Bathroom renovation checklist: measure, match and order in the right order

Sep 18, 2026

A bathroom renovation runs smoother when product decisions follow the build sequence - not the other way around. This checklist is how we walk customers through a typical Loganholme / Brisbane south remodel at Elenni: measure first, lock wet-area layout, then choose finishes you can actually match.

1. Measure and photograph what you have

Room length / width, ceiling height, window and door swings.
Existing waste positions (toilet, shower, bath, basin) and rough-in heights for mixers.
Hot/cold feed locations and whether the vanity is wall-hung or freestanding.

Bring photos and a tape measure to the showroom - it saves a second trip.

2. Decide the layout early

Shower over bath, separate shower, or wet room?
Single or double vanity? Wall-hung vs freestanding - see wall-hung vs freestanding and mount types.
Storage: shaving cabinet / LED mirror vs open shelf.

3. Lock the "wet" products before tiles

Vanity size and mount - confirm plumbing access and bowl overhang.
Basin - width, depth, tap holes; use the basin sizing guide.
Tapware and shower set - one finish family where you can; read finishes and gunmetal vs matte black.
Bath (if any) - length, waste position, freestanding clearance.
Wastes and drains - shower / floor wastes guide plus basin plugs & wastes.

4. Check compliance on the shortlist

Ask for WaterMark on plumbing fittings and WELS on taps, showers and toilets. We verify manufacturer paperwork for the SKU - we do not invent ratings.

5. Match accessories last (but not as an afterthought)

Towel rails, toilet-roll holders and hooks in the same finish code as the mixer. Browse accessories once the tapware finish is locked.

6. Logistics with a Loganholme showroom

Confirm lead times with us before your tiler books - bulky vanities and baths need clear site access.
Click & Collect or delivery from Loganholme; rates at checkout. Inspect on arrival; do not install damaged goods.
Keep invoices for manufacturer warranty claims - Elenni helps you lodge them.
