Bennett's Bathroom Renovations is a family-owned, licensed bathroom renovation company servicing Maitland, East Maitland, Rutherford and the Hunter Valley, NSW,  offering fixed-price complete bathroom rebuilds backed by a 7-Year Workmanship Warranty and $500 On-Time Completion Guarantee.

Choosing a renovator in the Maitland area requires stability and intimate local knowledge that transcends standard building practices. We understand the specific construction nuances of homes across this region — from the older weatherboard and fibro properties in Central Maitland and Lorn that often present hidden moisture damage and outdated plumbing, to the newer brick and tile builds in Rutherford and Aberglasslyn where builders frequently cut corners on waterproofing during the initial construction. With 12 bathroom renovations already completed across the Maitland region, Bennett's Bathrooms knows the challenges your home presents before we even walk through the door.

Bennett's Bathrooms is a family team — Father and 2 Sons — that has been dedicated to the Hunter region for over four decades. We bring the stability and expertise that only 40+ years of combined experience can provide, having successfully completed over 700 local projects across the Hunter. This track record ensures we can accurately diagnose potential issues before they become costly problems, preventing mid-project structural surprises common in older Maitland homes built on the flood-prone Hunter River flats.

We are not a franchise; we are your neighbours. This local focus is why we can confidently offer a guarantee that others cannot: our industry-leading On-Time Completion Guarantee. When we say we will finish on time, we mean it. We use no subcontractors — our core, trusted team handles every part of your renovation, eliminating the common delays caused by trade coordination breakdowns. You get a direct line of communication with the owner, Matthew Bennett, from the first site visit to the final handover.

This direct accountability, combined with our commitment to superior materials, ensures compliance with the high standards set by the Maitland City Council for all residential renovations, especially those involving structural or wet area modifications. When you hire us, you hire a family, not a call centre.

East Maitland is one of the Hunter Valley's most sought-after suburbs — and for good reason. With its stunning 19th-century architecture, tree-lined streets, and a proud heritage dating back to 1833, this is a neighbourhood where homes carry real character and real value. Properties here aren't cookie-cutter builds. They're established, often heritage-listed residences with unique layouts, original features, and construction methods that demand a renovator who truly understands what they're working with.

That's exactly why Bennett's Bathroom Renovations is the right fit for East Maitland homeowners. Many of the older properties in this area — particularly those along the East Maitland Heritage Walk precinct and surrounding streets — feature ageing plumbing systems, original timber framing, and wet areas that were built long before modern waterproofing standards existed. Cutting corners in a home like this doesn't just risk a bad renovation — it risks damaging the structural integrity and heritage value of your property.

Our team has completed multiple renovations in the East Maitland area, and we approach every project with the care and technical precision these homes require. We understand that working in a heritage-rich suburb means respecting the character of the home while integrating modern functionality — upgrading outdated copper plumbing to PEX, installing compliant waterproofing systems, and designing bathrooms that feel contemporary without clashing with the home's original charm. Whether your property sits near Stockland Green Hills or backs onto the quiet streets near Nargoon Reserve, we tailor every renovation to suit the home, the suburb, and the homeowner.

East Maitland families invest in their homes because they plan to stay. A bathroom renovation here isn't a quick cosmetic fix — it's a long-term upgrade that should add real value to a property in one of the Lower Hunter's most desirable postcodes. That's why every East Maitland bathroom we deliver comes backed by our 7-Year Workmanship Warranty and our $500 On-Time Completion Guarantee. No subcontractors, no shortcuts, and no surprises — just quality work from a family team that respects your home as much as you do.



