Renovation FAQs Sydney | Common Renovation Questions

Q: What warranty do you provide for bathroom renovations?

Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations offers industry-leading warranties on all bathroom renovations: a 10-year waterproofing warranty and a 7-year workmanship guarantee. This significantly exceeds the minimum 6-year statutory warranty required by NSW Fair Trading and reflects our confidence in our quality standards. Our warranty covers defects in workmanship, waterproofing integrity, and installation issues. It does not cover damage from improper use, normal wear and tear, or problems arising from owner modifications. All fixtures, fittings, and materials also carry their respective manufacturers' warranties, which we document and provide to you at project completion. Our warranty is fully transferable to new owners if you sell your property within the warranty period. As a licensed bathroom renovation specialist (NSW Contractor Licence #341562c), we maintain detailed records of all warranties and respond promptly to any warranty-related concerns, ensuring your investment is protected for years to come.

Question 1

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Bathroom renovation costs in Sydney typically range from $15,000 to $35,000 for a complete renovation, depending on size, quality of materials, and complexity. Budget-conscious renovations using quality standard fixtures and minimal layout changes generally cost $15,000-$20,000. Mid-range renovations with better fixtures and some custom elements range from $20,000-$28,000. More comprehensive renovations featuring high-quality fixtures, customisation options, and superior finishes typically range from $28,000-$35,000. Additional factors affecting cost include structural modifications, relocating plumbing or electrical services, accessibility requirements, and whether asbestos removal is necessary. At Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations, we work with you to find the right balance of quality and value for your budget. Contact us for a free, no-obligation design consultation tailored to your specific bathroom requirements.

Question 2

How long does a bathroom renovation take to complete?

Accepted Answer

A full bathroom renovation in Sydney typically takes 3-6 weeks to complete. The timeline includes demolition (2-3 days), plumbing and electrical rough-in (3-5 days), waterproofing and curing time (3-4 days), tiling (4-7 days), fixture installation (2-3 days), and finishing touches like painting and accessories (2-3 days). This timeline can vary based on bathroom size, design complexity, material availability, and whether unexpected issues are discovered during demolition. More detailed bathroom renovations may take longer due to the installation of custom elements and special finishes that require additional craftsmanship. Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations provides a detailed timeline at the beginning of each project and keeps clients informed of progress throughout the renovation process. We understand that having your bathroom out of commission is disruptive, so we work efficiently while never compromising on quality.

Question 3

Do you handle all aspects of bathroom renovations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations provides end-to-end bathroom renovation solutions, managing all aspects of your project from initial design to final handover. Our comprehensive service includes initial consultation and design, council approvals if required, demolition and strip-out, structural modifications, plumbing and electrical work (by licensed professionals), waterproofing, tiling, cabinetry and vanity installation, fixture and fitting installation, lighting, ventilation, painting, and final finishing touches. We coordinate all trades and suppliers, maintain project schedules, and handle quality control throughout. This full-service approach ensures a cohesive renovation process with a single point of contact, minimising stress and ensuring all elements work together harmoniously for a stunning finished result that exceeds your expectations.

Question 4

What bathroom renovation trends are popular in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Popular bathroom renovation trends in Sydney in 2025-2026 include: Large-format tiles that minimise grout lines for a cleaner, more polished appearance; walk-in showers with frameless glass and linear drains; statement vanities with stylish basins and stone benchtops; smart bathroom technology including digital shower controls, sensor taps, and heated floors; freestanding bathtubs as elegant focal points; matte black or brushed brass fixtures and hardware; feature wall tiles with texture or three-dimensional patterns; terrazzo-inspired surfaces; integrated LED lighting and backlit mirrors; natural elements including timber accents and indoor plants; space-saving solutions for smaller bathrooms; improved ventilation systems; custom niches and intelligent storage solutions; and accessibility considerations that blend seamlessly with contemporary design. At Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations, our designers can help you incorporate these trends in a way that suits your style preferences while ensuring your bathroom remains timeless and adds lasting value to your home.

Question 5

Do I need council approval for my bathroom renovation?

Accepted Answer

Whether your bathroom renovation requires council approval depends on the scope of work. In Sydney, many bathroom renovations are classified as 'exempt development' if they're internal, non-structural alterations that don't change the building's footprint or affect waterproofing. However, approval may be needed if your renovation involves: structural modifications; changes to the bathroom's footprint; alterations to plumbing that affect sewer or drainage systems; modifications in heritage-listed properties; substantial changes to ventilation systems; or work valued above a certain threshold (which varies by council). Minor renovations like replacing fixtures in the same location, retiling, or updating cabinetry typically don't require approval. Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations will assess your specific project requirements during the initial design consultation and assist with all necessary approval processes if needed, ensuring your renovation proceeds smoothly and complies with all regulations.

Question 6

What warranty do you provide for bathroom renovations?

Accepted Answer

Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations delivers quality bathroom transformation solutions throughout Sydney. With over 20 years of experience since 2005, we specialise in all aspects of bathroom renovations—from initial design consultation and demolition to AS 3740 certified waterproofing, installation, and final finishing touches.

Whether you're updating a small ensuite, creating a family bathroom, or designing a luxurious master bathroom, our end-to-end service ensures exceptional results backed by comprehensive warranties. We also offer expert kitchen renovations and laundry renovations across Sydney.

Question 7

Are you a licensed bathroom renovator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations holds NSW Contractor Licence #341562c with specialist qualifications including Kitchen Bathroom Laundry Renovator and Wall & Floor Tiler classifications. Our licence allows us to legally complete all aspects of bathroom renovations in NSW, and we're fully insured with $20M public liability coverage. We also work with licensed plumbers and electricians for all trade work requiring specific licences. You can verify our licence on the NSW Fair Trading website. Choosing a licensed contractor ensures your renovation meets all Australian standards, particularly AS 3740 for waterproofing in wet areas, protecting your investment and giving you peace of mind.

Question 8

Can you help with bathroom design ideas?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. During our free in-home consultation, we assess your space, discuss your preferences, and provide design guidance tailored to your needs and budget. We offer practical layout advice, material and colour selection, and fixture recommendations based on 20+ years of bathroom renovation experience. While we provide general design ideas and 2D layout plans, we don't offer 3D renders or CAD drawings. Our focus is on practical, achievable designs that balance aesthetics with functionality. We can recommend complementary colours, tile patterns, vanity styles, and tapware finishes that work together cohesively. Many clients bring inspiration images from magazines or Pinterest, and we help translate these ideas into a realistic design for their specific bathroom.
