Builder-Led Bathroom Renovations
Done Right — Not Just
Done Quickly
A bathroom renovation isn't just about aesthetics. The work hidden behind the tiles — waterproofing, drainage, plumbing, ventilation — determines how long your bathroom actually lasts and whether it causes expensive problems further down the track.
Fady manages every Sync bathroom renovation personally, on site every day. That means waterproofing is done correctly and inspected before tiling begins. It means trades are coordinated so work happens in the right order. And it means the finish — the part you see — is as good as the part you don't.
Bathroom water damage is one of the most costly and disruptive repair jobs a homeowner can face — and almost all of it is caused by substandard or incorrectly applied waterproofing. At Sync, waterproofing is not rushed. It is applied correctly, cured properly, and inspected before a single tile is laid. Every time.

The Hidden Work That Determines Whether Your Bathroom Lasts 5 Years or 30
Most bathroom renovation complaints come down to one thing: poor waterproofing. Water finds its way through incorrectly applied membranes, incorrect fall on floors, or missed junctions — and by the time you see the damage (efflorescence, cracked tiles, rotting framing), the repair bill dwarfs the cost of doing it right in the first place.
At Sync, waterproofing is never rushed, never cut, and always inspected by the builder personally before any tiling begins. We comply with AS 3740 — and we document it.
Our waterproofing commitment:
Licensed waterproofer applies membrane to shower recess, bath surrounds, floor, and all junctions. Full cure time observed. Fady inspects before tiling commences. Documentation provided at handover. Covered under statutory warranty.
How Sync Waterproofs Your Bathroom
Surface preparation
All surfaces are checked for levelness, correctly profiled, and treated with primer where required to ensure membrane adhesion.
Membrane application
Liquid membrane applied to floor, all four shower walls to correct height, bath surrounds, and all junctions — including wall-floor joints and penetrations.
Full cure — no shortcuts
Correct cure time observed between coats and before tiling begins. Temperature and humidity conditions are considered. No rushing this stage.
Builder inspection & sign-off
Fady personally inspects every waterproofed surface before authorising tiling to commence. This is non-negotiable on every Sync project.
Certification at handover
Waterproofing certificate provided at handover along with all other warranty documentation. You have proof of compliance — permanently.

Problems — And How We Prevent Them
Bathrooms are the most technically demanding renovation. Here's what goes wrong when they're not managed properly — and exactly how Sync handles each.
Canberra Bathroom Clients
What Homeowners Say After Their
Bathroom Renovation
"Our main bathroom hadn't been touched since the house was built in the late eighties. The waterproofing had failed, the tiles were cracked, and we'd been living with it for too long. Fady came out, assessed it properly, and was honest that it needed a full strip-out rather than a patch job. The new bathroom took just under three weeks from demolition to the final seal. The tiling is immaculate, the shower screen sits perfectly, and everything drains exactly as it should. He coordinated the plumber and electrician himself so we never had to manage any of it. We've since had him quote the ensuite."
"The ensuite was a tight space and I was worried about what we could actually achieve in it. Fady suggested a layout change that opened it up completely. The result is better than anything we'd seen in our budget."
Michelle T. Griffith, ACT · 2025Communication was excellent from start to finish. Fady kept us updated throughout the build, stuck closely to the timeline, and always made sure we knew what was happening next. The whole process felt organised and stress-free.

Bathroom Renovation FAQs
Common Questions
Before You Reach Out
Questions Canberra homeowners ask before booking a bathroom consultation. Prefer to speak directly? Call Fady on 0452 394 567.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A standard bathroom renovation takes 3–6 weeks for construction, depending on the scope. This excludes the design/planning phase (1–2 weeks) and any required approvals (1–3 weeks). Larger bathrooms with structural changes take longer. We give you a specific timeline before you commit — and we stick to it.
Can I use another bathroom while work is underway?
If your home has more than one bathroom, yes — and we plan around that. If the bathroom being renovated is the only one, we discuss your options honestly during the consultation. We schedule work as efficiently as possible to minimise the period you're without bathroom access. This is a real consideration and we treat it seriously.
What is AS 3740 and why does it matter?
AS 3740 is the Australian Standard for waterproofing in wet areas. It specifies where waterproofing must be applied, how high it must extend, and what materials are compliant. Non-compliant waterproofing voids warranty, can fail building inspections on sale, and is the leading cause of costly bathroom water damage. All Sync bathrooms are waterproofed to this standard and documented at handover.
Do you supply the tiles, vanity and fixtures?
Both options work. You can source your own fixtures and tiles — we'll advise on specifications to ensure compatibility — or we can supply through our trade accounts. We guide you through selections with showrooms and samples, and advise on what works well for your specific space. Tiles in particular: we advise on format, finish, and fall before any order is placed.
Will a new bathroom add value to my home?
Yes — bathrooms consistently rank alongside kitchens as the highest-return renovation in the Australian property market. A well-executed main bathroom or ensuite renovation in Canberra typically returns strong value, particularly in inner suburbs and owner-occupier markets. An outdated bathroom is also consistently cited by buyers as a reason to reduce their offer.
Can you move the toilet or shower to a different position?
Yes. We can reconfigure bathroom layouts, including moving toilet waste points, relocating shower recesses, and changing drain positions. This involves licensed plumbing work and may require a building approval depending on the extent of changes. Fady will advise on the cost and approval requirements for your specific layout change during the consultation.