Full Strip-Out & Complete Custom Rebuilds

Our flagship service is the complete, high-integrity transformation of your existing bathroom space. This is a full-scale, structural renovation, stripping the room back to its bare studs and sub-floor to address any underlying issues like outdated copper or steel plumbing, or hidden water damage that may have accumulated over the years in older Maitland properties. This depth of work is essential for homes in Central Maitland and Lorn, where many properties date back decades and carry legacy plumbing and ventilation issues. We integrate your custom design with structural integrity, managing the demolition, advanced PEX plumbing, electrical rough-in, and final fit-out using only our own expert team. We meticulously plan every detail, from the precise placement of shower niches (always recessed for superior drainage) to the specification of WELS-rated tapware for water efficiency. The result is a brand-new bathroom guaranteed to meet all modern compliance standards and backed by our comprehensive 7-Year Workmanship Warranty.

Small Bathroom & Ensuite Maximisation

Renovating smaller bathrooms and en-suites requires clever design and precision planning to maximise the sense of space and functionality. We specialise in optimising tight footprints — a common challenge in the older cottages and semi-detached homes found throughout East Maitland and Telarah — by employing smart design solutions like walk-in showers with frameless glass (which visually expands the room), and the use of continuous flooring and large-format tiling to visually eliminate visual breaks. We consistently recommend wall-hung vanities and concealed cisterns to free up valuable floor space, making the cleaning process simpler and the room feel expansive. For lighting, we use strategic LED lighting, often incorporating mirrored cabinets to boost natural and artificial light reflection. Our systematic approach allows us to deliver high-quality, functional small-scale renovations efficiently and within a precise timeline. This focus on efficiency is part of why we can promise an on-time finish for your project, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine — often completed in just 4 weeks.

Future-Proof Accessibility & Mobility Upgrades

We design and construct accessible bathrooms that prioritise safety and long-term usability without sacrificing style. This commitment goes beyond simple rail installation. It involves creating level-entry wet rooms with custom linear trench drains for superior water evacuation, installing slip-resistant flooring compliant with Australian Standards (P4 or P5 rating), and strategically positioning reinforced walls for future or immediate grab rail installation. We consult directly with clients and their occupational therapists to ensure the final design accommodates specific mobility aids, such as wheelchairs or shower chairs, providing ample turning space and easy access to control valves. Our technical expertise in the Hunter area helps Maitland residents create bathrooms that allow for comfortable, dignified, and safe independent living for longer, integrating seamlessly into the home aesthetic.

What Our Customers Say About Their Bennett's Bathroom

"Matthew and his boys were absolute legends. They turned up when they said they would, kept the mess to a minimum, and finished our ensuite bang on the 4-week mark. The waterproofing was done properly and the tiling is spot on. Already recommended them to our neighbours." — Karen M., Kotara

"We got three quotes and Bennett's wasn't the cheapest, but they were the only ones who actually explained what needed doing with our old plumbing. Five weeks later we've got a beautiful bathroom that's built to last. Worth every cent." — David & Sue T., Charlestown

"After a bad experience with another mob who left our bathroom half-finished, Bennett's came in and sorted everything out. Professional from start to finish. Matthew even called to check everything was still going well a month after they finished. That's the kind of service you don't get anymore." — Greg R., Wallsend

Our Guaranteed 7-Stage Bathroom Renovation Process

Our process is the foundation of our $500 guarantee. Every step is managed internally by the Bennett family team to ensure absolute quality control, total transparency, and that crucial on-time completion.



1. Initial Consultation & Design: Matthew Bennett personally visits your Maitland property to discuss your vision, budget, and material selection. We spend significant time reviewing the contract's scope and timeline. We then provide a transparent, comprehensive, fixed-price quote with no hidden charges, along with a detailed 2D or 3D concept sketch of the proposed layout.
   
   
2. Scheduling & Material Preparation: We finalise the project calendar, securing all trade dates (plumber, electrician) before the first nail is hit. We place advance orders for all essential, long-lead materials (e.g., custom vanities, unique tapware) immediately and store them, guaranteeing they are ready before the start date, thereby eliminating a major cause of industry delays.
   
