Glen Innes bathroom services
Bathroom Renovations for Every Glen Innes Home
Older state houses, rentals and new terraces each need a different kind of bathroom job.
Older state house
State House Bathrooms
The older state houses in Glen Innes generally have a small bathroom with a separate toilet next door. We strip both rooms, renew the pipes and linings, and fit a new shower, vanity and pan. Keeping the rooms in their current positions keeps the cost down.
Rental
Rental Bathrooms
More than half of Glen Innes households rent, so landlords are a big part of the market here. We fit tough tiles and fittings, a wall-hung vanity that is easy to clean under, and a fan that meets the Healthy Homes ventilation rule.
Newer home
Bathrooms in Newer Homes
Newer terraces and townhouses tend to come with a basic bathroom. We upgrade these with a tiled shower over a waterproofing membrane, a stronger fan and more storage.
Glen Innes bathroom prices
Glen Innes Bathroom Renovation Prices
Alchemy prices every bathroom in Auckland against the same three bands, then confirms the figure in writing after the site visit.
$15,000 to $28,000
Small bathroom kept in its layout
$22,000 to $40,000
Complete bathroom rebuild
$40,000 to $65,000+
Large bathroom with high-end fittings
In an older state house, the strip-out can uncover old galvanised pipes or rotten framing around the shower. Nick looks for the signs at the site visit, such as a soft floor near the shower or rust-stained taps, and allows for them on the quote.
What moves a Glen Innes quote
Five Lines That Move a Glen Innes Quote
Alchemy's bathroom renovations around Auckland are priced line by line, and these five lines move a Glen Innes quote the most.
Hidden damage
Rotten framing found under an old shower is replaced before new linings go on.
Old pipework
Galvanised pipes are swapped for modern pipe while the walls are open.
Hot water temperature
New outlets must deliver water no hotter than 50°C, which may need a tempering valve.
Two rooms or one
Renovating the bathroom and toilet together shares the trades.
Tile size
Large tiles go down faster and leave fewer grout lines.

Three Bathrooms Renovated in St Heliers
St Heliers is a few minutes north-east of Glen Innes, and our job there rebuilt three bathrooms in one house on a single programme. One bathroom has a freestanding bath under the window and marble-look porcelain tiles, and another has a floating vanity, a round mirror and a finger-tile splashback.
Running three rooms together meant one strip-out and one set of trades for the whole house. The three bathrooms we renovated in St Heliers page shows each room.
Glen Innes at the 2023 Census
A Fast-Growing Suburb: Glen Innes in Numbers
Glen Innes West and Glen Innes East-Wai O Taiki Bay held 9,276 residents in 2,715 occupied homes at the 2023 Census.
18.0%
population growth in Glen Innes from 2018 to 2023
22.5%
of Glen Innes homes were damp, rising to 23.9% in Glen Innes West
44.3%
of homes had three bedrooms
Glen Innes East-Wai O Taiki Bay grew from 3,447 to 4,992 residents in five years. New homes bring new bathrooms, but the older houses around them still carry original bathrooms that are well past their best.
Landlords renovating a rental bathroom need a fan that vents outside under the Healthy Homes ventilation rules for rentals. We fit one in every bathroom we renovate, rental or not, and place it near the shower.

Clients Review Their Alchemy Bathrooms
Scott Harrison
March 2026
Highly recommend Alchemy Bathrooms. They renovated our main bathroom and were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. The project was completed on time and within budget, with clear, proactive communication throughout the entire process. Nick worked closely with us to understand and align with our constraints, offering practical solutions without compromising on quality or design. Their attention to detail, professionalism and respect for our home really stood out. We’re extremely happy with the final result and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others… they don’t know yet, but when we save up we are going to ask them to do the other one

Our home's bathroom is now brand new thanks to Nick's exceptional professionalism and high quality workmanship. Every step of the process was handled with care and precision, and Nick remained responsive and communicative throughout the entire project. Any minor issues that arose were promptly and expertly resolved. The tradespeople he employed were also respectful and their work was of the highest standard. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Nick for any bathroom renovation needs.
