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.

Why Sydney Homeowners Choose MB9 for Ensuite Renovations

We Understand Sydney Homes

Whether it’s a tight terrace home in Newtown, an older apartment in Wollstonecraft, or a large family home in St Ives, we’ve renovated ensuites in every style, build era, and layout.

Sydney properties come with their own special challenges:

  • hidden plumbing surprises

  • weird framing from the 70s

  • waterproofing failures

  • small footprints

  • strict strata rules

  • heritage restrictions

We’ve seen them all—nothing shocks us anymore.

What’s Included in a Full Ensuite Renovation

1. In-Home Consultation and Inspection

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

For units in areas like Waterloo, Redfern, or Mascot, we also check strata requirements before planning.

2. Custom Ensuite Design

You share what you want. We guide you through what’s possible.

Popular choices across Sydney include:

  • wall-hung vanities for more floor space

  • large tiles to reduce visual clutter

  • walk-in showers with simple drainage

  • clever storage solutions

  • natural colours to make small spaces feel bigger

Whether you prefer something modern, coastal, minimalist, or timeless, we’ll help design an ensuite that suits your home.

3. Demolition & Preparation

We remove old fixtures, tiles, and fittings while protecting surrounding areas.

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

4. Plumbing, Electrical & Waterproofing

This is the backbone of a good renovation.

Our licensed trades ensure:

  • waterproofing meets Australian Standards

  • fall lines are correct

  • plumbing stays quiet and efficient

  • electrical updates meet code

  • future problems are prevented, not patched

We provide all waterproofing certificates at handover.

5. Tiling & Finishing

Ensuite tiling is delicate because the room is so compact—every cut is visible.

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.

6. Joinery, Fixtures & Final Fit-Out

We help you choose fixtures that match both your style and your daily routine.

Options include:

  • streamlined vanities

  • stone benchtops

  • rimless toilets

  • wall-mounted mixers

  • matte or chrome tapware

  • frameless or semi-frameless screens

  • soft lighting

If you need custom joinery, our team handles it in-house.

7. Quality Check & Handover

We walk through the finished ensuite with you, check all fittings, test drainage, and ensure the room feels just right.

We don’t leave until you’re happy.

What Makes an Ensuite Renovation “Good”?

1. Functional Layout

One of the most common building defects in NSW is waterproofing failure.
We don’t cut corners here.

Even small rooms can hold a surprising amount with the right design.

Good tiles, good tapware, and good lighting = long-term comfort.

If your mirror fogs for 20 minutes, something is wrong.

Ensuite Renovations in Different Sydney Property Types

Apartments

Ensuites in Sydney apartments often face:

  • limited space

  • tight strata rules

  • shared plumbing stacks

  • noise restrictions

We handle strata submissions and help ensure the renovation meets all requirements.

Terrace Houses

Properties in Newtown, Glebe, Annandale, and Paddington often have quirky framing and unusual layouts.
We specialise in turning those awkward spaces into modern, usable ensuites.

Modern Homes

Newer homes in Ryde, Epping, Chatswood, and Kellyville usually have potential for clever upgrades—especially lighting, mirrors, and ventilation.

Luxury Homes

For areas like Mosman, Roseville, Vaucluse, and St Ives, we often use:

  • natural stone

  • custom joinery

  • recessed LED lighting

  • rainfall showerheads

  • premium fixtures

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.

Why MB9 Stands Out in Sydney’s Renovation Market

We’re Detail Oriented

Ensuites are small, so every tile, angle, and junction is noticeable.
We take our time to get the details right.

We Value Communication

You’ll always know what’s happening each day.
No guesswork. No disappearing acts.

We Work Cleanly and Respectfully

Especially important for apartment buildings with tight access.

We Treat Every Project Like It’s Our Own Home

Because that’s what good renovators do.
