We have recently moved back into our house after a kitchen and bathroom renovation by Bespoke Renovation Builder Pty Ltd, owners of Peninsular Contemporary Bathrooms.
The kitchen was a major project which included removing a load-bearing wall to create an open, modern space. The work was carried out on time and, with a few pre-agreed variations, within the contract price. We are delighted with the quality of workmanship and the end result surpassed all expectations. We had an excellent working relationship with Dave Smith, the business owner, who was helpful throughout, very responsive to questions and made numerous suggestions for promptly dealing with any unexpected issues.
The bathroom was a much more straightforward project, but again, the result is excellent. Read More

We initially engaged Dave from Peninsula Contemporary Bathrooms to construct a new bathroom and W.C., however, once work commenced, significant structural issues were discovered within the property. What began as a relatively contained project quickly evolved into a complete renovation and rebuild of the entire top floor. Dave committed fully to the challenge and guided us through each stage as the issues were uncovered and addressed step by step. His calm, solutions-focused approach gave us confidence throughout what could have been a very stressful process.
Dave has an amazing team who are all respectful, professional and truly A-grade tradesmen. Their craftsmanship is outstanding and the result speaks for itself. Every aspect of the build was carried out with impeccable attention to detail, and nothing was ever rushed or overlooked. Dave clearly has a genuine commitment to professionalism, quality and detail, and it shows in everything his team does.
Importantly, the project remained within the agreed costs, and Dave was always available to provide advice, guidance and practical solutions whenever decisions needed to be made. Throughout the entire build he was honest and transparent, and communication was always clear. We always felt confident that everything was being handled fairly and professionally.
What really sets Dave and his team apart is their ability to problem-solve. As with any complex renovation, unexpected challenges arose, but every time Dave approached them calmly and methodically, working through the best solution. The team also deserve an A grade for keeping the site clean and tidy, which made a huge difference during such a large project. They were always reliable, turning up when they said they would and consistently delivering work of the highest standard.
If you’re looking for a building company that combines skill, integrity, reliability and genuine care for their work, we would highly recommend Bespoke Renovation Builder (A Division of PC Bathrooms ). We are absolutely thrilled with the result and look forward to engaging Dave and his team again to complete the ground-floor renovation in the near future. Read More

I’ve known and worked with Dave for over 14 years as I am his plasterer from conception to completion. Dave leaves no stone unturned. Extremely detailed builder. does not cut corners and expects all his trades to follow suit, being neat and clean is one of his utmost importance, respecting each client’s property and space as if it were his own. Dave strives to always outdo all expectations, leaving every client completely satisfied and content with their money well spent.

I would strongly recommend Dave and his team! I was filled with confidence from our first meeting. I had already seen the quality of his work from his website photos but what really sold me was his professionalism, work ethic and passion for his craft and the pursuit of absolute perfection in his work. He and his interior designer planned and then executed the perfect bathroom and washroom renovation that exceeded my expectations in every single way. The finishes and attention to detail were incredible and he would not accept anything below his highest standards from all of the suppliers and contractors involved in the work. Clever solutions for my limited space gave me both form and function – practical solutions that also looked incredibly stylish. I was so impressed with his work that a bathroom and washroom renovation soon became a full apartment renovation. After a conversation about my vision for the entire apartment, Dave and his designer brought to life all of the aspirations I had for my home, while also diplomatically steering me away from some of the ‘not so good’ ideas. A kitchen facelift to match my new bathroom aesthetic and bring continuity throughout the home, with a new bifold window and servery opening up onto my balcony. A new timber deck installed over my old balcony tiles along with a new bifold door opening my lounge room right up to my new stylish outdoor space. Smart privacy solutions also meant that my previously unused balcony has become the apartments star attraction. Dave regularly checks in to make sure everything is up to standard, and the few times l’ve needed an adjustment or two he’s responsive and it’s never a hassle for him. He’s also a genuinely good guy, which for me was a key decision factor given he became a big part of my life over 2025 while the work was being done. I am thrilled with the outcome and have recently had my apartment re-valued and was very pleased with the estimated return on my investment! Read More

