Houses here usually have three or four bathrooms, and they tend to get done together or in a planned sequence. That changes the conversation from one enclosure to a set, where consistency of glass, hardware and finish across the house matters as much as any single room.
Matching hardware across four bathrooms
Hardware finishes look similar in a catalogue and clearly different on a wall. Chrome, satin and brushed nickel are three distinct things, and stainless varies between makers.
If bathrooms are done a year apart, matching later is largely luck - ranges change and finishes are discontinued.
So where a house is being done over time, we recommend buying the hardware for all of it at the start even if the fitting is staged. It is the one part of the job that is genuinely difficult to correct afterwards.
Low-iron glass, and when it is worth it
Ordinary clear glass has a faint green cast, which comes from the iron in it. You see it looking through the edge of a panel.
Against white or pale marble that green is visible and, once noticed, hard to stop noticing. Low-iron glass removes it and costs more.
Against dark or patterned tiling it makes very little difference and is not worth paying for. So the answer depends on the tiling rather than the budget, and we will say which of your bathrooms would actually show it.
Frameless needs a square room, and these usually are
Frameless glass is cut square and relies on the walls being square, which is exactly what it cannot correct.
Houses of this standard are generally built well enough that frameless works, but finish quality varies between floors and between rooms.
So we level all three walls in each bathroom separately rather than assuming the house is consistent. Occasionally one room out of four needs a slim frame, and it is better to know that at the quote than to find it when the glass arrives.
How the job works
- Tell us about the jobSend a few photos, rough sizes and what you need. Use WhatsApp or the form. For a repair, a short video of the door moving helps a lot.
- We call you back in about 2 minutesWe confirm what you need and a time to visit. Where we can, we give you a rough price on the call.
- We come and measureWe measure the opening and check the walls, floor and ceiling around it. Anything made to size is made to these measurements, so they must be right.
- You get a written priceIt lists each item, with GST as its own line. If anything about the job changes, we tell you before we go ahead.
- We fit itYou approve the price and pay the advance. Our own team fits the work, checks that every door and window opens and closes properly, and clears up. Most jobs are done in 3 to 4 days.
