Terrace bathroom renovations and leak repairs across Newtown, for owners, landlords and strata.
Monday – Friday: 9am – 5pm
Trusted by Homeowners and Strata Across Newtown
Newtown terraces are among the most altered buildings in Sydney, and bathroom renovations in Newtown usually mean unpicking that history. Rear additions built onto rear additions, bathrooms squeezed into what used to be a lean-to, and plumbing that has been extended by four different people over eighty years.
A high proportion of Newtown property is tenanted, so we work regularly with landlords and managing agents as well as owner occupiers. We can schedule between tenancies, provide documentation for the agent, and quote to a scope that suits an investment property. Waterproofing is part of our tiling work, carried out by the same licensed team.
Our team doesn’t cut corners. Every repair and renovation complies with Australian Standards (AS3740 Waterproofing of Domestic Wet Areas), and all work is backed by warranty. Whether you need a small regrouting job or a full bathroom renovation, we’re the trusted local experts who get it done right the first time.
Our Services in Newtown

Bathroom Renovations in Newtown
Newtown bathrooms are small and often oddly shaped, which makes the set out and the fixture selection do most of the work. We strip back, repair the substrate honestly, lay a compliant membrane and cure it properly, then tile. Where the room is part of an old lean-to with a failing floor, we deal with the structure first.

Leaking Shower Repairs in Newtown
Shower leaks in Newtown terraces usually turn up as a damp wall in the room behind or a stain in the ceiling below. Because so many of these bathrooms sit on later additions, water travels before it shows. We use video inspection and thermal imaging to find the entry point instead of opening walls on a hunch.

Leaking Balcony Repairs in Newtown
Small first floor balconies and roof terraces on Newtown terraces leak at the threshold and where the membrane meets the parapet or balustrade. We repair the waterproofing at the failure point, correct the fall where possible, and retile.

Tiling and Retiling in Newtown
Old walls, old floors and rooms that are not square. We prepare properly and set out carefully, because in a small bathroom a poor cut at the door or a wandering grout line is the first thing anyone notices. Blade quality matters on the mosaics and patterned tiles that suit these houses.

Regrouting and Resealing in Newtown
For a tenanted property in reasonable condition, a full regrout and reseal is often the sensible spend. We strip the old grout completely, refit with full epoxy grout and reseal internal corners with Belgian silicone. If the membrane underneath has failed, we will tell you rather than let it fail again on your watch.

Chris and Sue Purnell.Posted on Google Dean14 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SealRITE are an exceptionally professional company. My original bathroom renovations which were completed in 2018 by another builder, has had ongoing waterproofing issues. Trying to google search a reputable and competent company that I felt comfortable to remediate some of these issues, was a task in itself. Reading the google reviews of SealRITE, I felt comfortable to contact them, and I am glad that I did. From the time you contact them and arranged an initial appointment, their technical representative arrives on time and conducts a condition assessment of the bath and shower areas and in my case, undertook initial moisture level measurements of the adjacent wall to the bathroom area. The quote was, in my opinion, very reasonable and Waleed takes pride in his water proofing works. The re-grout of the tiles and silicone-ing the perimeter joint seals are , in my opinion of a much higher standard of workmanship, then the original works. I had contacted and requested SealRITE, after approximately three months, upon completion the works, for post moisture measurements to be taken. SealRITE gladly arranged the same technical representative to return, inspected the works as well measure the moisture levels of the adjacent wall that had sig.nificantly subsided, which indicates the effectiveness of their work, and not having the on-going waterproofing issues. I definitely recommend SealRITE for bathroom remediation worksPosted on Google Kate and james24 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SealRITE did a fantastic job redoing our shower base. They were quick, efficient, and left the place clean and tidy. Waleed then regrouted our entire bathroom and it has brightened up the whole space, feels like new despite being 50 years old. Incredibly happy with SealRITE's customer service too. Natalie was so quick to respond and always helpful. Whilst I hope I don't ever 'need' SealRITE again, I certainly would call them if we have any other leak issues. 5 Stars.Posted on Google Brian Thorne3 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Case Study (Newtown terrace, rented property):
A managing agent called about a tenant reporting a smell and a soft patch in the hallway floor outside the bathroom. Inspection showed a long-running leak at the shower wall junction that had been quietly wetting the floor structure for a considerable time. We rebuilt the wet area with a new membrane, and the timber repairs the owner then needed were the direct cost of the leak going unreported. Catching it earlier would have cost a fraction as much.
