Attn Cairns based MY Swag Members, need bathroom tradies
« on: September 18, 2015, 03:47:09 PM »
Hi Cairns Swaggers
I'm needing a tradesman recommendation for a bathroom overhaul, Edge Hill.
The place is a concrete besser block building, 2 bed unit.
There is a need to:
Remove all old tiles etc
Water proof shower space, Known history of faults in complex
Re tile it all. Fit shower screen.

Now the kicker.
All whilst a tenant is living in it.....
I did have a number for a guy who had done the same work, in the same type of unit before, and under the same duress so to speak.
BUT
I lost it..........

Any recommendations?

It shouldn't be that hard to turn a job like that around in 3 to 4 days tops... I do it result but no help to you in victoria.
There is no way possible if you didnt include waterproofing..witch you'd be mad not to,to do it in under 3 days with no shower

I will ask around and see if I can help you find someone.
I know a fair few tradies so someone should know someone decent.

G'day all,

We're just looking at a full ensuite make over too, how'd you guys go tracking someone down?

Our plan is to gut entire ensuite room, old bath tub, horrible shower curtain at bath tub (I hate shower curtains) old dunny, tiles and vanity all gone...... it's all just to crammed in at present due to the full size tub and larger than required vanity.. plus it's all about 20+yrs old.
Replace with new tiles, paint, smaller vanity, new dunny and where the tub was refurb with walk in his/hers shower only, with glass screens (no more frikken curtain).

Regards,

Barrabart.

I asked a few tradies but none showed any intrest.
Im not surprised, since I can not even get any to do our bathroom.

Hey Bill,
Have you tried Tony from De Rose Plumbing 0408322587 or 4054 3455, we have just had a quote from him and he was recommended by a good mate, seems like a good fella too..... I was just looking around for another quote for some peace of mind. If you haven't found anyone or haven't already approached Tony, give him a try.
