From our clients
My bathroom turned out exactly as I wanted. Paul is great to deal with. Would use him again.
“They re-waterproofed our shower and they did a great job. The guys were all professional and cleaned up after themselves. The shower looks great. I definitely recommend them.”
Read more reviews“My shower was run down. My silicone and grout had gone black! I had Paul in to remove all the grout and silicone. It now looks as new, what a difference.”

Questions
Helpful answers before you call.
Still unsure? Paul is happy to talk it through.
Call 0432 685 338What does a bathroom renovation involve?
It depends on your bathroom and what you want to change. A renovation commonly involves removing old finishes, preparing and waterproofing the wet areas, then tiling and finishing. The exact scope is confirmed in your quote.
What affects the cost of a quote?
The size of the room, how much is being changed, the condition of what's underneath and the finishes you choose. That's why every quote is prepared for the specific job.
Do you handle waterproofing and tiling?
Yes. Waterproofing and tiling are the core of the business, as part of a renovation or on their own.
Can I send photos of my bathroom first?
Please do. You can attach up to five photos to the quote form. They help Paul understand the space before you speak.
Which areas do you work in?
Gaffneys is based in Wollongong and works across the Illawarra. Include your suburb in your enquiry and we'll let you know.
