Bathroom renovations in Latrobe.

Heritage homes and rural blocks.

Latrobe’s main street is one of the best-preserved Victorian streetscapes in the North-West, and a lot of the housing around Gilbert Street and the river flats is genuinely old. Renovating a bathroom in a heritage or character home takes patience: lath-and-plaster walls, uneven floors and original plumbing all have to be worked with sympathetically. We are comfortable with this, and we re-waterproof to AS 3740 regardless of how old the home is. Out towards Sassafras and the rural blocks, the homes are newer but the cool, damp climate and the importance of getting the membrane right are exactly the same.

Ageing in place in Latrobe.

Latrobe has a strong community of long-term residents who want to stay put. That makes accessible and aged-care bathrooms a large part of our Latrobe work: level-entry showers, grab rails on reinforced noggings and slip-resistant floors, often to an occupational therapist’s scope under an NDIS or aged-care modification.

Typical Latrobe jobs.

• Sympathetic heritage-home bathroom renovation with modern waterproofing ($24K-$38K)
• Level-entry accessible bathroom for ageing in place ($18K-$28K)
• New ensuite in a rural-residential build ($14K-$22K)
• Open walk-in shower replacing a shower-over-bath

Compliance across two councils.

Latrobe sits in the Latrobe Council area rather than Devonport City, so we confirm the permit pathway with the right authority under the Tasmanian Building Act 2016 for your specific block, and use a licensed plumber for certified work. Planning a full renovation? Tell us at the free measure.
