Artisan Contemporary Bathroom

Project Finish Date

October 2020

Most old homes are not very well insulated or have a good exhaust system in bathrooms which means that they are often prone to mould. Tracey faced a similar issue with her downstairs bathroom in Titirangi.

“The bathroom was old, the shower door had started to rot and the extractor fan didn’t exist” says Tracey when asked about her initial motive to renovate. She had renovated her upstairs bathroom in the previous years and wanted this bathroom to have a similar design element.

“I didn’t want just a generic plain bathroom but wanted it to be similar to my upstairs bathroom” says Tracey. This bathroom’s design was definitely a credit to Tracey’s keen eye for design and aesthetics. This small bathroom was beautifully designed to maximise the space and make it appear larger.

Tracey’s bathroom may look like a simple renovation but in fact it required a lot more technical attention as compared to other bathrooms. The reasons for these are as follows:

  • Using small floor tiles meant that there was more grouting as compared to if we had used larger tiles.
  • We used our senior tiler to lay the floor tiles because we needed his higher skill set to correctly lay tiles with patterns so they were aligned perfectly with each other to form a cohesive design.

The expertise required to tile this bathroom also meant this bathroom costed a lot more compared to bathrooms that use large format tiles. This Titirangi bathroom is one of many renovate your bathroom our Auckland team has completed — from first design concept through to final finish.

Full Bathroom Renovation

This bathroom was renovated using Artisan designer tiles for the floors and white subway tiles on the walls. We then installed a glass door tiled shower with the same tiles as the rest of the floor and walls. The glass shower opens the space and the tiles that were extended till the shower gives this bathroom a continuity which makes it look more spacious.

The floating vanity gives the bathroom a cleaner and less cumbersome look. This wooden vanity also adds warmth to the black and white bathroom by bringing an element of nature within the space.

Flooring and Wall Tiles

The tiles used in this bathroom really made a huge difference in the design of this bathroom. As Tracey did not just want a generic white bathroom, it was important to add design elements that worked well together within a small space.

The patterned floor tiles create a sense of drama in the bathroom which are complemented by matte subway tiles used on two out of four walls. The subway tiles add texture as well as a 3D component which draws your eye towards this corner. The wall behind the vanity was painted white to ensure that the vanity was the star of the show

Floor Tiles

It was important to not make the bathroom feel closed in, hence it was decided to use the patterned tiles on the floors instead of the walls.

  • Floor tiles – Artisan Deco Uno 200 x 200 Glazed Ceramic. Friction tested SRV = 26 from Tile depot

Wall Tiles

We tried to keep the walls neutral and white to make the bathroom look more spacious. We used white subway tiles to add texture as well as a design element for the bathroom. We used black instead of white for the grouting in order to match the black in the floor tiles.

  • Wall tiles – City White Matt 100 x 300 BX 1.2 M2 Glazed Ceramic from Tile depot with black grouting
  • A combination of light and dark grey shiny hexagonal tiles were installed in the shower niche

Floating Vanity

We installed a floating vanity instead of a standing one to make the bathroom look less cumbersome. A wooden vanity was chosen to add some warmth to an otherwise black and white bathroom. The black line framing the wooden vanity adds continuity to the design by matching with the black fixtures as well as floor tiles. A similar design was chosen for the storage cabinet as well.

St Michel vanity, mirror and Storage cabinet used. For the Vanity we used a Southern Oak Wilderness door with a soft black matte titanium strip. A 900mm White St Michel Dante Mirror cabinet installed on the wall. A 2409 – SM Sussy Basin installed in the vanity. Black matte Methven tapware installed with the sink. For the storage cabinet we used a St Michel City tower 1740 with 2 doors with a southern oak wilderness front a black velvet titanium strip.

