Renovated Right, Built to Last
A great bathroom is one of the best investments you can make in your home. It lifts your everyday comfort, adds real value, and — done properly — keeps performing for decades. Done poorly, it becomes a source of leaks, mould and regret. On the Central Coast, where coastal humidity is unforgiving, the difference comes down to getting the details right.
At Central Coast Elite Carpentry, we manage your bathroom renovation from start to finish, so you deal with one trusted local team rather than chasing separate trades. Based in Ettalong Beach and licensed (Licence 315312C), with MBA and Carpentry Australia membership and 30 years of combined experience, we deliver bathrooms that are beautifully finished and built to last.
Full Bathroom Renovations, Managed Start to Finish
From strip-out to the final silicone bead, we handle the whole project and coordinate every trade — plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling, cabinetry and glass. You get one point of contact, a clear plan, and a tidy, respectful worksite in your home. It’s the difference between a renovation that runs smoothly and one that drags on.
Waterproofing Done Properly
Waterproofing is the single most important part of any bathroom, and the part you never see. We waterproof to the Australian Standard (AS 3740) with the right membranes, falls and detailing, so water goes where it should and never where it shouldn’t. In our humid coastal climate, that’s what protects your home from leaks and mould for the long term.
Design, Tiling & Finishes
We help you plan a layout that works and a look you’ll love — then execute it with precise, quality tiling and a considered fit-out.
- Wall and floor tiling: crisp, level, well-set tiling with proper falls to the drain.
- Vanities and cabinetry: custom and pre-made options with storage that suits your space.
- Showers and screens: frameless and semi-frameless glass, niches and quality tapware.
- Lighting and ventilation: good light and proper exhaust to keep the room fresh and dry.
Small Bathrooms, Ensuites & Laundries
A smaller space is often where clever design pays off most. We’re experienced at making compact bathrooms, ensuites and laundries feel bigger and work harder — the right layout, fittings and storage in every square metre.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most bathroom renovations take around two to four weeks on site, depending on the size, whether the layout changes, and lead times on tiles and fixtures. We give you a realistic timeline up front and keep you posted throughout.
Do you handle waterproofing and tiling?
Yes. Waterproofing is done to Australian Standard AS 3740 and tiling is completed to a high standard as part of the managed project — you don’t need to arrange separate trades.
Do I need council approval to renovate a bathroom?
A like-for-like renovation usually doesn’t require council approval. If you’re significantly changing the layout, moving plumbing or altering the structure, additional approvals can apply — we’ll let you know as part of planning.
Can you change the layout — move the shower or toilet?
Yes. We regularly reconfigure bathrooms and coordinate the plumbing and electrical to suit. We’ll advise on what’s practical for your space and budget.
What affects the cost of a bathroom renovation?
The size of the room, whether the layout changes, the fixtures and finishes you choose, and the amount of tiling all influence the cost. We assess everything on site and provide a detailed, fixed-price quote — never a vague lump sum.
Will I be able to use the room during the renovation?
The bathroom being renovated is out of action while we work, so we plan the schedule to minimise disruption. If it’s your only bathroom, we’ll talk through options to keep things workable.
