It already has a new vanity and toilet but I am wanting to rip the bath out and put a shower in. This means I will more than likely need a whole renovation as the bathroom will need tiling. Can anyone recommend a reasonable builder? I went into a bathroom specialist and they quoted 17K which is very expensive for a small bathroom. I was planning on buying everything from Renovation Boys in Camperdown and then getting the builder in? Help!! Cheers!
