Laundry Renovations Sydney
Built for Apartments, Fixed Price
New cabinetry, benchtops, tiling and compliant waterproofing, sized for unit laundries. Strata handled, quoted per project.
Small room, real trade work
An apartment laundry renovation starts from $17,000 and is quoted as a fixed price per project. The room is small; the work is not. A laundry is a wet area, so the job carries the same discipline as a bathroom: waterproofing laid to AS 3740 by a licensed applicator where the work requires it, drainage and tapware done by licensed trades, and cabinetry built to survive humidity. Fine Touch Group has renovated more than 1,000 Sydney apartments since 1994, and the laundry is part of most of them.
In strata buildings the tier of work decides the paperwork. Replacing appliances, cabinetry and tapware in the same positions is usually cosmetic or minor work. Disturbing the waterproofing or moving plumbing makes it major work needing a special resolution and a registered by-law, and we handle that approval as part of the job. The full rules are in our strata approval guide.
If the goal is space rather than a nicer laundry, a concealed European laundry inside kitchen joinery can free up the whole room. We planned exactly that in our Artarmon apartment renovation, and it is quoted as part of a kitchen renovation.

View All Reviews on GoogleI'm so thrilled with the service Richard provided! From the moment I reached out for a quote to the very end, the communication was top-notch. Richard and his dad were absolutely brilliant, offering their expert advice to make sure everything was exactly as I wanted. Richard also went above and beyond to minimise any disturbance to my neighbours. The entire team of tradespeople were incredibly respectful and kept the site spotless. The kitchen looks absolutely stunning!
After conducting extensive research, I came across this company. They have demonstrated the utmost professionalism, diligence, and efficiency, consistently responding to our enquiries in a timely manner. Their attitude towards clients is genuinely commendable. If you are seeking a reliable contractor, I highly recommend their services.
Great duo of Richard and Claude at Fine Touch. They really transformed our kitchen to be an open, host-friendly space. Loved the finishing touches, their communication and speed. I don't know how many renovations actually finish on time, but these guys do well to schedule things! When things went sideways, they were always super quick to fix and communicate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a laundry renovation cost in Sydney?
Laundry renovations are priced per project. As a guide, an apartment laundry renovation starts from $17,000 with new cabinetry, benchtop, tiling and tapware. The number rises if plumbing moves or the floor needs new waterproofing. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do I need strata approval to renovate my laundry?
It depends on the work. Swapping appliances, cabinetry and tapware in the same positions is usually cosmetic or minor work. Anything that disturbs waterproofing or moves plumbing through the floor is major work under section 108 of the Strata Schemes Management Act, which needs a special resolution and usually a registered by-law. We work out the tier before you spend money on design, and we handle the approval.
Can you move my laundry into the kitchen?
Often, yes. A concealed European laundry inside kitchen joinery frees up a whole room in a small apartment. It needs water, drainage and ventilation in the new position, so it is planned as part of a kitchen renovation rather than a standalone job. Our Artarmon project did exactly this.
How long does a laundry renovation take?
A straight renovation in the same footprint usually takes 1 to 2 weeks on site. Add lead time for joinery and, in strata buildings, the approval and lift-booking windows. We give you the program with the quote.
