Renovating a Bathroom Shouldn’t Mean Project-Managing It.
A typical bathroom needs at least five trades: plumber, waterproofer, tiler, electrician and painter. Each one depends on the last. When nobody owns the sequence, the homeowner ends up doing the job.
- Juggling separate quotes, calendars and no-shows
- Quotes that look cheap until the “variations” start and the price creeps up
- No one taking responsibility when a leak turns up later
- A bathroom out of action for months instead of weeks

Six Ways We Make It Easier
A single point of contact
One supervisor runs your job from your first call to the final walk-through, and that’s the number you call.
Progress updates every day
Photos and a short note at the end of each work day, so you know where things are without visiting.
Your money stays protected
On larger projects, your funds sit in an independent holding account, not our bank account. We’re only paid once you approve each stage.
We come back to check
We return after six months to check seals, grout and fittings, and fix anything that needs it at no cost.
Start in 1–2 weeks
We limit how many bathrooms we take on at once, so most jobs start within one to two weeks of sign-off.
Your fixtures or ours
Install Only: you choose and buy fixtures with our checklist and budget guide. Supply + Install: we source everything through our trade accounts.
Compare Your Options
Price is only one line. Here’s how the main options compare on the things that cost you time and money later.
| DIY | Hiring trades separately | Typical renovator | Collaborate | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who manages the project | You | You | The company | Collaborate |
| People you deal with | Just you | 4–6 trades | Varies | 1 contact |
| Daily photo updates | ✕ | ✕ | Sometimes | ✓ |
| Fixed price up front | Unpredictable | Extras common | Often | ✓ |
| Funds held in an independent holding account | ✕ | ✕ | Rarely | ✓ |
| Payments released only on your approval | ✕ | ✕ | Rarely | ✓ |
| Builder’s warranty on the whole job | ✕ | Per trade | Varies | ✓ |
| QBCC licensed & insured | ✕ | Check each | Usually | ✓ |
| Free 6-month health check | ✕ | ✕ | Rarely | ✓ |
| Showroom trips | Many | Many | Depends | Optional |
| Risk of cost blowout | High | High | Low–medium | Low |
| Coordination stress | All yours | All yours | Handled | Handled |
The biggest differences: your money is protected, you see progress every day, and we come back at six months.
Spend Around $25K. Add an Estimated $50K–$75K in Value.
A well-built bathroom is estimated to return $2–$3 at sale for every $1 spent. It also helps day to day: modern fixtures cut water use, and you stop paying for emergency repairs on an old bathroom.
Four Steps, Start to Finish
Prepare
We confirm your start date and order tiles and fixtures. Install Only clients get our checklist and budget guide. Supply + Install clients have everything ordered through our trade accounts.
Build
One to three weeks on site, depending on scope. Your supervisor sequences every trade and sends daily photos.
Walk-through & handover
We walk the finished room with you, leak-check every toilet in the house, and hand over your waterproofing certificate.
6-month health check
We come back to inspect, tighten and adjust, then leave you a written report. No charge.
Your Build, Week by Week
A standard single bathroom is guaranteed finished within four weeks. Here’s the order of works.
Demolition
Plumbing and power are safely disconnected. We strip out old tiles, fixtures and waterproofing, with a skip bin on site and a clean-up every day.
Plumbing rough-in
New drainage and water supply lines go in, and everything is pressure tested before it’s covered.
Sheeting & waterproofing
New wall linings go up, and a waterproof membrane is applied to every wet area and left to cure fully. You receive a waterproofing compliance certificate.
Floor prep & tiling
The floor bed is graded to fall to the drain. Then come floor-to-ceiling tiles, the niche, trims and strip drain, followed by grouting and a clean.
Electrical, painting & sealing
Lighting, the exhaust fan and power points go in. The ceiling and exposed walls are painted, and every joint is sealed with silicone.
Fit-off & handover
We install and test the vanity, toilet, mixers, shower rail, towel rail, hooks, mirror and screen. After a final clean, we walk through it with you, and it’s only done once you’re happy.
Daily updates
Progress photos sent to your phone at the end of every work day.
Free 6-month health check
We test the taps and mixers, inspect silicone and grout, tighten accessories, and check drainage and waterproofing transitions. You get a written report.

Site conditions
Tricky access, high-rise apartments and older homes with outdated plumbing can add scope.
Your Money Is Held Safely Until You Approve the Work
After a small deposit within QBCC limits, the rest of your project funds go into a secure, independent holding account. We only get paid for a stage once you’ve seen it and approved it.
Then milestone payments that match completed work. Each payment falls due after its stage, never before.
The other 90% sits in the holding account until you approve each stage.
