About Us
Renew Kitchen & Bathroom Resurfacing
Renew Kitchen and Bathroom Resurfacing offer a specialist service in southern Brisbane and the Gold Coast for kitchen renovations and bathroom renovations. Commencing operations in 2011, our vision was to provide a smarter, more affordable alternative to the traditional bathroom and kitchen rebuild for South East Queensland families. Where possible we encourage our clients to benefit from the time and money savings available to them by resurfacing or refacing kitchen, bathroom and laundry fixtures rather than throwing them out and starting from scratch. In many cases this is also a more environmentally friendly option. In addition to domestic makeovers, Renew Kitchen and Bathroom Resurfacing provides a professional refurbishment service for the amenities of commercial premises.

Alex
Resurfacing Technician
As our head resurfacing technician Alex Pollock has been honing his craft for years and has developed the skill of resurfacing Gold Coast kitchens and bathrooms into a fine art. Loved by our clients for his cheerful, courteous nature you can always count on Alex for a dad joke while he does a top job of spraying those tricky spots, such as the back corners of open shelves and microwave oven spaces. As the son of a professional painter with a flair for the artistic, we think he might just have paint running in his veins.

Liz

Liz is passionate about designing spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Not only is Liz a qualified kitchen and bathroom designer with decades of experience running her own design company, but she also taught the Certificate IV in Kitchen and Bathroom Design course for 10 years. Liz has been a judge for the HIA national awards from 2021 to 2025 and brings a wealth of professional creativity and practical advice to our clients.
