Bathroom Renovations Hornsby
Watertight, fixed price and on time, for Hornsby homes.
Empire Bathrooms handles bathroom renovations in Hornsby end to end, from demolition to handover, with its own licensed builder, plumber, drainer and waterproofer. Based a short drive away in Dural, just across the Galston Gorge, we rebuild dated bathrooms, ensuites and laundries for homes right across Hornsby and the wider Hornsby Shire, every one backed by a written 10-year leak-free guarantee.
A renovation you can actually relax through.
A bathroom is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your home. We built our entire business so the horror stories, leaks, creeping quotes, endless delays, never happen to you.
Our 10-year leak-free guarantee
Water damage is the most expensive thing that can go wrong in a bathroom and the most preventable. Because we hold our own waterproofing licence and never hand it to a subcontractor, we stand behind every membrane we lay with a written 10-year leak-free guarantee.
Our fixed-price guarantee
The price we quote in writing is the price you pay. No mid-project surprises, no “unexpected extras,” no awkward conversations. You’ll know your full investment before a single tile comes off the wall.
Our on-time guarantee
Your completion date, agreed and written into your contract from day one. Because every plumber, tiler, carpenter, demolition specialist and waterproofer is on our payroll, not a subcontractor we’re waiting on, we control the schedule, and you get your home back when we say you will.
Our trades, never subcontractors
The same trusted, full-time team from demolition to handover. No revolving door of subbies, no finger-pointing, no inconsistent quality. Just one accountable crew, led by a licensed builder and licensed plumber who started this company and still stand behind every job.
Renovating a bathroom in Hornsby
Hornsby is the hub of the Upper North Shore, a genuine town centre wrapped in bushland, where Westfield and the water clock in the Florence Street mall sit only a few minutes from streets that back onto Ku-ring-gai Chase and the Berowra Valley. It’s a suburb of two very different homes, and both keep us busy.
Established Hornsby homes on the leafy side of the line
West of the railway line, much of Hornsby is established houses on generous, tree-lined blocks, Federation and post-war homes around Hornsby Heights and the quiet streets near Lisgar Gardens, plenty of them with a pool out the back and a bathroom that’s original to the house. In homes of that age the waterproofing has usually done its dash, and a slow leak behind old tiles is the most expensive fault a bathroom can hide. Because we hold our own waterproofing licence, every renovation is re-waterproofed to Australian Standards and backed for ten years in writing. Where the room calls for it, we strip it right back to the frame and rebuild, which is everyday work for our trades.
Townhouses & Apartments
Units and apartments around the town centre
Closer to the station, Westfield and the cluster of towers now going up around the town centre, Hornsby has a big unit market, from older-style apartments due for an update to brand-new builds. Here the job is making a compact bathroom feel open and considered, full-height tiling, a wall-hung vanity and a frameless screen, delivered cleanly with the building’s strata rules and access handled for you. Older Hornsby units in particular tend to hide dated plumbing behind the walls, and having a licensed plumber on our own team means we deal with whatever turns up without waiting on a subbie.
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Hornsby?
As a rough guide, a complete bathroom renovation in Hornsby starts around $19,980 for a straightforward update and runs to $50,000 or more for a large or luxury bathroom with a reworked layout and premium finishes. What shifts the price is the size of the room, whether the plumbing moves, and the tiles, tapware and cabinetry you choose. Whatever it comes to, our fixed-price guarantee means the number in your written quote is the number you pay, full stop, with no surprise extras at the end. And if the timing isn’t ideal, our finance partner Innovative Financing often unlocks more equity than the big banks and takes the value your new bathroom adds into account in its valuations. Just ask us about payment plans.
