Gold Finishes with Textured Wood

Project Finish Date

August 2022

Most people renovate their bathrooms either because the style is dated, or the layout is just not functional. When asked why they decided to renovate Chris says ” Instead of just repairing the leak we thought we might as well do the whole thing. As we had not renovated before we did not want to renovate both the bathrooms at once. We decided if the first one goes well then we will renovate the next as we didn’t like it’s layout”. 

Chris and his wife Hang first renovated their ensuite with us and we then renovated their guest bathroom. The highlight of this renovation is the bathroom design with its striking brushed gold tapware/fixtures with deep wooden textured vanities. This combination along with light wooden textured tiles, and neutral wall tiles give this bathroom a classic contemporary touch which gives it a timeless feel.

When asked how they went about looking for companies Chris said ” We first thought we would be able to manage the different trades but then quickly realised that we didn’t want to do that. We contacted a few companies but you guys got back to us the soonest”

” We got quotes from other companies but they didn’t give us the same reassurance. When we talked to you guys, it’s like everything was clear, the steps, the costs etc” said Chris when asked why they chose us.

Chris and Hang’s consultant Dorothy is also our lead renovation designer. She worked alongside our project manager Nick who was responsible for managing our trades team, keeping the project within the timeline, managing supplier deliveries and being our clients’ only point of contact throughout their bathroom renovation.

Design Process

As a designer and consultant, Dorothy usually helps our clients’ narrow down choices of their bathroom fixtures, and advice around design/textures and colours. Chris and Hang already had a vague idea on what they wanted but as they had not renovated before, they relied on Dorothy’s advice especially when it came down to practicality and functionality.

When asked why they chose the combination of wood and gold they said ” Oh we went to your showroom and I just fell in love with the gold”. Our renovation showroom in Wairau Valley, Auckland features a bathroom display with a wooden vanity and brushed gold fixtures.

Renovation Process and Project Management

Nick was the lead project manager for Chris’ bathroom renovation. We asked Chris and Hang about their renovation process and they said ” It was very smooth, Nick who was managing the process was informing us every step of the way. And we had a couple of problems and he would show up within 30 minutes and resolve it”.

” The trade team was lovely. They always asked us if everything was fine before they left. Before they installed the vanity, shower or sink they would ask us what height was more suitable for us. They even helped us with things that were not part of the renovation like moving our furniture”

Main Bathroom

This bathroom was very small and the layout was not functional for our clients (as seen in the ‘before’ photos in the start of the case study. It was also very dated and it looked even more smaller due to the bulky acrylic shower.

Hence, Dorothy advised our clients to switch things around a bit to make it more functional. We also custom built a tiled shower with custom shock proof glass to give it an illusion of a bigger bathroom.

All fittings for this bathroom were from the same brands as the guest bathroom.

  • Ravaini 1500 American Walnut Stone cast – Matt white
  • Tony rectangular basin
  • Tate Shower mixer brushed gold
  • Evoke towel rail brushed brass
  • Mizu drift Dome pop up.

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:)

Superior Renovations made the process so enjoyable, I'm truly delighted with the transformation from an old tired room to modern functionality.Jacob led a wonderful team of professionals who were considerate and efficient. 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.