We recently had some maintenance work done on our property by Dave Smith from Peninsula Contemporary Bathrooms, including replacing pretty much all of our floorboards. We also asked him to help design, constructing, and installing a custom wine wall (ie wine cellar) ….. and we couldn’t be happier with the results of both projects.
Dave is a meticulously tidy and highly skilled builder who completed all work on time and to an exceptionally high standard. His attention to detail and pride in his craftsmanship really stood out. The subcontractors he brought also reflected his high standards and professionalism.
Dave was also incredibly responsive, following up promptly on every request and making the whole process seamless from our perspective.
We would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for high-quality repair work or custom installations—especially if you’re considering something unique like a wine wall! Read More

Dave is undoubtedly one of the best builders I have ever worked with, if not the best. He approaches every task with remarkable efficiency and precision, ensuring that the job is completed swiftly and seamlessly. Throughout the renovation of my bathroom, Dave meticulously walked me through each step, offering timely advice on what needed to be done and why. His guidance was invaluable, and he ensured the project stayed on schedule from start to finish.
What truly impressed me was not just the quality of the work but the professionalism with which it was carried out. Upon completion, Dave left my home spotless, having thoroughly cleaned up after himself, returning the space in perfect condition. The final result was nothing short of stunning—a beautifully crafted, brand-new bathroom that exceeded my expectations.
I also had the pleasure of working with Rebecca, Dave’s colleague, who is an exceptional designer. She effortlessly organized all the product selections, making sure they matched both my functional needs and aesthetic preferences. Her keen eye for detail and ability to understand my vision contributed significantly to the success of the project.
The teamwork between Dave and Rebecca was flawless, and their combined expertise made the entire renovation process smooth and enjoyable. The outcome was worth every penny spent, and I couldn’t be happier with the investment.
I will absolutely be calling Dave again for my other bathroom renovation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch bathroom renovation services. AAA service all around! Read More

Dave did a complete bathroom and laundry replacement in our home, including new tiling, windows, cabinetry, vanity, bath/shower, exhaust, appliance/fittings installation, underfloor heating, lighting, doors, and it all looks so amazing, it feels like we’re entering a 5 star hotel! Not only did Dave do a superb job on both these rooms, he was the cleanest and most considerate tradesperson I’ve ever met. Dave has a very high work ethic, always striving for excellence in his workmanship. If you want to go with someone you trust will do his utmost to provide a quality end product, give Dave a call!

Dave Smith of Peninsula Contemporary Bathrooms has just completed an amazing transformation of our two bathrooms, laundry and WC. After speaking to a number of his previous clients, my wife and I expected an exceptional standard of work and weren’t disappointed. Dave introduced us to Rebecca Cardamone of Ace Property Agency for assistance with selection of fixtures, design and drawings. This provided a solid basis for quoting project cost and duration. With regular consultation, Dave made sure throughout construction that we were happy with the way that the design features were coming together. With over 30 years’ experience, he made some really good suggestions for cost savings and to improve the final appearance and functionality of each room. Unlike some builders, Dave only works on one project at a time so was always on site from start to finish. He has a long-standing relationship with a number of independent, quality tradespeople who attended on relevant days to keep the schedule moving smoothly. Our part of the project was to purchase tiles, taps and other fixtures. We found Dave to have a very pleasant manner and be thoroughly reliable, honest and timely. He was able to keep the property remarkably clean, even during the demolition phase. We now understand why Dave & his company (Peninsula Contemporary Bathrooms) continue to win Best of Houzz awards. They set the highest standard in attention to detail and service. We have no hesitation in recommending Dave for your next bathroom project. Read More