The maximum QBCC allows. The other 95% sits in the holding account until you approve each stage.
The holding account is run by an independent third party with no connection to Collaborate. We never hold your project funds, and if there’s ever a disagreement, the provider acts as a neutral mediator.
Funds go in
When you sign, the balance goes into a holding account set up for your project. It’s not in the builder’s account.
We complete a stage
You get photos and a walk-through of each finished milestone.
You approve, we’re paid
Money for a stage is released only when you sign off on it. If something isn’t right, we fix it first.
Example: $25,500 medium bathroom
Every payment schedule follows QBCC guidelines: deposits are capped and progress payments match the work completed.
Common Questions
Which areas do you cover?
We renovate bathrooms right across the Gold Coast, as well as Logan and Brisbane. Call 0459 765 941 or request a quote below, and we’ll confirm we can get to you on the first call. The first chat is free, with no obligation.
What’s included in a full bathroom renovation?
We strip the room back to the frame and rebuild it. That covers demolition and waste removal, plumbing, wall sheeting, waterproofing to Australian Standards, floor-to-ceiling tiling, electrical, painting, silicone and installing every fixture. We manage all the trades, and you also get daily photo updates and the free 6-month health check.
What’s the difference between Install Only and Supply + Install?
The construction, trades, quality and warranty are the same in both. The only difference is who sources the tiles and fixtures. With Install Only, you buy them using our checklist and budget guide. With Supply + Install, we supply everything through our trade accounts: rimless toilet, wall-hung vanity with stone top, tapware, frameless screen, accessories, mirror, exhaust fan, niche and tiles. You just pick a finish, so there are no showroom trips. Already own a vanity or toilet? We credit our item and install yours. Want a different product? We can swap it and show you the price difference up front.
How long will it take, and when can you start?
A single bathroom takes about three to four weeks. That includes weekends off and curing time for waterproofing and adhesives. Complex jobs, layout changes or fixtures with long lead times can add time. You get the full schedule before we start, and most jobs start within one to two weeks of confirmation.
How does the 4-week guarantee work?
A standard single bathroom is finished within four weeks. The clock starts once your fixtures are chosen and ordered and the install deposit is paid, not from your first enquiry. Hidden issues such as old pipework or concealed water damage can add time. If we find one, we tell you the same day, with photos and a revised finish date, before we continue.
How do payments work?
Smaller jobs use milestone payments that fall due after each stage. For jobs of $10,000 or more, you pay a 10% or 5% deposit and the balance goes into an independent holding account. Funds for each stage are released to us only after you approve the completed work, and the provider mediates if there’s ever a dispute. The full schedule is written into your contract.
Who holds my money during the job?
An independent holding account provider with no connection to Collaborate. We never hold your project funds. Money for each stage is released only when you approve it, and the provider acts as a neutral mediator if there’s ever a dispute.
Do I need to move out?
Usually not. Most clients stay home. We protect your floors, keep disruption to a minimum and clean up at the end of every work day. It’s easier if you have a second bathroom, and if you don’t, we’ll plan around that with you.
What if you find something unexpected behind the walls?
Old bathrooms can hide water damage, rotten timber, framing problems or old materials. If we find something, we stop straight away, show you, explain your options and give you a written quote before going further. If we suspect asbestos, work stops and we arrange testing. If removal is needed, a licensed specialist does it, and you only pay for that if it’s actually required.
What warranty and insurance apply?
Structural work, including waterproofing, is covered for 6 years and 6 months under the QBCC Home Warranty Scheme. Non-structural and cosmetic work is covered for 12 months. Every job comes with a waterproofing compliance certificate. Collaborate Construction Pty Ltd holds QBCC licence no. 15060764 (Builder – Low Rise and Carpentry) and is fully insured.
What happens after handover?
We walk through the finished room together, test everything and leak-check every toilet in the house. You get your warranty documents and waterproofing certificate. About six months later we come back for a free health check, valued at $249. We test the taps and mixers, inspect silicone and grout, tighten accessories, check drainage and look for early wear, then leave you a written report.
Why not just hire separate trades?
You can, but it means managing five or more quotes and calendars. One late trade pushes back every trade after it, and when trades disagree about whose fault something is, you’re the one stuck in the middle. With us, you get one team, one price and one contact, and we take full responsibility for the result. You also get the holding account, daily updates and the 6-month check.
Do you work on apartments, townhouses and older homes?
Yes, all three, including high-rise apartments on the coast. We’re used to strata and body corporate rules, difficult access such as upper floors and shared lifts, and older plumbing and framing. We assess access at the start and build it into your quote, so there are no surprises later.
