An ensuite is the bathroom you use first thing every morning and last thing at night, so it should work beautifully. Hunter Bathrooms Brisbane renovates ensuites across Brisbane — from compact refreshes that keep the existing layout to complete reworks that move doors, remove walls and combine rooms.
Ensuite Renovation Ideas From Our Recent Projects
- Combine the ensuite with the walk-in robe. In East Brisbane we removed the wall between a small ensuite and the robe beside it to create one large ensuite with a 1.8-metre double vanity.
- Fix the way in. At Woolloongabba the only entry was through the walk-in robe; we relocated the door so both rooms work properly.
- Make room for a walk-in shower. Also in Woolloongabba, removing a bay of two casement windows created space for a 1500 walk-in shower.
- Double vanities and mirror cabinets. His-and-hers basins with wall-hung cabinetry and demister mirrors turn a busy morning routine into an easy one.
- Add an ensuite where there wasn’t one. In Bowen Hills a single oversized bathroom became a main bathroom plus a new ensuite for the adjacent bedroom; in Annerley a workers cottage ensuite was expanded into neighbouring space.
- Comfort details. Heated towel rails, lit shower niches and cavity sliding doors make a compact ensuite feel like a hotel bathroom.

Renovating the Ensuite and Main Bathroom Together
Many of our clients renovate the ensuite and main bathroom at the same time, as in Yeerongpilly, Annerley, Chapel Hill and Woolloongabba. Using the same tiles and tapware in both rooms gives the home a consistent finish, and doing both in one project means one period of disruption. It can also save money — see why renovating two or more rooms can save you.
All of our tiles, vanities, toilets and tapware come from Concept Tiles at Rocklea, where Kim and Martin work through the design and selections with our clients. Every wet area we build is waterproofed to Australian Standard AS 3740 and certified.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you combine my ensuite with the walk-in robe?
Often, yes. We have done exactly this in East Brisbane and reworked an ensuite and robe in Woolloongabba and Coorparoo. Whether it suits your home depends on the walls, plumbing and how you use the robe, which we assess on site.
Can you add an ensuite to an existing bedroom?
In many homes, yes — particularly raised Queenslanders, where plumbing can be run underneath. In Bowen Hills we split one large bathroom to add an ensuite to the adjacent bedroom.
How long does an ensuite renovation take?
Most ensuite renovations take around three to four weeks on site. Layout changes, new walls or window work can extend this, and we confirm the timeline with your quote.
Do you install cavity sliding doors in ensuites?
Yes. A cavity slider is a great option where a swinging door eats into a compact ensuite, as in our Red Hill townhouse project.
