Bathroom, kitchen & laundry renovations for Blackwood homes
Blackwood is the centre of the Mitcham Hills: the main street, the roundabout and the station on the Belair line, with family homes spreading out across the slopes around them. Much of that housing went up between the post-war years and the 1980s, so a lot of Blackwood homes are still running their original bathrooms, ensuites and laundries.
Those rooms are the work Spriggs & Co. are set up for. We're licensed plumbers (Licence No. 284188) who renovate, so a dated bathroom gets stripped back, re-plumbed and re-waterproofed properly rather than patched over. Hayley, our in-house interior designer, plans layouts and finishes that suit a hills home, and the whole job runs through one point of contact.

What renovating in the Blackwood hills involves
Sloping blocks and drainage falls
Plenty of Blackwood homes sit on sloping or split-level sites. That changes how waste pipes fall and where a new shower, toilet or vanity can drain to, so we work it out at the design stage, not halfway through demolition.
Original wet areas, rebuilt to last
Bathrooms and laundries from the 60s, 70s and 80s often have tired or missing waterproofing. We strip back to the substrate and waterproof to current Australian Standards before a single tile goes down.
Hot water, gas and cooler winters
Hills winters run cooler than the plains, so hot water capacity, a heated towel rail and the gas cooktop are worth planning in from the start. Gas fitting and hot water work are done by our own licensed team; we coordinate the electrician.
Renovation & plumbing services for Blackwood
Bathroom renovations in Blackwood
Plenty of Blackwood bathrooms date from when the house was built, somewhere between the post-war years and the 1980s: a shower over the bath, a single vanity, tiles that were fashionable at the time and waterproofing that has had decades of use. A bathroom renovation is the moment to fix all of it properly, not just change the surfaces.
Our licensed team strips the room back to the substrate, works out the drainage falls on your block, re-plumbs and waterproofs to current Australian Standards, then tiles and fits off. Hayley plans the layout and selections with you, and most complete bathroom renovations take around 3–4 weeks on site once demolition starts.
Family bathrooms
Main bathrooms rebuilt with a better layout, a proper shower, more storage and finishes that stand up to a busy household. Often the bath stays; sometimes it becomes a walk-in shower.
Ensuites and small bathrooms
Compact ensuites and second bathrooms get the same waterproofing and plumbing care. Our small bathroom renovation ideas show what's possible in a tight room.
Shower rebuilds
If the rest of the room is fine but the shower leaks or looks dated, we rebuild just the shower: new waterproofing, tiling, screen and tapware.

Renovating in Blackwood — your questions answered
Do you do bathroom renovations in Blackwood?
Yes. Blackwood is part of the City of Mitcham area we cover, and we take on full bathroom and ensuite renovations, kitchens, laundries and plumbing work here. If you're in a neighbouring hills suburb such as Belair, Eden Hills, Coromandel Valley or Hawthorndene, just ask and we'll confirm we cover your street.
Our Blackwood home is on a sloping block. Does that complicate a new bathroom?
It can affect where things drain, but it's normal work for us. Because we're licensed plumbers first, we check the fall available for the shower, toilet and vanity wastes before anything is designed, so the finished room drains properly and you're not hit with surprises mid-build.
Can you move the shower or toilet when you renovate?
Usually, yes. Moving a waste is plumbing work, so we can tell you at the quote what's possible on your floor (concrete slab or timber floor), what's involved and how it affects the job. Sometimes keeping a fixture where it is saves real money, and we'll say so.
Do you install gas cooktops and hot water systems in Blackwood?
Yes. Gas appliance installation, general plumbing and hot water repairs are done by our own licensed team (Licence No. 284188), either on their own or as part of a kitchen, bathroom or laundry renovation.
Do you give free quotes in Blackwood?
Yes. Every quote is free and no-obligation. We'll talk through what you're after, look at the space and give you a clear, itemised quote up front.
How long does a bathroom renovation in Blackwood take?
Most complete bathroom renovations take around 3–4 weeks on site once demolition starts, depending on the size of the room, the tiling and any custom joinery. We give you a realistic timeline before we begin and keep you updated as the job moves.
Can you renovate just the shower in our Blackwood bathroom?
Yes. If the rest of the bathroom is in good shape, we can strip out and rebuild just the shower with new waterproofing, tiling, screen and tapware. If the shower is leaking, it's worth fixing properly before the water damages the floor or walls around it.
