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

The tiles are ordered. The vanity is still a Pinterest folder. That is how renovations stall - product decisions arrive after the build sequence, not before it.

A bathroom renovation runs smoother when choices follow the build. 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

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

4. Check compliance on your list

Ask for WaterMark on plumbing fittings and WELS on taps, showers and toilets. We verify manufacturer paperwork for the SKU - confirm ratings on the live product page. Your licensed plumber remains responsible for compliant installation.

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 starts - bulky vanities and baths need clear site access.
• Click and 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. Brand warranty applies.

Quick showroom visit kit

• Tile / benchtop sample or accurate photos in daylight.
• Room sketch with waste positions.
• Budget band and must-have finish (e.g. matte black vs chrome).