​From the very first consultation, our experience with this team has been nothing short of stellar.
​
​Working with Eunice, our sales consultant, set a high bar for the rest of the project.
Eunice is truly exceptional at what she does. When we first began our kitchen project, we went through several versions of our floor plan, and she was with us every step of the way—from the initial planning stages right through to the final concept. Her patience and dedication during the design process were remarkable.
Throughout the project, Eunice provided:
* **Invaluable Suggestions:** She has a keen eye for both aesthetics and functionality, pointing out details we never would have considered on our own.
* **Seamless Adjustments:** No matter how many tweaks we requested, she handled every change with professionalism and a "can-do" attitude.
* **Expert Guidance:** She transformed our vague ideas into a cohesive, stunning reality.
​
​Once the planning was complete, Neil, our project manager, took the reins and truly blew us away. Neil is a consummate professional who balances technical expertise with fantastic communication.
​ He kept us informed at every stage, ensuring we knew exactly what to expect and when.
Whenever a minor pivot was needed, Neil handled it with grace and efficiency, keeping the timeline on track.
His standards for the renovation work were incredibly high, ensuring the final result was polished and beautiful.
​
​The transition from Eunice’s initial planning to Neil’s execution was flawless. If you are looking for a team that combines design expertise with top-tier project management, look no further. We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen and new flooring !

Superior Renovations has just finished a complete remodel of my bathroom. I can see, why the company has such a high reputation. At every stage, from sales, design, project management, and execution, the company excelled at every point. I am just so happy with the work that they have done and they have exceeded my expectations at every point.
Mark Whelan
Used Superior for a kitchen and bathroom renovation last year. They did an excellent job updating both rooms, communication was excellent ongoing tjrough the project, they coordinated all the tradies, synchronized so there was little downtime, and it all worked exactly as planned and on budget. Was really glad we chose Superior Renovations and plan to use again for our entrance way at some stage.
Libby Campion
As I said to my work colleagues ‘I have just had the most pleasant experience’. When they realised it was with renovations at home they were shocked - ‘unheard of’ I was told.
Everything went to plan - timing, project management, costs, etc, etc. Neil communicated with me daily and made my whole bathroom renovation a pleasure.
The best decision I made was choosing Superior Renovations.
Thank you Kevin for our initial connection and for passing me on to Neil to manage the whole process.
Jason Cho
We just finished a bathroom renovation and couldn’t be happier with the results. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the attention to detail in the tiling and finishing is impressive. The team was professional, kept the workspace clean, and delivered exactly what we envisioned. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a high-quality transformation.

Superior did an excellent job of renovating our ensuite. Project manager Jacob was easy to work with and communications were good.

This is our second review for Superior Renovations. They have done two projects earlier this year and we were so impressed by the work they have finished. After discussing and very careful consideration, we decided to go with more projects with them. So far, they have now completed stage 1 renovation of our house. We still amazed for their knowledge and services; they really listen to us and discuss anything with us if they feel/think could be better…
From the first day we work with them, we have no issue with them at all, from communication, discussing, designing to the teams working on the site.
Especially we are highly recommended to those who are considering doing the house renovation, please contact them and you will know why we are so pleased to have them to do our house renovation.
We are thanking Cici, Neil and the teams so much….
We are looking forward to seeing what the outcome will be.

We recently had our bathroom renovated by Superior Renovations and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dorothy and Neil were an absolute pleasure to work with. They guided us through every step of the process, making what can be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward.
The quoting process was transparent and detailed, with no hidden fees or surprises. Neil was incredibly responsive and always available whenever we had questions or requests, which gave us real peace of mind throughout the project. We really love the end result and enjoy our new bathroom!
We’ll definitely be returning to the Superior Reno team for our next project. Highly recommended!

Our bathroom reno has just been completed & I am so happy. The whole process was easy & hassle free. Alison designed our bathroom & was very patient with our changes/then changes back again. Jacob our project manager was a delight to deal with. He always kept us informed of the scheduling & any other information we may have needed. All the tradies worked hard & the job was completed & signed off within 3 weeks. That's demo, full tiling, installation of new everything & delivery & pick up of the skip down a very tricky driveway. We absolutely love the new bathroom & would recommend Superior Renovations everyday. Future jobs I will definitely be contacting them again. Thank so much for your excellent work

Having explored our reno options, it was an easy decision to select Superior Renovations for our work. As first timers at anything like this we had to trust the system with grand old 100year old bungalow. We were so pleased to have Cici, Sonny and Kai working with us the whole way through. Be shout out to all the team, builders, plumbers, electricians, tilers and painters. A superb job delivered on budget and ahead of time. The communication from Cici and Sonny was first class. Would highly recommend working with Superior Renovations in fact, we already have more worked booked in. Thanks Superior you made Millie and Monty's parents very happy. 🐾

Thank you Irene

We couldn’t be happier with our new pergola! From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and easy to work with. They took the time to listen to what we wanted and offered great suggestions to make the design even better. The quality of the materials and workmanship is outstanding — everything feels solid, well-built, and beautifully finished. Kudos to Sinan Sun as she has been an amazing contact with the company.
Alex Scott
We are very pleased with our bathroom reno by Superior Renovations! Jacob, Cici and the team always kept us up to date, were always friendly to deal with and finished ahead of schedule. Most importantly we are very happy with the quality of the work.

