Laundry & bathroom combination renovations Sydney

For many Sydney homeowners, space is at a premium, and combining a laundry and bathroom can be a smart way to maximise functionality without sacrificing style. At MB9 Australia Pty Ltd, we specialise in professional laundry & bathroom combination renovations in Sydney, creating practical, safe, and aesthetically pleasing spaces that make daily routines easier.

Whether you live in a compact apartment in Surry Hills, a terrace in Marrickville, or a family home in Mosman, our licensed contractors provide customised renovation solutions that optimise every centimetre.

Why Combine a Laundry and Bathroom?

Combining a bathroom and laundry is not just about saving space—it’s about improving the efficiency and flow of your home. Many older Sydney homes, particularly terraces and apartments, have separate, cramped laundries that take up valuable space. Combining these areas allows you to:

  • Maximise floor space in compact homes

  • Streamline plumbing and water connections for cost-efficiency

  • Create modern, multifunctional spaces that accommodate families

  • Enhance storage through clever cabinetry and shelving

For example, homeowners in Leichhardt and Newtown often benefit from this approach in terrace renovations, while apartments in Bondi and Coogee make the most of limited floor space.

Signs You Might Need a Laundry & Bathroom Combination

How do you know if a combined renovation is right for you? Typical indicators include:

  • A cramped bathroom with barely enough room for a washing machine

  • Separate laundry areas that feel disconnected or inconvenient

  • Poor storage or clutter in either space

  • Outdated fixtures or plumbing issues

MB9 helps Sydney homeowners turn inefficient layouts into functional, stylish spaces that meet modern living needs.

Key Considerations for a Successful Renovation

Combining a laundry and bathroom requires careful planning. MB9 focuses on:

1. Efficient Layouts

We design layouts that integrate appliances, sinks, showers, and cabinetry without overcrowding the room. Common strategies include:

  • Stackable washer-dryer units to save floor space

  • Compact or wall-mounted vanities

  • Clear separation of wet and dry zones for safety

2. Plumbing Integration

One of the biggest advantages of a combined renovation is simplifying plumbing. MB9 ensures:

  • Proper drainage for both bathroom and laundry appliances

  • Efficient hot and cold water connections

  • Compliance with NSW plumbing regulations

3. Storage Solutions

Maximising storage in a combined space is essential. Solutions include:

  • Built-in cabinets that conceal laundry supplies

  • Pull-out hampers and shelving

  • Overhead storage for towels and cleaning products

4. Moisture and Waterproofing

With two wet zones in one space, waterproofing is critical. MB9 installs:

  • Waterproof membranes behind tiles

  • Water-resistant cabinetry

  • Adequate ventilation to prevent mold

Neighborhood-Specific Considerations

Different areas of Sydney present unique challenges for combined renovations:

  • Inner West (Marrickville, Leichhardt, Newtown): Older terraces often have uneven floors and tight layouts, requiring customised cabinetry and careful planning.

  • Eastern Suburbs (Bondi, Coogee): Apartments may benefit from vertical storage, wall-mounted fixtures, and space-saving appliances.

  • Lower North Shore (Mosman, Neutral Bay): Luxury homes allow for designer finishes, integrated appliances, and high-end materials.

  • Northern Beaches & Sutherland Shire: Coastal homes face higher humidity, making water-resistant materials and proper ventilation essential.

Our local experience ensures that every renovation works with the specific needs and restrictions of each neighborhood.

Common Challenges in Laundry & Bathroom Combination Renovations

Combining these two spaces isn’t without challenges. MB9 addresses:

  • Limited space: Reconfiguring layouts and appliances to create functional zones

  • Water management: Ensuring both the shower and laundry areas are properly waterproofed

  • Ventilation: Installing adequate exhaust fans to prevent condensation

  • Accessibility: Making sure the space works for all household members

Our team has successfully renovated combined spaces across Surry Hills, Balmain, Mosman, and Marrickville, solving these challenges while keeping the space stylish and practical.

Our Renovation Process

MB9 follows a structured process to ensure a seamless renovation:

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

We inspect your current spaces, discuss goals, and assess structural and plumbing needs.

Step 2: Design & Recommendations

Our designers create layouts that integrate bathroom and laundry functions efficiently, recommending materials, cabinetry, and fixtures suitable for your lifestyle.

Step 3: Plumbing & Electrical Work

Licensed contractors handle all plumbing and electrical modifications to accommodate appliances, taps, showers, and water heaters.

Step 4: Installation

We install cabinetry, tiling, flooring, fixtures, and appliances with precision. Every joint, seam, and connection is carefully finished.

Step 5: Testing & Handover

Waterproofing is tested, appliances checked, and the space inspected for functionality. The result is a safe, functional, and stylish combined bathroom and laundry.

Example: 

A terrace in Marrickville had a cramped bathroom and a separate laundry that was barely usable:

  1. Reconfigured the space to integrate the laundry into the bathroom

  2. Installed a stackable washer-dryer behind sliding doors

  3. Added a wall-mounted vanity and pull-out storage for towels and cleaning products

  4. Applied waterproof membranes and improved ventilation

The result was a modern, multifunctional space that made daily chores more efficient and maximized the home’s usable floor space.

Cost Considerations

The cost of a combined laundry and bathroom renovation depends on:

  • Size of the space: Larger rooms require more materials and labour

  • Fixtures and appliances: Stackable units, designer vanities, and taps vary in price

  • Plumbing modifications: Relocating pipes or integrating hot water systems can affect cost

  • Materials: Tiles, cabinetry, and water-resistant surfaces influence overall expenses

MB9 provides transparent, detailed quotes to help homeowners balance cost, style, and functionality.

Trends in Combined Renovations

Sydney homeowners increasingly seek:

  • Space-saving solutions such as vertical laundry setups

  • Minimalist, clutter-free designs with integrated storage

  • Durable, water-resistant materials for high-moisture zones

MB9 keeps up with these trends while prioritising practical solutions that last.

Maintenance Tips for Combined Spaces

Maintaining a combined laundry and bathroom is easier with professional design:

  • Regularly clean floors and benches to prevent water pooling

  • Check cabinets and pull-out hampers for moisture or damage

  • Ensure ventilation systems are functioning to avoid condensation and mold
