Bathroom Renovations Sydney
The ensuite that has to satisfy a building manager before it satisfies you
A city apartment bathroom renovation has an extra stakeholder before it even starts — the building itself. Picture an owner wanting a tired Art Deco-era bathroom finally brought up to scratch, or an investor in a seventies concrete tower needing the scope pre-cleared so lift access and noise windows don't derail the timeline.
3–4 weeks on site
Most bathrooms finished in three to four weeks, not months

Sydney bathrooms, one crew
Bathroom renovations in Sydney, 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 Sydney bathroom gets the same licensed crew, the same certified waterproofer and the same supervisor from demolition through to handover.
- Licensed NSW builder (Lic. 393475C), fully insured
- Waterproofing certified to AS 3740, with photo records at every coat
- Itemised written quote before demolition — every tile, mixer and fitting listed
- One crew, one supervisor, workmanship warranty

Housing & construction
Why the building era changes the approach
Some CBD buildings are older Art Deco conversions, some seventies and eighties concrete towers, some newer glass buildings — each with its own constraints. Heritage considerations in older buildings, concrete substrates needing different preparation, and body corporate rules that vary building to building all shape how the waterproofing standard and build method have to work.

A quote written to double as a strata document
City apartment jobs need a quote that works as a strata document as well as a price — scope, waterproofing standard, build timeline, and noise management in enough detail to go straight to an owners corporation application. Every cost listed, nothing left open.
Renovating in Sydney
What we usually find in Sydney bathrooms
The age and build of the house sets the scope long before the tiles do. Here's what we plan for around Sydney.
01
Strata buildings need approval, noise windows and protected common areas — we handle the paperwork and the building manager.
02
Older inner-city slabs frequently hide asbestos sheeting and lead paint; we test before demolition, not after.
03
Parking and lift bookings drive the schedule in the CBD, so material deliveries are staged rather than dumped on day one.
Sydney specifics
What affects your price in Sydney CBD
Key variables that influence your renovation cost in Sydney, assessed upfront so your quote stays fixed.
Building era and type
Art Deco conversions, seventies concrete towers, and newer glass buildings each need different substrate preparation and carry different heritage or body corporate rules.
Lift access and delivery windows
buildings with restricted lift access or loading dock hours can extend the timeline, which is planned for before work starts.
Strata documentation requirements, which vary building to building and can add administrative time.
Noise management requirements, which some buildings restrict to specific hours or days.

Questions
Common questions from Sydney homeowners
Short answers to what people ask before booking a measure.
In almost all CBD buildings, yes — we prepare a scope, waterproofing standard, and timeline detailed enough to support an owners corporation application.
Buildings with restricted lift access or set delivery hours can extend the overall timeline — we plan material and waste logistics around your building's specific rules before scheduling starts.
It depends on the building's substrate, era, and any heritage constraints — every job gets a full itemised quote after assessing the specific unit.
Yes — Sydney 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.

From yes to handover
Three stages, three to four weeks on site, strata documentation prepared as part of the process, same crew throughout.
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.
