Brisbane Bathroom renos...

Hi - any suggestions for great local places to go for purchase of bathroom items for an upcoming reno? Usual items like toilets, freestanding bath, towel rails etc.

Not looking for super high quality, but good value for PPOR.

Thought there would be some on here that have had recent experiences that could be valuable.

Thanks!

 

Higrove is expensive.

I'm still using Bunnings.
Bunnings dropped their bottom priced range since masters went out of business. So shower screens for instance were 189 now 289.

1m mirrors were $40 now $80-100

 

Highgrove, Reece, Bunnings, eBay, Gumtree, local Facebook Buy and Swap, Chinese Ads....It really depends on the specific items. If you're not careful you can pay more on towel rails and toilet roll holder than shower screen.

But for us the highest cost is labor: tiler, waterproofer, plasterer, plumber....If you can get some good reliable ones, half the battle is won.

 

Thanks Wylie. Might try and drop into one of their stores, but they are not that close to me.

 

Yes - there are many sources for these products. Was just after opinions on the best value places for probably medium quality goods, as prices can vary enormously.

 

Builders Discount Warehouse - hit and miss.

 

Tender disposals at Springwood has good stuff really cheap at times. Have a look at their Facebook page.

Edited to add: pretty close to Ikea, on the other side of the highway

 

They have several stores, hope you can find one that’s closest to you.

Got these floor tiles for $9.80sqm
Anywhere else circa 25.

Discount tile warehouse in slacks creek (near all the car dealers parallel with the motorway).

This is a work in progress photo of the bathroom Reno in Kingston at present

 

Wow, they're very nice tiles for that price!

The wall tiles look nice too.. good job!

 

Bathroom did look like this haha

 

Nice - is that a stone look on the floor. Same colour scheme as I was planning - white and grey.

 

Hey.
Yep I'll pm you tomorrow when I'm back there.
Send you a better photo too

 

I like Tile Wizards stock and prices, for all types of floor coverings.

 

Hi, does anyone have a suggestion of a company to use for the bathroom renovation or are you guys using seperate trades?

 

We found IKEA vanitys didnt hold up well to moisture in the room, even with an extractor fan, our vanity paint has started to peel and the 'timber' has swollen in parts. Saying that, the actual sink and taps have been fine.

 

We just recently finished our bathroom in our PPOR soon to be rented out. We used Gold star bathrooms. Owner's name is Shannon. Turned out good, just wished I had used our own tiler.
