    "Alchemy Bathroom Renovations have been the most professional company we have dealt with.
    We had many quotes but they were the only ones who gave a full breakdown and allowed changes with no hassles.
    The team did an amazing job on our bathroom renovations.
    We are extremely happy with our modern looking bathrooms.
    We would like to thank Nick and the team for a great job especially Steve who seemed to work non stop.
    We found everyone helpful and easy to deal with. They communicated well and got the job done.

    We fully recommend Alchemy to anyone looking for renovations.

    "Nick, Sean, and Steve at Alchemy are true professionals. They've just completed 2 full bathroom refurbs for us, and we love the results. Alchemy is an absolute machine. They are highly organised, and they know exactly what they are doing. We also worked with their designer, Lesley Bros, to help us get the colours and specs right. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alchemy to others looking to put a sparkle back into their bathrooms."

    "Fantastic whole flat renovation done by the Alchemy team.On time and on budget with a few outliers expected when tearing down and old place.So great having all trades needed coordinated by Alchemy.All the tradies were high quality and no shortcuts taken.Specialists were called in as needed, thinking of the coving work.Material choices were also spot on,quality,stylish and decent pricing.Sound design choices made and great having the services of the designer, Lesley Bros, to add in the design touches that have made all the differences, such as the opening sizes.All the tradies were respectful and ran a tidy and safe worksite.No neighbour complaints!This is now the second time we have used the Alchemy team plus it has given us a great resource of tradies to use as required .Would not hesitate to recommend."

    "We renovated our small ensuite. Nick and his team were a pleasure to deal with, not only completing the job quickly and well, but also gave good advice. So glad we took his advice to move the shower and the toilet and the room looks so much better, the new lighting also is a vast improvement. Would use this team again. Sorry the picture isnt as good as it looks in reality, couldnt fit the whole room into the shot!"

    "I needed my bathroom renovation done at short notice after the tenants moved out earlier than expected. I called around quite a few companies and Nick was the one who told me he could deliver a new bathroom within the time available. I honestly didn't expect things to run so smoothly given the time constraints but Nick and his team delivered a fantastic bathroom on time and on budget. It really transformed the whole house as the old bathroom was well past it's used by date. I wouldn't hesitate to call on Alchemy again should the need arise. A+"

    "Nick and his team at Alchemy Bathrooms recently renovated our bathroom and toilet.
    Nicks quote was competitive and his team of professionals were always punctual and a pleasure to have around the house.
    The bathroom was a full gut and Alchemy project managed the job from start to finish.
    Nick was very approachable and always easily contactable.
    The bathroom was finished in the agreed timeframe and to a very high standard.
    I would not hesitate to use Nick again and thoroughly recommend his team at Alchemy Bathrooms.

    "I came across Alchemy bathrooms when I visited a friends recent renovation. She was thrilled with the results and service so I asked Nick for a quote for my bathroom.
    He was quick to respond and provided me with some really good ideas, as well as offering an interior design service, which I accepted. Lesley (designer) came over and tweeked the design and after receiving the quote, the work was started on schedule 2 weeks later.
    There were a few changes along the way, which were considered in the price but he was very transparent and once the job was completed there were no surprises.

    Nick is incredibly honest and thorough. And nothing was a problem to him. He also gave good advice where I was less knowledgeable.

    Though my bathroom is small I am so happy that it was completed by Alchemy. In fact he has also given me quotes for my other toilet and kitchen. Awesome work Alchemy !

    "Alchemy by name and nature. Magical nature of their work left me astounded.
    mirrors set for 2 metre giants
    leaking pipes -that weren't screwed in properly
    shower doors that didn't open because the vanity unit was placed too close to the door
    leaking showers from pipes that weren't properly installed, leaking showers because they felt it was not necessary to silicon the edges
    fans located in shower at ear height with associated hole in the shower wall
    did I mention the pipes that now sprung a leak again

    only redeeming feature was that as each calamity was pointed out they did come and repair the problems.

