About us

A licensed Sydney builder who designs the bathroom, names every fixture, and signs the certificate.

Bathline has been the in-house design-and-build studio Sydney homeowners call for the bathroom they only renovate once, since 2002.

Most Sydney bathrooms go wrong the same way: a cheap builder gives you a flat number, hides PC sums for tiles and tapware, hands the waterproofing to whoever is on site that week, and walks away with no certificate filed. Eighteen months later a tile pops, the membrane is leaking into the kitchen ceiling, and the warranty is a phone number that does not answer.

Bathline started in 2002 to do it the other way. Every renovation is designed in house, every fixture is named brand and model before you sign, the waterproofing is applied by a licensed waterproofer named on your contract, and the certificate of compliance is signed and given to you on handover. The number on page one of the proposal is the number on the final invoice.

Most of a bathroom is what you do not see. We design every layer, name every fixture, lock the price, and warrant the build for seven years.

Today we design and build main bathrooms, ensuites, laundries and waterproofing-only jobs right across Sydney, with no travel surcharge within 30km of Alexandria.

How we work

Three things we will not compromise on.

Reading a quote

The itemised page vs the text-message price.

What's on our quote
Fixed-price proposal, signed before work starts.
Waterproofing certificate of compliance, signed by a licensed waterproofer.
Tiles, vanity and tapware named by brand and model.
In-house team. The crew that quotes is the crew that builds.
Seven-year written workmanship warranty.
What the cheap quote leaves out
Day-rate quote, then variations bleed it past budget.
Waterproofing "on the day", no certificate, no name on the membrane.
Generic spec sheet, "PC sums" left open for the showroom to settle.
Subcontracted everything, nobody on site responsible.
Twelve-month warranty buried in clause 14.

Licensed, not just listed

NSW Lic. 304 999C, named on every contract. The waterproofing is applied by a licensed waterproofer named on your job, with the AS 3740 certificate of compliance signed and given to you on handover.

Fixed price, no PC sums

Every selection is named, brand and model, before you sign. No allowances, no Prime Cost sums, no surprises on the final invoice. The number on the contract is the number you pay.

One in-house crew

The team that walks the consultation is the team that runs the build. No revolving subbies, no project manager you only meet on day one. You know who is in the house.

Seven years, in writing

Workmanship warrantied for seven years, with the exclusions named so the document is not a marketing line. We come back if the membrane, the tiling or the joinery moves.

The right fit

Built for the bathroom you only renovate once.

Premium, fixed-price design-and-build for homeowners who want it right.

We are the right fit if you want a bathroom designed by the builder who is going to build it, with every selection named on a fixed-price proposal and the waterproofing certified in writing. We are probably not the cheapest quote you will get. If the lowest number is the deciding factor, we will tell you so on the consultation rather than waste your time.

Licensed NSW Builder

Licence No. 304 999C

Bathroom renovation in NSW requires a licensed builder, and waterproofing requires a separately licensed waterproofer, so the credentials that protect you are the builder licence, the waterproofer licence, and the AS 3740 certificate of compliance. On a live Bathline Bathroom Co build these are the real, verifiable details of the business.
