Renovating Bathrooms Across NSW and Tasmania

A bathroom renovation can be a small update or a complete rebuild. The right approach depends on the condition of the existing bathroom, how the space is used, the layout you want and the work required behind the walls.

Younique Building provides bathroom renovation services across selected areas of New South Wales and Tasmania. We work on complete bathroom renovations, ensuite renovations, small bathrooms, bathroom upgrades and investment property renovations.

Before recommending changes, we look at the existing space and the work involved. This includes the layout, plumbing, electrical requirements, waterproofing, ventilation, storage, fixtures and finishes. This helps keep the renovation practical and suited to the property.

Bathroom Renovation Projects

No two bathrooms are exactly the same. The size of the room, existing layout, plumbing and the way the space is used can all affect the renovation.

Looking at completed bathroom projects can give you practical ideas for your own renovation, including:

  • Different bathroom layouts
  • Vanity and storage ideas
  • Shower and screen options
  • Tile and finish combinations
  • Lighting and ventilation
  • Ways to make better use of a small bathroom
  • Ideas for updating an older bathroom

What works in one bathroom may not work in another. The right approach depends on the space you have, the condition of the existing bathroom and the changes you want to make.

Take a look at our completed projects for ideas, then talk to our team about what could work in your bathroom.

Our Bathroom Renovation Services

Every bathroom is different, so the work required will depend on the existing room and what you want to change. Our bathroom renovation services can include demolition, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, cabinetry, fixtures, lighting and finishing work.

Complete Bathroom Renovations

A complete renovation involves removing the existing bathroom and rebuilding the space around a new design or improved version of the existing layout.

Depending on the project, the work can include:

Removing existing fixtures and finishes Demolition and site preparation
Plumbing Electrical work
Waterproofing Wall and floor preparation
Wall and floor tiling Vanity and cabinetry
Shower and shower screen Bath
Toilet Tapware
Mirrors Lighting
Bathroom accessories Final installation and finishing

If the existing layout works well, it may make sense to keep the main plumbing positions. If the layout is causing problems, we can assess what would be involved in changing it.

Ensuite Renovations

An ensuite usually has less floor space than a main bathroom, so the layout needs to be considered carefully.

The position and size of the shower, vanity and toilet can affect how easily you move around the room. Storage and lighting also need to work within the available space.

We can renovate existing ensuites and update the fixtures, finishes, storage, lighting, waterproofing and other elements included in the project.

Small Bathroom Renovations

A small bathroom does not need to feel difficult to use. Good planning can make better use of the floor area without adding unnecessary features.

Depending on the room, we can look at:

  • Compact vanities
  • Wall-mounted storage
  • Shower layouts
  • Shower screens
  • Recessed niches
  • Mirror placement
  • Lighting
  • Tile layout
  • Fixture positioning
  • Available door and access space

The existing plumbing and room dimensions will influence which options are practical.

Bathroom Upgrades

You may not need to completely rebuild the bathroom.

If the existing layout and major services are suitable, selected changes can update the room without replacing everything. Depending on the project, this could include a new vanity, shower, toilet, tapware, mirror, lighting, tiles or other fixtures.

We can discuss the condition of your existing bathroom and help determine whether an upgrade or a more extensive renovation is appropriate.

Family Bathroom Renovations

A family bathroom needs to handle regular use. Storage, easy-to-clean surfaces, practical fixtures and enough space around the main bathroom areas can make a difference to how the room works day to day.

The layout can be planned around the people using the bathroom, whether that means allowing space for a bath, providing more vanity storage or improving the shower area.

Investment Property Bathroom Renovations

A bathroom in a rental property usually needs to be practical, easy to maintain and appropriate for the property.

Our Investor Bathroom Package provides an option for customers looking for a more controlled approach to an investment bathroom renovation.

If you are renovating a rental property, we can discuss the existing condition of the bathroom, the work required and the level of finish that makes sense for the property.

Our Bathroom Renovation Process

Every bathroom renovation is different, but the work generally follows a series of stages. The exact process depends on the existing bathroom, layout, products selected and agreed scope of work.

1. Talk About Your Bathroom We discuss what you want to change, the problems with the existing bathroom, how you use the space, your preferred layout and finishes, and the type of renovation you are considering.
2. Assess the Existing Space The existing layout and site conditions are considered, including plumbing, electrical services, ventilation, access, surfaces and other factors that may affect the renovation.
3. Plan the Layout If the existing layout works for you, the main fixture positions may be retained. If you want to move the shower, toilet, vanity or bath, the required plumbing, drainage and electrical work is considered.
4. Select Fixtures and Finishes Fixtures and finishes are selected to suit the project and chosen package. These may include tiles, vanity, shower, bath, tapware, toilet, shower screen, mirrors, lighting and accessories.
5. Prepare the Bathroom The existing bathroom is prepared for the renovation. This may involve demolition and removal of existing fixtures, tiles, cabinetry and other finishes included in the agreed scope.
6. Complete Plumbing and Electrical Work The required plumbing and electrical work is carried out before the final finishes and fixtures are installed. Licensed trades are used where required.
7. Waterproof and Tile Relevant wet areas are prepared and waterproofed as required for the project. Once the appropriate stages are complete, tiling and other finishing work can proceed.
8. Install Fixtures The selected vanity, toilet, shower, bath, tapware, shower screen, lighting and other bathroom fixtures are installed.
9. Final Checks and Handover The completed bathroom is checked, any remaining finishing work is completed, and the space is prepared for handover.

