Bathroom Renovation Projects We Finished Across Auckland
Recent Alchemy jobs across Auckland, from a three-bathroom renovation in St Heliers to a villa in Ponsonby where a bathroom, two toilets and a laundry were done in one job. Each project page shows the brief, the challenges and the finished rooms, with photos.
Every one of them was a full renovation, planned and built by the same team that does Alchemy's Auckland bathroom renovations today.

What the research says
What New Zealand Housing Research Found in Bathrooms
BRANZ surveyed New Zealand houses between August 2018 and May 2019. Its bathroom findings explain why every Alchemy project gets the same basics.
51%
of houses had a working extractor venting outside in every bathroom
57%
of bathrooms showed some signs of mould
41%
of rental bathrooms had moderate or worse mould, against 22% of owner-occupied
The figures come from BRANZ Study Report SR456, which reports the Pilot Housing Survey. Nearly half the houses surveyed had at least one bathroom without working extraction to the outside. Every project on this page got an extractor ducted to open air and a waterproofing membrane under the tiles.

We had both our main bathroom and ensuite renovated by Alchemy Bathroom Renovations Auckland in Epson and the result speaks for itself every time we walk in.
What stood out from the start was how clear they were about the timeline

We have been using our bathroom for over 4 years now which was renovated by Nick and his team in Hillcrest, North Shore. They did an amazing job. Nick gave us a reasonable quote. The whole team was professional and polite. The bathroom was renovated to a top quality standards. Nick also helped us with any decision making about the tiles, fixtures and fittings.
