At the start of 2025 we finally faced up to the fact that our family home built in 1993 was in genuine need of bathroom upgrades. We wanted to do two bathrooms up at the same time and an additional consideration was the fact that my 90 year old mother was living in the upstairs ‘apartment’ and we wanted to move her downstairs. This meant the large downstairs bathroom also needed to be future-proofed for my mum’s needs. In both bathrooms, we sought to change the layout. Downstairs we wanted to add a handbasin in an awkwardly sized toilet, while upstairs we wanted to move walls and doors to improve the flow of the landing.

Once he began the renovations, Nathan coordinated his team seamlessly. From the outset, he was clear that once he started our job, he would be on our job. There was very little downtime and any potential delays were communicated immediately. Nathan’s estimated timeline and costings were remarkably accurate.

Throughout, we were conscious of his oversight and eye on quality control. Without exception, the team of professional tradespeople Nathan had working with him were lovely to have on site. They were considerate of us continuing to live in the house, cleaned up as they went and we simply could not fault them.

It is without hesitation that we would recommend Nathan and Welldesignz.

We met Nathan when we were renovating a 1950’s Nelson bungalow.

He project-managed the complete renovation, taking the house back to its original framework, reconfiguring rooms, building a new shower wet room and kitchen-diner.

From the first to the last meeting he handled everything, never letting any issue derail the project or bringing us problems – he just solved them, and kept going.

Nathan’s attention to detail is phenomenal, the standards he expects from himself, and his network of contractors are exceptional, not just workmanship but timeliness and communication.

From our first meeting we felt that we were in safe hands, the estimated costs were accurate as was the completion timeline. Nathan kept us fully informed as the project progressed, explaining what was happening and what the next steps were. We found this approach comforting especially in the initial stages when the main demolition had been done but there were still no clear signs of what was to come.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Nathan for your project.

Nathan was incredibly supportive and did a fantastic job on our recent extensive bathroom renovation in Enner Glynn.

We had been let down repeatedly for over 2 years by other trades people promising to come and complete the job and in desperation contacted Nathan.

Nathan listened to our needs and made some great suggestions to maximise the space and improve the functionality to future proof the bathroom as we age.

The end result is beautiful that job came in on budget and on time and we would completely recommend Nathan to others in the future.

Karen and myself worked with Nathan and the team to renovate our existing bathroom. We had some fairly unique ideas on how we wanted our new bathroom to look and feel. Nothing was a problem as we navigated through our bespoke design ideas through to fruition.

Along with Nathan, Martin put our ideas into reality which required tailor made workmanship which was always completed to a very high standard.
Thanks team, we love our new bathroom.

Welldesignz has just completed renovations – one bathroom being changed to a shower room/toilet and the other was my laundry changed to a bathroom/toilet. On meeting Nathan I immediately knew I could trust him to get the job done and he and his team did so with skill and detail. Both jobs were completed within the month. This was my first ever renovations experience. I have to say I was very impressed with Nathan, his communication was excellent, if I expressed what I wanted to happen in my limited experience he would guide me in what was the best option, he had my best interest at heart. His team were great and I got to know them which personalised the whole experience. A few laughs in between!! Top marks Welldesignz for getting the job done fast and efficient. I love my new bathrooms what a difference they have made to the feel of my whole house, I look on them with pleasure because they have been done so well, the end result was very satisfying…thank you.

My name is John Macsmith. My wife and I purchased a property at Trafalgar Square Nelson in February 2019 and began planning an extensive renovation which would change the property completely.

We have significant experience in renovations having renovated 10 properties in 3 different countries over 20 years. These properties have all been properties we have lived in so we are very particular about the quality of the work in particular the finishing.

This renovation comprised complete gutting and re building of 2 bathrooms, demolition and rebuilding of the kitchen, removal of walls, removal of some windows and general upgrades of the house.

When we met with Nathan we explained the importance of communication as we would be overseas for the duration of the project. His communication was excellent, both timely and detailed. Nathan’s role was significant as he was responsible for the bathrooms and kitchen.

We are now in residence and give this testimonial having had time to appreciate his work and identify any defects. The standard of work carried out by Nathan is outstanding from the visual effect to the smallest detail.

We have no hesitation in recommending Nathan and would be happy to confirm this testimonial verbally.

We are thrilled with our new bathroom and laundry completed by Nathan and his team at Welldesignz. They took a rough drawing of what we wanted and transformed it into reality. Nathan was really good at communicating with us and we were really impressed with how easy the whole process was. The couple of small challenges that came up along the way (like us wanting a large inset mirror cabinet in a load bearing wall) were always solved quickly and with a good outcome. The workmanship and attention to detail is fantastic, we still have to pinch ourselves that it is ours every time we use it.
Would highly recommend!

This was the easiest and most stress free reno I’ve ever had thanks to Nathan and his team. The work was to a very high standard, nothing was too much trouble. Nathan even vacuumed before I came home. I now have a fabulous bathroom which I am so happy with.

Susan Sparrow

Nathan was a pleasure.
He is a consummate professional, so much so that we added significantly to the scale of our project and still delivered it on time and under our budget. He’s turned out A grade work, has a team of people that can handle any issue and just gets things done. Welldesignz renovated 2 bathrooms, laundry and toilet for us. They look amazing!

James Glover

Nathan and his team were amazing to work with. I had a vision for the bathroom and kitchen renovation and Nathan made it a reality. Nathan listened to what I wanted and brought it to life with the end result being an amazing kitchen and bathroom. The workmanship throughout was exceptional. Nathan and his team, along with his sub-contractors, were professional and friendly and nothing was a problem. This was the easiest renovation I have done as I could trust in Nathan that he understood my needs. I would 100% recommend Nathan for any building work. The experience was A+++.

Brooke Daniells

I used Nathan to renovate the bathroom of my rental property. The quality of his work was excellent and he went the extra mile to make sure the job was completed on time and hassle free. He was very professional and charged a fair price for the work done. I would definitely recommend his services.
