Sandringham’s Edwardian weatherboards and beachside homes have a character worth protecting, and bathrooms that often need more than a cosmetic refresh. Peter Conlan Bathrooms renovates across Sandringham and the village, ten minutes from our Parkdale base.

Renovating bathrooms in Sandringham homes

Older weatherboard homes sit on timber subfloors, and that changes how a bathroom should be built: the substrate, waterproofing detail and floor build-up all need to be designed for a floor that moves with the seasons. It is exactly the kind of work where a licensed, experienced builder earns their keep, because what matters most is invisible once the tiles are down.

Many of our Sandringham clients are also thinking ahead, whether that is a walk-in shower to replace a step-over bath, better lighting, or fittings that will still work well in ten years. We build bathrooms that suit coastal light and a relaxed way of living, without dating quickly.

Why Peter Conlan Bathrooms

Peter Conlan is a true bathroom expert: a licensed plumber (No. 36230) and licensed builder (VBA DB-L 69674) with more than 30 years in the trade and a portfolio of over 650 bespoke bathrooms across Melbourne’s Bayside.

The service is personal from start to finish. When you call, you speak to Peter, not a salesperson. Peter comes to your door to measure and quote, and during the build he is on site himself, working alongside and overseeing his small team of skilled Bayside tradespeople. Custom vanities are crafted by our own master cabinet maker, so storage is built for your bathroom rather than bought off the shelf.

Quotes are free and without obligation, and can be arranged on weekends to suit your household.

Frequently asked questions

Our home has timber floors. Does that complicate a renovation?

It changes how the work is done rather than whether it can be done. Timber subfloors need the right substrate and waterproofing detail, which we design for as standard in older Bayside homes. Done properly, the finished floor is as solid and dry as any slab.

Can you future-proof our bathroom?

Yes. Walk-in showers, stronger wall backing for future rails, non-slip flooring and good lighting can all be built in now without the room looking clinical. We also carry out full accessibility modifications where more is needed.

What styles suit a Sandringham home?

Light, coastal palettes, natural textures and classic fittings tend to sit best in weatherboard and beachside homes, but the design follows your taste. Peter will bring examples from recent Bayside projects when he visits to quote.
