The longer story

Te Aro Bathroom Works has spent twelve years untangling Wellington's pre-1990 housing stock — sloping floors, asbestos vinyl, plumbing that runs the wrong way under the floorboards. Strong on the unglamorous prep work that makes the finished bathroom last, less interested in fashionable tile choices.
