Our scope of work for this renovation included putting a washing machine into the bathroom, new laundry sink, new shower in the laundry and more;
- Protection of the property

Nu-Trend only uses the latest modern laundry ideas in Australia including modern cupboards, laundry tiling or even laundry door and window combination installations.
I needed to renovate my laundry & bathroom and went searching online for a good plumber who could own the entire process and manage the project from start to finish.
I came across Nu-Trend and was originally impressed by the number of 5 star reviews they had. I called and spoke with Rick whom I explained what I was trying to achieve with the limited space and organised a viewing so he could scope and price out the work required.
Rick came through and immediately impressed me with his professionalism and creativity...even the wife was impressed and that's saying a lot. He was able to truly bring our vision to life.
Along with his primary team including Robby and Chris, they were a pleasure to work with. An incredibly polite and clean team who treated our home as if it was their own.
The scope of the work we wanted complete expanded into other parts of our home and Rick was able to accomodate us where it made sense. It was a huge load off our shoulders knowing that the Nu-Trend team was involved.
I'd highly recommend Nu-Trend to anyone who is after a high quality renovation in their home. They go above and beyond & will be our go to from now on.

Can an interior designer help with a laundry renovation?
In many cases the laundry is a very small room to start with so this can limit the design decisions that can be made. Sometimes using an interior designer can help you to utilise the space better as they can custom design the room to suit your needs better. An interior designer will look at the overall living arrangements and other spaces in the house to work out clever laundry renovation solutions to maximise space usage, light, ventilation and storage.
Why do laundry renovation quotes vary so much between renovation companies?
Some people might compare quotes from their friends from a similar sized laundry renovation and wonder why there is maybe a $5,000 or $10,000 difference. Although many different factors come into play;
– What was the access like for the renovation?
– Are existing building materials being used?
– Will a Gyprock or renderer be required?
– Is their stair case or single level access?
– Are there noise restrictions that limit the times we are able to work?
– What is parking like around the location?
– Are the existing depths and heights being used?
– What is the condition of the existing room & does it need repairs?
– Will the plumbing need to be moved?
You can save money on a laundry renovation if things like the access is easy, you are using existing fixture locations and time is saved on labour from getting into and out of the room faster or using an existing floor plan.
A combined laundry renovation with washing machine, new sink, cupboards & fittings from the Astra Walker Olde English range
A laundry renovation can use storage principles from kitchen renovation projects to create more usable space.
For this laundry we installed new cabinets, a large, deep stainless steel sing and overhead cupboards. It means the benchtop can be used to clean up dishes from out door entertaining or there is plenty of space to leave a basket of clothes or fold up the washing. We left plenty of space to fit a washer / dryer combo unit & also lots of under bench storage.
This type of laundry renovation can transform a typical old laundry into one that is practical with lots of space, ventilation and storage.

Bathroom and laundry combined renovation with a shower, vanity & washing machine
A very practical combination bathroom laundry renovation with custom made glass shower screen
The bathroom in this renovation needed to have lots of space so that people could come from the pool outside then get changed and have a shower. There wasn’t any need for a large cabinet and vanity unit as the space is used as a second toilet and for guests who are in the backyard. The floor to ceiling tiles help bring the space together with the laundry but also make it easy to clean.
Laundry door and window combination renovation ideas with combined bathroom
Sometimes changing the floor plan means the old window is of no use
When you change the floor plan of a bathroom or laundry it might be necessary to not only move the existing plumbing but change doors, windows, ventilation or even the electrical wiring. For this project the Client wanted to block off an existing window so we helped them find matching bricks.
Doing this type of product matching can take time especially when the property is nearly 30 years old. It took us two days and while it sounds easy there are many things to consider when matching bricks;
– Styles
– Textures
– Colour
– Supplier
Then you have to think about weathering, sunlight, rain, moisture and other factors that can change the colour of old vs new or replacement bricks. We tried our best and luckily our Client was happy with the result. It meant that they could block off an existing window to create more wall space inside the property that helped create more cabinet space.

#2 PLUMBING & FLOORING INSPECTION
Nu-Trend is a licensed plumber which is an advantage when you are renovating a bathroom. For every project we inspect all the plumbing to make sure it is ready for use. When you combine this with our renovation expertise you get piece of mind.

It is the small things that count. We will check things like how your pets get into the house, if neighbours require access to driveways or other things that are important to how you live in your home to make sure everything goes smoothly during a renovation.
#4 RUBBISH REMOVAL
Some renovation contractors will not include this in their service, they might leave the rubbish from the demolition in your backyard or on the street. Nu-Trend will make sure all the materials and rubbish that are not used are removed neatly ensuring your property isn’t left in a mess and neighbours are happy.
#5 MOVING THE SHOWER PLUMBING
For this project we helped move the toilet on the concrete slab as well as the shower plumbing. Moving the plumbing helped to achieve the new floor plan that was needed for this renovation project.
