Your local bathroom renovator in Glenelg
Glenelg is part of our service area, and it's a suburb where the range of housing keeps the work interesting. Between the 1920s and 30s character villas set back from the beach, the newer townhouses off Jetty Road and the apartments along the foreshore, no two bathrooms here start from the same place — which is exactly why we quote every job in person rather than over the phone.
Older Glenelg homes bring the classic character-home challenges: floors that have moved over a century, original wet areas well past their waterproofing, and layouts that made sense in 1930 but don't now. Newer builds and apartments more often want large format tiles and a clean, contemporary finish — work that needs specialist levelling to land flat and lippage-free. We take on both, and we'll tell you honestly what your particular bathroom actually needs.
Being a coastal suburb, Glenelg bathrooms also earn their keep — they cop constant use through summer and salt-laden air year round. Waterproofing done properly to Australian Standards and a finish built to last matter more here, not less.

Heritage villas to foreshore apartments
Character homes reward patience. A floor that has settled over decades needs screeding and levelling before tiling, and older wet areas almost always need stripping back and re-waterproofing rather than a surface refresh — the membrane is what fails, not the tile.
Newer Glenelg townhouses and apartments tend toward large format tiles and feature walls. Large format looks seamless when it's installed right, but it's technical work: back-buttering, levelling and zero-lippage set-out are what separate a flat wall from a wavy one.

Do you do bathroom renovations in Glenelg?+
Yes. Becks Bathrooms and Tiling is based at Woodcroft and Glenelg is within our metropolitan Adelaide service area. We take on full bathroom renovations, wall and floor tiling, waterproofing, screeding and splashbacks throughout Glenelg and the surrounding southern Adelaide suburbs.
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Glenelg?+
It depends on the size of the room, how much needs to come out, the tiles and fittings you choose, and what we find once the old bathroom is stripped back. We quote free — call 0434 352 798 and we'll come and look at it properly rather than guessing over the phone.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes — Becks Bathrooms and Tiling is licensed, insured and qualified, and all waterproofing is carried out to Australian Standards. The business is owner-operated by Jaedyn Beck, so the person quoting your job is the person doing it.
Do I need a full renovation, or can you just re-tile?+
Often a re-tile and re-waterproof is enough — it depends on the condition of the substrate and the existing membrane. We'll tell you honestly which one your bathroom needs at the quote, including when the cheaper option is the right one.
How long will my bathroom be out of action?+
A full bathroom renovation typically runs over a few weeks depending on scope, waterproofing cure times and fit-off. We'll give you a realistic timeframe with the quote and let you know up front how long the wet area will be unusable.
