Full bathroom renovations
Bathroom Renovations in Sydney, Built to Last
Most people we meet have had one quote that looked too cheap and one that made no sense, and neither told them what they were actually buying. The question we get asked first is always the same one: will the price hold, and will anyone turn up?
Here's how we work. You get a written contract with every tile, tap and fitting listed, and the same crew on site until it's finished, usually three to four weeks. Bathrooms are what we specialise in, and it shows: the waterproofing, the falls and the joinery still hold up years after the photos stop mattering.
3–4 weeks on site
Most bathrooms finished in three to four weeks, not months
Certified waterproofing
AS 3740 compliant, so leaks don't come back
Fixed quote
Itemised price before work starts, no surprise extras
What's included
What's included in a full bathroom renovation
A quote that leaves these items out isn't cheaper — it's incomplete. This is what a standard Remodler bathroom covers, and it's all listed in your written quote.
Design & documentation
A measured layout, a 3D concept and every fixture listed by name before you sign anything.
Demolition & waste
Stripped back to frame. We test for asbestos, remove it properly if it's there, and take all the rubbish with us.
Plumbing & electrical
Licensed rough-in and fit-off. If the old drainage is past it, we replace it rather than hope.
Waterproofing
Done and certified to AS 3740 by a licensed waterproofer, with photos at every stage.
Screed & tiling
Falls set properly to the waste, large-format wall and floor tiles, mitred corners, epoxy grout in the shower.
Joinery & stone
Vanity, shaving cabinet and stone tops measured in the finished room, not off a drawing.
Glass & mirrors
Frameless or semi-frameless screens, measured after the tiling is done so they actually fit.
Ventilation & lighting
An exhaust fan sized for the room, and lighting on separate switches so you're not stuck with one setting.
Questions
Bathroom renovation questions
Short answers to the questions we get asked most often.
Three to four weeks on site for a standard bathroom. We give you the start and finish dates in writing before we begin.
Yes. Same crew, same faces, and a text if anything shifts. That's the bit most people tell us went wrong last time.
Only if you change your mind about something. Everything is listed in the contract by name and code before demolition starts.
Absolutely. Come with a Pinterest board or come with nothing — we'll walk you through selections either way.
For a like-for-like internal bathroom, usually not. Strata always needs owners corporation sign-off. We'll tell you which one you are.
We test before we demolish, and anything we can't see is quoted as a provisional sum so you know the ceiling upfront.

How it works
What happens once you say yes?
Three stages and three to four weeks on site. You'll know the price before we start, how long the bathroom is out of use, and who is turning up each morning.
Measure, design and written quote
We measure the room, check the drainage and what's behind the walls, then give you a scaled layout with every fixture listed and a written price that holds once it's signed.
Strip-out, rough-in and waterproofing
Back to frame, licensed plumbing and electrical rough-in, then waterproofing to AS 3740 photographed at every coat. Same crew, same start time, swept down before we leave each day.
Tiling, fit-off and handover
Tiling, glass measured off the finished walls, tapware and joinery installed. Then we walk the room with you, fix anything you pick up, and hand over the certificates and a workmanship warranty.

Answers
More questions about bathroom renovations
We hold a NSW Builder Licence (#393475C) and every trade is licensed and insured. You meet the person running your build at the site measure, not after demolition starts. We also provide a detailed written contract with every item listed before work begins, and a workmanship warranty at handover.
Not if we've measured the site properly. Our quote is a detailed written contract that lists every fixture, tile and fitting by supplier code. If there is a risk we can't see — like asbestos or hidden water damage — we itemise a provisional sum upfront so you know the ceiling before you sign, not after the wall is open.
Most full bathroom renovations in Sydney land between $22,000 and $38,000 for a standard 6–8m² room, with premium and larger builds running $40,000 to $70,000+. The variables that move the number most are whether fixtures stay in place, the tile size and format, whether the room contains asbestos, and the standard of tapware and joinery. We give you a detailed written contract after the site measure so the scope and price are clear before you sign.
A standard full renovation takes three to four weeks on site: demolition and rough-in week one, waterproofing and screed week two, tiling week three, fit-off and finishing week four. We keep the rest of your home live wherever possible, and waterproofing membranes need proper cure time — we don't compress that, because it's the single most common cause of failures we're called in to repair.
Usually no. A like-for-like internal bathroom renovation in NSW is generally exempt development. You will need approval if you are altering the external envelope, changing the building's structure, or the property is heritage listed or in a conservation area. Strata apartments need owners corporation approval regardless. We tell you which category you're in at quote stage.
Waterproofing is carried out by a licensed waterproofer to AS 3740 and you receive a certificate of compliance plus photographic evidence of the membrane before tiling. It's covered by our workmanship warranty. We never allow a tiler to 'roll a bit of membrane on' as part of the tiling day.
No — the room is stripped to the frame. If your home has a second bathroom or powder room we keep it live throughout. Where the renovated room is the only bathroom, we can stage the works or arrange a temporary toilet so the household isn't displaced.
We test suspect materials before demolition rather than discovering them mid-job. If asbestos is present, a licensed removalist handles it and you receive a clearance certificate. Where the quote can't anticipate hidden damage, we itemise a provisional sum upfront so you know the ceiling on that risk before you sign.
