Renovating a bathroom in a Sydney strata apartment

Under NSW strata law, work that involves waterproofing is a 'major renovation', which needs approval by special resolution at an owners corporation meeting before you start. Plan for that time. The renovator needs a NSW licence for work over $5,000, and for work over $20,000 they must take out Home Building Compensation cover and give you the certificate before taking a deposit.

Before you hire a bathroom renovation in Sydney

  • Agree in writing who manages the whole job and the other trades.
  • Ask how the waterproofing will be done and what you get in writing at the end.
  • Say up front if the shower, toilet or vanity will move — it changes the plumbing work and the price.
  • Get a written contract with the scope, timeline and payment stages.

Common questions

Do I need strata approval to renovate my bathroom in Sydney?
Yes if the work touches waterproofing, which most bathroom renovations do — it counts as a major renovation needing a special resolution. Ask your strata manager for the by-law process early.
Which trades does a bathroom renovation need?
Usually a plumber, an electrician, a waterproofer and a tiler, plus a carpenter or builder for walls and cabinetry. A renovator or builder often coordinates them for you.
Why does waterproofing matter so much?
It is the layer under the tiles that keeps water out of the floor and walls. A failure shows up later as leaks and mould and is expensive to fix, so ask who does it and how.
