Small bathrooms in Melbourne come in a few recognisable types, each with its own constraints. Single-fronted terraces through Fitzroy, Richmond, Yarraville and Seddon often have rear wet areas under skillion roofs, shared bathrooms and laundries, low head height and timber subfloors on stumps — where combining the two rooms is usually the best use of space. Period apartments in St Kilda, Elwood and Carlton bring different challenges, including concrete slabs that limit floor waste positions, body corporate approvals, restricted work hours and lift bookings for material deliveries. Post-war brick homes across Melbourne's eastern and northern suburbs typically have compact bathrooms around 1.8m by 2.4m with separate toilets, where removing the dividing wall can create enough room for a walk-in shower without changing the external footprint. With our experience in Small Bathroom Renovations Melbourne, we tailor every layout to the property and explain honestly during the site visit which changes are worth the investment and which are not.
