AA Bathrooms is a Christchurch-based bathroom renovation specialist owned and operated by Austin Anderson, a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) with a lifetime of craftsman experience. Austin originally built his reputation in the UK, where he specialised in the highly demanding work of upgrading heritage bathrooms in historical homes and loft conversions — disciplines that require extraordinary precision and attention to detail.
Having relocated to Christchurch in 2004, Austin brings that same meticulous standard to New Zealand homes, ensuites, and commercial spaces. He and his team carry out everything from complete bathroom remodels to expert shower installations, working with homeowners, landlords, insurance claimants, and clients needing accessibility modifications. Shower-fitting is a particular speciality — a laborious job requiring careful installation to avoid damage to surrounding areas and eliminate the risk of hidden leaks.
Clients deal directly with Austin throughout every project. He helps with design planning, recommends suitable products, works to any budget, and completes jobs in a timely manner. A long list of five-star client testimonials — including homeowners, landlords, and commercial operators — attests to consistently clean, high-quality results. References from previous clients are available on request.
AA Bathrooms is a Christchurch-based bathroom renovation company owned and operated by Austin Anderson, a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) who has spent his working life mastering the intricate craft of bathroom renovation and upgrade. Originally from the UK, Austin built his reputation in one of the most demanding areas of the trade: restoring and upgrading heritage bathrooms in historical homes and completing loft conversions — work that demands patience, precision, and an uncompromising eye for detail.
Austin relocated to Christchurch in 2004 and has since applied those same exacting standards to help Canterbury homeowners, landlords, and property investors transform their bathrooms and ensuites. What sets AA Bathrooms apart is simple: when you hire them, you deal directly with Austin. He is the experienced owner-operator, not a dispatcher handing your job to a subcontractor you've never met.
The business covers the full spectrum of bathroom renovation work across Christchurch. For homeowners, that means everything from a full bathroom remodel to a targeted upgrade — and Austin will assist with design planning and product recommendations if needed. He and his team work to your budget, whether that is modest or substantial.
Shower installation and fitting is one of Austin's signature specialities. It is meticulous, high-stakes work: precision installation is required to avoid damage to the surrounding bathroom and to ensure there are no hidden leaks that could cause costly problems down the track. Clients consistently praise the finished result — clean, tidy, and done on time.
AA Bathrooms also serves landlords specifically, liaising directly with tenants to make the process as hands-off as possible for the property owner. Landlord clients note that Austin comes in on budget and makes the job genuinely hassle-free. For insurance-related damage or required repairs, AA Bathrooms handles insurance claim projects too, providing the kind of thorough, documented workmanship that insurers expect.
A fourth key service area is accessibility alterations — modifying bathrooms to meet the needs of older residents or people with mobility requirements, making homes safer and more liveable without sacrificing quality.
Reviews from past clients paint a consistent picture. Austin keeps clients informed throughout the job, starts when he says he will, and finishes on time. When unexpected issues are discovered mid-project — such as rotten floorboards beneath tiles — he surfaces them immediately and agrees a fix rather than leaving a problem buried under new work.
His communication is described as faultless and honest across jobs ranging from residential bathroom renovations to commercial work. The finish is clean: clients note he leaves the bathroom tidy, requiring no additional tidying after he's done. One client completed a full bathroom upgrade in under a week.
