Ensuite Renovation
Elevate your private haven. Skilled renovation, modern design, and efficient spatial planning for a luxurious, personalised ensuite.
Plumbing & Tiling
Ensure bathroom longevity. The trend is for bigger tiles and choosing tiles over vinyl assists in providing a hard wearing surface on floors and walls. To minimize cleaning of grout go for big tiles E.g. 600x600mm for a durable, finish.
Ensuite Installation
Adding an ensuite to a home can add a lot of value and amenity to a property for later resale. If you are competing in the resale market adding an ensuite can make the sale. Ensuites in a family situation allow parents some privacy and make bathrooms be more than just a bathing area, elevating them to a living space.
Full Bathroom Installation
Simplify with a one-stop solution. Quality materials, efficient space use, and expert craftsmanship for a fully functional, aesthetically pleasing bathroom.
Shower Installation
A shower is something you use almost everyday. Some are morning shower people some are evening shower people. Which ever it is you want a good shower with good pressure. So what is a good shower? It needs to be a solid product as it gets a lot of use. The shower mixer in particular has to be long lasting as its not that easy to service. The shower rose or slide needs to be solid again its going to get a lot of use. If you are selling the house something generic and not over the top. Stick with white and chrome fittings.
Bathroom Product List
Choosing the Products.
- Shower Enclosure
- Shower fittings mixer and rose.
- Toilet Suite – Back to wall model.
- Vanity unit and tap.
- Flooring
- Lighting.
- Are you wanting the walls replaced for a better finish.
- Are you wanting the wooden window sills covered with PVC covers to stop the paint peeling.
- What ventilation do you need. Window or Fan.
- What is the extent of the tiles just floors or walls.
- Tile colours for floor and walls.
- Is there to be any decorative tiles.
- Under floor tile electric heating.
- Heated towel rail.
- Are any fittings to be shifted. Try and keep them in the same location if possible if you are keeping to a tight budget.
Basin Taps
There is a wide range of basin taps.
Swivel types, Hi Rise types. Small taps for small basins.
Chrome and coloured taps.
Wall Hung Toilet Pans
Wall hung toilets have concealed cisterns and are great for small bathrooms and are easy clean with a lot less real estate to clean. Seats can be soft close.
Bidet Seats
This is an increasing market. But there is a hook in that the models that do not have a thing called a Vacuum breaker need to have a back flow valve installed.
A number of bidet seats have a potential to discharge human waste into the water supply if the bowl is full and the water is turned off and the valve is open. To get round this unlikely but possible situation a vacuum breaker valve needs to be fitted, or a special back flow device as bidets are classified as high hazard and the valve fitted is an RPZ short for Reduced Pressure Zone device. Essentially it stops the bad water entering your water supply and you then drinking it. It could get you, and your family, and neighbours very sick or worse.
Real Bidets
Alternatively you could get a real European bidet with an over the rim tap which has an adjustable nozzle which complies with the high hazard requirements as its above the rim. Or you could get an under the rim model with sprayer which will need a high hazard device or tank unit with a air gap to comply. The over the rim models are easiest and cheaper to install.

What to look for in Bathroom Fixtures
Showers –
The prices for showers ranges from $500 to $5000. So what is the different between the cheapest and the midrange.
The tray is thicker and not designed for long lasting use and heavier people.
The glass enclosure is also thicker and the door hinges are stronger. The powder coating is thicker and long lasting. Cheap showers last 4-8 years.
Shower mixers are sold for shower flow control and automatic temperature control some are thermostatic ie they keep the temperature constant.
Slide Rails – are more solid and long lasting.
Shower Systems come in two main types live and non live. The live ones have to be piped up for the water to enter the rail from behind. The non live slide rails, the outlet elbow is to one side. So each type has to have the in wall piping changed to suite the rail.
Vanity Basins
Vanities come in many widths and heights the standard sizes are 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1000, and 1050mm and 1200mm. There are some odd sizes and even bespoke vanities that are custom built you user specifications.
Cheaper vanities have no treated timber which means if water soaks into the timber it is likely to swell up. The more expensive vanities have treated timber so they last longer and the tops are china.
Vanity Drawers
Go for drawers if you have the budget as they usually hold more and things are much easier to find in drawers.
Basins
Basins are ok in mall bathrooms but you need some storage from perhaps a wall cupboard.
Basins come in a range of sizes and are relatively cheap to buy and install.
Toilet Suites
Cheaper toilet suites are not usually glazed on the inside where as more expensive toilets are fully glazed so smell less. You get what you pay for.
The models to go for are back to wall types and not close coupled.
If doing a more expensive up grade where the wall linings are being upgraded we put the water inlet hidden behind the cistern so it is not seen and does not have piping to be cleaned.
Pick a model with a soft close seat and solid hinges. We can recommend some. There are rimless models for a more modern look.
For retro fitting existing plumbing pick a model that has an adjustable outlet S and P Trap and a wide set out range as this reduces the chance of altering existing plumbing.

Affordable Bathroom Renovation
Our bathroom renovation services are budget-friendly for all households. We have made a list of things you can do on a budget while maintaining a luxurious feel and look of the bathroom:
1. Keep to brands that are in stock. That brand would be LeVivi for
tapware, toilet suites, shower enclosures, and vanities.
2. No tiles other than a few above vanity.
3. Use a vanity with a drawer instead of a wall cabinet.
4. Use a 900x900mm shower enclosure.
5. If you have only one bathroom available, then we can offer you our Customer Apartment for a few nights, so we don’t have to arrange temporary plumbing.
6. Keep the fittings in the same location if possible to reduce costs.
7. If there is going to be a bath and it has a shower over keep it away from windows which are difficult to seal.

Why Hire Southern for Bathroom Renovations Wellington?
There are lots of things that we can do to renovate your bathroom. Here is a list of some of them –
- Change lights to LED.
- Remove walls dividing old wooden showers. This makes the bathroom a lot bigger and easier to clean.
- Get rid of old Seratone lined showers and install a round-cornered glass lined shower enclosure. They are the best as there is no water dripping on the floor from the door opening.
- Upgrade shower mixers to lever action mixers.
- Bathroom tiling such as bathroom splashback, bathtub surround tiling and more.
- If there is a low-pressure shower, at least upgrade the cold to high pressure. If you have a high-pressure water heater then both can be upgraded.
- Change the toilet to a toilet suite. Preferably back to the wall and soft close seat.
- Wall-hung pans are great. They make small bathrooms bigger and they are easier to clean.
- Wall-hung vanities are another great option.
- You can get wall cupboards for extra storage.
- Windows inside showers – avoid if at all possible. If you cannot get rid of them install acrylic window liners.
- Larger tiles are better than having small tiles in the bathroom. Cleaning small tiles is a nightmare.
