A Renovation Team That Knows Belconnen Homes
A lot of Belconnen’s housing stock went up in the 1960s and 70s, and plenty of those homes are still running their original bathrooms. Cracked wall tiles, tired vanities, no waterproofing membrane behind the shower. We see it regularly across the district. Renovating a bathroom of that age is not a cosmetic job. It usually means stripping back to the frame, fixing what four decades have done, and rebuilding it properly.
That is exactly the work Dolphin Bathrooms does. We are licensed builders, and we do
complete renovations rather than partial upgrades, because tiling over a problem does not make it go away. Every bathroom we renovate in Belconnen is waterproofed properly before a single tile goes on.

What Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in Belconnen?
It depends on the size of the room and the proposed layout. Every bathroom is different, so we price each job after the in-home consultation. The main cost drivers are:
- Whether the layout stays the same or plumbing moves
- The condition of the existing frames and subfloor areas. We cannot see hidden damage before demolition, so any repair or replacement work of this nature is an additional cost
- Your tile and fixture selections, which sit as clear allowances in the quote
We suggest keeping a 10-15% buffer for the unknowns that older Belconnen homes sometimes hide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need approval to renovate my bathroom in Belconnen?
Usually not. Most bathroom renovations that stay within the existing footprint and do not alter the structure will not need development approval in the ACT. Approval rules can change, so we check where your job sits at the consultation stage and point you to the right path before any work starts.
How long will my bathroom be out of action?
Most of our Belconnen renovations run 2-4 weeks on site from demolition to final clean. Complete strip-outs of older bathrooms sit at the longer end. We give you a schedule with the quote, and because we coordinate every trade ourselves, the job is not left waiting between trades.
Can you renovate the original bathroom in a 1960s or 70s ex-government home?
Yes, and we do it often. The process is no different to any other complete renovation we take on. We strip the room back, waterproof to Australian Standards, and update the plumbing and electrical where needed, so the new bathroom lasts another 40 years.
Do I have to buy tiles and fixtures through you?
No. Your quote includes clear allowances for tiles and fixtures, and you choose your own. We supply quality materials for the build itself, but we are not a showroom pushing our own stock, so you are free to pick finishes you love.
Who manages the plumber, electrician and tiler?
We do. Dolphin Bathrooms project-manages every trade on the job, including demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling, plastering, painting and the final clean. You have one point of contact and one team responsible for the result.
Can you do just my ensuite or laundry rather than the main bathroom?
Yes. We handle complete bathroom, ensuite and laundry renovations across Belconnen. The same licensed team works on compact ensuites and larger main bathrooms, and the process, from free consultation to thorough quote, is identical.
