Bathroom Renovations and Leaking Shower Repairs Across Sydney's Inner West

Licensed tilers and waterproofers working from Balmain through to Strathfield

Bathroom renovations in the Inner West are rarely straightforward. Terrace bathrooms squeezed into 1.6 metres. Semis where the laundry sits behind the shower wall. Apartment blocks where the membrane was signed off decades ago and has not been touched since. SealRITE Solutions renovates bathrooms and repairs leaking showers and balconies across all 31 Inner West suburbs, using licensed tilers and waterproofers who carry out the work themselves. Waterproofing is part of our tiling, not a separate trade you have to chase. Call 1300 123 008 for a free on-site assessment.

Trusted by Homeowners and Strata Across the Inner West

The Inner West holds some of the oldest housing stock in Sydney, and the bathroom is usually the first part of a Victorian terrace or an interwar semi to give up. We see the same three faults over and over. Waterproofing that predates any real standard. Floor wastes sitting higher than the tiles around them. Grout patched so many times it now holds water instead of shedding it.

Our team has spent three decades on exactly this kind of building. Every tradesperson holds their own licence rather than working under one company ticket, and the person who quotes your job is a tiler, not a sales rep. Strata committees in Marrickville, Balmain and Ashfield use us for the same reason their owners do: we turn up when we say we will, and the paperwork is in order before we ask for a cent.

Services we offer across the Inner West

Bathroom Renovation

Bathroom Renovations in the Inner West

Small footprints are the norm here, so planning matters more than it does in a new build. We handle the full job: strip out, new membrane, screed and falls corrected, tiling, fixtures and finish. Most Inner West bathrooms we renovate sit between three and six square metres, and wherever it saves you money we plan the layout around the drainage already in the floor rather than moving it.

Leaking Shower Repairs in the Inner West

Most leaks we find in Inner West homes are not plumbing failures. They are failed waterproofing, or grout that stopped doing its job years ago. Thermal imaging and video inspection let us find the source without pulling tiles off the wall first, and in most cases the shower can be repaired and resealed without a full strip out. Same day leak detection is available across the region.

Leaking Balcony Repairs in the Inner West

Balconies on Inner West apartment blocks and rear additions fail at the junctions: door thresholds, balustrade fixings, and the tile edge where the membrane was never turned up far enough. We repair and re-waterproof the balcony, correct the fall where the structure allows, and retile. Water marking a ceiling below almost always traces back to one of those three points.

Tiling and Retiling in the Inner West

Heritage terraces and warehouse conversions throw up substrates that new-build tilers rarely deal with. Timber floors with movement in them, old sand and cement screeds, walls out by 20mm across a single room. We prepare the surface properly before a tile goes down, and we cut with Japanese blades so the edges stay clean on mosaics and large format alike.

Regrouting and Resiliconing in the Inner West

Regrouting buys years out of a bathroom that is not ready for a full renovation. We strip the old grout out completely instead of skimming over it, then finish with full epoxy grout and high-grade Belgian silicone. If the waterproofing underneath has already failed, we will tell you before you spend money on grout that cannot fix it.

Why Inner West Locals Choose SealRITE

We’re here to do it once, and do it right.

Every part of Sydney presents its own problems. In the Inner West it is age and access. Narrow rear lanes, no off-street parking, a party wall shared with the neighbours, and buildings that have been altered three or four times since they went up. We plan around all of that before we start rather than discovering it on the first morning.

  • Fully licensed waterproofers & tilers
  • We know the Inner West, from terrace construction to strata blocks
  • Clear communication and reliable timeframes
  • No pressure, no shortcuts – just honest, high-quality work
  • We work with homeowners, strata, builders & real estate teams

SealRITE Solutions exists because we were tired of seeing rushed jobs and poor workmanship – especially in high-value areas like the Eastern Suburbs where people expect (and deserve) better. We bring standards back into waterproofing, tiling, and renovation work.

The Truth About Shower Repair Warranties

SealRITE Solutions - Professional bathroom and shower services Sydney

When it comes to waterproofing, not all warranties are created equal. Many companies in Sydney use “too good to be true” warranty promises as a sales trick, leaving homeowners disappointed when the fine print voids their cover.

At SealRITE Solutions, we do things differently. Every repair we carry out is compliant, permanent, and backed by a genuine warranty of up to 10 years. No gimmicks, no fake guarantees, just work that stands the test of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Bathroom Renovations in the Inner West

It comes down to the size of the room, whether the layout is changing, and the condition of what sits under the tiles. Inner West bathrooms are usually small, which keeps material costs down, but older terraces often need work on the substrate before anything can be tiled. We quote after seeing the room, and the quote comes with a video report so you can see what we saw.
Yes. A heritage listing generally restricts changes to the front facade rather than the internal wet areas, though requirements vary between Inner West Council, Burwood, Canada Bay and Strathfield. If we think your job needs approval, we will say so at quote stage rather than halfway through.
Yes, and a good share of our Inner West work is strata. We provide the documentation a committee or building manager needs, including individual licence details and insurance, and we work within building access hours so other residents are not disrupted.
Two to three weeks for a standard bathroom. That allows for waterproofing cure times, which cannot be rushed without compromising the membrane. If someone quotes you a week, either something has been left out of the scope or they are planning to tile over a membrane before it has cured.
Yes, and a repair often makes more sense than a renovation if the rest of the bathroom is sound. We will tell you when that is the case. A repair costs a fraction of a full renovation and there is no reason to sell you the bigger job.

Water damage does not hold still. A shower leak that costs a few hundred dollars to sort out this month turns into a floor and wall rebuild inside a year. Call us and we will come out, assess it properly, and hand you a video report along with the quote.
