Websites for Melbourne bathroom renovation businesses, whether your week runs from a terrace in the inner north to a tower near the city, or from one new-estate ensuite to the next out west. Owners see your registration and class, rooms like theirs before and after, and what you need from them before the old tiles come off.
At the 2021 Census about two in three of Greater Melbourne's occupied homes were separate houses, one in six were semis, terraces or townhouses, and one in six were flats or apartments, almost half of those in blocks of four storeys or more. Each kind of home brings its own questions about a bathroom renovation. Your site should answer the ones that lead to the jobs you want.
Victoria has a domestic builder class limited to bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovation, and the Building Regulations confine it to rooms that don't extend beyond the home's existing external walls, floor or ceiling. We show your registered name, number and class on every page, link to the BPC's practitioner search, and leave work outside your class, such as an ensuite pushed out into the backyard, off the services list.
Victoria's Building Regulations exempt alterations from a building permit only where the work won't affect the building's structural soundness, change its floor area or height, or remove something holding up another part of it. Knocking out a wall to enlarge a bathroom can change both the paperwork and your price. The form asks about walls and layout, house or unit, which storey, parking and lift access, and takes photos of the room as it is.
Victoria's model rules apply wherever an owners corporation hasn't made its own rule on the point. Under them, a lot owner needs written approval before altering common property and must tell the owners corporation about renovations that may affect it or other residents' enjoyment of it. A page listing what you supply for that request (scope, insurance, work hours, how you protect lifts and corridors) helps the owner get a yes before your start date.
Captions along the lines of “Bathroom in a single-fronted terrace, Brunswick”, “Ensuite in a two-storey block of flats, Elwood” or “Main bathroom in a new-estate home, Tarneit”. A caption that names the house type tells a visitor straight away whether you've worked somewhere like their place. Add how many weeks the room was out of use and the gallery answers a question many owners ask next.
The Victorian regulations include a domestic builder class limited to waterproofing, and the floor and wall tiling class takes in waterproofing done as part of the tiling. Nobody sees the membrane once the tiles are laid, so name who puts it down, which class or licence they hold, the standard it follows and the paperwork the owner keeps after handover.
Victoria's asbestos website says a home built or renovated before 1990 likely contains asbestos, and lists wall linings behind and beneath bathroom tiles among the places it turns up. It also tells homeowners that once they engage someone their home becomes a workplace, and that the contractor has to identify asbestos before starting. A short note on how you check, and who removes it, settles the question at the quoting stage.
About three in ten Greater Melbourne homes were rented at the 2021 Census, including more than six in ten flats. Victoria's rental minimum standards already set rules for bathrooms, and new rules for showerheads and failed hot water systems start on 1 March 2027. A page written for property managers who look after several places helps them too: what you fit, how you arrange keys and access, and how long the bathroom is out of action.
Registration and classes. The Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC) registers builders in Victoria, and our page for Melbourne builders covers what a registered practitioner's advertising has to show and the Home Warranty scheme that began on 1 July 2026. Consumer Affairs Victoria says domestic building work costing more than $10,000, labour and materials included, needs a registered practitioner, and so does any building work that requires a permit, whatever it costs. A single trade on its own, such as tiling or plumbing, is outside that rule, but providing more than one type of building work above $10,000 is inside it, and a bathroom renovation brings several trades together. Besides domestic builder (unlimited), the Building Regulations list classes limited to bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovation, to waterproofing, and to floor and wall tiling, and the carpentry class also covers the bathroom, kitchen and laundry class's work. Plumbing is licensed by the BPC too; our Melbourne plumbers page explains the compliance certificate a licensed plumber issues for work over $750. Victoria's domestic building contract laws change by 1 December 2026, so on your site we'd link to the official guidance for contract terms rather than restate them.
Houses, terraces and towers. Greater Melbourne's 1.78 million occupied private dwellings at the 2021 Census weren't spread evenly. Flats made up 86 per cent of homes in the City of Melbourne, 67 per cent in Port Phillip and 53 per cent in Stonnington, but under 1 per cent in Casey, Cardinia, Melton and the Yarra Ranges, while in Yarra, semis, terraces and townhouses accounted for 38 per cent. Consumer Affairs Victoria says the owner of a flat, apartment or unit is likely to belong to an owners corporation, and a two-lot subdivision is one too, with fewer obligations. Where the owners corporation hasn't made its own rule, the model rules apply: no altering common property without its written approval, which can set out the works and conditions; notice of any renovation that may affect common property or other residents' use of it; and no unreasonable noise unless the owners corporation has given written permission. Building height matters for cover as well. The Victorian Government describes Home Warranty as applying to contracts over $20,000 on buildings of three storeys or less, and almost half of Greater Melbourne's flats were in blocks of four storeys or more.
