Bathroom Renovations in Caulfield
Caulfield bathrooms are usually small, tiled to shoulder height and sitting on a timber floor that has moved. The renovation starts with what is under the tiles, not with the tapware.
LOCAL STOCK · WHAT WE FIND
The rooms behind the front doors
Interwar brick homes around Caulfield often have a compact bathroom off the hallway with the laundry beyond it, which is why the two are frequently renovated together.
Period houses closer to Balaclava Road tend to have high ceilings and later rear additions, so the wet area sits on a different floor level to the rest of the house.
Walk-up units near the station usually have a single bathroom with a shower over the bath and limited access for waste removal — both need to be planned into the program.
Practical constraints worth flagging early: parking and skip placement, body corporate approvals for units, and whether the house has a second toilet while the room is out of action.
SURFACE REFERENCE · SQUARE FORMAT
Small rooms take a small tile well
A square tile in a two-tone grid gives a compact Caulfield bathroom some order without the cutting waste of a large format on short walls. It also copes better with the slight bows you get in older plaster and brick.
