Questions to ask
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A typical full bathroom takes 2 to 4 weeks, including drying time for the waterproofing. Your pro will give you a schedule.
Is waterproofing covered by a warranty?
In NSW, residential building work comes with statutory warranties. Ask each pro what warranty they give on their waterproofing.
Can I use the bathroom during the work?
Not while it's being rebuilt. If it's your only bathroom, ask your pro about a temporary toilet or shower.
