Kitchen and bathroom renovations in Tauranga

The two rooms that change a home the most, planned and built by one team from strip-out to final clean. Functional, beautiful and tailored to the way you live.

Kitchen renovations

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and we treat it that way. We build kitchens that are as functional as they are beautiful, tailored to suit your lifestyle, your taste and your home's layout. That starts with the layout: where the bench runs, how the island sits in the room, whether a wall should come out to open the kitchen to the living area. Then the cabinetry, the benchtops, the lighting and the finishes.

Because Create Built is a builder rather than a kitchen showroom, we can change the room as well as fit it out. Moving a wall, adding a window, relocating plumbing and rerouting electrical are all part of the job, coordinated by us with our own trades.

Bathroom renovations

From luxurious ensuites to smart space solutions, we handle full bathroom upgrades with seamless project coordination and quality craftsmanship. A bathroom renovation is a compact job with a lot of trades in it: demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, electrical, joinery, glazing and painting, in a strict order. Getting the sequence right is what makes the difference between three weeks and three months.

We do the waterproofing properly and to the standard the council and the tile manufacturer expect, because a beautiful bathroom that leaks is a reclad waiting to happen.

What we include

  • Design help, or work from your designer's drawings
  • Strip-out and disposal, with the rest of the house protected
  • Plumbing and electrical relocations and upgrades
  • Waterproofing and tiling to the applicable standard
  • Custom cabinetry and joinery, vanities, storage and shelving
  • Benchtops, splashbacks, tapware and fixtures supplied or fitted
  • Painting, glazing and finishing, then a thorough clean

Renovating both at once

If you are planning a kitchen and a bathroom, or a whole run of wet areas, doing them together saves money and disruption: one set of trades on site, one consent if one is needed, and one clean-up. It is also a natural first step in a bigger home renovation.

Tailor-made storage, custom cabinetry, shelving and feature walls that elevate interior spaces with functional beauty are part of what we do across Tauranga, Mount Maunganui and Papamoa, and we bring that same joinery capability into every kitchen and bathroom.

Questions about kitchens and bathrooms

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

A straightforward like-for-like bathroom is typically a few weeks once materials are on site. Moving fixtures, changing the layout or waiting on custom joinery adds time. We give you a programme with the quote and keep to it.

Do I need a consent for a new kitchen or bathroom?

Replacing fixtures in the same positions generally does not need a consent. Changing the plumbing layout, adding a bathroom, altering structure or changing the exterior usually does. We will tell you what applies for your job and handle it if one is needed.

Can I supply my own tapware, tiles or appliances?

Yes. Many clients like to choose their own finishes. We just need them confirmed and on site in time for the programme, and we can advise on what works well before you buy.

Do you do custom joinery?

Yes. Vanities, kitchen cabinetry, wardrobes, storage walls and shelving can all be made to fit the space rather than the other way around.
