Banana Bathrooms
Kye's on-site project management and Adam's no-pressure quoting make complex multi-bathroom renovations notably less stressful.
The designer-to-project-manager handoff is a genuine strength: multiple reviewers on complex jobs (older homes, multi-bathroom scopes, accessibility needs) describe being kept informed at every stage without having to chase. The one honest caveat worth flagging: four reviews in the sample raise concerns about post-handover defect resolution, including one serious complaint about unfinished plumbing work and another about warranty communication going quiet after completion — a pattern that clears the threshold to be worth noting, even if the majority of completed jobs draw nothing but praise. Before signing, it's worth asking directly what their defect rectification process looks like and who your point of contact is if something needs fixing after handover.

About Banana Bathrooms
Banana Bathrooms runs full-service bathroom renovations end-to-end — design consultation, demolition, tiling, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting, and final clean — with a showroom in Broadmeadow where customers can walk through 18 fully fitted-out display bathrooms before committing to anything. The team structure is worth knowing before you call: Adam handles quoting and initial design (reviewers repeatedly praise his honest, un-pushy approach to scoping projects), Shelley and Lauren are the in-house designers who help translate a brief into a specific tile-and-fitting plan, and Kye (also spelled Kai) is the project manager customers interact with most during the build and consistently credit for keeping trades on schedule and communication clear. They work almost exclusively on residential projects and handle complexity well — multiple reviewers had older homes with slab plumbing, load-bearing walls, or 40-plus-year-old bathrooms requiring structural workarounds, and in each case the team found a solution rather than walking away. They also have experience with accessibility renovations, with one completed project drawing praise from Allied Health professionals on functionality and finish. Where Banana Bathrooms stands out against the comparison field is the one-stop-shop model: the quote covers design, supply of tiles and PC items, all trades, and cleanup, and several reviewers who got competing quotes noted that splitting the work across separate suppliers didn't save them money.
Best for: full bathroom gut-and-rebuild in older Hunter region homes, multi-bathroom renovation packages where managing separate trades is impractical, and homeowners who want design-through-completion handled under one contract.

How does the Banana Bathrooms design process work before construction starts?+
Banana Bathrooms operates a dedicated showroom in Broadmeadow with 18 fully fitted-out display bathrooms, which is where most customers begin. In-house designers — Shelley and Lauren are mentioned by name across multiple reviews — work with you to settle on a layout, tile selection, and fixture choices before anything is quoted. Adam, who handles quoting, is praised for being upfront about what's practical within a given budget rather than over-promising. Customers who visited the showroom consistently say it made decision-making significantly easier than working from samples or a mood board alone.
Does Banana Bathrooms handle everything, or do I need to source my own trades?+
They operate as a full-service renovation company, meaning one quote covers design, demolition, tiling, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting, and final cleanup. Reviewers who compared quotes from multiple suppliers noted they couldn't match Banana Bathrooms' pricing by splitting trades separately. Named tradespeople across reviews include plumbers, electricians, tilers (Matt is mentioned by name), carpenters (Peter and Anthony), a painter (Guy), and shower screen installers — all coordinated by project manager Kye. You deal with one company throughout rather than managing individual contractors yourself.
How long does a typical bathroom renovation take with Banana Bathrooms?+
Most reviewers describe a single bathroom renovation completing within three to four weeks once construction starts. Multi-bathroom jobs naturally take longer. Several reviews mention the timeline running slightly over the original estimate — this appears common on older homes where unexpected structural or plumbing issues arise mid-job. The positive pattern in those cases is that tradespeople showed up consistently and Kye communicated the reasons for delays rather than going quiet, though a small number of reviewers did report needing to chase for updates during longer builds.
What happens if something isn't right after the job is finished?+
This is the one area where reviews are genuinely mixed, and worth raising before you sign anything. The majority of completed renovations receive no post-handover complaints, and several reviewers mention minor issues being resolved promptly during the build. However, four reviews in our sample specifically mention difficulty getting warranty or defect work addressed after completion — including one reviewer still organising fixes six months later. Before engaging, it's worth asking directly: who is your contact for post-completion issues, what is the defect liability period, and how are rectification jobs scheduled?
Is Banana Bathrooms suited to older homes with complicated layouts?+
Based on the review sample, this appears to be a genuine area of strength. Multiple reviewers had projects involving homes from the 1950s to 1980s, slab plumbing redirections, wall removals, or severely outdated three-way bathroom configurations — and describe the team navigating those challenges without walking away from the job. Kye and the trades team are credited specifically for problem-solving on site when unexpected issues emerged. They've also completed at least one accessibility-focused renovation that drew positive feedback from Allied Health professionals on the functional outcome.
