Living through a Caulfield bathroom rebuild
interwar homes and apartment stock rarely give you a spare wet area. Sequence the job so one bathroom remains usable, or plan temporary facilities before strip-out.

Low-porosity tiles, a real exhaust path and a vanity that can take splash outperform feature stone on every wall. Caulfield bathrooms reward one feature zone, not eight.
