We Talked to Homeowners — Here are the Contractors That Do the Best Bathroom Renovations in Sydney
The bathroom is probably the trickiest part of the house to upgrade. It’ll leave you questioning where you’re supposed to shower or do your business while everything is torn apart.
This is why homeowners want the job done right and smoothly. And to help them get exactly that, we set out to find bathroom renovation services in Sydney that can deliver a reliable service and results.
They didn’t necessarily have to be fast; we just wanted to find the ones with reliable, reasonable timelines that won’t leave us hanging for too long.
Here are the ones that stood out after days of interviewing homeowners and verifying claims!
How much do bathroom renovations cost in Sydney?
Bathroom renovations in Sydney can cost from $8,000 to $40,000. The final cost depends on the scope of the renovation, labour costs, and materials.
1. Luke’s Renovations
Address: 1/2a Burrows Rd, St Peters
Phone: +61450749214
Business hours: Monday to Saturday, 8 AM–5 PM
While looking into Luke’s Renovations, we were impressed by their experience and versatility. Their portfolio shows they’ve worked on kitchen and bathroom renovations with private homes and apartment units for over a decade.
One of Luke’s standout features is speed. Many homeowners reported that the team can complete a full bathroom renovation in as little as 2 weeks.
This is very convenient, as it leads to shorter disruptions and minimal time without a working bathroom. Homeowners even told us that the work didn’t feel rushed despite having a quick turnaround time.
They said that the attention to detail is still there, and the team is very thorough with their preparation.
And because the team covers the entire process, homeowners don’t need to deal with multiple contractors for a single project. We find this extremely helpful, especially for larger-scale renovations.
On the flip side, the team can be inconsistent in its communication. A little proactivity would be appreciated.
Thanks, team
“Engaged Luke and team to renovate two bathrooms. Both were complete in three weeks. His process works like a well-oiled machine – with everything completed on time. I was a first-time renovator, and I did have a lot of questions. My advice would be to trust the process – Luke provides a quote and a list of items you need to buy and have ready onsite on the agreed start date. I asked questions when out shopping to ensure I bought the right fixtures, and Luke was prompt with his responses. I’m happy with the end result – see pics for before and after.”

Pleasure
“It was a pleasure working with Luke and Abe. The brief was challenging, involving moving plumbing around in a first-floor apartment building, and required access to the neighbour’s ceiling below. Luke’s team managed to work through all of these challenges with ease and delivered an amazing result. Will definitely be using their services again in the future.”

2. Passion Built
Address: 3/85 Bourke Rd, Alexandria
Phone: +61424439952
Business hours: 24 hours
As a team of experienced builders, Passion Built seems capable of handling every aspect of a renovation project, from demolition to post-project support services.
We reviewed their previous work and learned that they can accommodate both residential and commercial bathroom renovations. With this scale, we find the team’s work to be high-quality and reliable.
What we really found cool is the 3D virtual design tools they offer. It helps clients plan the layout, materials, and the overall look of the bathroom before the project begins. That way, they know what to expect with the outcome.
The team is very transparent and clear with prices too. The quote includes fixed pricing and a detailed breakdown of the expenses. This makes it easier for clients to see if their rates are within their budget and compare choices.
Homeowners we talked to also appreciated that the renovations started immediately after they agreed to the quote. Projects are also always completed on schedule.
This is thanks to the owner who is ever hands-on in working with the clients. We heard that he personally manages every project and keeps in close contact with the homeowners to keep them updated.
We noticed some minor lapses in communication, but we appreciate that the owner quickly addressed each issue professionally.
Worth the wait
“We recently had our ensuite and main bathroom renovated by Dylan, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Dylan was approachable, helpful, and incredibly professional. He delivered everything on time and with a level of quality that really impressed us. We actually waited a few months for Dylan to become available because he was booked up with other jobs – and now we know why. It was absolutely worth the wait. He is very reasonable and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process ,and just did a fantastic job.”
- Megan Efron, Google Reviews
Highly recommended
“We were recommended to Dylan through a friend who was very pleased with her bathroom. From the get-go go everything was smooth. Dylan communicates well and responds quickly, which is important to me. He is also very direct and will let you know if something will work or not. The work that his team has done for us is outstanding. The before and after photos speak for themselves. We are happy with the workmanship and quality of work the team has delivered. They even finished the job earlier than anticipated. We will use Passionbuilt again for future works.”

