Your Local Wynberg Bathroom Contractor
Old Houses Hide Their Problems Behind the Tiles
Wynberg has some of the oldest housing stock in the Southern Suburbs — Victorian cottages and semis in the village, terraces with narrow passages, and family homes that have been added to more than once. In most of them the bathroom was never part of the original plan. It was built onto the back years later, on a floor that was not designed to be wet, with pipework that has been quietly failing ever since.
So we open things up and look before we commit to a price. That means the quote covers the pipe run that has to be replaced and the soft patch of floor that has to be rebuilt, instead of those turning up halfway through as an awkward conversation.
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 & Investigation
Careful demolition in an old cottage, with the walls and floor opened up and looked at before anything is priced.
Replacing Old Pipework
Galvanised and lead-jointed runs taken out and replaced, rather than tiled over for another decade.
Floors & Substrates
Rotten timber floors, failed screeds, and soft patches under the old tiles cut out and rebuilt solid.
Waterproofing
Showers, wet zones, and floors sealed properly before a single tile goes down.
Electrical & Lighting
New circuits, extractor fans, mirror and niche lighting, brought up to current standards.
Tiling
Tiles set out to work with the wonky walls and settled floors that come with a Victorian cottage.
Joinery & Vanities
Vanities and storage built to fit a room that is almost never a true rectangle.
Damp & Ventilation
Rising and penetrating damp treated, and real extraction fitted so the new work stays dry.
Design Details
The Details That Lift a Wynberg Bathroom
In a cottage bathroom every centimetre is already spoken for, so the gains come from freeing up floor and letting light in. These are the moves that work best in an older Wynberg home.
Reclaiming the Lean-To
Squaring up a bathroom that was tacked onto the back of the cottage decades after it was built.
Shower Over the Bath
Where the floor area genuinely will not take both, one well-detailed combination beats two cramped ones.
Wall-Hung Everything
Hung toilets and basins with the cistern concealed, so the floor reads clear and feels bigger.
High-Level Windows
Keeping the original sash or fanlight for light and air, with obscured glass and a proper sill detail.
Cavity Sliding Doors
A pocket door recovers the swing space a hinged door steals from a two-metre-wide room.
Period-Sympathetic Finishes
Encaustic-look floors, panelled detailing, and black tapware that suit the age of the house.
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. In an old house, where half the work is what you find rather than what you planned, those gaps stretch into weeks. Running the whole job ourselves removes them.
- One contractor for plumbing, electrical, tiling, joinery, and finishing
- Local team working across Wynberg and the surrounding Southern Suburbs
- Experience with Victorian cottages, semis, and Wynberg Village conservation properties
- Old pipework and soft floors dealt with properly, not tiled over
- Written scope and fixed quote before demolition starts
- Landlord-friendly scheduling for rental units between tenants

You can see one of ours in the walk-in shower we built on a Wynberg flat renovation.
More Than Bathrooms
Renovating the Rest of the House?
Bathrooms are often the start of a bigger project in an older home. As a full building contractor in Wynberg, we also handle kitchens, extensions, roofing, damp repairs, and structural alterations — so one team can carry the whole renovation.
Bathroom Renovation FAQs for Wynberg Homeowners
Old pipework, cottage floors, conservation-area work, timelines, costs, and how to get a quote for your Wynberg bathroom.
Do you renovate bathrooms throughout Wynberg?
Yes. We work across Wynberg — the older cottages and semis in Wynberg Village and the conservation area, the family homes on the upper side, and the flats and complexes closer to Maynard Mall and the station — as well as neighbouring Plumstead, Diep River, Kenilworth, Claremont, and Bergvliet.
What do you usually find in an older Wynberg bathroom?
Old pipework and a tired floor. Many Wynberg bathrooms were added to the back of the cottage long after it was built, sitting on suspended timber or a thin screed that has been leaked on for years. Behind the tiles we regularly find galvanised pipe at the end of its life. We open up and investigate before we finalise the price, show you what is there, and quote the repair properly rather than tiling over it.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A straightforward Wynberg bathroom usually takes three to four weeks on site. Replacing old pipework, repairing the floor, or changing the layout can push that to five or six weeks. We confirm a realistic timeline with your quote.
What does a bathroom renovation cost in Wynberg?
Most full bathroom renovations fall between R40,000 and R150,000 depending on size, finishes, and whether the layout changes. In an older cottage, replacing pipework and rebuilding a failed floor can add to that, which is why we quote after a site visit rather than off a floor plan.
My house is in a conservation area — does that affect the work?
Internal bathroom work generally does not, since it does not touch the street-facing fabric of the house. Where a job involves an external window, a new opening, or anything visible from the road, we flag it early and set the scope out so you can get the approvals you need before we start.
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 the cottage 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.
