Epping has changed shape over the past decade, and its bathrooms run the full range. The established streets toward the eastern side are full of solid brick homes from the mid-century and California bungalows on good blocks, many with original bathrooms that are tidy but well overdue: a single window, dated tiling, and a layout that hasn't moved in decades. Around the station the picture is different, with a wall of newer apartment towers where we handle ensuites and main bathrooms within strata, making sure the waterproofing protects the unit below. Between the two there are 1990s and 2000s two-storey homes with upstairs bathrooms that need careful waterproofing and drainage. We've been renovating bathrooms across the Northern District 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 and no gaps in the schedule. 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 Liverpool and working right across Epping. From the first measure to handover you deal with the same people, whether it's an older brick home or a tower unit near the station.
We come to your Epping home or apartment, measure the room, check the plumbing and drainage, and talk through what you want. Then we give you a fixed-price quote that lists every fixture, tile and trade. No vague allowances, and the price holds unless you change the scope.
Once you approve the quote, we lock in the layout and finishes so nothing changes mid-job. We strip the old bathroom back, sort framing and floor falls, then waterproof to AS 3740. For upstairs bathrooms we're especially careful with the membrane and falls, and let it cure fully before tiling.
Plumbing rough-in, electrical and tiling run in the right order because one team controls the lot. No idle days waiting on a subbie. In the apartment towers we work to strata access hours, protect common areas and keep the site clean throughout the job.
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 Epping 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, generally runs $25,000 to $45,000 depending on room size and fixtures. The older brick homes on the eastern side sometimes need extra work once the original suite comes out, while apartment jobs near the station can carry strata access costs. We give you a fixed-price quote up front that itemises every fixture and trade, so you know the number before we start and it won't move unless the scope changes.
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 fully before tiling, and for an upstairs bathroom we're especially careful there, so we don't rush it. Because one team runs the whole job, the trades follow each other with no dead days. In the apartment towers near the station, strata access hours can stretch the timeline slightly, and we factor that in. You get a realistic schedule with your quote and updates as the job moves along.
Yes. Waterproofing is where most bathroom problems start, and in a two-storey Epping home an upstairs leak ends up in the ceiling below, so we treat it as the critical stage. We waterproof to the NSW standard AS 3740, apply the membrane correctly across floors, walls and the shower area, get the drainage falls right, and let it cure fully before tiling. You get a waterproofing certificate at handover. For freestanding homes, internal bathroom renovations generally don't need council approval, but if your job involves moving walls we'll tell you what's required. For apartments we work within your strata by-laws and sort the paperwork the owners corporation needs.
We're a family-run business that's been renovating bathrooms across the Northern District for 12 years, and we're a licensed NSW contractor, number 383725C. The key advantage is one team handles 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 turn up in order. We quote a fixed price, hold it, and finish most bathrooms in around three weeks. Whether it's an older brick home, an upstairs bathroom or a unit near the station, we plan the waterproofing and sequencing accordingly. You deal with the same people from the first measure to the final handover.