Bathroom Waterproofing and Wet Areas

Waterproofing should be planned from the beginning of a bathroom renovation.

The areas exposed to water need appropriate preparation and waterproofing before the final surfaces are installed.

The exact requirements depend on the property, bathroom layout and proposed work. We consider these requirements as part of the renovation planning process.

Bathroom work may also involve plumbing, electrical and other regulated trades. Where licensed work is required, it should be carried out by appropriately licensed professionals.

The project should also be planned around the applicable Australian Standards, building requirements and local regulations for the property.

Choosing Bathroom Fixtures and Finishes

The right products depend on the size of the bathroom, your budget and how the room will be used.

Fixture / Finish What to Consider
Vanity and Storage Think about what you need to store every day and how much wall space is available. A larger vanity can provide more storage, but it can also reduce open floor space in a small bathroom.
Shower Consider the shower size, entry, screen, fittings and available space. In a smaller bathroom, the shower position can affect movement around the entire room.
Bath If you use a bath regularly, the size and position need to be considered during the layout stage. A bath may not be practical in every small bathroom, particularly where the available floor area is limited.
Tiles Consider the tile size, surface, cleaning requirements, slip resistance and how the tile will work with the other bathroom finishes.
Tapware Tapware should suit the basin, shower or bath and work with the selected fixtures.
Lighting Bathroom lighting needs to provide enough light for everyday tasks. Vanity areas, mirrors and general room lighting should all be considered.
Ventilation Bathrooms produce moisture every day. Suitable ventilation helps manage humidity and condensation and should be considered as part of the bathroom design.

What’s Included in a Bathroom Renovation?

The exact scope depends on the property, existing bathroom and renovation plans. A bathroom renovation can involve several trades and different stages of construction.

Renovation Work What’s Involved
Demolition and Preparation Removing existing tiles, fixtures, cabinetry and other materials included in the renovation. The room is then prepared and existing surfaces and services can be assessed before new work begins.
Plumbing Plumbing work may be needed when replacing bathroom fixtures or changing the layout. This can include showers, baths, basins, toilets and other fixtures, depending on the existing plumbing and new design.
Electrical Work Electrical work can include lighting, exhaust fans, switches, power points and other electrical components. Licensed electrical work should be completed by an appropriately licensed professional.
Waterproofing Preparing and waterproofing the relevant wet areas before finishing work begins. The requirements depend on the bathroom layout and the type of renovation being carried out.
Tiling Installing floor and wall tiles selected to suit the room, its use and the overall design. Tile choice should also consider cleaning, durability and appropriate slip resistance for bathroom floors.
Fixtures and Fittings Installing items such as the vanity, basin, toilet, shower, bath, shower screen, tapware, mirror and bathroom accessories. Products should suit the available space and the way the bathroom will be used.

Bathroom Renovation Cost

There is no single price that applies to every bathroom renovation.

The final cost can depend on the size and condition of the room, the amount of demolition required, changes to the layout, plumbing and electrical work, waterproofing, tiles, cabinetry, fixtures and selected finishes.

Other factors can include:

  • Existing plumbing condition
  • Electrical requirements
  • Bathroom layout
  • Structural work
  • Tile selection
  • Vanity and storage
  • Shower screen
  • Bath
  • Tapware
  • Lighting
  • Ventilation
  • Product selections
  • Site conditions

Keeping the existing layout may reduce the amount of plumbing work compared with moving several fixtures. Product selections can also change the overall cost of the renovation.

Our bathroom packages give you different options to compare before deciding which approach suits your project.

For an accurate project price, the bathroom and proposed scope need to be assessed rather than relying on a general price per square metre.

How Long Does a Bathroom Renovation Take?

The timeframe depends on the size and complexity of the project.

A straightforward renovation may involve fewer changes than a bathroom where the layout, plumbing, electrical work and finishes are being completely changed.

The renovation can involve several stages, including:

  1. Consultation and planning
  2. Site assessment
  3. Product and finish selection
  4. Demolition and preparation
  5. Plumbing and electrical work
  6. Waterproofing
  7. Tiling
  8. Cabinetry and fixture installation
  9. Final finishing and checks

Product availability, the condition of the existing bathroom and any unexpected site issues can also affect the timeframe.

A project-specific timeframe can be discussed once the scope is established.

Renovating an Older Bathroom

Older bathrooms can have issues that are not visible until the existing tiles, fixtures or finishes are removed.

Depending on the property, the renovation may uncover:

  • Old plumbing
  • Damaged surfaces
  • Previous waterproofing problems
  • Uneven floors
  • Moisture damage
  • Outdated electrical work
  • Poor ventilation
  • Previous renovation work

This does not mean every older bathroom will have these problems. The actual condition needs to be assessed when the bathroom is opened up.

If additional work is required outside the original scope, it should be discussed before that work proceeds.
