Much of Nepean was built in the 1960s and 1970s, in neighbourhoods like Crestview, Bel-Air and Craig Henry. Those bathrooms often still have the original tub, a small window in the shower and a fan that barely moves air.
Full renovations here often mean new supply lines and a new fan duct to the outside. Tub-to-shower conversions are common in bungalows where the owners plan to stay.
Down to the studs: new plumbing where needed, subfloor repair, waterproofing, tile, vanity, fixtures and a fan that actually vents outside.
Take out a tub you never use and put in a walk-in shower with a proper base, membrane and glass.
Curbless or low-threshold showers, grab bars on proper blocking, a bench and handheld shower for aging in place.
Shower walls, floors and heated floors, installed over a continuous waterproofing membrane.
