Hills District
Bathroom Renovations Baulkham Hills
Baulkham Hills is full of 1970s and 80s brick homes where the bathroom has been patched twice and never actually rebuilt. Pull the wall tiles off and you generally find the original render, a shower base with no fall, and waterproofing that was a coat of paint.
The blocks here slope, so plenty of homes have a bathroom sitting over a suspended floor or a garage. That changes how we set the drainage and how much we can move the shower waste. We work that out at the measure — not halfway through demolition — and put it in the written quote so the number you sign is the number you pay.

Baulkham Hills homes, and what that means for your bathroom
Most of our work sits in the Hills, so a Baulkham Hills job isn't a detour for us. Hills homes tend to be double-storey brick with a main bathroom and an ensuite upstairs over timber floors, which changes how we sheet, fall and waterproof the room. We also know how the estate streets and school-run traffic behave, so deliveries and skips are staged rather than dumped on day one.

We measure your Baulkham Hills bathroom, work through the layout with you, then put every item in writing — tiles, tapware, waterproofing, rubbish removal. No costs hidden behind a line called "allowances".
Renovating in Baulkham Hills
What we usually find in Baulkham Hills bathrooms
The age and build of the house sets the scope long before the tiles do. Here's what we plan for around Baulkham Hills.
01
Removing an unused corner spa usually gains enough room for a 1200mm shower and a double vanity.
02
Split-level Baulkham Hills homes need careful fall and drainage design where the bathroom sits mid-level.
03
Original vitreous tiles often hide unsealed sheeting — moisture testing happens before we quote the fix.
Baulkham Hills specifics
How a Baulkham Hills bathroom renovation runs
The parts of the job that are specific to this area, worked out at the measure rather than mid-demolition.
Older wall substrates
Rendered brick from the 70s rarely comes off clean. We allow for re-sheeting or re-rendering to a true face so the large-format tiles sit flat instead of lipping.
Sloping-block drainage
Where the floor is suspended, moving a shower waste can mean working from below. We confirm access before quoting so a layout change doesn't become a variation.
Layouts that gained a metre
Swapping a shower-over-bath for a separate hobless shower and a slimline bath is the most common Baulkham Hills rework, and it makes the room feel a size bigger.

Questions
Common questions from Baulkham Hills homeowners
Short answers to what people ask before booking a measure.
Almost always. In Baulkham Hills bathrooms of that era we usually reclaim enough width for a 900mm hobless shower plus a 1500mm bath by moving the vanity wall, not the plumbing stack.
Sometimes, in sheeting or under vinyl. We test before demolition and, if it's there, licensed removal and disposal is quoted properly rather than sprung on you.
Not for a like-for-like bathroom rebuild inside existing walls. If we're moving structural walls or windows we'll tell you at the measure and what it involves.
Yes. We dust-seal the doorway, protect the hallway floor and keep the site broom-clean each afternoon. If it's your only bathroom we stage the work so the toilet is out for the shortest window possible.
Yes — Baulkham Hills is part of our regular run, so our trades and suppliers are already local. No travel surcharge.
Usually within a week. The site measure takes about an hour and you get the quote a few days later.
Three to four weeks. If it's your only bathroom we'll stage the work or sort a temporary option so the household keeps running.
Every job. Done to AS 3740 by a licensed waterproofer, with photos and a compliance certificate handed to you.
Most full renovations land between $22,000 and $38,000. Layout changes and tile choice move the number more than anything else.

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 from Baulkham Hills homeowners
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.
