Bankstown is solid brick territory, and the bathrooms in its homes have a lot in common. The streets around the centre and out toward Yagoona and Greenacre are filled with full-brick and double-brick homes from the post-war and 1960s decades, built to last, and many still have their original bathrooms: compact rooms, coloured suites, and pipework that's done its time. Closer to the station there's a growing cluster of apartment blocks where we handle ensuites and main bathrooms, working within strata and protecting the unit below. These older brick homes are well built, but that also means working into solid walls, so we plan the plumbing routes carefully once the room comes out. We've been renovating bathrooms across South West Sydney for 12 years, and we run one team that handles demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, electrical, tiling and the fit-off, so there's no chasing five separate contractors. We give you a fixed-price quote before we start, hold the price, and finish most bathrooms on site in around three weeks. We're a licensed NSW contractor, number 383725C, based in nearby Liverpool, so Bankstown is a short run for us and part of our regular patch. Whatever the home, you get the same straight answers and the same crew from start to finish.
We come to your Bankstown home, measure the room, check the existing plumbing and drainage, and talk through what you want. Then we give you a fixed-price quote that itemises every fixture, tile and trade. The number you see is the number you pay unless you change the scope.
Once you approve the quote, we lock in the layout and finishes so nothing changes mid-build. We strip the old bathroom out, work out the plumbing routes through the solid brick, sort the floor falls, then waterproof to AS 3740 and let the membrane cure fully before tiling.
Plumbing rough-in, electrical and tiling run in the right order because one crew controls the lot. No dead days waiting on a subbie. The site stays clean and the bathroom gets back into service as quickly as the job allows, which matters in a busy family home.
We fit the vanity, toilet, tapware, screen and accessories, test everything works, and clean up. You get a final walk-through, your waterproofing certificate and compliance paperwork, and a bathroom ready to use the day we finish.
Most Bankstown bathrooms land between $15,000 and $45,000. A cosmetic refresh, keeping the layout and updating tiles, vanity and tapware, starts from around $8,000. A full gut, where we strip back to the frame, move plumbing and rebuild from scratch, generally runs $25,000 to $45,000 depending on room size and fixtures. The older full-brick homes around Yagoona and Greenacre can need a bit more once we route plumbing through solid walls, so we plan for that up front. We give you a fixed-price quote that itemises every fixture and trade, so you know exactly what it costs before we begin and it won't move unless you change the scope.
Most bathrooms are finished on site in around three weeks. That covers strip-out, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing and its cure time, tiling, then the fit-off and final clean. The waterproofing membrane has to dry properly before tiling, so we never cut that short, but because one team runs the whole job the trades follow each other with no idle days. If it's the only bathroom in the house, we'll talk through timing so the family isn't left without one. Being based nearby in Liverpool means getting to your place is quick. You get a realistic schedule with your quote and updates as the work goes.
Yes. Waterproofing is where most bathroom problems begin, so we treat it as the critical stage. We waterproof to the NSW standard AS 3740, apply the membrane properly across floors, walls and the shower zone, and let it cure fully before any tile goes down. You get a waterproofing certificate at handover. For the freestanding brick homes that make up most of Bankstown, internal bathroom renovations generally don't need council approval, but if your job involves moving walls or structural changes we'll tell you exactly what's needed and handle the paperwork. For apartments near the station we work within your strata by-laws.
We're a family-run business that's been renovating bathrooms across South West Sydney for 12 years, and we're a licensed NSW contractor, number 383725C. The key thing is one team does the whole job, from demolition through to the final silicone, so you're not coordinating a plumber, a tiler, an electrician and a waterproofer and hoping they show up in the right order. We quote a fixed price, hold it, and finish most bathrooms in around three weeks. We're based just up the road in Liverpool, so Bankstown is an easy run for us, which makes booking in, getting to site and following up afterwards simple. You deal with the same people start to finish.
