to Design For
Tokai bathrooms tend to be the opposite problem to the rest of the Southern Suburbs. There is usually enough space — main en-suites here are generous, and the houses are newer — so the question is what to do with it. A double shower instead of a single, a vanity two people can use at once, or the en-suite and dressing area planned as one sequence rather than two afterthoughts.
What Tokai does not forgive is poor ventilation. This is one of the coldest, wettest corners of the city, and a bathroom with an extractor venting into the roof will show you exactly that by the second winter. We specify extraction, heating, and waterproofing for the conditions here, then build the finishes on top of that.
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.
Plumbing
Re-routed pipework, new drainage, geyser and heat pump connections, and wall-mounted mixers.
Waterproofing
Showers, wet zones, and floors sealed properly before a single tile goes down.
Ventilation & Damp Control
Ducted extraction that actually vents outside, so the wet Tokai winter does not end up on your ceiling.
Underfloor Heating
Electric mats laid into the screed and zoned, for bathrooms that face south and never warm up.
Tiling
Large-format porcelain, terrazzo, and feature tiling set with clean lines and level joints.
Joinery & Vanities
Floating double vanities, dressing-room cabinetry, and storage built to fit the room.
Fixtures & Fittings
Freestanding baths, wall-hung toilets, frameless glass, and tapware installed and tested.
Design Details
The Details That Lift a Tokai Bathroom
With a larger room, the difference between good and ordinary is in the planning rather than the square metres. These are the features Tokai homeowners ask us for most often.
Large Walk-In Showers
Curbless double showers with frameless glass — the main upgrade a bigger Tokai en-suite allows.
En-Suite & Dressing Room
Opening the main bedroom, dressing area, and en-suite into one sequence that flows properly.
Freestanding Baths
A sculptural bath with wall-mounted mixers, set against a tiled feature wall with a mountain view.
Double Vanities
Floating timber units with twin counter-top basins and drawers that hold a family's worth of things.
Warm Floors
Underfloor heating and heated towel rails, which matter more here than anywhere else in the south.
Guest Loos with Presence
Deep colour, brushed brass tapware, and warm lighting in the smaller rooms off the hallway.
Why Choose Us
A Bathroom Contractor You Only Have to Phone Once

- Local team working across Tokai, Steenberg, and the deep Southern Suburbs

- Ventilation and damp specified for Tokai's wet, cold winters — not an afterthought
- Written scope and fixed quote before demolition starts
- Site kept clean and sealed off while you carry on living at home

More Than Bathrooms
Renovating the Rest of the House?
Bathrooms are often the start of a bigger project. As a full building contractor in Tokai, we also handle kitchens, extensions, granny flats, roofing, ceilings, and damp and drainage repairs — so one team can carry the whole renovation.
Bathroom Renovation FAQs for Tokai Homeowners
Estate rules and access, ventilation for wet winters, timelines, costs, and how to get a quote for your Tokai bathroom.
Do you renovate bathrooms throughout Tokai?
Yes. We work across Tokai — the older streets below the main road, the newer developments up towards the forest, and the security estates — as well as neighbouring Steenberg, Kirstenhof, Bergvliet, Meadowridge, Constantia, and Retreat.
Can you work inside a security estate or HOA?
We do it regularly. We work within the estate's approved building hours, book contractor access and vehicle permits through the office, keep the verges and common areas clean, and submit the scope in whatever form the HOA or architectural committee needs before we start. Where the estate has design guidelines that affect anything visible, we work to those.
Why do you make so much of ventilation in Tokai bathrooms?
Because Tokai is one of the wettest, coldest pockets in the Southern Suburbs, and it shows up in bathrooms. Many homes here have an extractor that vents into the roof space or nothing at all, so every shower puts moisture into the ceiling and behind the tiles. We fit properly sized extraction ducted to the outside, and where the room is south-facing we usually recommend underfloor heating and a heated rail as well.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A straightforward Tokai bathroom usually takes three to four weeks on site. A larger main en-suite, a layout change, or waiting on imported tiles and fittings can push that to five or six weeks. Estate access rules can affect the programme too, and we confirm a realistic timeline with your quote.
What does a bathroom renovation cost in Tokai?
Most full bathroom renovations fall between R40,000 and R150,000 depending on size, finishes, and whether the layout changes. Tokai en-suites are often larger than the Southern Suburbs average, so a full main bathroom rebuild with bespoke joinery can sit above that. We quote per bathroom after a site visit.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
In most cases, yes. Most Tokai homes have more than one bathroom, which makes this straightforward. We seal off the work area, protect passages and floors, and clean up daily so the rest of the house stays livable.
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.
How do I get a quote for my Tokai bathroom?
Get in touch to arrange a free site visit. We assess the existing bathroom, check the estate's requirements where they apply, discuss layout and finishes, and send you a written quote covering the full scope of work.
