Bathrooms & laundries

Wet Areas Are Where Builds Fail Most

Bathrooms and laundries demand a higher construction standard than any other room. Incorrect waterproofing, poor falls or rushed tiling regularly cause long-term damage. A large portion of our work comes from fixing other builders’ mistakes. At Matini Building, we build wet areas with a disciplined approach, fully insured for your peace of mind.

Service Overview

Demolition

Professional bathroom and laundry demolition performed safely and methodically to prepare wet areas for compliant reconstruction.

Floor Levelling

Creation of flat stable base that ensures drainage and prevents pooling & mould growth, whilst looking seamless from a aesthetic standpoint.

Waterproofing

Licensed waterproofing installed to Australian Standards, including compliant membrane systems, correct substrate preparation, floor wastes, puddle flanges, falls and compatibility with finishes. Much of our work comes from rectifying failed bathrooms where these steps were skipped, so we take a very disciplined approach to waterproofing these spaces.

Tiling

Durable, waterproof surfaces with design impact. We usually go for Porcelain and ceramic tiles in traditional, Subway, Mosaic, and Terrazzo styles, while focusing on level installation and clean detailing.

Plumbing

Licensed plumbing for bathroom and laundry renovations, including drainage, waste and water services, coordinated to support waterproofing and tile finishes.

Gyprock and Ceilings

Walls and ceilings installed straight, level and true, providing clean lines, correct falls and a solid base of moisture-resistant gyprock for waterproofing, tiling and final finishes.

Electrical

From installing new fixtures to upgrading your entire electrical system. Typically we suggest our renovation clients go for a heat, fan and light combination unit. This combination is a great choice for bathroom renovations as it provides heating, ventilation, and lighting from a single ceiling unit controlled by one wall plate switch.

Carpentry and rendering

Structural and finish carpentry delivered with the same precision as our tiling and stonework, including structural works, substrates, door resizes, and niches. We love to enhance storage and organization in bathrooms with recessed shelves built into shower walls, for a neat waterproof nook for toiletries.

Painting

We have many projects that work better with a half wall instead of floor to ceiling tiling. The half wall tiled bathroom opens up the door for painted walls on the top half of your wall. This approach works best in powder rooms, small bathrooms and laundry renovations, where a lighter upper wall makes the space feel larger. It's important to choose painted surfaces wisely, as shower areas need at least 1.8 meters height of wall tiles, anything less can leave your walls vulnerable to water damage.
