Apartment Bathroom Renovations Sydney

Apartment bathroom renovation involves the redesign and upgrade of bathroom spaces within apartments, focusing on optimising space, enhancing functionality, and refreshing the aesthetic appeal. Fresher Bathrooms Sydney specialises in navigating the unique challenges of apartment renovations, such as limited space, strata regulations, and ensuring minimal disruption to neighbours, to create stylish and practical bathroom solutions that elevate everyday living.

In Sydney apartments, even seemingly minor or cosmetic renovations typically require approval from the Owners Corporation of your strata title. This body represents all owners within the apartment complex, including yourself, and oversees the management of the building as well as the approval process for renovations.

Fresher Bathrooms can assist with strata approval applications for all bathroom renovations, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish.

We focus on durable, space-saving solutions that enhance the aesthetics and usability of your bathroom, considering factors like ventilation, lighting, and moisture resistance.

Renovating an apartment differs from working on a house due to limitations on structural changes. Major projects like removing walls and altering the floorplan are often impractical as they can compromise the building’s structure. This is because many internal walls support the building’s weight.

Additionally, expenses for tasks such as relocating plumbing and electrical systems can add up. Structural drawings and floor x-rays may be necessary to identify steel supports and other services. Our team, including a structural engineer, can guide you through this process and bring your new floorplan to life, but keep in mind the additional costs involved.

In New South Wales, apartment renovations are categorised into three classes: cosmetic, minor, and major works. These classifications dictate the necessary permissions based on the type of renovation.

• Cosmetic Works: Examples include painting and installing picture hooks. Generally, you won’t need approval from the Owners Corporation for cosmetic works.
• Minor Works: This category covers tasks like installing new flooring. Permission from the Owners Corporation is typically required for minor works.
• Major Works: Large structural projects fall into this category such as bathroom and kitchen renovations. Permission from the Owners Corporation is always necessary for major works.

Each strata plan has its own regulations regarding renovations, so it’s advisable to engage with your strata committee during the planning phase to determine the required permissions for your specific project.
