Laundry Renovations

Laundry Renovation Services in Melbourne

A laundry has to fit a lot into a few square metres: a washing machine, often a dryer, a trough, storage for cleaning gear, and somewhere to fold. When the layout is wrong, the room fills with baskets and bottles and the bench disappears.

We plan the space around how you use it, then build it. Because we are a handyman business as well as renovators, one team handles repairs and the trade work. If there is a swollen cupboard base, a leaking trough or a soft floor under the machine, we fix the cause before the new laundry goes in.

A laundry renovation can include:

Custom or ready-made laundry cabinets, including tall broom cupboards and overhead storage.
A new benchtop over the machines for folding and sorting.
A new trough and tapware, with bench-mounted or wall-mounted options.
Waterproofing, floor tiles and a tiled splashback.
Washing machine and dryer installation, including stacked set-ups.
Better lighting and an exhaust fan to clear steam and damp.

Refresh or Rebuild

Full Laundry Renovations or a Simple Refresh

Not every laundry needs a full strip-out. If the plumbing and tiles are sound, new doors, a benchtop and better storage can change the room in far less time. If the tiles are cracked, the cabinets have swollen or water has been getting under the floor, a full renovation fixes the problem properly.

We look at the room with you and recommend the level of work that suits its condition and your budget.

Full Laundry Makeover

A complete overhaul of the room, including new cabinetry, benchtops, tiling, the trough and appliance connections, planned as one project.

Laundry Cabinet Installation

Custom or pre-fabricated laundry cabinets fitted to your space, with room for the machines, baskets and cleaning gear.

Laundry Appliance Installation

If you have bought a new washer or dryer, we install it, stack it where the space allows, and check it is connected and ready to use.

Laundry Repairs

Swollen cabinet bases, loose tiles, failed silicone and water damage around the trough, repaired before they spread.

Laundry Cabinets and Storage

Cabinets do the heavy lifting in a laundry. The right storage keeps the bench clear and puts everything within reach.

Cabinet materials

Laundries get damp, so we use moisture-resistant board for carcasses and seal every cut edge. Soft-close hinges and drawer runners stand up to daily use. Door finishes range from laminate and painted panels to timber-look options that match your kitchen.

Benchtops

A laminate benchtop is hard-wearing and budget-friendly. Stone and timber give a more finished look. We run the benchtop over front-loading machines where possible, so you get a long folding surface.

Storage that works

Tall cupboards for the vacuum, mop and ironing board.
Pull-out drawers or baskets for sorting darks, lights and towels.
Overhead cabinets for detergent and cleaning products, kept away from children.
A hanging rail or pull-out drying rack for clothes that cannot go in the dryer.

Design Ideas

Laundry Renovation Ideas

Small changes to the layout often make the biggest difference.

European laundry. The machine, a small trough and storage sit behind cupboard doors in a hallway or kitchen. It suits apartments and homes without a separate laundry room.
Stacked washer and dryer. Stacking frees up bench space and floor area in a narrow room.
Hidden hampers. Built-in pull-out baskets keep dirty washing off the floor.
Fold-down ironing board. Mounted inside a tall cupboard, it is out of sight when not in use.
Better lighting. A bright ceiling light and under-cabinet strip lighting make stains easy to spot.

Wet Area Work

Waterproofing, Plumbing and Ventilation

A laundry is a wet area. The floor and the wall junctions need a waterproof membrane under the tiles, and the floor should fall to a floor waste where there is one. We apply the membrane and let it cure before tiling, because tiles laid over a poor seal hide leaks until the damage reaches the subfloor or the next room.

Moving the trough, taps or drain, or adding power points, is carried out by licensed tradespeople and included in the same itemised quote.

Ventilation matters too. A dryer vents warm, wet air into the room, and without a window or exhaust fan, mould follows. We fit an exhaust fan or vent the dryer where the room needs it.

Our Laundry Renovation Process

Design consultation. We measure the room, talk through how you use it, and look at layout, storage and finishes. The consultation and quote are free.
Itemised quote. You get a written quote that lists cabinetry, benchtops, tiling, plumbing and repairs separately.
Strip-out and repairs. We remove the old laundry and repair any water damage, rotten timber or uneven floors.
Rough-in, waterproofing and tiling. Plumbing and power go in, then the membrane, floor tiles and splashback.
Fit-out. Cabinets, benchtop, trough, tapware and appliances are installed and connected.
Final check and clean-up. We test the taps, drain and machines, and clean the room before handing it back.

What Affects Laundry Renovation Cost

The cost of a laundry renovation depends on:

Scope. A cabinet and benchtop refresh costs far less than a full strip-out with new tiles and waterproofing.
Room size and layout. Larger rooms need more cabinetry and tiling.
Plumbing changes. Keeping the trough and machine where they are costs less than moving them.
Cabinetry. Custom joinery costs more than ready-made cabinets, and door finishes vary widely.
Benchtop and tiles. Laminate, stone and timber benchtops, and the tile you choose, all change the price.
Hidden damage. Water damage found during the strip-out needs repairing before the new laundry goes in.

Every quote is itemised, so you can see exactly where the money goes and adjust the scope to suit your budget.
