- Ask for the waterproofing certificate at handover.
- Keep the hobless entry only if falls and set-downs are real.
- Do not relocate the drain unless the layout is broken.

Living through a Sandringham bathroom rebuild
coastal family homes and period cottages rarely give you a spare wet area. Sequence the job so one bathroom remains usable, or plan temporary facilities before strip-out.
Finishes that suit Sandringham moisture loads
Low-porosity tiles, a real exhaust path and a vanity that can take splash outperform feature stone on every wall. Sandringham bathrooms reward one feature zone, not eight.

Do I need a permit for this work in Sandringham?
