Bathroom Renovations Geelong | Custom Vanities & Bathroom Cabinetry
Most off-the-shelf bathroom vanities do not fit Geelong homes properly. Walls run out of plumb. Floors are not level. Plumbing rough-ins sit in positions that no standard unit accounts for.

Custom Bathroom Cabinets Fix That
Custom bathroom cabinets fix that. We build vanities, shaving cabinets, storage towers, and full bathroom joinery to your exact measurements — in our Geelong workshop, for Geelong homes.
We cover Greater Geelong, the Surf Coast, and the Bellarine Peninsula. Free measure and 3D design with every quote — no obligation, no pressure.
Why Custom Bathroom Vanities Beat Off-the-Shelf Every Time
A 900mm vanity from a showroom fits a 900mm space. Your bathroom probably is not exactly 900mm. Custom-made vanities are built from scratch to fit your floor, your walls, and your plumbing position. No shimming, no gaps.
Not sure which type suits your space? We assess layout, plumbing position, and budget at your measure and give you a clear recommendation before you commit to anything.

Materials We Use for Bathroom Cabinetry
Bathrooms are the most demanding environment for cabinetry in your home. Daily steam, humidity, direct water contact, and temperature swings all work against standard materials. Every substrate and finish we specify is chosen for how long it survives — not just how it looks on day one.

All bathroom cabinetry we install complies with Australian Standard AS 3740 — Waterproofing of Domestic Wet Areas. Your waterproofer handles the membrane; we sequence our installation to work with it correctly.
See: standards.org.au and vba.vic.gov.au for Victorian wet area regulations.
What Goes Into a Custom Bathroom Vanity
The specification behind a custom vanity is what separates a cabinet that feels right from one that feels cheap after two years. Here is what we put into every bathroom cabinet we build.
Cabinet Box
Hardware
Basin & Stone Coordination
We coordinate basin selection, stone benchtop templating, and installation through local Geelong fabricators. Undermount basin with stone top — we manage the stonemason and the template. You deal with one trade for the complete job, not three separate contractors managing their own schedules.

Prices vary by vanity type, size, material choice, and benchtop selection. The ranges below are based on 2026 Geelong market data cross-referenced from HIA and local trade pricing sources. Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula jobs include travel and may require coastal-grade materials.

All prices are guides for Greater Geelong in 2026 and exclude plumbing, tiling, and basin supply. A stone benchtop and undermount basin add $500 to $1,500, depending on slab and edge profile. Coastal homes in Torquay and Barwon Heads carry a material premium for marine-grade substrate and hardware. Every job receives a fully itemised quote.
Main Cost Drivers
Stone benchtop vs laminate — adds $500 to $1,500 per vanity, depending on slab size
2-pac painted doors vs laminate wrap — $400 to $1,000 more per vanity
Recessed shaving cabinet vs surface mount — requires wall opening, adds labour
Marine-grade plywood vs HMR board — 15 to 20% cost increase, essential for coastal homes
Double vanity vs single — nearly double the cabinet cost, but same installation visit
Bathroom Renovations Across Geelong Suburbs
Where your home sits shapes what we specify and what to look out for at the measure stage.
Armstrong Creek, Charlemont, Lara, Corio
New build bathrooms in Armstrong Creek and Charlemont are typically designed for wall-hung floating vanities with stone tops. Builder-supplied plumbing rough-ins in new homes are usually in sensible positions — but we always verify at measure before fabricating. Standard HMR with 2-pac doors and a porcelain or stone top is the most popular specification in these suburbs.
Belmont, Highton, Grovedale, Waurn Ponds, North Geelong
Bathrooms in 1970s to 1990s Geelong homes often have wall tiles that go to mid-height, non-standard rough-in positions, and limited floor space. We design around what is actually there. If retiling is in the plan, we coordinate our installation sequence with your tiler so nothing needs to be redone.
Newtown, South Geelong, Geelong West
Federation and Edwardian bathrooms in Newtown and South Geelong have character that is worth preserving. Freestanding vanities on legs, shaker door profiles, and period-appropriate tapware suit these homes. We also assess for any asbestos-containing materials in existing wet area linings before any work starts. WorkSafe Victoria guidance
Torquay, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Point Lonsdale
Bathrooms within a few kilometres of the Surf Coast get marine-grade substrate, stainless or corrosion-resistant hardware, and fully sealed 2-pac or laminate finishes as standard — not as an optional upgrade. Standard bathroom hardware corrodes noticeably faster in high-salt-air environments. Surf Coast building information
Inner Geelong, Waterfront, Geelong CBD
Strata and apartment bathrooms near the Geelong CBD and waterfront have access restrictions, noise constraints, and sometimes Owners Corporation approval requirements before work can begin. We work in these environments regularly and can assist with documentation for Owners Corporation submissions. We keep the work contained, clean, and scheduled to suit strata building rules.
How the Process Works
From first contact to finished bathroom — a clear, no-surprise process every time.
Free Site Measure
We visit your home, measure the space, and talk through your ideas. We bring finished samples and door profiles so you can see and touch materials on the spot, usually within 2 to 5 business days of your first contact.
3D Design & Quote
You receive a 3D render of your bathroom cabinetry and a fully itemised quote within 3 to 5 working days. Every item is listed separately — cabinets, hardware, benchtop, and installation.
Material Selections
Choose your board type, door profile, handles, and benchtop finish. We guide you through the options that suit your space, your style, and your budget. We bring samples to your home.
Install & Final Check
Our team installs your cabinetry and walks through the finished job with you. We coordinate with your plumber for the connection. Any punch items are fixed before we leave.
