Q: What warranty do you provide for laundry renovations?

Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations offers a comprehensive 7-year warranty on all laundry renovations, covering workmanship, waterproofing, and cabinetry. This 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, installation issues, and custom joinery. 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 laundry renovation specialist (NSW Contractor Licence #341562c), we maintain detailed records of all warranties and respond promptly to any warranty-related concerns.

Question 1

How much does a laundry renovation cost in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Laundry renovation costs in Sydney typically range from $8,000 to $20,000 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 $8,000-$12,000. Mid-range renovations with better fixtures and some custom elements range from $12,000-$16,000. More comprehensive renovations featuring premium fixtures, customisation options, and superior finishes typically range from $16,000-$20,000. Additional factors affecting cost include structural modifications, relocating plumbing or electrical services, storage requirements, and whether custom cabinetry is needed. At Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations, we work with you to find the right balance of quality and value for your budget.

Question 2

How long does a laundry renovation take to complete?

Accepted Answer

A standard laundry renovation in Sydney typically takes 2-4 weeks to complete. The timeline includes demolition (1-2 days), plumbing and electrical rough-in (2-3 days), waterproofing and curing time (2-3 days), tiling (2-4 days), cabinetry installation (3-5 days), benchtop and fixture installation (2-3 days), and finishing touches like painting and accessories (2-3 days). This timeline can vary based on laundry size, design complexity, material availability, and whether unexpected issues are discovered during demolition. More detailed laundry renovations with custom storage solutions may take longer due to the installation of bespoke 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.

Question 4

Question 5

Do I need council approval for my laundry renovation?

Accepted Answer

Most laundry renovations in Sydney don't require council approval if they're internal alterations that don't involve structural changes or modifications to the building's footprint. However, approval may be needed if your renovation involves: structural modifications; changes to the laundry'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, updating cabinetry, or installing new storage 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 8

What is a European-style laundry?

Accepted Answer

A European-style laundry is a space-saving design where the washer and dryer are concealed behind cabinetry doors, creating a streamlined look that can be hidden when not in use. This design is particularly popular in Sydney apartments and open-plan homes where the laundry may be visible from living areas. Key features include stacked washer and dryer configurations, custom cabinetry that matches your kitchen or bathroom, integrated storage for detergents and cleaning supplies, fold-out benchtops for sorting, and clever solutions like pull-out hampers. Artistic Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations specialises in European-style laundry designs that maximise functionality while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
