Thoughtful bathroom and laundry design, backed by thirty years of hands-on experience.

 

Renovate your bathroom and laundry with Melbourne’s bespoke cabinetry specialists

Your bathroom gets used every single day. So does your laundry. So when either space starts to feel dated, cramped, or no longer works for your household, a renovation can make a real difference to how you move through your home.

The Kitchen Design Centre designs, manufactures, and installs custom cabinetry for laundry and bathroom renovations across Melbourne. Everything is handled in-house, from initial design through to factory build and final installation. You work with one team, and the result stays true to what you agreed on from day one.

 

What is included in a bathroom renovation?

A complete bathroom renovation covers vanity cabinetry, benchtops, tiling, waterproofing, fixtures, storage solutions, and full installation. These elements make up the full scope of work, and every one affects how your bathroom looks, functions, and holds up over time.

TKDC manages all bathroom renovation services under one team. Your design, cabinetry manufacturing, and installation are handled by the same people, with fewer handovers and a more consistent result throughout.

 

Custom bathroom and laundry cabinetry made in Melbourne

All cabinetry is designed and built at TKDC’s own Melbourne factory by qualified tradespeople using precision manufacturing equipment. Every piece is custom-measured for your specific space. There are no flat-pack shortcuts or modular compromises.

Our Australian workmanship means every cabinet is built to a high standard using quality materials selected for durability. That level of craftsmanship is why TKDC bathrooms and laundry renovations hold up well beyond the renovation itself.

 

What affects the cost of a bathroom renovation in Melbourne?

Bathroom renovation cost in Melbourne depends on room size, materials, fixtures, and scope of work. There is no single figure that applies to every home, because every project and every brief is different.

Choosing top-quality cabinetry and certified tradespeople is an investment in the result, and it reduces the risk of rectification work down the track. A Discovery Call is the best place to start understanding what your Melbourne bathroom renovation is likely to involve.

 

Our laundry and bathroom renovation process

TKDC follows a clear, structured renovation process for every bathroom and laundry renovation project. You’re guided through the entire process and supported every step of the way, from your first enquiry through to final installation.

  1. Complete a Discovery Call. Fill in our online Discovery Call form, or visit a showroom where our team can talk through your project and arrange a Discovery Call if appropriate.
  2. Progress to a Project Consultation. Once your enquiry is qualified, you’re booked in for a Project Consultation, an in-home session with one of our designers to discuss your goals, budget, and ideas in detail.
  3. Confirm your layout and materials. During your Project Consultation, your designer assesses the space, discusses layout options, and confirms your material choices.
  4. Review your design. Your finishes, fixtures, and overall design are confirmed with you before manufacturing begins.
  5. We manufacture and install your cabinetry. Your cabinetry is built at our Melbourne factory, then delivered and installed by our own team with minimal disruption.

Combining your kitchen with a bathroom or laundry renovation? It’s still one project, one team, from your first Showroom Tour through to installation.

 

Bathroom renovation design ideas for Melbourne homes

Many Melbourne homeowners live with bathrooms that were designed decades ago. Awkward layouts, limited storage, and outdated finishes are common in established homes, and they affect how you use the space every day.

Good bathroom design starts with how you actually move through the room. Our design team considers your daily routines, storage needs, and how your main bathroom and ensuite each serve different purposes.

A new bathroom should prioritise practicality and longevity. We guide you through layout and material choices that will still feel right years from now. The same approach applies to laundry renovations, where workflow, storage, and finishes all need to work hard in a compact space.

 

How to maximise space in a small bathroom

Small bathroom renovations require smarter decisions, not bigger budgets. Here are practical strategies that make a real difference in a tight space:

  • Wall-hung vanities free up floor space and make the room feel larger without any structural changes.
  • Integrated storage reduces visual clutter and keeps everyday items within reach.
  • Mirrored cabinetry adds depth to the room while doubling as practical storage.
  • Smart layout planning makes sure every centimetre of your footprint is used effectively.

Our designers assess your space on-site before making any recommendations. Good bathroom remodelling is about functionality first. A successful bathroom makeover starts with making your bathroom work better, not just look better.

FAQs

  • What is the first step in a bathroom renovation?

    The first step in a bathroom renovation with TKDC is a Discovery Call, which you can complete online or arrange in person at one of our showrooms. This call helps us understand your project, so we can confirm whether it’s ready to progress to a Project Consultation.

  • What is a realistic budget for a bathroom renovation in Melbourne?

    Your budget for a bathroom renovation in Melbourne depends on size, materials, and scope, and it looks different for every home. TKDC manages the entire project in-house, and a Discovery Call is the best place to start understanding what your project will involve.

  • What should I avoid when renovating a bathroom?

    Avoid cutting corners on waterproofing, underestimating scope, and hiring multiple trades without a clear point of contact, as these are the most common causes of budget blowouts and delays. TKDC manages your renovation as a single team, with clear communication throughout.

  • Do I need council approval for a bathroom renovation in Melbourne?

    Most standard bathroom renovations in Melbourne do not require council approval, provided no structural changes or extensions are involved. TKDC’s registered builders will advise you on any permit requirements specific to your project, the same way we approach our kitchen renovations.
