Ballina is brick and tile homes from the sixties and seventies, and their bathrooms are mostly original. Every bathroom is built by Faulkner Building Group, a Gold Coast builder working through the Northern Rivers.

The homes here
The bulk of Ballina is low-set brick and tile on flat blocks, built when a bathroom was a small room with a bath in it. The plumbing of that era is often the real story: earthenware waste and early copper that is cheap to replace while a wall is open and expensive to reach once it is closed.
A lot of these bathrooms still have the bath under the window and a cubicle jammed in the corner, with the toilet in its own room next door. Opening the two into one and putting in a walk-in shower is the change that does the most here, and the flat slab-less construction usually makes it affordable.
What we do here
Ensuite renovations designed to make the most of the space, finished to the same high standard as your main bathroom.
Smart layouts and finishes that make small bathrooms feel bigger, brighter and more practical.
Laundry renovations with joinery built to the room, done on their own or alongside the bathroom.
We help you plan the layout and choose your tiles, tapware and fixtures, so you know exactly what you're getting before work starts.
Certified waterproofing and quality tiling, done properly so your bathroom stays watertight for years to come.
That's the short version. There's more on every bathroom renovation service we offer, and on bathroom renovations on the Gold Coast generally.
Finishes and fixtures
Every bathroom is different, but these are the finishes we fit most often in Ballina homes.
Where we work
We work Ballina, East Ballina, Lennox Head, Alstonville and Wollongbar, with Byron twenty minutes north and Lismore half an hour inland.
It is a run we make regularly, so a Ballina job is programmed the same way a Gold Coast one is.
Common questions
The room itself is usually modest, so what moves the number here is the pipework and whether the toilet wall comes out. Both are visible once we open a section at the free measure, which is why we do that before quoting rather than after.
Almost always yes. Earthenware waste and early copper are at the end of their lives in houses of this age, and replacing them with the wall already open costs a fraction of doing it later through finished tiling.
Usually. It is the most common change we make in Ballina and it turns two cramped rooms into one useful one. Whether the dividing wall carries anything decides how involved it is, and we check that at the measure.
Anywhere in Ballina is brackish enough to be worth thinking about, though it is gentler than open beachfront. Solid brass and good stainless are safe; thin chrome plate is the thing to avoid. It is a specification decision, not a construction one.
There is a travel component and it is itemised rather than hidden in the rates. We program the Northern Rivers in blocks so the trades run consecutively, which keeps that part of the number sensible.