Period homes and permits. Boroondara, for one, lists properties in its Heritage Overlay either individually or as part of a heritage precinct. Glen Eira's guidance says internal alterations need a planning permit under the overlay only where its schedule turns internal controls on, which most properties don't have, while external buildings and works usually need one; its exemption for domestic services normal to a dwelling applies only where they can't be seen from a street (other than a lane) or a public park. On that guidance, work inside a heritage house often needs no planning permit, and a new window or a vent on the street side is where the questions start. Separately, the Building Regulations' permit exemption for alterations doesn't extend to a building on the Victorian Heritage Register. Older bathrooms bring asbestos as well: Victoria's asbestos website names bath and shower surrounds, vinyl floor tiles and the backing on sheet flooring alongside wall linings behind tiles, notes that only a laboratory test confirms it, and says builders, plumbers and electricians generally aren't licensed to remove it.
Rentals. About 538,000 of Greater Melbourne's occupied homes, close to 30 per cent, were rented at the 2021 Census, including 62 per cent of flats and 41 per cent of semis, terraces and townhouses. Victoria's rental minimum standards call for a bathroom with a washbasin and a shower or bath connected to an reasonable supply of hot and cold water, a showerhead with a 3-star water efficiency rating (1 or 2 stars where an older property can't take one), adequate ventilation in the bathroom, shower and toilet, and rooms free from mould and damp caused by the building structure. Since 13 October 2026, rental providers have had to keep records showing their property meets those standards. From 1 March 2027, showers need a 4-star head at the start of a new agreement or when one rolls over to month-to-month (3-star where a 4-star can't be installed), and a hot water system that fails beyond repair has to be replaced with a heat pump or an electric-boosted solar unit.
Melbourne is a lot of ground to cover, from the inner north and the bayside suburbs to the west, the south-east growth corridor and the Mornington Peninsula. List the suburbs you'll quote in, say plainly whether you take high-rise work, and if your jobs divide between towers near the city and houses further out, the site can show both. WebCraft Studio is an Adelaide team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, and Melbourne renovators deal with us by phone and email. You send your own words about how you work, your registration details, photos and a suburb list; a draft link comes back for you to check between jobs, and the invoice only follows your approval.
We haven't built a site for a Melbourne bathroom renovator yet, and the Victorian client in our portfolio is Dr Tabara Dione Coaching, which coaches doctors. The two sites closest to your trade belong to Bright Building & Renovations, an Adelaide builder with a page for bathroom renovations, and M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas in Queensland, which lists them among its six services.
A renovation builder working across Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills and the Fleurieu, whose bathroom work has its own service page. Around it sit five planning guides, seven service-area pages, a gallery, an FAQ and a seven-step quote form: a structure that could carry a Melbourne business split between unit jobs and house jobs without crowding either.

We'd leave them off unless someone on the job holds a class that covers them. Victoria's Building Regulations limit that class to renovating bathrooms, kitchens and laundries that don't extend beyond the home's existing external walls, floor or ceiling. If you work with a builder who takes on extensions, the site can say so and name them. Check your own class with the BPC; we lay out what you tell us and what you approve.
Not as a blanket answer. Victoria's Building Regulations exempt alterations from a permit only where the work won't affect structural soundness, change the floor area or height, or remove something that supports another part of the building, so it depends on the job. Your site can explain who checks, whether you bring in a building surveyor when one is needed and how that moves the start date. We describe your process and link to official guidance.
What you need from the owners corporation, and when. Victoria's model rules require written approval to alter common property and notice of renovations that may affect it, and a building may have rules of its own on top. List the documents you provide, your work hours and how you protect lifts and corridors. If you work in towers, note that the Victorian Government describes Home Warranty as covering buildings of three storeys or less, and send owners to the BPC rather than describing cover yourself.
If rental work comes your way, we think so. From 1 March 2027, Victorian rental providers need showerheads of at least 4 stars (3 where a 4-star can't be installed) at the start of each new agreement or when one goes month-to-month, and a hot water system that fails beyond repair must be replaced with an efficient electric one. A page saying what you fit, how you work with agents on access and how long a refit usually takes speaks directly to that work.
Yes. It can ask whether the house is in a Heritage Overlay, with a link to VicPlan for owners who aren't sure, and whether any window, vent or fitting will change on the outside. Glen Eira's guidance, for one, says internal alterations need a planning permit under the overlay only where its schedule applies internal controls, and most properties don't have them; external works are another matter. The council gives the answer; the form just flags the job early.
Send us your BPC registration details and class, your own words about how you work, the suburbs you take bathroom jobs in and a handful of before-and-after pairs, and tell us whether units, terraces or new-estate homes keep you busiest. We quote first, build the draft, and you pay only when you're happy with it.
