Thinking of Renovating Your Bathroom?
A bathroom that works for your home
You might need to replace a tired bathroom, make better use of a small ensuite or sort out a layout that no longer works for your family.
At Petrolo Construction Group, we start by looking at what you have and listening to what you want to change. We’ll talk through the options, explain what’s involved and help you make sensible choices about layout, fittings and tiles.
Not every renovation needs more space or major structural changes. Often, keeping a workable layout and updating the right things is the best approach.
Based in Brookvale, Sam and the team manage bathroom renovations throughout the Northern Beaches and North Shore, coordinating the trades and keeping you informed as the job progresses.
Our Custom Renovation Services
Let’s Make Your Bathroom Work Better
A good bathroom doesn’t have to be large or elaborate. It needs to suit the people using it, be easy to look after and cope with daily use.
Sam Petrolo is a qualified carpenter and tiler with more than 20 years’ industry experience. That background is useful throughout a bathroom renovation, from timber framing and preparation through to the finished tiling. He and the team take care over the work behind the walls, as well as the finish you see.
We can help with a complete renovation, a smaller ensuite update, accessibility changes or leaking shower repairs. We’ll explain what your job needs and help you choose an approach that makes sense for your home.
Throughout the work, you’ll have someone to speak to about progress, decisions and any questions along the way.
Let’s create the bathroom you’ve always dreamed of!

Advice That Suits Your Home
We’ll help you choose a workable layout, suitable products and finishes you like, with your available space and budget in mind.
A Tiler's Eye for the Details
Sam’s background is in tiling, and that experience is a useful part of every bathroom renovation we take on.
There’s more to a well-tiled bathroom than choosing a tile you like. Surface preparation, tile placement, cuts, grout lines and drainage all need careful thought.
Whether you choose straightforward ceramic tiles or a more detailed finish, we take care over how they’re installed. The aim is a neat, practical bathroom that works well and is easy to maintain.
The Renovation Process: From Concept to Handover
Step 1
Visit & Discuss
We visit your home, look at the existing bathroom and talk about what you’d like to change. We’ll discuss your budget, any space limitations and the options worth considering.

Renovations Tailored to Your Home
Some rooms need a full renovation. Others already have a sensible layout and mainly need new fittings, better storage or worn finishes replaced.
We’ll help you work out what’s worth changing and what can stay. Our advice starts with the room you have, how you use it and what you want to spend.
Updating your bathroom can make everyday life a little easier. Better lighting, useful storage and fittings that are easier to clean can make a noticeable difference, even when the layout stays much the same.
We’ll help you choose tiles, tapware, a vanity and shower fittings that suit your space and the look you prefer. That might mean a simple, understated bathroom or something with more colour and detail.
If changing the layout would help, we’ll explain what’s involved and how it affects the cost. If the existing layout works, we’re happy to work with it.
Our team coordinates the renovation from preparation through to installation and finishing.

A small bathroom has to fit a lot into a limited space. The starting point is working out what you need and what the room can comfortably accommodate.
Depending on the layout, a different vanity, better storage or a change to the shower screen may help. Sometimes a simpler update is the most practical option.
We’ll talk through these choices with you, including whether moving plumbing would deliver enough benefit to justify the cost.
We pay the same attention to preparation, waterproofing and tiling in a compact ensuite as we do in a larger bathroom.

Having a budget helps us give you useful advice from the start.
Keeping plumbing in its existing position, choosing readily available fittings and limiting major layout changes can help control costs. We’ll explain which options make sense for your bathroom and where spending a little more may be worthwhile.
We won’t recommend cutting corners on preparation or waterproofing to make room for more expensive finishes.
Your quote will clearly set out the agreed work. If something unexpected turns up once the old bathroom is removed, we’ll explain the issue and discuss any additional work and cost before proceeding.
If your bathroom is becoming difficult to use, the right changes can make daily routines more manageable.
We start by understanding who uses the room and what they need help with. Depending on the space and individual requirements, options may include easier shower access, grab rails, more suitable tapware, slip-resistant flooring or changes to the vanity.
Some bathrooms can be improved with a few targeted changes. Others need a more substantial redesign to provide the necessary access and room to move.
Where an occupational therapist or another specialist has provided recommendations, we can use those to help plan the work. We’ll explain what is practical within your existing bathroom and what would require further changes.

A useful laundry needs room for the jobs you do every day, whether that’s washing for a family, storing cleaning products or finding somewhere to put the washing basket.
We renovate separate laundries and smaller cupboard laundries across the Northern Beaches and North Shore.
Depending on your space, we can help with additional cupboards, a more practical benchtop, a new tub or a better arrangement for your washer and dryer. We’ll also consider access to taps and appliances for cleaning and maintenance.
We coordinate the trades needed for your renovation, including plumbing, electrical work, cabinetry and tiling.
Kitchen Renovations
You don’t need a large, open-plan kitchen to make worthwhile improvements. Better cupboard storage, a more useful preparation area or replacing worn surfaces can make an existing kitchen work much better.
We’ll discuss what you like about your kitchen, what gets in the way and how much you want to change. From there, we can help plan suitable cabinetry, benchtops, fittings and tiling.
If you’re considering moving walls or making structural changes, we’ll explain the additional assessment, approvals and specialist work that may be required.
Our team coordinates the agreed renovation work and keeps you informed throughout the job.