We have been working with Superior Renovations as a supplier now for over three years. In that time we have found the team to be very professional and well organised. Which is a welcome relief in this industry! Just recently we have become their sole supplier for portaloos, which recognises the collaboration we have forged over these three years.

In particular, Leanne and Elaine set a very high standard of communication and flexibility. This is of vital importance when scheduling deliveries and pickups with us, however, they understand not everything can be done at once and are willing to work with us for the best (supplier/contractor/client) outcome.

I would imagine this ethos would flow directly through to all their contracted renovation work. A pleasure to work with!
Hammer “AAAAA”
A very reliable supplier – we’ve been working with them for three years now, and they have never let us down. Well done to the team.
Sam McCool
We have been working with these guys for the past 4 years and find them an awesome company to work with, very efficient and organised. I highly recommend!
Word True
Finding someone reliable for renovations has always been the most stressful thing for us. In the past, we had several painful renovation experiences—money was spent but the problems were never truly solved, and things often ended up worse than before. We really didn’t know where to find a trustworthy renovation company.

For more than ten years, our wish had been to renovate our bathroom, laundry, and toilet, so that we could finally enjoy a comfortable and functional living environment. Just when we were about to give up, we came across Superior Renovations online. We quickly made an appointment with Cici, who designed and provided us with a quote.

Throughout the whole process, I was deeply impressed by the professionalism of Superior Renovations. What stood out most was that they always delivered on their promises—everything agreed upon was completed on time. This built a relationship of trust and reliability. Up until completion, I was completely satisfied with their dedication and the quality of their workmanship.

During the renovation, we encountered some of the challenges that often come with older houses, but Cici and her team helped us resolve the discomforts we had been living with for years. We are truly grateful to the construction team.

Some say renovations are easy if you just have money, but I believe the most important thing is finding a trustworthy team that keeps their word, values quality, and cares about the customer’s experience.

Because of this renovation experience, we can now confidently plan our next project—the kitchen—and Superior Renovations will definitely be our first choice. We strongly recommend them.

Finally, I want to thank Cici and the team for helping us fulfill our dream.

It was great to have Alison's recommendations and input on how & what would look best for our kitchen and bathroom reno. Jacob, our project manager, has been a star too; ensuring that the project was delivered as planned, AND giving us great ideas & suggestions along the way.

We’re very happy with the renovation work done by the team. It’s rare for renovation projects to finish on time, but they committed to completing ours before the Easter holiday—and they delivered! Our project manager, Jacob, worked incredibly hard (even physically! 😄) to make it happen.

I admit I might not have been the easiest client—I was particular about details like colours, tile placement, and exactly where the hand basin bowl should sit on the bench. But they listened, took it all on board, and got it done. Thank you, Jacob!
I’ll definitely bring you another challenge in the future. 😉
Vilma Arcos
Thanks Superior Renovations for doing our house, it definitely looks a lot better now! Special thanks goes to Alison and Jacob for their excellent effort and good manners in handling the construction process, it wasn't easy but with them around it definitely became easier to handle. Cheers🥂

Absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our renovation of two bathrooms and kitchen in a double level home. Kevin and his entire team were an absolute pleasure to work with from the get-go. Every minor detail was attended to, and all our requests were accommodated. Cyrus deserves a special mention as under his watchful eye and expertise, nothing could go wrong.
Jacquie
I have recently finished a renovation in our 1930’s bungalow, updating the original (and I do mean original) kitchen and bathroom. Plus creating a new laundry and removing three fireplaces which created two new spaces including an office. From the initial appointment with Alison who came over and then provided drawings and a quotation, to the work with Frank, our project manager and the team, this has been a wonderful renovation experience. I would have described myself as a nervous-renovator prior to doing this, as I had never done a renovation before, but Frank, Alison, Sunny and all the team have worked so tirelessly and generously to create spaces that we love. Superior’s care in managing the project has meant that we have come away with much more than we originally sought to achieve and without the stress I hear others lament about when they renovate. I would recommend Frank, Alison, Sunny and the team at Superior Renovations wholeheartedly.
