A1 BATHROOM RENOVATIONS & HANDYMAN SERVICES
Alastair personally fixes leaky, no-waterproofing showers and leaves customers wanting to sit in their new bathroom.
The thing that stands out is Alastair showing up for leaky, no-waterproofing disasters and turning them into bathrooms people just want to sit in. He's praised by name over and over for being the one on site, not a faceless crew, and for sending photos and updates as the job goes. A few reviewers had him renovate two bathrooms and asked him back for more, which is the strongest local endorsement you can get. Given he's only been trading about a year, there's no long track record to judge, but the sample is uniformly warm. If you've got a bathroom with hidden water damage or a previous reno that's coming apart, ask for Alastair himself and confirm he's booking the waterproofing work.

About A1 BATHROOM RENOVATIONS & HANDYMAN SERVICES
Alastair is a one-man lead with a small team behind him, and reviews keep naming him personally for a reason: he's the one doing the waterproofing rehab and the design tweaks others miss. His specialty isn't just tiling; it's fixing what previous renovators botched. One customer found their shower had zero waterproofing and was leaking through the walls, and Alastair turned it into a working, lovely shower. He takes on the full top-to-bottom package too, from gutting an ensuite to handling your own tile choices and layout ideas. Communication shows up in nearly every review: photo updates, progress messages, and working around your schedule. He's been at this for about a year, but in that time he's already booked repeat work from several homeowners. Worth knowing: people spell his name three different ways in reviews, so don't panic if you see Alastair, Allister, or Allistar. If you're in a regional spot around Kilmore with a renovation that's been put off, this is the kind of local who'll show up when he says he will.
Best for: shower waterproofing fixes, full bathroom and ensuite renovations, and leak repairs after poor previous work.
