Welcome to Casey Constructions

Introduction One of the biggest decisions in a bathroom renovation is whether to retain your bathtub or swap it out for modern alternatives like a walk-in shower or double vanity. At Casey Constructions , we help Brisbane homeowners navigate that choice, ensuring your design aligns with lifestyle, resale goals, and your home’s flow. The Case for Keeping the Bath Ideal for Families: Having at least one tub is invaluable for families with young children or multi-generational needs. Learn more Resale Appeal: Homes with a bathtub often attract families. It can enhance your property’s appeal if you plan to sell later. Learn more Spa-Like Relaxation: A bathtub—especially a freestanding one—adds a luxurious, spa-like touch to your bathroom. Learn more The Case for Removing the Bath Maximise Space: Removing the bath frees up room for features like a walk-in shower or double vanity — perfect for tighter bathrooms. Learn more Lower Maintenance: Walk-in showers typically require less upkeep than bathtubs, making them a great option for busy households. Learn more Cost Considerations: Opting out of a bathtub may reduce installation complexity and cost. Learn more Market-Targeted Design: For properties aimed at professionals or downsizers (such as apartments or townhouses), a modern walk-in shower may better suit expectations. Learn more  Balancing Functionality and Appeal When deciding, consider: • Who uses the bathroom (children, guests, adults)? • Is space limited or generous? • Are long-term resale intentions part of the equation? Each bathroom should align with your home’s needs and your lifestyle goals.

A bathroom renovation can completely transform the comfort and value of your home but without the right planning, it can also cause unnecessary stress. At Casey Constructions , we’ve been helping Brisbane homeowners create functional, stylish bathrooms since 2014. From our base in Cannon Hill, we’ve delivered projects across the city and surrounding areas, backed by a QBCC licence and a reputation for quality. If you’re planning a bathroom renovation in Brisbane, here are five expert tips to make the process smooth and hassle-free. 1. Start with a Clear Plan The most successful renovations begin with clarity. Decide what you want to achieve—whether it’s more storage, better lighting, or a luxury feel. Collect inspiration images, set a realistic budget, and consider how the space will be used daily. In suburbs like Bulimba or Carindale, where Queenslanders and family homes often have unique layouts, planning ahead ensures you don’t run into unexpected issues later. A clear vision also helps your builder provide accurate timelines and costings. 2. Choose the Right Builder Your choice of builder will make or break the renovation experience. Look for a QBCC-licensed contractor with proven bathroom renovation experience. At Casey Constructions, we bring more than a decade of local expertise, delivering bathrooms that balance style, functionality and compliance. Always check reviews, ask to see previous projects, and confirm who will manage waterproofing, tiling, and compliance certificates. The right builder will guide you through every stage and keep communication open from day one. 3. Focus on Quality Waterproofing and Ventilation Brisbane’s humid climate makes waterproofing and airflow critical. Poor waterproofing can lead to mould, swelling cabinetry and long-term structural damage. Ventilation that only recirculates air won’t keep up with daily use. We recommend investing in a premium waterproofing system backed by warranty, along with extraction fans that vent externally. This protects your home, keeps your bathroom fresh, and saves you from expensive repairs down the track. 4. Select Durable, Low-Maintenance Finishes While it’s tempting to choose purely based on style, durability should always come first. High-quality porcelain tiles, epoxy grout, and PVD-coated tapware all stand up well to Brisbane conditions while remaining easy to clean. In high-demand areas like Ascot, homeowners often choose custom cabinetry and designer tiling that look elegant while keeping maintenance simple. A good renovation strikes the balance between aesthetics and practicality. 5. Communicate and Stay Involved Even with a trusted builder, your input matters. Regular check-ins help keep the project aligned with your vision and allow small adjustments before they become big issues. A good construction team should welcome your questions and provide updates without you having to chase them. At Casey Constructions, we encourage clients to stay involved at every stage. From layout to finishes, open communication ensures the final bathroom reflects both your lifestyle and the quality you expect. Bringing It All Together A hassle-free bathroom renovation comes down to preparation, trust and detail. With the right plan, licensed builder, quality finishes and clear communication, you can avoid stress and enjoy a bathroom that adds daily comfort and long-term value to your Brisbane home.

Most bathroom renovations take between three and five weeks, depending on size and complexity. Projects with custom cabinetry or premium tiling may take longer, but planning ahead keeps the schedule on track. Do I need council approval for a bathroom renovation? Generally, no—unless structural changes are required. A licensed builder like Casey Constructions will advise and handle any approvals if needed. What’s the average cost of a bathroom renovation in Brisbane? Costs vary depending on finishes and scope, but a high-quality renovation usually starts from the mid-$20,000s. Investing in durable waterproofing and ventilation always pays off long-term. Can I live in my house during the renovation? Yes, though you’ll need an alternative bathroom setup while work is underway. Your builder should discuss this upfront and help plan a practical solution.  How can I make my bathroom more energy-efficient? Consider LED lighting, water-saving fixtures, and ventilation with built-in timers. Choosing durable, light-reflective tiles can also reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.
