Premium Ensuite Renovation Services by MB9 Australia Pty Ltd
A Small Space That Makes a Big Difference
Whenever a Sydney homeowner asks whether an ensuite renovation is “worth it,” I always remember a client from Willoughby who told me, “I didn’t realise how much peace I was missing until my ensuite stopped looking like a laundry cupboard with a shower.”
We both laughed, but he was right. Ensuites are often the most overlooked rooms in the house—until the day they finally work the way you always wished they would.
Whether you want a simple refresh or a full redesign, MB9 Australia specialises in ensuite renovations across Sydney, from Chatswood to Bondi, North Sydney to the Inner West, and everywhere in between.
Why Ensuite Renovations Matter More Than You Think
It’s the First Room You Use Every Morning
Think about it—you stumble out of bed, walk a few steps, and boom: the ensuite sets the tone for the whole day.
A bright, well-organised, comfortable ensuite makes your morning smoother. A cluttered, damp, awkward one slows everything down.
Adds Real Value to Sydney Homes
In suburbs like Lane Cove, Turramurra, Ashfield, Drummoyne, Coogee, and Mosman, real estate reports consistently show that upgraded bathrooms (especially ensuites) increase both appeal and resale value.
Buyers love them. Owners love them. Guests secretly judge them.
Small Room, Big Design Potential
Because ensuites are compact, every decision counts:
-
layout
-
storage
-
lighting
-
ventilation
-
waterproofing
-
tile selection
-
drainage
-
privacy
Done well, an ensuite becomes one of the most enjoyable rooms in the home.

We start with a walkthrough of your existing ensuite.
We look at:
-
moisture issues
-
water flow

ventilation

access

plumbing and electrical position

how the room actually gets used

Popular choices across Sydney include:

wall-hung vanities for more floor space

large tiles to reduce visual clutter

In older homes around Newtown, Leichhardt, and Cremorne, we take extra care with the original structure to avoid unexpected damage.

fall lines are correct

plumbing stays quiet and efficient

We focus on:

clean tile lines

discreet transitions

accurate waterproofing installation

long-lasting grout

smart drainage

correct shower fall
Your ensuite should feel crisp, smooth, and easy to clean.

Ensuite Projects Across Sydney
Wollstonecraft Unit – Soft Contemporary Upgrade
A young couple wanted a brighter space.
We added a wall-hung vanity and larger tiles to open up the room.
Simple, calm, and low maintenance.
Newtown Terrace – Micro Ensuite Transformation
Tight space. Slanted walls. Old plumbing.
We rebuilt the layout, used large tiles, added a frameless shower, and turned a cramped corner into a functional ensuite.
Coogee House – Coastal Retreat
White stone, brushed nickel fittings, and warm lighting made the ensuite feel like a small beachside escape.
Common Questions We Hear
How long does an ensuite renovation take?
Usually 2.5 to 4 weeks, depending on complexity and material availability.
Do I need council approval?
Most ensuite renovations don’t require DA unless you are:
-
moving major structural elements
-
renovating in a heritage-listed property
-
expanding the ensuite footprint
Councils like Woollahra, Leichhardt, and North Sydney sometimes have extra heritage considerations.
Do you provide waterproofing certificates?
Yes—always.
Can you help design small ensuites?
Absolutely.
Most ensuites in Sydney are small.
We specialise in making small spaces feel bigger.

No guesswork. No disappearing acts.
We Work Cleanly and Respectfully
Especially important for apartment buildings with tight access.
