Frequently Asked Questions
At Monument Bathrooms, we know that starting a bathroom renovation can feel overwhelming. Homeowners want to understand the costs, the process, and what’s really included before making a decision.
This FAQ addresses the most common questions we hear from Sydney families, giving you the confidence to move forward with your project.
Cost & Budget
What does a bathroom renovation cost in Sydney?
Bathroom renovation costs in Sydney depend heavily on the scope of work, the finishes you choose, and whether the existing layout is changed. At the lower end, budget-friendly renovations typically range between $15,000 and $22,000, where the focus is on refreshing rather than reconfiguring. Mid-range projects often sit between $22,000 and $35,000, delivering higher-quality fittings, more design flexibility, and a noticeable uplift in style. Luxury renovations, often featuring bespoke joinery, natural stone, and custom lighting, can exceed $50,000. Monument Bathrooms provides fixed quotes and detailed breakdowns, so you always know exactly what you’re paying for.
What’s included in the $19,990 bathroom renovation package?
Our popular $19,990 package is designed to give homeowners a complete bathroom transformation at a highly competitive price. It covers demolition, professional waterproofing, updated plumbing and electrical work, new tiling throughout, and a stylish fit-out with modern fixtures. The package delivers a turn-key bathroom with all the essentials included, perfect for those who want a fresh, functional, and elegant space without the uncertainty of escalating costs.
Can I renovate my bathroom on a tight budget?
Yes. Many of our clients achieve excellent results by retaining the existing plumbing layout and updating only the key features such as the tiles, vanity, and tapware. Choosing durable mid-range fixtures instead of premium designer brands can also reduce expenses without compromising on style. Our design team specialises in helping clients make strategic choices that keep the budget under control while still producing a bathroom that feels brand new.
Do you offer fixed pricing with no hidden fees?
Absolutely. Every project comes with a fixed price that includes labour, materials, and project management. There are no surprise extras once work begins. To reinforce our commitment, we also back every project with a $500-per-day delay guarantee—if your bathroom isn’t finished on time, we pay you.

We specialise in making the most out of compact spaces. Whether it’s an ensuite, powder room, or apartment bathroom, we focus on clever storage solutions, frameless glass showers to open up the room, and finishes that enhance light and space. These strategies transform even the smallest bathrooms into highly functional and attractive spaces.
Can I customise the bathroom layout?
Yes, we regularly reconfigure bathrooms to suit our clients’ needs. Common requests include moving a shower or toilet, changing door orientations, or combining a separate toilet and bathroom into one larger space. While these changes offer significant lifestyle benefits, they do add complexity and cost due to the need for new plumbing and waterproofing. We’ll always provide advice on whether the benefits outweigh the additional expense.
Fixtures & Materials
Can I choose my own fittings and tiles?
Of course. We have a wide network of trusted suppliers and can guide you through their ranges of vanities, tapware, tiles, and lighting. If you’ve already found products you love, we’re happy to install them as long as they meet Australian standards. This flexibility ensures your bathroom reflects your personal taste.
What’s the difference between frameless and framed shower screens?
Frameless shower screens offer a clean, minimalist look and are easier to maintain as there are fewer edges where soap scum can accumulate. They are slightly more expensive but add a modern, high-end feel. Framed and semi-framed screens are more affordable and durable, making them ideal for busy households or investment properties where resilience is a priority.
Do you install underfloor heating and heated towel rails?
Yes. We can incorporate both into your renovation. Underfloor heating, which we currently offer free with select packages (valued at $2,200), adds comfort during Sydney’s cooler months and enhances resale appeal. Heated towel rails are another popular choice that combine practicality with a touch of luxury.
Process & Timeline
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A standard renovation usually takes between two and four weeks, depending on the size and complexity. More intricate or high-end projects may extend to five or six weeks. Before starting, we provide a detailed schedule that sets out what will happen each week, so you can plan accordingly.
Do I need to move out during the renovation?
In most cases, no. We isolate the work area and protect surrounding surfaces to keep disruption to a minimum. If you have only one bathroom, you may need temporary arrangements for one or two days during demolition and waterproofing, when the bathroom is completely unusable.
What does your renovation process look like?
Our process follows a clear sequence: initial site inspection, detailed quote, design consultation, demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in, waterproofing, tiling, fixture installation, and final handover. Throughout, your dedicated project manager keeps you updated and ensures quality control at every stage.
Compliance, Permits & Warranty
Do you handle permits and strata approvals?
Yes. For apartments and Class 2 buildings, we liaise directly with strata managers and ensure all paperwork, waterproofing certificates, and compliance documents are in place. Every renovation complies with the National Construction Code and Australian Standards, including AS 3740 for waterproofing.
Are your tradesmen licensed and insured?
Yes. Our plumbers, electricians, and waterproofers are fully licensed, and all our trades carry public liability insurance. With over 40 years of combined experience, our team has the expertise to deliver work safely and to code.
Do you offer warranties?
All workmanship is covered by a minimum six-year warranty as required under NSW law, and fixtures are backed by manufacturer warranties. This means your bathroom is protected both structurally and mechanically.
Accessibility & Special Projects
Do you offer NDIS-compliant or accessible bathroom renovations?
Yes. We customise bathrooms for seniors, people with disabilities, and those planning to age in place. Upgrades include walk-in showers, grab rails, wider doorways, non-slip flooring, and adjustable vanities. Our team ensures that all accessibility features meet both safety and NDIS requirements.
Can you convert a bathtub into a walk-in shower?
Yes, this is one of our most common projects, particularly for older homeowners or families with accessibility needs. We focus on creating level-entry showers with effective water containment and slip-resistant finishes to improve both safety and usability.
