Baulkham Hills is one of the older, established parts of the Hills, with a real mix of housing. There are the 1970s and 80s brick homes on the larger blocks, full-brick solid places with bathrooms that have the original coloured tiles and cast-iron baths. Then there are the newer infill homes and townhouses squeezed in over the last couple of decades. The older homes are where we spend most of our time: their bathrooms are sound but well dated, often with a separate toilet that makes no sense anymore and a bath taking up space nobody uses. Reworking that footprint into a proper modern bathroom is the common job here. We have been renovating bathrooms across the Hills District for 12 years and we run one team that handles the lot: demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, electrical and the fit-off. You are not chasing five separate contractors and trying to line up their calendars. We give you a fixed-price quote before we start, hold the price, and most bathrooms are finished on site in around three weeks. Licensed in NSW, contractor number 383725C, based in Liverpool and working right across Baulkham Hills. From the first measure to handover you deal with the same people, whether it is an original 70s brick home or a newer townhouse.
We come to your Baulkham Hills home, measure the room, check the existing plumbing and drainage, and talk through what you want. Then we put together a fixed-price quote that lists every fixture, tile and trade. No vague allowances, no surprises halfway through.
Once you approve the quote, we lock in the layout, finishes and fixtures so nothing changes mid-job. Combining an old separate toilet into the main room is common here, so we plan that carefully. We strip the old bathroom back, sort the framing and falls, then waterproof to AS 3740 standards and let it cure properly before a single tile goes down.
Plumbing rough-in, electrical, then tiling all run in the right order so each trade is not tripping over the last. Because it is one team, the sequencing is tight and the site stays clean. In the older full-brick homes we plan for what we find behind the original tiles.
We fit the vanity, toilet, tapware, screen and accessories, test everything, and clean up. You get a walk-through at the end, your compliance paperwork including the waterproofing certificate, and a finished bathroom you can use straight away.
Most Baulkham Hills bathrooms land between $15,000 and $45,000. A cosmetic refresh, where we keep the layout and update tiles, vanity and tapware, starts from around $8,000. A full gut, where we strip back to the frame, move plumbing and re-do everything, usually runs $25,000 to $45,000 depending on the size of the room and the fixtures you choose. Combining a separate toilet into the main bathroom, common in the older homes here, involves moving plumbing and sits at the higher end. We give you a fixed-price quote up front that itemises every fixture and trade, so you know the number before we lift a tool and it does not move unless you change the scope.
Most bathrooms are finished on site in around three weeks. That covers demolition, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing and its cure time, tiling, then the fit-off of fixtures and the final clean. Waterproofing needs to dry properly before tiling, so we do not rush that stage, but because we run one team the trades follow each other tightly with no dead days waiting on a subcontractor to turn up. Reworking the footprint of an older Baulkham Hills bathroom, such as removing a wall to a separate toilet, is still comfortably within the three-week window. We give you a realistic schedule with your quote and keep you posted as we go.
Yes. Waterproofing is the part most bathroom problems trace back to, so we treat it carefully. We waterproof to the NSW standard AS 3740, apply the membrane correctly to floors, walls and the shower area, and let it cure fully before tiling. You get a waterproofing certificate at handover. For the freestanding Baulkham Hills homes most bathroom renovations do not need council approval as they are internal work, but if your job involves moving walls or extending we will tell you what is required. In the older brick homes the original waterproofing has usually failed, so redoing it correctly is a key part of the job.
We are a family-run business that has been renovating bathrooms across the Hills District for 12 years, and we are a licensed NSW contractor, number 383725C. The big difference is that one team does everything, from demolition through to the final silicone, so you are not coordinating a plumber, a tiler, an electrician and a waterproofer yourself and hoping they show up in order. We quote a fixed price, hold it, and finish most jobs in around three weeks. We are based in Liverpool and travel right across Baulkham Hills, and we know the older full-brick homes and how to modernise their dated bathrooms. You deal with the same people start to finish.
