Family Bathrooms Rebuilt Across Campbelltown and Macarthur

What we renovate

Main bathrooms, ensuites, added second bathrooms, small bathrooms, laundries, and the waterproofing, tiling and cabinetry that go with them. No kitchens and no house extensions.

Homes built for a smaller household

A lot of Campbelltown's housing went up in the 1970s and 1980s, when the area was planned as a growth centre for Sydney's south-west. Large public housing estates sat alongside private brick veneer subdivisions, and suburbs like Leumeah, Ambarvale, Bradbury and Minto filled with three- and four-bedroom homes built to a sensible budget.

The typical bathroom from that era follows a pattern:

• A bath with a shower over it, and a shower curtain or a pivot screen
• A separate toilet in its own small room next door
• A single basin in a laminate or melamine vanity
• Wall tiles to around shoulder height in cream, beige or brown
• A small window and often no exhaust fan at all

It worked when it was built. Fifty years later, with teenagers, a partner on shift work and a toddler who still needs a bath, it is usually the most stressed room in the house.

What a growing family actually needs

The brief we hear most often is not "make it look like a hotel". It is closer to "make it cope".

Keep a bath if there are young kids. A bath is how small children get washed. A shower-over-bath with a fixed glass panel and a hand shower on a rail handles both jobs and loses the mouldy curtain.

Make the floor safe when it is wet. Tiles classified for slip resistance, particularly in the shower and in front of the bath, matter more in a house with little feet and older relatives than any colour choice.

Put storage at two heights. Deep drawers for adults, a low shelf or hooks kids can actually reach, and a tall cabinet for towels and bulk toilet paper.

Separate the toilet, or add a second one. The separate WC that came with the house is a genuine asset in a family home. Keep it, improve it, and if space allows add a basin inside it.

Hot water that stays safe. New bathroom installations must deliver hot water at no more than 50°C at the outlets. With small children in the house, that requirement is doing real work.

Adding bathrooms, not just renovating them

Newer estates such as Glen Alpine, Mount Annan, Gregory Hills and Denham Court mostly came with an ensuite. Older homes in Campbelltown, Leumeah and Ingleburn often did not.

For those households, a second bathroom is frequently the most valuable project available. A walk-in robe, a slice of an oversized main bedroom, an enclosed back verandah or an old sunroom can become an ensuite or a powder room. See ensuites and second bathrooms for how we assess whether it works.

Heat, frost and clay

Macarthur is not the coast. Summers run hotter and winters colder than much of Sydney, which shapes a few decisions:

• Ventilation that clears steam fast in winter, when windows stay shut
• Heated towel rails or a ceiling heater for cold mornings
• Flexible sealant at every junction, because the reactive clay soils common in the area mean houses move a little between wet and dry seasons, and rigid grout in a corner will crack

Before anything is demolished

For any home built before about 1990, an asbestos test comes before demolition. It is not an optional extra.

Under NSW law, the deposit is capped at 10 per cent, and for work over $20,000, home building compensation cover must be in place before a deposit is requested. If a quote asks for more, or asks for money before the cover certificate exists, walk away.

The builder behind the work

Renovation work is carried out in partnership with Coastal Renovation Group, a licensed NSW builder. Licence and insurance details are provided on request, and you can check the licence on the NSW Fair Trading register in under a minute.

We are new, and there are no reviews on this site because we have not received any yet. We would rather show you a clear written quote than a star rating we made up.
