Timeless Classic Modern Bathrooms.

Project Finish Date

October 2022

Scope of Work:

  • 3 Ensuite Bathrooms
  • 1 Small Toilet with Vanity
  • Re-doing Balustrade
  • Building work (removal of doors) and covering 1 door

Improving Functionality for a Family Home

Driven by the desire to create a multigenerational household, Kerry Nam purchased a home to accommodate their parents. “It was not functional, quite liked the structure and the layout of the house But the bathrooms were just atrocious and it wasn’t very functional. My son’s bedroom door and the bathroom door both opened into the hallway and bang into each other” explains Kerry about what drove her to get a renovation. During the renovation process, Kerry and her family were not residing at the property and in fact took a short vacation to Thailand.

Finding a Renovation Company

Kerry had already done a few renovations previously, and was very happy with their work. However after contacting them she realised that due to GIB shortage they couldn’t accommodate her. When asked why she chose to meet with us she said that “I contacted about two or three, yes and you guys had the best Google reviews”.

First Impressions of Dorothy and Design Process

” first meeting with Dorothy she was lovely she wasn’t absolutely lovely And she was very accommodating when I was talking to her about different things that we wanted to achieve” said Kerry about her first meeting with Dorothy. Dorothy is our renovation consultant but also our lead designer and specialises in creating functional spaces with a specialty in classic bathroom designs.

We asked Kerry what did the bathroom design process look like and she said ” Design process, it was quite an interactive process. After she took the measurements she came up with a plan that made it easier for us to decided what we wanted. We also had a few zoom sessions as we were not in Aukcland, and showed us 3d elevations so it was easier for us to visualise.”

Project Management and Trade Team Interactions (Renovating while on a Holiday in Thailand)

“Nick our project manager was great! He would often advise us if things were not practical and provide solutions that would work in the real life. For example, when the vanities arrived her asked us what an comfortable height would be before installing it. We are not very tall people and this was a great suggestion. We could just trust him with anything. As we were not in Auckland at the time, he gave us daily updates and reports to keep us in the loop” says Kerry about her project manager Nick and his communication with them on a daily basis.

When asked about the trade teams and their daily work Kerry said ” You guys had access to the house at all times as we were not living there but got regular updates on what was done each day. They checked about every detail with us. The trade teams were very good, they cleaned up after themselves each day and arrived at a reasonable time. We had no complaints from neighbours about noise or anything”.

Bathroom Design brief

Kerry and her husband wanted a bathroom that would have a timeless design. They wanted bathrooms that had all modern immensities but also a classic feel so they would not go out of fashion as many trends do.

While some of  the vanities differ in the 3 bathrooms + toilets, the over all theme of the bathroom designs remain modern and classic. They all feature 600 by 600 tiles in matte shades, chrome tapware and simple clean lines.

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.

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.

We engaged with three companies to completely renovate our downstairs and ensuite bathrooms. We elected to go with Superior Renovations as they provided us with a fixed price and specific timeline to complete the project (which two other companies could not do), and we were absolutely delighted with the end result. We love everything from the floor and wall tiles to the heated towel rails and from the LCD mirrors to the underfloor heating and soft close lids. We especially loved replacing the old tub in our ensuite with a walk-in shower.The entire process went incredibly smoothly, with the project being completed on budget and ahead of schedule. From the initial design phase to the final touches, nothing was too much trouble for the team. Superior Renovations conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism, ensuring every detail was perfect.Frank (Project Manager) and the team did such an amazing job. Totally professional outfit, top notch communication, all tradies were courteous, polite and respectful. Alex (Builder) was especially knowledgeable and offered great solutions as minor issues unfolded. Each stage of the renovation was completed on the day it was scheduled. The crew were always on time and mindful of our work from home arrangements. And I was also impressed with the floor protection that was laid out on the first day.Through no fault of Superior, we did encounter a major, unforeseen setback that delayed our renovation on the downstairs bathroom. Superior were patient with us while we sourced specialists to remedy the issue. But once that was all sorted, Frank and the team picked up the baton and charged ahead to the finish line, delivering two beautifully ‘superior’ bathrooms. We also experienced a minor electrical issue post-build. And even though it was unrelated to their renovation work, Frank promptly dispatched an electrician who quickly fixed the problem. Talk about above and beyond!In summary, we highly recommend Superior Renovations for anyone looking to undertake bathroom renovations in their home. We’re already talking about renovating the kitchen next and we’re so confident in Superior Renovations that we will most certainly be engaging with them to complete the task.A huge thank you to Frank, Alex and all the wonderful team at Superior Renovations:)

He answered any query with reassurance and patience.I'm now looking at engaging them again for my main bathroom because I'm not fearful of renovating anymore and confident I'll get a superior outcome. They definitely lived up to their name!

Superior Renovations transformed our bathroom, and we couldn’t be happier. Cici, Jacob, Alex, and Ray were a fantastic team (Ray, our dog, is going to miss you). They tackled our old house’s quirks with creativity and attention to detail. We were especially impressed that they stayed within budget, even with a few surprises along the way. We’d definitely choose Superior Renovations again and highly recommend them.

We engaged Superior Renovations to transform our 30-year old, tired looking and problematic bathroom into something world class - and wow! The end result is simply stunning. The team led by Frank did an absolutely fantastic job. This was our first major renovation project and the entire process was easy and hassle free. The team delivered on schedule, within budget and the quality of their work is outstanding. If you are considering renovating - do not go past these guys.

My wife and I are absolutely delighted with the team at Superior Renovations - and the "superior" job and experience they delivered for us in renovating our ensuite and main bathroom. We are so pleased we chose them for our renovation.Everyone from Cici the designer, and Frank our wonderful and attentive project manager, down to the team of guys doing the heavy lifting were a real pleasure to deal with. We were kept informed every step of the way and everything was done to a very high standard. Nothing seems too much trouble for your crew (in fact Frank even became quite good at running after and catching our dog when the naughty little boy escaped), and they even helped me out with a couple of small extras around the house at no additional cost.Their pricing was very fair - no hidden extras, and they are such hard workers! But I think what impressed me most was that everything they promised was done exactly on the day they said it would be done, and at the time they said it would be done. They were a very respectful, friendly team who obviously take immense pride in their work.Thank you Superior team! Recommend 100%

This place is excellent. The service is fantastic. Eunice was amazing. She is efficient, knowledgeable and professional. Their prices are excellent. We have chosen to go with them for an ensuite renovation.We have now had the pleasure of Superior completing our ensuite. It's a big WOW from us.Communication, professionalism, making sure they checked in with us about preferences, quality of workmanship, quality of materials are all 5 stars.They completed the job early. Payment structure was excellent. The staff were polite and respectful. If there was an issue it got sorted immediately. Follow-up was prompt. There was no lingering to tidy up loose ends. Rubbish taken away immediately. Full respect of our neighbours using a shared driveway with us. Finally Jacob our project manager was the best. He held the job together from beginning to end.To be honest...we were 'blown away' by how smoothly it all ran.
