Trusted by Homeowners and Strata Across Five Dock

Bathroom renovations in Five Dock usually begin with a house built between the wars. Solid brick, tiled roof, and a bathroom that is either original or was last touched in the 1980s. The floor plans are generous by Inner West standards, which gives us room to work with, but what sits under the tiles is almost always the problem. Sand and cement bedding, no membrane worth the name, and a floor waste that has been sitting proud of the surrounding tiles for thirty years.

We have renovated bathrooms right across Five Dock, from the Federation homes off Great North Road through to the newer duplexes and apartments down towards Lyons Road and the Canada Bay foreshore. Every tradesperson on our team holds an individual licence, and the person who quotes your job is involved in delivering it. Waterproofing is not a separate contractor we bring in and hope for the best with. It is part of our tiling, done by the same team on the same job.

Our Services in Five Dock

Bathroom Renovation

Bathroom Renovations in Five Dock

Five Dock bathrooms in the older brick homes are usually a reasonable size, which opens up options a terrace bathroom does not have. We strip back to substrate, correct the falls, lay a compliant membrane and let it cure properly before a tile goes down. Most Five Dock renovations run two to three weeks. Where the existing layout works, we leave the drainage where it is and put the money into finishes instead.

Leaking Shower Repairs in Five Dock

Most shower leaks we find in Five Dock trace back to the same two things: grout that has been patched over the years, and a membrane that was never really there. Thermal imaging and video inspection let us confirm the source before anyone starts pulling tiles off the wall. In a good number of cases we can repair and reseal the shower without a full strip out, which keeps the bathroom in use.

Leaking Balcony Repairs in Five Dock

Balconies on the newer Five Dock apartments and on rear additions to older homes fail where the tile meets the door threshold, or at the balustrade fixings where the membrane was never turned up far enough. We find the entry point, re-waterproof it properly and retile. Water marking a ceiling below is nearly always one of those two spots rather than a plumbing fault.

Tiling and Retiling in Five Dock

Interwar Five Dock homes come with substrates that need preparing rather than covering up. Old screeds, timber floors with movement in them, walls out of plumb across the width of a room. We prepare the surface before we tile, and cut with Japanese blades so the edges hold up on mosaic and large format work alike.

Regrouting and Resealing in Five Dock

If the bathroom is otherwise sound, regrouting is the cheaper answer and it buys years. We remove the old grout completely rather than skimming over it, then finish with full epoxy grout and Belgian silicone at every change of plane. If the waterproofing underneath has already gone, we will tell you before you spend money on a fix that cannot last.

What Five Dock Residents Say About SealRITE

Maroubra

Case Study (Five Dock semi, Great North Road end):

The owners called about a stain spreading across the kitchen ceiling under the main bathroom. Video inspection put the leak in the shower recess rather than the plumbing, and the membrane turned out to be a paint-on product applied straight over old render. We stripped the bathroom back, corrected the fall to the waste, laid a proper membrane and retiled. Three weeks start to finish, and the ceiling below was repaired once we could confirm the area was dry.

Pricing, Warranties & Offers

Every Five Dock bathroom is different, so we quote after seeing the room rather than over the phone. The two things that move the price most are the size of the space and what we find once the old tiles come off. You get an itemised quote with a video report attached, so you can see the condition of the substrate and the waterproofing for yourself before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Bathroom Renovations in Five Dock

It comes down to the size of the room, whether the layout is changing, and the state of what sits under the existing tiles. Five Dock bathrooms in the older brick homes tend to be larger than the Inner West average, so material quantities are higher, though the structure is usually sound. We quote after an on-site assessment and include a video report so you can see exactly what the figure is based on.
Two to three weeks for a standard Five Dock bathroom. A good part of that is waterproofing cure time, which cannot be shortened without compromising the membrane. You get a day by day schedule with the quote so you can plan around it.
Often, yes. We find the source first with thermal imaging and video inspection. If the membrane is intact and the problem is grout or silicone, a repair and reseal will hold. If the membrane itself has failed we will say so, because no amount of grout fixes that.
Yes. We provide the licence and insurance documentation strata managers ask for, and we work within building access hours. Plenty of the unit blocks around Lyons Road and the foreshore have original wet areas that are now well past their service life.
It is included. We do not offer waterproofing as a standalone service. It forms part of our tiling work and is carried out by the same licensed team, which removes the handover gap where most failures start.
We work across the whole Inner West. Closest to Five Dock that means Abbotsford, Russell Lea, Wareemba, Chiswick, Drummoyne, Canada Bay and Concord.
