Haven Constructions QLD renovates bathrooms and ensuites across the southern Gold Coast. Ben Katene, a licensed builder with over 10 years' experience, personally oversees every job, so the waterproofing, tiling and trades are done right and you always know what's happening.
A bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in the house, and one of the hardest to get right. Plumbers, electricians, waterproofers, tilers and installers all work in a tight space, in a set order, and one missed step can mean leaks and rework down the track.
That's why we run bathroom renovations the way we run any build. Ben manages the sequence and checks the work at each stage, so waterproofing is done and cured before tiles go down, and each trade knows exactly what's expected of them.
Whether it's a main bathroom, an ensuite or a powder room, you get one point of contact and a clear written quote before we start.
Removing the old fixtures, tiles and linings, and checking the floor and walls underneath before anything new goes in.
Waterproofing done properly and given time to cure, then floor, wall and feature tiling finished to a standard that lasts.
Licensed plumbers and electricians for moving fixtures, new lighting, heated towel rails, exhaust fans and mirror lighting.
Supply and installation of vanities, walk-in and framed showers, freestanding and built-in baths, and the glass and fittings that go with them.
Wet-area linings, plastering and a moisture-resistant paint finish, so the room looks good and stays that way.
We tidy up, walk you through the finished room and make sure you're happy before we call it done.
Finished by Haven Constructions at Palm Beach and Elanora.




Call or send the form. Ben replies personally, usually within one business day.
Ben visits, looks at the space, talks through what you want and gives honest advice on what's possible and what to watch out for.
You get a detailed quote you can actually understand, with what's included and anything that could affect the price flagged up front.
Trades are booked in the right order, Ben keeps you updated along the way, and you get a walk-through at the end.
There's no single number, because every bathroom is different. The cost depends mostly on the size of the room, whether the layout or plumbing is moving, and the tiles, fixtures and fittings you choose.
Rather than guess a figure, Ben will visit, see the space and give you a written quote. If something unexpected turns up once the walls are open, like hidden water damage, you'll hear about it from Ben first, before any extra cost.
Most bathroom renovations take around 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the scope and how long materials take to arrive.
We're based in Elanora on the southern Gold Coast, which is where most of our work is. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just ask.

Usually not for a like-for-like internal renovation, but it can depend on the work, especially if walls or plumbing are being moved. Ben can tell you what applies to your project.
Yes, in most cases. The rest of the house stays usable, and if it's your only bathroom Ben will talk you through the options before work starts.
Yes. We manage our trusted network of licensed tradespeople, so you have one point of contact instead of chasing separate trades.
Both, plus powder rooms and laundries. The process is the same: a site visit, a written quote, and Ben overseeing the work.
