What a bathroom renovation costs in Sydney
A full bathroom renovation in Sydney, the main family bathroom with a bath, shower, vanity and toilet, is costed by the wet-area rebuild at its core: the waterproofing membrane, the tiling of the floor and walls, the plumbing, and the fixtures, with the biggest swing being whether the layout stays put or the bath, shower and vanity are relocated. Keeping the fittings where they are is far cheaper than moving them, because relocating a fixture means new plumbing runs, so the layout decision leads the figure ahead of the finishes.
The waterproofing is the critical, licensed element, as the membrane must be laid to the Australian standard under the tiles, and in an upstairs or strata Sydney apartment a leak into the room or unit below makes it non-negotiable. A main bathroom is larger than an ensuite, so there is more tiling and often a separate bath and shower, which lifts both materials and labour. Fixtures and finishes swing the figure widely, from a budget suite to floor-to-ceiling tiles, a stone vanity and a frameless screen. The city's highest trade rates lift the labour, and a period terrace may need the old floor and walls made good before the new work.
A bathroom renovation is licensed work: the waterproofing by a licensed waterproofer or tiler, the water and drainage by a licensed plumber, and any lighting, fan or heated rail by a licensed electrician, in New South Wales under NSW Fair Trading. For a Sydney home, the clearest way to price a full bathroom renovation is by the waterproofing and tiling, the plumbing, and whether the layout moves, with the fixtures the swing on top.
