Bathroom renovations in Wahroonga.
Three in four Wahroonga dwellings are freestanding houses, most of them large, established, and built long before anyone thought about a walk-in shower. We rebuild those bathrooms properly — and we do the units around the station too.

Houses — 74.5% of Wahroonga
What we usually find behind the wall.
The bathrooms we are asked to replace in Wahroonga are frequently the originals. That means the scope is rarely cosmetic — there is usually waterproofing, and sometimes framing, to put right before anything decorative goes on.
Older homes, older waterproofing
Bathrooms in established Wahroonga homes are often on their original membrane. We strip back and re-waterproof rather than tile over a problem.
Ku-ring-gai Council area
Most internal bathroom work is exempt development, but we tell you up front if anything you want needs an application.
Room to do it properly
With more than half of homes here at four bedrooms or more, footprints usually allow separated wet and dry zones, double vanities and full-height tiling.

And the apartments near the station.
The 2021 Census counted 1,135 flats and apartments in Wahroonga, most of them within walking distance of the station. Strata bathrooms are a smaller part of the suburb, but they run to a different process and we take them on the same terms.
Scope document for the committee
A one-line quote rarely gets approved. We write the scope so the owners corporation can assess it properly the first time.
Common property boundaries
Membranes, slab penetrations and often the stack are common property. That gets settled in writing before demolition.
Certified waterproofing
Certification on completion, every time. In a unit a failed membrane is the neighbour's ceiling, not just your floor.
Credentials
Licensed, local and reviewed.

Wahroonga questions
What people here ask us.
Do I need council approval for a bathroom renovation in Wahroonga?
Internal bathroom work that does not alter the structure is generally exempt development in NSW, so no application is usually required. If your plans involve moving external walls, changing the roofline or altering a heritage-listed property, that changes and we will tell you at the quoting stage. Wahroonga sits within the Ku-ring-gai Council area.
Our bathroom is original to the house. Is that a problem?
It is common here and it is not a problem, but it does change the scope. Original bathrooms usually have no functioning waterproof membrane, and sometimes have water damage in the framing or subfloor. We allow for inspection once the room is stripped, and price any rectification as a variation you approve before it proceeds.
Can you match the style of an older home?
Yes. Traditional detailing — subway tiling, timber-look vanities, tapware in aged brass or chrome — sits comfortably in an established home. Bring photos of the rest of the house to the showroom and we will put a scheme together that suits it.
We're in a unit, not a house. Do you take strata work in Wahroonga?
Yes. Roughly one in five Wahroonga dwellings is a flat or apartment. The difference is the approval step: we provide a written scope for your owners corporation, confirm what is lot property and what is common property, and work to the building's access hours and noise rules.
How long will we be without the bathroom?
Most bathroom renovations take three to five weeks on site. If it is the only bathroom in the house, tell us early and we will sequence the work to reduce the days it is unusable.

Got my old bathrooms renovated, and I must say — no one else could've done the job with such great quality at such an affordable price. They were on time and stuck to the plan.