3. Crystal Bathrooms
Address: 2 Medway St, Bexley
Phone: +61289648486
Business hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM
Crystal Bathrooms made it to our list because we were impressed by how innovative the company is.
To help homeowners visualise the project, they’ll be able to see exactly how it will turn out using a VR (Virtual Reality) device. Many homeowners find this feature a great help in their decision-making.
This is such a fresh and creative idea for us since the homeowners also told us that you can “edit” your future bathroom as you walk through the visual aid.
This isn’t just helpful for homeowners but also for the team. This allows for adjustments to be made beforehand rather than after renovations, which can be costly and time-consuming.
The homeowners also appreciate that in every project, there’s an assigned project manager who will oversee the whole thing and will serve as their point of contact.
They said that it made the whole journey seamless and more organised since the project manager took all the stressful stuff.
We were just disappointed to hear about some issues with the pricing. A few homeowners reported additional costs that were not included in the initial quote.
Though some of them didn’t mind, it would be more appreciated if they were informed about it.
Great job
“Yesterday, the bathroom renovation project on Young Street was completed, and the result looks great. Many thanks to the project manager, James, for his excellent work. He is professional and did a great job coordinating the vendors and keeping the project moving smoothly.”
- TJ, Google Reviews
Highly recommend the Crystal Bathroom Team.
“James and the team have been great to deal with. Renovations can be super stressful. They helped take much of the stress out of the process. I was kept informed throughout the 5-week project, made aware of any issues, and the outcome is a beautiful new bathroom that I absolutely love.”

4. Belle Bathrooms
Address: Unit 1/3 South St, Rydalmere
Phone: +61288659291
Business hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM–5 PM
Belle Bathrooms made the list because we found their attention to detail on every project impressive. Not only is the project management excellent, but their care for the homeowners and the property deserves praise.
In terms of the process, it was pretty structured. They provide a full, detailed quote shortly after the initial consultation. And in case the homeowners need help with design, the team will offer an interior designer consultation valued at $500.
And after the clients agree to the quote, the material selection and renovation scheduling will follow.
Giving clarity on the timeline and budget makes it easier for the clients to decide before committing to the project.
We also like that each project has a dedicated team/builders. Homeowners found this very reassuring, since they can feel the attention is undivided.
We also heard that the team supplies the homeowners with a work schedule every week, so they’re aware of what the builders work on each day.
We’re just disappointed that the team sometimes forgets to communicate, though it’s not really a common occurrence.
Brilliant job
“Belle Bathrooms did a brilliant job renovating and transforming our bathroom into the beautiful space it now is. From the outset, the team was honest, approachable, and attentive, and devised the best solution to suit our needs. Throughout the process, they were punctual and consistently kept us informed about the progress of the work. They treated our home as if it were their own, carefully laying down protective padding and cleaning up after themselves. Needless to say, we are extremely impressed with the results and highly recommend their professional services. Thank you to Will, Ben, Josh, and the rest of the team involved!”
- C& M, Google Reviews
Had a great experience with them.
“Really solid communication the whole time, really loved the planning schedule I get sent every week. We reformatted the layout of our bathroom, but they took us through the steps and were very patient and knowledgeable. They are also flexible to change. All the staff were responsive and approachable. 10/10 would use again.”

5. Nu-Trend
Address: Unit 6/59-69 Halstead St, South Hurstville
Phone: +61401165779
Business hours: Monday to Saturday, 7 AM–5 PM
We heard nothing but good things about how the Nu-Trend team operates. First, we heard that the team only uses premium materials from reputable suppliers that meet Australian standards.
Second, the customer service from start to finish is top-notch. The team takes a very hands-on approach to every project.
The homeowners told us that the owners don’t just delegate tasks and leave them to the builders, but they also personally visit the site to oversee every step of the renovation.
This made the clients feel well taken care of, as they deal directly with the owners, which makes the journey less stressful.
The attention and courtesy to the property deserve praise as well. Homeowners told us that the team will provide covers for the floor and the furniture, keep the tools organised, and always clean up at the end of the day.
Some homeowners find Nu-Trends’ products and services more expensive than those of other companies, but they also said that it’s worth the investment.
100000/10!
“We had the pleasure of working with Rick and the boys at Nu Trend earlier this year, and we couldn’t be happier with the results from our renovated bathrooms and kitchen. They did an incredible job transforming our space, were skilled, efficient, kind, and so passionate about their work. We would have them come again and again for any future renovations needed. Thank you, team! Highly recommend.”
- Maddie, Google Reviews
We’re very happy with our new bathroom.
“ All of the tradies were very professional, very tidy, and importantly, nice to have around. Rick was always behind the scenes organising for us, and everyone turned up on time, every time. So thanks, Rick, Robbie, Chris, Bill, and everyone else at Nu-Trend!”
