One of the biggest mistakes is choosing a design purely for looks without considering how you’ll use the space. Poorly placed showers, cramped vanities, or awkwardly positioned toilets can make your bathroom frustrating to use.
Our Tip: Always start with a functional layout that ensures smooth movement, easy access to fixtures, and optimal use of every inch.
Waterproofing is the backbone of any Bathroom Renovation. Skimping on quality membranes or rushing the process can lead to leaks, mould growth, and structural damage down the track.
Our Tip: Invest in professional waterproofing done by licensed trades. At Hm Tiling & Renovation, we use high-grade materials and tested techniques to protect your home for years to come.
Bathrooms face constant exposure to moisture, so using materials that aren’t water-resistant is a recipe for trouble. Cheap tiles, poorly sealed cabinetry, or low-quality grout can wear out quickly.
Our Tip: Opt for durable, water-resistant finishes such as porcelain or ceramic tiles, stone benchtops, and moisture-proof cabinetry. We help our clients source the best products from trusted Melbourne suppliers.
Even the most stylish bathroom will feel flat if it’s dark, and poor ventilation can lead to dampness and mould.
Our Tip: Incorporate layered lighting—ambient for overall brightness, task lighting for grooming, and accent lighting for style. Ensure you have an exhaust fan sized correctly for the space and natural ventilation where possible.
Clutter can quickly ruin the sleek look of a new bathroom. Many homeowners forget to plan enough storage for toiletries, towels, and cleaning products.
Our Tip: Include clever solutions such as mirrored cabinets, recessed niches, floating vanities, and under-basin drawers. Our designs integrate storage seamlessly without sacrificing style.
DIY or hiring unqualified trades to save money can result in uneven tiling, poor plumbing, or unsafe electrical work—all of which can be costly to fix later.
Our Tip: Work with a skilled, licensed team that can manage your project from start to finish. At Hm Tiling & Renovation, our Melbourne-based specialists handle everything—design, tiling, waterproofing, and final installation—with precision and care.
