Bathroom renovations that are properly planned and finished
BOMO Renovations manages bathroom renovations in Cape Town with careful attention to waterproofing, plumbing coordination, tiling, fixtures, ventilation and finishing detail.
A successful bathroom renovation is not only about choosing beautiful tiles and fittings. It is about making sure the hidden work is done properly, the layout functions well, and the final space feels considered, durable and easy to use.
Whether you are updating an existing bathroom, improving a compact apartment bathroom or planning a more complete remodel, BOMO helps coordinate the process from early scope review to final handover.
What can be included in a bathroom renovation
Every bathroom is different, but a typical bathroom renovation may include a combination of demolition, waterproofing, plumbing coordination, tiling, fixtures, vanities, glass, painting, ventilation and project management.
Full Bathroom Remodels
Complete bathroom upgrades involving demolition, waterproofing, tiling, plumbing coordination, fixture installation and finishing.

Tiling & Waterproofing

Vanities & Storage
Custom or ready-made vanity solutions, shelving, cupboards and storage details that improve both function and appearance.
Plumbing & Fixture coordination
Coordination of taps, basins, toilets, mixers, wastes, drainage points and other plumbing-related changes where required.
Why waterproofing and planning matters
Bathrooms are some of the most detail-sensitive spaces in a home. Poor waterproofing, incorrect falls, weak substrates, rushed tiling or unclear plumbing coordination can create expensive problems later.
That is why a bathroom quote should never be judged only by the final number. It is important to understand what is included, how the waterproofing is handled, whether plumbing changes are required, what fixtures are being allowed for and how the finishing details will be managed.
At BOMO, we aim to approach bathroom renovations with the right balance of practical construction planning and design-conscious finishing.
Bathroom renovation costs in Cape Town

Why work with BOMO Renovations
BOMO is built for clients who want more than separate trades. We combine project management, construction, carpentry and interiors to help Cape Town property owners renovate with more structure, detail and confidence.
Proper bathroom coordination
Bathroom renovations involve several trades in a small space. BOMO coordinates waterproofing, plumbing, tiling, fixtures, glass, carpentry and finishing in the right sequence.
Waterproofing and hidden details
The most important parts of a bathroom renovation are often the parts you do not see once the project is finished. We pay attention to preparation, waterproofing, falls, substrates and durability.
Design-conscious detail
We consider how the bathroom will look, feel and function — including tile choices, fixture placement, storage, lighting coordination, ventilation and final details.
Clearer scope before site work
We start by reviewing your project details, photos, videos and measurements where available, then prepare an estimated quotation before arranging a site visit where needed.