Peninsula Contemporary Bathrooms’ Dave Smith demolished and rebuilt our bathroom, ensuite and powder room and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Dave is a talented master builder who does the screed, waterproofing and tiling himself, so he knows the work is completed to his high standard, and uses an excellent team for all other trades. We also wanted new louvre windows installed in theses rooms and then decided to get a new roof. Dave, with his building expertise and contacts, recommended a roofing company and sorted out a few other building issues for us. Dave is a perfectionist who takes extreme pride in his work, keeps you updated with options and progress throughout the renovation, is extremely organised, reliable and trustworthy and keeps the worksite clean and tidy. We’ve come to realise there are bathrooms and then there are bathrooms. We have no hesitation in recommending Peninsula Contemporary Bathrooms. Dave went above and beyond. Read More

My husband and I highly recommend Peninsula Contemporary Bathrooms for those who want a premium quality bathroom. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, fastidiousness and expertise in all areas of what is indeed a complex room are exemplary and extremely professional. We too ended up with a very stylish, functional bathroom without fault. We enjoyed all our dealings with Peninsula Contemporary Bathrooms, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Read More

Dave did a wonderful job on our complex, high end renovation. I am a tricky client, but our client builder relationship worked better than I could have hoped. No doubt this was because Dave has a very high attention to detail, takes great pride in his work and genuinely wants you to be happy with every little detail. He also has a good memory for the little things that come up in conversation – but could so easily be forgotten. Perhaps most importantly, Dave is fair, honest and a pleasure to have around. He respects the family’s space and works in around you as he goes about his business. In our case we had some unusual requests that involved things Dave hadn’t done before. He planned everything out methodically so that there were no stuff ups. Ten out of ten. Would highly recommend. Read More

I enjoyed ripping out a very old and tired bathroom but decided to leave it to the expert to rebuild. Dave did a fantastic job.

We ended up with a very smart and space efficient room that is stylish and built to last. I highly recommend Dave as a premium bathroom builder. Read More

My wife and I highly recommend Dave Smith from Peninsula Contemporary Bathrooms. We engaged Dave at the start of December 2020 with an ambitious aim of having our unit bathroom completely gutted and renovated by Christmas. We specified a detailed project with large format tiles, lineal drain, underfloor heating, perimeter LED lighting, heated towel racks, LED vanity mirror, fabrication of a large shower nook with LED lighting etc etc. Without the benefit of working drawings to build from, he set out a schedule that had us in by the 24th of December and he kept to it. We asked Dave to deliver a very high standard of workmanship and he delivered above those high expectations. He is very communicative and engaged us at every stage to ensure that we understood the process and that we were happy with the decisions and actions taking place. His input on everything from tile selection to design ideas and ergonomics was spot on and thankfully we listened to him – as a result we have the luxury of a bathroom that is a joy to use. Highly recommended. Read More

With his command and knowledge of the trade, Dave found a fairly simple solution to our problem that had been created by an unprofessional, inefficient and irresponsible tradesman. It was a very tricky repair job that Dave most graciously accepted to do. His ingenious solution to the problem saved us a huge expense that otherwise we would have had to incur. His good nature and honesty, his integrity and his professionalism is highly commendable. He goes that extra mile and takes pride in his creative work. Thank you Dave for a job well done Read More

When our 20-year old bathroom wall collapsed, due to zero original waterproofing, the replacement search produced Dave Smith. What a find ! Not only Dave, Master builder, true artisan, but also a great ancillary connected trade team to do the strip-out, electrics and plumbing. Dave’s organisational skills superb, did everything to promised schedule with a daily staged plan. His “office” , setup in space on our back verandah, was kept organised with a daily cleanup, scrap removed and every detail carefully considered.The planning and execution without fault. His suggestion that local Tiles by Kate would be a good supply source proved correct – 10 minutes explaining our preferences produced a great solution for wall and floor. Even at the end – when there was a minor delay in glass supply for the track shower screen, Dave kept us accurately informed when it would be completed. Obvious that Dave, a resolutely focussed bathroom craftsmen, has spent years assembling a professional team of independent trades which meet his exacting standards. We are thoroughly satisfied in every way. Caution – stick to the bathroom – don’t challenge Dave to an off-shore kayak paddle. He’s bound to beat you! Read More
