Bathroom Renovations

Bathroom Renovations Across Sydney, Managed From Start to Finish

A bathroom is one of the most technical rooms in the house to renovate. In a small footprint you have plumbing, drainage, waterproofing, electrical, ventilation, tiling and joinery, and every trade has to happen in the right order. Hawk Services manages the whole process for you, so you deal with one licensed contractor instead of coordinating five or six separate trades.

What Our Bathroom Renovations Include

• Design and layout planning – working out where the shower, vanity, toilet and storage should go to make the most of the space.
• Strip-out and demolition – safe removal of old tiles, fixtures and linings, with rubbish removed from site.
• Plumbing and drainage – new pipework, relocated wastes and fixture rough-ins by licensed plumbers.
• Waterproofing – membranes applied to Australian Standard AS 3740 by licensed waterproofers, with a certificate issued on completion.
• Tiling – floor and wall tiling, niches, feature walls and correct falls to the waste.
• Fixtures and fit-off – vanities, shower screens, rainfall showers, freestanding or built-in baths, toilets, tapware, mirrors and accessories.
• Lighting and ventilation – LED lighting, heated towel rails and exhaust fans that move moisture out of the room to help prevent mould.

Types of Bathroom Projects We Handle

We renovate main bathrooms, ensuites, powder rooms and laundries, from a straightforward update of tiles and fixtures through to a full bathroom renovation where the room is taken back to the frame. If you are working with a tight space, our guide to small bathroom makeover ideas covers layouts and finishes that make a compact room feel larger.

Our Bathroom Renovation Process

1. Site visit and quote – we inspect the existing bathroom, discuss your ideas and budget, and provide an itemised quote.
2. Selections – we help you choose tiles, tapware, vanities and fixtures so everything is ordered before work begins.
3. Construction – strip-out, plumbing, waterproofing, tiling and fit-off, completed in the correct sequence with curing times respected.
4. Handover – a final walk-through, clean-up and the compliance paperwork for your records.

Most bathrooms take a few weeks once work starts, depending on size and the amount of plumbing being moved. Our article on how long a bathroom renovation takes explains each stage in more detail.

Bathroom Renovation FAQs

Do I need a licensed builder for a bathroom renovation in NSW?
Yes. In NSW, residential building work valued over $5,000 (labour and materials) must be done by a licensed contractor, and plumbing and waterproofing must be done by appropriately licensed tradespeople. For work over $20,000, Home Building Compensation (HBC) insurance is also required.

What waterproofing is required?
Wet areas must be waterproofed to the National Construction Code and AS 3740. Our guide to bathroom waterproofing requirements in NSW explains what is needed in showers, floors and walls.

Can I keep using the rest of my home during the renovation?
Yes. We protect floors and access paths, keep dust to a minimum and clean up at the end of each day. If it is your only bathroom, we can talk through options to keep the downtime as short as possible.
