Stone & Steam delivers premium bathroom renovations and stone feature wall installations in Kiama and the surrounding Illawarra coast. Based locally, with 500+ projects completed in the region. Fixed quotes, personal service from brief to handover.
A whole-home stone and renovation scope in Kiama Downs — stone cladding feature walls through the staircase and living areas, outdoor entertaining, upstairs bathroom, and front patio. Six spaces, one team, one point of contact throughout.
The brief at Kiama Downs covered the full home — a stone cladding feature wall running up the staircase, the same stone extended into the upstairs living room, an upstairs bathroom renovation, outdoor entertaining area, and a new front patio. Stone cladding at this scale requires precise substrate preparation, correct fixing system specification, and consistent pointing across multiple surfaces and orientations. The finished result is a home where the stone reads as a single considered design decision throughout — not a feature tacked on in one room. The outdoor living and front patio were built to complement it: same quality standard, same attention to how each surface meets the next.
Kiama and the surrounding coastal corridor is part of Stone & Steam's core working region. We've completed projects from Kiama Downs to Gerringong and have trade relationships throughout the area.
Most bathroom renovators don't touch stone cladding feature walls. Most tilers don't manage full bathroom renovations. Stone & Steam sits across both — which means if your brief covers a bathroom and a stone feature wall, or an outdoor area alongside an interior fit-out, there's one team, one scope, and one fixed price covering all of it. No co-ordination gap between trades.
Stone & Steam is based in the Illawarra and has been working in this region for over a decade. Kiama and Kiama Downs is part of our regular working area. No travel premium, faster response times, and a track record you can verify through referrals from previous clients in the area.
Patrick manages every project personally from initial site visit to final handover. When the scope covers multiple spaces — as it did at Kiama Downs — that consistency matters. There's no version of the brief that gets misread between handoffs, and no ambiguity about accountability if something needs attention.
Every Stone & Steam quote is itemised and fixed before work begins. The price doesn't change unless the scope does. That applies whether the project is a single bathroom or a whole-home stone scope across six areas.
These ranges reflect current Illawarra project costs. Stone cladding feature walls and outdoor living scopes are quoted separately depending on the area and specification involved.

Request a quote"We had a large scope — stone feature walls, bathroom, outdoor area, front patio — and Patrick managed the whole thing as one project. The consistency across every space is what stands out. It all feels like it was designed together, because it was."
"We've used Stone & Steam twice now — bathroom renovation first, then came back for stone cladding in the living area. Both times: fixed quote, on time, exactly what was promised. That kind of consistency is hard to find."
"Patrick's eye for how the stone should sit — the direction of the veining, the way the courses line up at corners — that's not something you get from most tilers. The feature wall looks like it was always meant to be there."
