Bathroom Renovations Dural
In Dural we're usually looking at an older home where the wet area sits over a timber sub-floor and the ventilation was never right.
That combination — timber floor, poor airflow, tired waterproofing — is what causes the smell and the flaking paint people call us about. Fixing it properly means removing back to frame, checking and repairing the sub-floor, installing new membrane to AS 3740 and ducting the exhaust to outside air. Then the finish goes on something solid. Blocks here are large with easy access, so parking on the street and keeping your driveway clear is straightforward.

Bathroom renovations in Dural, start to finish
Remodler is a Sydney bathroom renovation company, not a national franchise with a call centre. We run a small number of jobs at a time across Sydney — the Hills District, Western Sydney and the Upper North Shore — which is why a Dural bathroom gets the same licensed crew, the same certified waterproofer and the same supervisor from demolition through to handover.

Dural & surrounds
Dural homes, and what that means for your bathroom
Most of our work sits in the Hills, so a Dural 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.

What's in your written quote
We measure your Dural 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 Dural
What we usually find in Dural bathrooms
The age and build of the house sets the scope long before the tiles do. Here's what we plan for around Dural.
01
Older Dural homes often have wet areas over sub-floor timber with poor ventilation — we fix the airflow, not just the tiles.
02
Tank-fed properties benefit from pressure-matched tapware; we specify to measured pressure, not assumption.
03
Large ensuites here suit a wet-room layout with the bath and shower sharing one drained zone.
Dural specifics
How a Dural bathroom renovation runs
The parts of the job that are specific to this area, worked out at the measure rather than mid-demolition.
Sub-floor repaired, not covered
Any soft or water-affected timber gets cut out and replaced before sheeting. Tiling over a compromised floor is how you get a second renovation.
Airflow fixed at the source
Correctly sized exhaust ducted outside, plus a plan for makeup air, so steam leaves the room instead of settling in the ceiling.
Rural-block practicalities
Septic systems, tank water and long waste runs all get checked at the measure so the quote reflects reality.

Questions
Common questions from Dural homeowners
Short answers to what people ask before booking a measure.
Usually a combination of failed membrane and poor ventilation. We can tell you which after a look, and the fix is priced either way.
Yes. Fixture selection and waste runs are chosen to suit the existing system.
Most full bathrooms here fall between $25,000 and $42,000. Sub-floor repairs, if needed, are listed as their own line.
Yes — Dural 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 Dural 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.
