Bathroom Renovations in Hobart
Bathroom renovations are what Hobart Renovations is built on. It’s the room our clients ask us to get right the most — the one space in the home that has to work hard every single day and still feel like a retreat. We handle the full renovation from first measure to final silicone line: demolition, waterproofing, tiling, plumbing and electrical coordination, cabinetry, and fit-off, all managed under one roof so you’re not chasing five different trades.
Bathroom Renovations done properly, start to finish
Hobart’s housing stock is a mixed bag — sandstone cottages in Battery Point, weatherboard character homes climbing the slopes of West Hobart, brick-veneer family homes across the northern suburbs, and newer builds on the Eastern Shore and around Kingston. A bathroom renovation in a 1920s cottage is a different job to one in a 2015 build, and we plan every project around the house we’re actually working in, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Waterproofing and compliance aren’t an afterthought. Every wet area we renovate is waterproofed to Australian Standard AS 3740 and signed off with the correct compliance certificates, which matters both for your safety and for resale down the track.
All plumbing work is carried out by CBOS-licensed plumbers, and any renovation that needs a building permit is identified and managed under Tasmania’s Building Act 2016 framework before work starts — see our guide on permits and approvals in Hobart for more detail.

A standard bathroom renovation typically runs 2–4 weeks once work starts on site, depending on the scope, whether we’re relocating plumbing, and how quickly materials arrive. Heritage homes and larger ensuite-plus-bathroom projects can run longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in your quote, not a best-case guess.
Most like-for-like bathroom renovations don’t need planning approval, but plumbing and electrical work still needs to be carried out and certified by licensed trades, and some jobs need a building permit — particularly if you’re moving walls or changing the footprint. We’ll confirm exactly what’s required for your property before work starts.
Yes — a good portion of our work is in Hobart’s older suburbs, including heritage areas like Battery Point and parts of West Hobart. We’re used to working carefully around original features, and we check whether a property sits on the Tasmanian Heritage Register or within a local heritage precinct before finalising plans — see our guide to renovating a heritage home in Hobart for the detail on how those two systems differ.
Every wet area we renovate is waterproofed to AS 3740, the Australian Standard for waterproofing of domestic wet areas, and signed off with compliance certification. This isn’t optional or something we scale back on a tighter budget — it’s the one part of a bathroom renovation that protects the rest of your home if it isn’t done properly.
