Renovating a Bathroom in Fresnaye?
Bathroom Renovations in Fresnaye
A fixed-price bathroom renovation, one contractor, with SABS-approved materials suited to a coastal-adjacent, slope-cut property.
No Pressure. No Payment Required
Fresnaye Bathroom Renovations
A renovator who plans around your actual property, not a template.
Fresnaye runs from mid-century homes to contemporary architect-designed houses, most built on platforms cut into the slope below Signal Hill, with interiors finished to a high standard. A bathroom renovation here needs a plan that respects the rest of the property, not just the room itself.
At SmartCurve Renovations, we bring the same fixed-price, one-contractor approach we’ve built our name on across Cape Town, with a plan built around your actual property from the first visit.
What You Get With a Fresnaye Bathroom Renovation
A bathroom renovation in Fresnaye should come with a few things stated plainly, not assumed:
- A fixed-price quote before any work starts. You get a clear, written number covering every trade, agreed before demolition begins — not a starting estimate that grows once the job is underway.
- SABS-approved materials and fixtures suited to the property. From tapware to waterproofing, we use materials that meet SABS standards and suit a coastal-adjacent, slope-cut home, on every job.
- One contractor coordinating every trade, start to finish. Plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, electrical, and joinery all need to happen in sequence. We coordinate the full job ourselves, so you have one point of accountability for the whole renovation.
That’s what you should expect from any bathroom renovation in Fresnaye. We plan around your actual property from the first visit, and put it all in writing before you commit to anything.
Every Trade Your Bathroom Renovation Needs
You appoint one contractor. We handle the full scope, from strip-out to the final finish.
Strip-Out & Demolition
Careful demolition, rubble removal, and dust protection for the rest of your home.
Plumbing & Drainage
Re-routed pipework and new drainage, planned around your property’s actual construction.
Waterproofing
Showers, wet zones, and floors sealed properly, with cure time built into the programme, before a single tile goes down.
Tiling
Clean lines, level layouts, feature tiling where you want it.
Joinery & Vanities
Custom vanities and storage built to fit the room.
Fixtures & Fittings
Baths, showers, basins, toilets, and tapware, fitted properly.
Electrical & Lighting
Downlights, extractor fans, and compliant circuits.
Paint & Finishing
Moisture-resistant paint and the detailing that ties it together.
What a Fresnaye Bathroom Renovation Costs
Every bathroom is different, and the honest number depends on size, finishes, and whether the layout or plumbing moves. As a planning guide, based on our own completed projects:
Standard
R35,000–R70,000
A same-layout refresh: new tiling, waterproofing, fixtures, and hard-wearing finishes.
Mid-Range
R70,000–R130,000
Layout changes, a walk-in shower, a custom vanity, upgraded tiles and tapware.
High-End
R130,000–R220,000+
A full rebuild with premium tiling, bespoke joinery, and structural changes.
We quote per bathroom after a free on-site visit, so the number you get reflects your actual property — not a generic online estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about renovating a bathroom in Fresnaye.
Do you work on Fresnaye’s mid-century and architect-designed homes?
Yes. Fresnaye’s housing ranges from mid-century houses to contemporary architect-designed homes, many on platforms cut into the slope. We assess your property’s actual construction before planning the work.
How do you protect the rest of a finished home while renovating one bathroom?
We seal off the work area, keep the site clean daily, and protect the route through your home, so the rest of the property stays as it was when we finish.
You’re based in Brackenfell — do you actually service Fresnaye?
Yes. Fresnaye is our first confirmed Atlantic Seaboard suburb. We plan site visits and logistics the same way we do for any property outside our immediate area — it doesn’t change the fixed-price quote or the standard of work.
What does it cost?
Most full bathroom renovations fall between R35,000 and R220,000+, depending on size, finishes, and whether the layout or wall construction complicate the work. We quote per bathroom after a free site visit.
How long does a Fresnaye bathroom renovation take?
A single bathroom usually takes three to four weeks, five to six if the layout or plumbing moves. We give you a realistic programme in the written quote.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
In most cases, yes. We protect the route through your home, keep the site clean daily, and if you’ve got more than one bathroom, we sequence the work so there’s rarely a point where all of them are out of action at once.
How do I get started?
Call us or request a callback through the website. We’ll book a free on-site visit, look at your actual bathroom and property, and send you a clear written quote.
