Straight answers on what it costs and how long it takes.
We renovate bathrooms and kitchens across Frankston, Frankston South, Mount Eliza, Mornington and Seaford. Based in Clayton, about 40 minutes up the freeway.
Two fields. We call you back within one business day with an indicative price.
Frankston and the northern Peninsula cover a wider range of housing than the inner suburbs. Post war and 1960s homes through central Frankston, a lot of 1970s and 80s brick veneer through Frankston North and Carrum Downs, larger older homes and newer builds around Frankston South and Mount Eliza, and estate housing further east.
That range creates a fairly predictable set of renovation issues.
Central Frankston has a lot of housing from the 1950s through the 1970s, much of it with the original bathroom still in place or last done decades ago. The usual story. Waterproofing that has failed or was never installed, and plumbing worth replacing rather than reusing.
One genuine advantage down here. Wider driveways, side access and somewhere to put a skip. That makes the job easier and it means fewer of the access problems that add cost in tight inner suburban streets.
In Frankston South, Mount Eliza and along the foreshore, salt air affects tapware, shower screen fittings and exhaust fans the same way it does in Bayside. Not as severe as being two streets from the water in Brighton, but worth factoring into fixture choice.
Frankston South and Mount Eliza jobs often sit at a higher specification than central Frankston. We quote what the job actually needs rather than pushing the same package at everyone.
Common in 1980s and 90s homes here. Usually small, often with awkward plumbing, and frequently under ventilated.
Frankston sits in the City of Frankston. Mount Eliza, Mornington and everything further south sit in the Mornington Peninsula Shire. Two different councils, and it matters if you are near the boundary.
In either council. Keeping the same layout and not touching the exterior generally makes it building work rather than planning work.
Mornington Peninsula Shire has additional overlays in some coastal and environmentally significant areas, and there are areas with vegetation protection. Those affect external work and extensions rather than internal bathrooms. Frankston has fewer overlays overall than the inner east.
Before you spend anything we tell you which council you are in, whether your property is affected, and whether your job is likely to need a permit.
We work in Mount Eliza regularly, and it is worth its own section rather than a mention in a list.
The housing is generally larger and older than central Frankston, with a good number of homes from the 1960s through to the 1990s on bigger blocks, plus more recent builds closer to the water.
Two things come up more often in Mount Eliza than in Frankston. Bathrooms that are larger than average, which changes the tiling and fixture budget. And salt air where homes sit closer to the bay, which is worth allowing for in tapware and shower screen choice.
Same approach either way. Fixed price agreed before we start, and an honest answer about what your budget covers.
Ranges, not a single number. You get a fixed price in writing once we have measured.

Failed waterproofing in original post war bathrooms. Whether the plumbing is being moved. Fixture specification, which varies a lot between central Frankston and Mount Eliza. Coastal exposure closer to the bay.
Better site access than the inner suburbs. Room for a skip and somewhere to park. That does not sound like much but it takes real time out of a job.
Full strip out, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tiling, cabinetry and fit off. One team from start to finish.
New cabinetry, benchtops and appliances, including opening up a rear kitchen into the living area.
Common in 1980s and 90s homes across Frankston and Carrum Downs.

We renovate across Frankston and the northern Mornington Peninsula including Frankston South, Frankston North, Mount Eliza, Mornington, Seaford, Carrum Downs, Langwarrin and Chelsea.
The things people in Frankston actually ask us before they call.
Yes. We are based in Clayton, about 40 minutes up the freeway, and we work across Frankston, Frankston South, Mount Eliza and Mornington regularly. If you are further south than Mornington call and ask, and we will tell you honestly.
No. Our pricing does not change by suburb. Site access down here is usually easier than the inner suburbs, which tends to balance out the travel.
Bathroom renovations here start from $8,000. The range is wider here than in some suburbs because specification varies a lot between central Frankston and Mount Eliza. We give you a fixed price after we have measured.
Yes, both regularly. Mount Eliza especially. Note that Mount Eliza and Mornington are in Mornington Peninsula Shire rather than the City of Frankston, which occasionally matters for permits on exterior work.
Usually an original bathroom with waterproofing that has failed or was never there, and plumbing better replaced than reused. That is normal for the era and we look for it at the quote stage.
Closer to the foreshore and in parts of Mount Eliza, yes. Salt air corrodes tapware, shower screen fittings and exhaust fans faster. We will tell you where better grade fixtures are worth the money and where they are not.
Usually two to four weeks on site. We give you a schedule with the quote.
