This Wanniassa ensuite renovation is a great example of how a well-planned bathroom renovation can deliver a fresh, durable result for a rental property without overcapitalising. The original bathroom had reached the end of its serviceable life, with tiles beginning to fall from the walls and underlying moisture issues becoming evident. Following asbestos removal, we stripped the ensuite back to the studs and completed a full bathroom rebuild, including plumbing alterations, a new subfloor and a complete waterproofing system. Since the property was an investment, the focus was on selecting high-quality, durable finishes that would look great while remaining practical and budget-conscious. Large-format grey floor tiles were paired with crisp white rectangular wall tiles, along with a recessed shower niche for a clean, functional finish. The ensuite was completed with a modern white vanity, a mirrored shaving cabinet, and a new shower screen with chrome fittings. The finished bathroom is bright, practical and low-maintenance, replacing a dated, failing ensuite with a reliable space designed to withstand the demands of a rental property. For landlords and property investors considering a budget bathroom renovation in Canberra, this project demonstrates how the right choices can balance cost, quality and durability while improving tenant appeal, reducing ongoing maintenance issues and adding value to the property.
