1. Tell us about your business

Think Bathrooms is a Sydney based company that specialises in full bathroom renovations and restorations. Our primary focus is understanding our clients\' requirements which will enable our team of professionals to design a bathroom to suit their home and lifestyle.

2. When and why did you start your business?

I started the business in 2005 as I am very passionate about building and in particular, bathrooms. I felt that there was a void in the market for reliable bathroom renovators so that's when I made the decision to start up and do something that I really enjoy.

3. On a personal level, what have you achieved with of your business?

Nothing is more satisfying than handing over a bathroom and seeing the expression on our clients faces. We understand that renovating is a stressful experience, and we pride ourselves on the fact that we take the stress out of it. That along with the flexibility of self-employment is very satisfying.

4. What are some of the challenges you’ve faced in growing your business?

Like any start up business, the biggest challenge was recognition and getting our name out there, and then getting the work through the door.

5. What activities have been successful in promoting your business?

Networking and affiliations with industry related businesses has been the most successful.

6. What activities were less successful for marketing your business?

Expensive advertising.

7. Name your favourite thing about your business

Again, it comes back to giving a final product to our clients and the feedback we get from their family and friends. Oh, and the fact that we can take our kids to preschool without having to answer to anyone is a bonus!

8. Who or what other businesses or business people inspire you?

We draw inspiration from other successful businesses small and large, industry and non-industry related.

9. What are your plans for the future of your business?

Continual growth and expansion into other property sectors.

10. Share your best business tip with our readers.

Always deliver what you have said you will, and don't underestimate the power of 'word of mouth.' It is very powerful and can make or break a business.
