Understanding Payment Milestones During Your Renovation

At Custom Bathroom Creations, we follow a structured payment schedule to keep your bathroom renovation on track and hassle-free. Payments are made at key milestones, ensuring that work progresses smoothly while giving clients confidence in the process.

Here’s what you can expect from deposit to practical completion.

1. Payment Milestones Explained

Our payment system is structured into four key stages, aligning payments with major progress points in your renovation.

🔹 Deposit (Upon Booking Your Renovation)

✔ Secures your place in our schedule.
✔ Covers planning, material orders, and initial setup.
✔ Ensures your renovation starts on time.

💡 Why it’s important: This deposit allows us to lock in trades and materials, avoiding delays once work begins.

🔹 Demolition Payment (Before Work Begins)

✔ Covers the removal of old tiles, fixtures, and cabinetry.
✔ Includes disposal and preparation for new installations.
✔ Ensures the site is ready for waterproofing and construction.

💡 Why it’s important: Demolition is a crucial step to assess hidden issues (like damaged pipes or structural concerns) before rebuilding.

🔹 Waterproofing Payment (After Waterproofing is Completed)

✔ Ensures waterproofing membranes are properly applied and cured.
✔ Covers compliance with Australian waterproofing standards.
✔ Required before tiling and fixture installation can begin.

💡 Why it’s important: Waterproofing is one of the most critical steps in a renovation, preventing leaks and long-term damage.

🔹 Practical Completion Payment (Before Handover)

✔ Covers the final stage of your renovation, including tiling, fit-off, and finishing touches.
✔ Ensures everything is cleaned, checked, and functioning correctly.
✔ Confirms the bathroom is ready for use.

💡 Why it’s important: This final payment allows us to complete detailed inspections and ensure your new bathroom meets our high-quality standards.

2. Why We Use a Progress Payment System

✔ Keeps work on schedule – Ensures smooth progress at each stage.
✔ Provides financial transparency – You know exactly what each payment covers.
✔ Minimises risks for both parties – Work is completed before payments are made.

💡 Tip: Progress payments ensure that each stage is completed to the highest standard before moving forward.

3. What Happens If a Payment Is Delayed?

To keep your renovation running smoothly:

✔ Payments must be made on time for the project to proceed.
✔ Work may pause if a payment is delayed.
✔ We provide clear invoices and reminders to help clients stay on track.

💡 Tip: If you have concerns about payments, let us know early so we can discuss options.
