Asbestos Bathroom Removal

Welcome to Coastal Asbestos Removal

Older bathrooms can contain asbestos in wall linings, ceiling sheets, backing boards, flooring, tile adhesives, and wet area products such as Tilux. In many cases, asbestos is not obvious until renovation work begins. Once bathroom materials are cut, drilled, broken, or removed incorrectly, asbestos fibres can become a serious risk.

Coastal Asbestos Removal provides professional asbestos bathroom removal across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, South East Queensland, and Northern NSW. Our team works with homeowners, builders, bathroom renovators, property managers, and insurance repair teams to identify and remove asbestos containing materials before the next stage of work begins.

For anyone planning a bathroom renovation, the safest first step is to check before demolition starts.

Services We Provide

Professional removal of asbestos containing bathroom materials, including wall linings, ceiling sheets, backing boards, and wet area sheeting.

Tilux Removal

Safe removal of Tilux bathroom wall sheeting, a product often found in older wet areas and shower recesses.

Bathroom Stripouts

Bathroom stripout support where asbestos containing materials need to be identified, removed, and disposed of before renovation work continues.

Tile and Wall Sheeting Removal

Removal of tiles and wall sheeting where asbestos may be present behind or beneath bathroom finishes.

Asbestos Testing and Reports

Asbestos testing and reporting to help identify bathroom materials before renovation, demolition, or repair work begins.

Why Bathrooms Need Careful Asbestos Checks

Bathrooms in older homes often look updated on the surface, but asbestos containing materials may still be hidden behind tiles, under flooring, or within wall and ceiling linings. This is why bathroom renovations should be approached carefully, especially in homes built or renovated before 1990.

Standard asbestos sheeting can look similar to modern bathroom linings once it has been painted or tiled over. Tilux, on the other hand, often has a more recognisable mottled finish and aluminium cover strips over the joins. A visual check can raise concern, but testing is the only reliable way to confirm whether a material contains asbestos.

Before You Start Your
Demolition or Renovation

Bathroom renovation work usually involves removing tiles, fixtures, walls, flooring, plumbing fittings, and internal linings. These tasks can disturb asbestos if it is present. A quick decision to start demolition without checking first can create avoidable financial burdens and serious health risks for trades, homeowners, neighbours, and future occupants.

Coastal Asbestos Removal can inspect, test, report, and remove asbestos containing bathroom materials before your builder, plumber, tiler, or renovation team moves ahead. This helps give everyone working onsite clearer information about what is present, what needs to be removed, and what can safely happen next.

Friable Pipe Lagging Hidden Behind Bathroom Walls

In some older bathrooms, friable pipe lagging can be found around pipes that have been chased into walls. It may appear as a dark grey paste that has been trowelled over the pipework to hold the pipes in place and provide insulation before the wall is rendered and tiled. Because it is hidden behind finished surfaces, it can easily be missed until demolition, tile removal, or bathroom stripout work begins. Friable asbestos materials need to be treated with extreme care, as they can release fibres more easily when disturbed. Coastal Asbestos Removal can assess, test, remove, and safely dispose of these materials before the next stage of work continues.

Kelly Neale

We are a small Builder on the Gold Coast and recently engaged Jason and his team for some Asbestos removal. We can’t thank Karen, Jason, and the team for their advice and knowledge, given our limited experience with Asbestos it was nice to know we were in good hands. The work completed on time and we were able to then continue on with our side of the project seamlessly. Thanks again for all your help team, see you on the next project! Wouldn’t use anyone else.

We had a great experience with Coastal Asbestos. Jason was timely and professional — he came out quickly to take samples and provided a prompt, clear quote. The team completed two demo and removal jobs for us, working efficiently and safely. They were respectful of our home, arrived on time, communicated well via email, and even navigated our steep driveway without any issues. Everything was left clean and tidy. Highly recommend!

Jordan Rogers

We recently had asbestos removed from the walls and ceilings on the ground floor of our two-storey home. After learning that asbestos had been used, we contacted Coastal Asbestos based on a recommendation from a friend—and we’re so glad we did.The team was incredibly professional and efficient. Communication was smooth from the start, and Karen in the admin team was very responsive, patiently answering all our detailed questions. Thanks to her support, we felt well-prepared and at ease leading up to the job.We initially thought the removal would take 3–4 days, but they completed everything perfectly in just two days. We were told the asbestos was not too firmly bonded in our case, but we believe their speed and precision were a big reason why things went so smoothly. They also did a thorough clean-up before leaving, which showed their high level of professionalism.We are extremely satisfied with their work and would gladly hire them again. I’d confidently recommend Coastal Asbestos to anyone needing asbestos removal. Thank you so much!

Emma Ridings

I called up to get the stipple in my ceiling tested for asbestos. After hearing about how some companies swap samples and to be wary of business that test for asbestos (so they can get a demo job), from the moment I spoke to Karen and Chris I knew I could trust them and feel at ease. When Jason came to the property he was pretty confident that there wasn't any asbestos but I wanted to test just for ease of mind. I needed the sample tested asap as I had trades booked to start renovating the property in two days time. Jason knew this and personally delivered the sample to the independent testing centre that night for testing first thing the next morning. By the end of the day I had a negative test produced and were able to safely start our renovations. Thank you to Jason, Karen and the team for your out of this world customer service and your professionalism throughout the whole process. Hoping that the other trades I deal with as we renovate our property are just like you.

Adrian Hays

Great team. They were quick and reliable. Left the place neat and clean.

Kati Szűcs

The owner of coastal asbestos came out and quoted the job which I though was great. He went through the whole process in detail which put our minds at ease. His guys turned up early and were ready to go. They went through the works process and explained what they were going to do. All work place health and safety were used and area was barricaded of with all correct signs in place. When the guys were finished the area was clean as a whistleIf I was to have asbestos removed again I would call coastal asbestos and have them do it. If any of my friends and family needed to have asbestos removed I would recommend coastal asbestos without hesitation.

A mclaughlin

Good company to choose .Lead operator was experienced , efficient and agreeable ,.Good job

Brian and Faye Miller

The guys were prompt and professional throughout the entire process. Would recommend them.

Justin Huntington

Can’t recommend highly enough! We were going to get a sample taken “just in case” before getting the bathroom renovated, but because the technician knew when and how our house was built he confirmed no need to test and no charge for coming out. Saving money and a reputable business found! Winning!

Sherrie Warrell

I am completely happy with this company. They are very professional, on time, reasonable quote was given. The removal of my asbestos was completed on time. Very happy with the job.

Kathleen Williams

Lynne McAlister

Awesome job by the team! They removed all the asbestos and even stacked some of the pavers in piles neatly. They cleaned up after themselves and would for sure book them again.

Riley Fitzsimmons

I started home renovations in my wife and my first home recently purchased without considering that some of the materials on my older house could have contained asbestos. I called Coastal who responded the very next day. Upon inspection the guy who came to take a sample was adamant that the gyprock material in both ceiling and wall would not contain asbestos and also refused to accept a call out fee.The company could have easily taken the sample anyway to warrant a call out and inspection fee but did not. Great company with good word of mouth reputation. In the future I’ll be sure to use them for any asbestos related concerns

Jack Jansson

We removed an Asbestos fence on the property perimeter. The job was , smoothly done punctually at a reasonable price. The clean up was good and both myself and our neighbour were well satisfied.
