Bathroom renovations in Cardinia Lakes.

Cardinia Lakes is one of Pakenham’s original early-2000s estates, which means its bathrooms are hitting the age where the original waterproofing fails and the fit-out looks dated. We strip those tired wet areas back to substrate, re-waterproof to AS 3740 and rebuild them properly — fixed price, one team.

Why Cardinia Lakes

The Cardinia Lakes bathroom story.

Early-2000s estate, ageing wet areas.

Cardinia Lakes was part of Pakenham’s first big estate wave, so the original builder bathrooms are now 15 to 20-plus years old. The waterproofing membranes from that era have reached the end of their service life — they crack at the floor-to-wall junction and fail behind the shower hob, and water starts tracking into the substrate and the room next door. Failing waterproofing combined with dated tiling and fixtures is exactly why full-renovation and re-waterproofing demand is so strong here.

Re-waterproofing is half the work.

A large share of our Cardinia Lakes jobs start as a leak. We strip the affected wet area back to substrate, dry and repair it, and re-waterproof to AS 3740 before re-tiling. Where the failure is contained to the shower we can do a targeted waterproofing remediation; where the membrane has failed widely a full bathroom renovation is the better spend, and we tell you honestly which one your bathroom needs.

A worked Cardinia Lakes example.

A typical 6m² Cardinia Lakes main bathroom — full strip-out, re-waterproof to AS 3740, floor-to-ceiling tiling, frameless screen, wall-hung vanity and back-to-wall toilet — comes in around $24,000: roughly $4,500 demolition and make-good, $3,200 waterproofing and screed, $6,800 tiling and materials, $4,500 plumbing rough-in and fit-off, $1,800 electrical and $3,200 fixtures and tapware.
