Kickstart Your Bathroom Renovation |
| [section-a-content] |
An indulgent free-standing bath. A walk-in rain shower. A bold, custom vanity. Whatever it is you’re dreaming of there’s no time like the present to kickstart your bathroom renovation. Layout is important, but it’s the bathroom fixtures and fittings that bring the real style to your space and the enjoyment for you. Choose a gold basin to sit atop your custom vanity and pair it with gold tapware with matching shower fittings to feel like royalty. A back-to-wall bath will give you the freestanding bath look but save on space and cleaning. Pair it with a freestanding bath mixer tap to keep the look modern. Bring added comfort and ease of movement to older family members with a shower seat and comfort height toilet, all without compromising on style. We stock many brands you know, love and trust, including Raymor, Caroma, Clark, and Dorf. They’re brands you can rely on for their quality and to serve you well for life.

Bathroom Fixtures
Bathroom fixtures are the permanent features in your bathroom that cannot easily be moved without renovation work. That means you want bathroom fixtures that will stand the test of time, so quality counts as do brands you know and trust. At 150 years young and as Australia’s oldest plumbing merchant, when you buy your bathroom fixtures from Tradelink you buy with confidence because quality counts for us too! Browse our bathroom fixtures range – we’ve got everything you need including:
- Basins – make a big modern statement with a bright colour, bold finish, or unconventionally shaped basin, or stick with tradition and create a timeless look.
- Showers – design the kind of shower space that makes you want to linger longer, and be inspired by the trend for minimalism and clean lines to create a real wow factor.
- Grates and floor waste – choose from our range of modern recessed options for a sleek and minimalist look.
- Shower screens – make your bathroom shine whether you opt for straight edges, soft curves, or a striking shower screen frame design.
- Baths – from freestanding luxury baths that make an excellent centrepiece for your bathroom to back-to-wall options that still give that luxury look.
- Toilets – back-to-wall options make cleaning easier while easy height suites offer increased comfort.

Bathroom Fittings
Bathroom fittings are just as important to bathrooms as bathroom fixtures, but bathroom fittings can be more easily moved or replaced. Even though they can be swapped out, quality still counts when weighing up your options, as does style.
At Tradelink, our range includes more than 10,000 bathroom products from leading bathroom products manufacturers in Australia and from around the globe. It means we’ve got what you need to suit every design trend and it comes with the assurance that it has been proven to last. Browse our bathroom fittings range – find on-trend looks and traditional styles:
- Vanities – go wall-hung to open your space or opt for a space-saver that doesn’t ask for compromise.
- Mirrors and cabinets – not just for checking your appearance, use a mirror to brighten and lighten your space and a cabinet to offer the benefit of hidden storage.
- Tapware – from mixer taps that perfectly blend both hot and cold water-flow, to spouts with perfectly paired taps.

Bathroom Accessories
Bathroom accessories add that final finishing touch and the function to the form of your bathroom with things that are designed to make your life easier and look great at the same time. The Tradelink team has the experience and expertise to answer all your questions and help you to choose the right accessories for your bathroom. If you have the space, we’d recommend a large towel rail that allows plenty of airflow and that means your towels will dry faster. A robe hook makes a great addition to the back of the bathroom door and provides extra hanging space for visitors’ towels. Add a matching towel ring beside the basin to keep your hand towel within easy reach. We have specialist accessories ranges too:
- Toilet accessories – from soft-close toilet seats to smart command flushing, take your toilet experience to a whole new level.
- Assisted living – browse our range of aids that bring independence and dignity to people who are ageing, living with disability, and recovering from injury or illness.

Bathroom renovation ideas
So, you’ve decided your bathroom needs a facelift. From complete bathroom renovations to just changing one or two aspects of the space, it all starts with the right idea. And you’ll find those bathroom design ideas in a range of different places. Read what’s on trend in bathroom looks, discover some modern bathroom ideas to get your reno moving and discover how to design your perfect bathroom.
In 2023, we’re more likely to see less over-the-top glamour and more spa-like serenity. We’ll see colour blocking with tiles that have textures, light tones and colours will win favour over all-white bathrooms, and patterned wallpaper will take centre stage over paint. Decorative lighting – from pendants to sconces and ornate ceiling lights – will be complimented by bold and custom elements. Floating shelves, colourful cabinetry and pedestal sinks will all feature. There’s never been a more exciting time to be renovating your bathroom.

How to renovate a bathroom? |
| [accordion-item-content-1] |
You might be able to picture your bathroom renovation, but getting the result you’re dreaming of can almost seem too much. It’s actually much easier than you think. Find out where to start and what to consider – and take heart that you’ll get where you need to be in just five easy steps.
- Step 1: it all begins with a plan – think about what you want to keep and what you want to change, as well as what you want to move and where. Know your plumbing constraints and your budget, as well as other limitations you might be facing like access or time limitations.
- Step 2: find your team – yours might include a draftsperson or architect, builder, plumber, tiler, electrician, water proofer, painter and Tradelink expert, of course! Think about tasks you might be able to do yourself too.
- Step 3: out with the old – with the plans and people in place, it’s time to disconnect the plumbing and electrical and remove and demolish everything that’s going.
- Step 4: build it up – bring your trades back in to get the new plumbing and electrical in place. Next comes the wall and floor finishes, waterproofing, tiling, grouting, and painting.
- Step 5: final finishes – it's time for the fit-off of toilets, shower screens, taps, mirrors, towel rails and more followed by a deep clean to ensure your bathroom gleams.

How to decorate a bathroom? |
| [accordion-item-content-4] |
The bathroom is the often-forgotten room in the house when it comes to decorating, but it need not be. A little effort can go a long way when it comes to styling a bathroom.
- Introduce a touch of green – adding plants is a simple and cheap way to freshen up your space.
- Use towels like art – and to add a big splash of colour and interest to your bathroom.
- Create a wall gallery – bring personality and character through the addition of a collection of small, framed artwork or prints (scour the op shops for these).
- Style a vanity, bath or even a stool – turn your toothbrushes, hand soap, shampoo, and conditioner into a stylish arrangement by placing them on a tray or trivet; it instantly makes them look like they belong.
- Just add paint – it’s amazing what a new coat of paint can do.
- Replace old bathroom accessories – new tapware, towel rails, robe hooks and a toilet roll holder can make your bathroom sparkle.
- Swap out the lighting – replace harsh strip lights with sleek sconces and add a small chandelier to turn up the luxe (you’ll need an electrician to do this – no DIY!).
- Add a new window treatment – replace that dated lace curtain with a plain sheer or step things up with a roller blind or plantation shutters.
