Bathroom Renovations Richmond
Richmond bathrooms tend to be either an original in an older cottage or a tired 1990s update that's due for a proper rebuild.
In both cases we take it back to frame, check the sub-floor and drainage, re-set the falls and waterproof to AS 3740. Once the room is sound, the layout usually improves without much extra cost: bath out, walk-in shower in, wider vanity, and an exhaust that vents outside instead of into the roof. Access out here is easy, so materials get staged and the driveway stays clear.

What a Richmond 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 Richmond bathroom renovation is priced off a real on-site measure, waterproofed to AS 3740, and finished by the same team that started it.

Richmond & surrounds
Richmond homes, and what that means for your bathroom
Western Sydney bathrooms fall into two camps: original 70s–90s wet areas that were never properly membraned, and fast-built estate homes with falls that don't quite meet the standard. Around Richmond we strip back to the substrate, water-test before tiling, and rebuild the room properly instead of resurfacing over a problem you'd meet again in two years.
Housing around Richmond
Historic cottages near the town centre, rural-residential blocks and a band of 80s–90s brick family homes.

What's in your written quote
We measure your Richmond 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 Richmond
What we usually find in Richmond bathrooms
The age and build of the house sets the scope long before the tiles do. Here's what we plan for around Richmond.
01
Older Richmond cottages often sit on stumps; sub-floor ventilation and joist condition get assessed before design.
02
Rural blocks on tank water need pressure-appropriate tapware and, sometimes, a pump upgrade.
03
Hawkesbury flood overlays affect insurance and material choice on lower-lying streets.
Richmond specifics
How a Richmond bathroom renovation runs
The parts of the job that are specific to this area, worked out at the measure rather than mid-demolition.
Rebuild, not a re-tile
Tiles come off with the render on most Richmond jobs, so we plan for a full rebuild rather than pretending otherwise.
Layout wins that are cheap
Swapping the bath alcove for a walk-in shower often costs little more than replacing like-for-like.
Country-edge logistics
Deliveries staged, street parking, driveway kept clear, and a daily clean-up.

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 Richmond 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.