    Nick is a nice affable scotsman

    project management was Ok though there were times no one came for days obviously doing other jobs. but miraculously still finished more or less on time.

    very prompt with the billing, with followup phone calls a day later.

    very tidy and cleaned up after themselves each day which was a bonus.

    Scores really well with tidy and generally timely finish.

    however you do wonder what drives their decision making as they install the different components on the bathrooms

    Would I use them again? Im not sure. If I want some entertainment on dumb they would be ideal.
    "
    Nick McKelvie responded:
    "That’s unfair Colin the mirrors were set at the height you agreed to then you asked them to be lowered.And well you know it was another area in your house that leaked and we came and fixed it anyway. But you agreed we finished on time And you agreed we are very tidy Perhaps you should have talked to your wife before you posted this she is lovely,are you trying to damage my business? Cheers Nick."

    "Nick and his team at Alchemy did a great job doing up my bathroom and toilet. Their communication were very good, helpful and had no issues with their quality. They were reasonably priced and had no surprises with the final invoice. There were a couple of minor things which would've made the whole renovation even better, such as having a bit more time to chose the tiles.

    But overall, I would recommend Alchemy and definitely consider using them again.

    "Nick quoted for and then organised the renovation of our bathroom. Nick was very helpful with suggestions for the layout and fittings to help us achieve the bathroom we were looking for. The team arrived at the expected time and worked tirelessly to complete the job as promised before Christmas. We were very impressed with the workmanship, communication and the friendliness of Nick and the team and always felt that we were kept informed of the progress. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to others looking for a fantastic bathroom renovation at a competitive price. Well done guys."

    "We recently had our bathroom & WC updated, to give us a 2nd toilet in the bathroom, and a vanity in the (very small) WC. Nick visited and went over some ideas with us, and gave us a timeframe of 2 weeks, ensuring that we would have a toilet throughout the process - important with two primary age children.

    Nick's team, led by Craig, were friendly, reliable and great company to have around. There were some minor challenges to overcome, mainly due to the small size of our rooms, and they actively involved us in the decision making all the way. The electrician and plumbers were again superb, and turned up when they said they would.

    We are very happy with the end result, and the main bathroom was finished in just over a week. We would have had the whole job done in that timeframe, but the delay was due to a cabinet we wanted being on back-order - even then it was fitted & finished within the original 2 week timeframe.

    I would heartily recommend Alchemy for your bathroom reno, and I would have no hesitation calling on them again in the future.

    "We chose Alchemy based on the comments on 'No Cowboys' and it proved a sound decision.
    Our job was to convert an unused bedroom into an ensuite. Nick recommended a architectural firm who turned our vision into plans and Nick and his team implemented it.
    There were a number of issues that arose during the job but we were very pleased that Nick stepped up and sorted them without hesitation.
    In retrospect the time frame quoted by Nick was somewhat optimistic but some of the delays were outside of his control. In any event we are well pleased with the result and would not hesitate to recommend Alchemy.

    "Nick was friendly and quick to respond. The quote was fair and we undertook the work which was done we think to a high standard. However, Nick was less than informative when it came to council requirements. In hindsight we felt he wanted to rush this job through before Christmas. You would think Nick and the team should be COMPLETELY up to date and able to advice and communicate with customers on council requirements (especially for bathrooms) and guide people through this process if they are new to it. We are now having to go back and get a code of acceptance through the council which equals more outlay of money.

    My advice is anyone looking to engage with Alchemy bathrooms is to do your prep with the council first.

    "We have just had our ensuite completely rebuilt. This required moving a wall for more space, as well as remodelling all fixtures, tiling etc. Nick and the Alchemy team were superb. Whilst we had a design already, Nick’s expertise and experience meant that his advice on a few key areas, and suggestions for optimising the design, were extremely valuable.

    We priced four providers, and Alchemy were competitive. Nick was clear about when they could complete the work, and his timelines were accurate. His team were very personable, prompt and careful on-site. Communication was always prompt, with Nick operating as the touchpoint and managing the project.

    The transformation from before to after was stunning, and we could not be happier with the end result. Very highly recommend Nick and his team at Alchemy.
