Kenilworth Bathroom Renovations
A renovator who gets the wet-area work right, in a home you’re still living in.
Kenilworth homes are mostly family homes with a main bathroom, often an en-suite too, and a household that still needs to function while the work happens. Homeowners here want it done properly, on a schedule that works around their family, by one team they can actually hold accountable not a renovation that turns into months of disruption or a bathroom that starts leaking a year later.
At SmartCurve Renovations, we bring the same fixed-price, one-contractor approach we’ve built our name on across Cape Town, with the wet-area detail waterproofing, drainage, falls treated as the part that actually matters, not an afterthought before the tiles go down.
Renovating a Bathroom in Kenilworth: What’s Actually Different Here
A bathroom renovation that looks good on handover day but fails within a year isn’t a finished job; it’s a delayed problem. Here’s what we actually do differently:
- Waterproofing that accounts for slope, not just membrane. A waterproofed shower floor that doesn’t drain properly will still fail; water sitting against the membrane and grout line finds a way through eventually. We set the correct fall on every shower floor before waterproofing goes down, and check it drains properly before a single tile is laid.
- A renovation that works around a family, not the other way round. We protect the route through your home, clean the site daily, and if you’ve got more than one bathroom, we sequence the work so there’s rarely a point where every bathroom in the house is out of action at once.
- En-suite and main bathroom planned together, not as two separate jobs. Where a property needs both, we plan the sequence and deliveries as one programme, so you get one realistic timeline instead of two jobs colliding.
Getting the wet-area detail wrong is how a bathroom renovation turns into a second renovation a year later, this time repairing water damage instead of updating a room. We plan around getting it right the first time.

What a Kenilworth 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.

Bathroom Renovation FAQs for Kenilworth Homeowners
How do you make sure the waterproofing actually holds?
We set the correct fall on the shower floor before waterproofing goes down, check the drainage works properly before tiling starts, and allow the correct cure time — even when that means the programme takes a little longer.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
Yes, in almost every case. 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, and we keep the site clean daily.
Do you handle en-suite conversions?
Yes. If you’re adding or upgrading an en-suite alongside a main bathroom, we plan both as one programme, not two separate jobs, so the timeline actually makes sense.
What does it cost?
Most full bathroom renovations fall between R35,000 and R220,000+, depending on size, finishes, and whether the layout or plumbing changes. We quote per bathroom after a free site visit.
How long does a Kenilworth bathroom renovation take?
A single bathroom usually takes three to four weeks, five to six if the layout or plumbing moves. If you’re doing a main bathroom and en-suite together, we’ll give you one realistic combined timeline in the written quote.
How do you protect the rest of the house while you work?
Dust protection on the route in, daily site cleanup, and careful material handling — the goal is that the rest of your home stays livable throughout, not just the bathroom looking fine at handover.
