Leaking Shower Repairs Sydney (Licensed & qualified bathroom, tiling and waterproofing team)
A bathroom makeover is the fastest way to turn an outdated, hard-to-clean bathroom into something you actually enjoy using — without guessing what’s behind the walls. Our bathroom makeover services cover planning, removal, installation, waterproofing and finishing, so you get a clean result that feels new and functions properly.
Not for you if… you’re looking for a “cashie quick patch” to hide a leak, or you want a quote without anyone visiting the bathroom first.

A proper bathroom makeover isn’t just about nicer fixtures — it’s about making the room work better day-to-day. We start by understanding what you want to change (look, storage, cleaning, comfort) and what you need to change (leaks, drainage, tired waterproofing, damaged tiles).
Depending on your bathroom and goals, your bathroom makeover services may include:
If you’re deciding between a “makeover” and a full renovation, here’s the practical difference: a makeover usually focuses on upgrading what’s visible and improving function, while a renovation may involve bigger layout changes and more structural work. Either way, we’ll talk you through what makes sense once we see the space.
To see related work we can include as part of your build (like finishing details), take a look at Grouting and finishes.
A bathroom makeover Sydney homeowners choose is typically a good fit when:
It may not be the right approach if you’re planning major layout changes (moving plumbing locations, changing structural walls) and haven’t allowed for the extra scope that can come with that. We’ll still help — but we’ll be upfront about what’s involved so you can budget and plan properly.
Most people start looking for bathroom renovations Sydney-wide because something is annoying every day — or because a small issue has turned into a bigger one.
Here are common pain points we see, and what a well-scoped bathroom makeover Sydney project can deliver:
If the real driver is a leak (not just aesthetics), it can be worth addressing that first so the makeover doesn’t get compromised. If that’s you, start with Leaking bathroom repairs and we’ll map out the smartest next step.
Every home is different, so we keep the process consistent while tailoring the scope to your bathroom and budget. This is how our bathroom makeover services typically run:
We inspect the bathroom, talk through your priorities, and flag any moisture risks (especially around showers, floors and penetrations). This is the step that makes the fixed quote meaningful.
We confirm what stays, what goes, and what’s being replaced. You’ll get clarity on fixtures/finishes and any lead times that could affect scheduling.
We protect access areas, isolate where needed, and remove what’s coming out. If we find underlying issues (like water damage), we’ll explain options before proceeding.
Wet-area waterproofing must meet the relevant requirements for bathrooms, so this stage is treated as non-negotiable in any wet-area rebuild. For more detail on what we do here, see Wet-area waterproofing.
We install the selected fixtures and complete wall/floor finishes. If tiling is part of your makeover, you can see what’s involved on Bathroom tiling.
Final fit-off, sealing, clean-up, and a walkthrough so you know what’s been done and what to maintain.
Timeline note (no surprises): Many bathroom projects in Australia fall in the “a few weeks” range depending on scope and drying times, but we’ll confirm realistic timing after the site visit rather than guessing from photos.
We deliver bathroom makeover Sydney projects across Sydney (Sydney-wide), including Sydney CBD, Inner West, and Northern Beaches.
After-hours bookings are available in some cases — let us know what you’re dealing with and we’ll confirm availability.
If you’re talking to a few bathroom renovation companies Sydney homeowners often compare, use this quick checklist so you’re comparing like-for-like (not just the cheapest number on a page):
Is the scope written down clearly?
Fixtures, waterproofing, tiling, disposal, and finishing should be unambiguous.
Do they explain what happens if hidden damage is found?
A good provider has a clear variation process — not vague promises.
Are waterproofing steps specified for wet areas?
Bathrooms are high-risk if corners are cut. The NCC includes specific wet-area waterproofing provisions.
Can you verify licensing?
In NSW, you can check a contractor’s details via Service NSW / Fair Trading tools.

Bathroom makeover costs vary mainly by scope, fixtures, and how much is being replaced, so the only accurate way is an on-site check. Some “makeover” projects are cosmetic, while others become partial renovations once underlying issues are discovered, which changes the budget. We provide a fixed quote on-site so you can decide with confidence.
A bathroom makeover can range from a fast refresh to a multi-week project depending on demolition, waterproofing, and curing times. The safest approach is to plan for a realistic trade schedule rather than an aggressive deadline, especially where waterproofing and tiling are involved. We’ll confirm timing after we inspect the bathroom.
Yes — and many people prefer it because it keeps costs and complexity down. If your existing layout works, you can still upgrade the vanity, shower fittings, finishes, lighting and storage for a big visual improvement. During the site visit we’ll confirm what’s practical for your plumbing and space.
Yes — where required, we can manage demolition and removal as part of the end-to-end bathroom makeover services so you’re not coordinating multiple people. We’ll confirm what’s being removed and how we’ll protect access areas during the quote visit.
If we uncover water damage or other hidden issues, we’ll explain what we found, what it affects, and the options to fix it properly before proceeding. Hidden damage is one reason fixed pricing should be based on an inspection rather than photos alone.
If your makeover involves rebuilding wet-area surfaces (especially around showers), waterproofing becomes part of doing the job correctly. Wet-area waterproofing requirements are set out in the NCC, and the right approach depends on your bathroom construction and scope.
Yes — strata and apartment bathrooms are common, and they benefit from clear scheduling and tidy site management. If approvals or access restrictions apply in your building, tell us early so we can plan around them.
Yes, we can cater for after-hours in some situations. Availability depends on location and the type of work required, so we’ll confirm options when you get in touch.
You should always verify licensing for peace of mind. NSW provides tools to check a builder or tradesperson licence details via Service NSW / Fair Trading pathways.
You can speed things up by clearing personal items, noting any existing issues (leaks, stains, loose tiles), and deciding what matters most (storage, easy-clean finishes, a more modern look). If you’ve already chosen fixtures, have the product details ready so we can confirm fit and lead times.
A bathroom makeover Sydney homeowners feel good about comes down to doing the basics right and not glossing over wet-area risk.
