Bathroom Renovations Pennant Hills
Pennant Hills bathrooms are usually the original room in a 1960s or 70s brick home: a steel bath under the window, small mosaics on the floor, and a shower over the bath that nobody in the house enjoys using.
Most jobs here turn into a genuine rebuild rather than a re-tile, because the old render and bedding come off with the tiles. That's not bad news — it's the point where we can widen the shower, move the vanity off the door swing and get the room laid out the way it should have been. Sloping blocks are common around Pennant Hills, so we check sub-floor access and drainage falls at the measure, not on day three.

What a Pennant Hills bathroom renovation looks like with us
We've renovated bathrooms across Sydney long enough to know the difference between a 1970s Western Sydney brick home and a new two-storey build in the Hills. Every Pennant Hills bathroom renovation is priced off a real on-site measure, waterproofed to AS 3740, and finished by the same team that started it.

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

Renovating in Pennant Hills
What we usually find in Pennant Hills bathrooms
The age and build of the house sets the scope long before the tiles do. Here's what we plan for around Pennant Hills.
01
Knocking out the wall between a separate WC and bathroom is the single biggest win in most Pennant Hills layouts.
02
Sloping blocks mean sub-floor access varies wildly; we survey drainage before committing to a fixture layout.
03
Older homes here often need the vent stack relocated to suit a modern shower position.
Pennant Hills specifics
How a Pennant Hills bathroom renovation runs
The parts of the job that are specific to this area, worked out at the measure rather than mid-demolition.
Bath out, walk-in shower in
Nine out of ten Pennant Hills clients drop the over-bath shower and go to a 1200–1500mm walk-in with a linear waste. It makes a small room feel twice the size.
Sub-floor and drainage first
On sloping blocks we confirm where the waste can actually run before we quote a layout change, so the price you sign is the price that gets built.
Ventilation that works
Older Pennant Hills wet areas vent into the roof space, which is how ceilings get mouldy. We duct the exhaust outside and size the fan to the room.

Questions
Common questions from Pennant Hills homeowners
Short answers to what people ask before booking a measure.
Yes, if you want one. In a single-bathroom home with young kids we usually recommend keeping a shorter freestanding or inset bath and running the shower separately.
Three to four weeks on site for a standard Pennant Hills main bathroom, with the dates in writing before we start.
Most full main bathrooms land between $22,000 and $34,000. Layout changes, stone tops and tile size move that figure more than anything else.
Yes — Pennant 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 Pennant 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.