   
3. Demolition & Site Protection: The old bathroom is carefully and safely stripped out, often back to the frame and sub-floor. We install commercial-grade protection throughout your Maitland home (corflute floor coverings, reinforced dust barriers) and use covered waste skips. Our commitment to cleanliness minimises the impact of the renovation on your family life.
   
   
4. Plumbing & Electrical Rough-In: Our own licensed tradespeople install all new pipework (upgrading to PEX where possible for longevity) and wiring (power points, lighting, dedicated circuits for heaters) according to the finalised design and all current NSW standards. This critical phase is photographed and double-checked before the walls are ever closed up.
   
   
5. Waterproofing & Tiling (The Critical Stage): This is where our 7-Year Warranty begins its life. We apply a superior, flexible, fibre-reinforced two-part polyurethane membrane system, applying it in multiple, measured coats that extend well beyond the standard wet zone requirements. A mandatory flood test is carried out and logged. Our expert tilers then lay the selected materials using the latest levelling systems to ensure perfect flatness and flawless gradient fall to the waste, before applying epoxy-based grouts for maximum durability.
   
   
6. Fit-Out & Finishing: All major fixtures — custom vanity, high-efficiency toilet, frameless shower screen, mirrors, and lighting — are meticulously installed. We handle the delicate final plumbing connections, apply smooth, mildew-resistant silicon sealing, and polish all chrome/matte finishes. Every fitting is tested and checked against the original design specifications.
   
   
7. Final Handover & Warranty Activation: Matthew Bennett personally conducts a final walkthrough with you, ensuring every aspect meets your approval. We provide a maintenance guide, clear operational instructions for new fixtures, and hand over the final compliance certificates and the official documentation for your 7-Year Workmanship Warranty and On-Time Guarantee.
   
   

Our Dual Assurance: 7-Year Warranty and $500 On-Time Guarantee

Bennett's Bathroom Renovations removes the two biggest sources of stress for homeowners: poor quality craftsmanship and unpredictable project delays.

The 7-Year Workmanship Warranty: Real Protection

We offer a leading 7-Year Workmanship Warranty on all new bathroom installations. This goes significantly beyond the minimum statutory requirement and provides complete peace of mind, specifically covering the structural integrity, tiling adherence, and the critical waterproofing elements of our labour. This guarantee protects your investment against common failures like tile-grout degradation or moisture ingress, which is especially important in the Maitland area where seasonal humidity and the proximity to the Hunter River can accelerate deterioration in poorly waterproofed bathrooms. This written, transferable warranty reinforces the long-term value and quality of your Maitland home renovation, serving as tangible proof of superior standards for future buyers. Our paper trail ensures transparency and protects you legally.

The On-Time Completion Guarantee: Real Accountability

We promise, in writing, to complete your mid-sized renovation within 4 to 6 weeks of the agreed-upon start date. We manage the process tightly, using our in-house team to control the schedule completely. Our contract specifies the exact date and the exact penalty: If we fail to meet this guaranteed deadline, we will automatically pay you $500 as compensation for the inconvenience and added disruption. This is our serious guarantee that we respect your time and strictly adhere to the schedule detailed in your contract — a level of confidence only a family team can offer.

Straight Talk from Matthew Bennett: Why We Built Our Business Differently

As the owner of Bennett's Bathroom Renovations, I've been around the local trade in the Hunter for a long time. My Father and I saw a need for a reliable, no-nonsense service that put quality first and stopped ripping off honest homeowners who were often shocked by hidden subcontractor fees and chaotic timelines. We built this business on trust and the simple principle of doing what you say you're going to do.

Here in Maitland, we deal with a huge range of homes — from the character-filled older properties in Lorn and Central Maitland to the growing family estates in Rutherford, Aberglasslyn, and Bolwarra. Every house presents different, often tricky, challenges — whether it's dealing with the complex, sometimes failing, plumbing of a decades-old cottage, managing moisture issues in homes built on the lower-lying areas near the Hunter River, or addressing the shortcuts taken by volume builders in newer estates. This means a renovation here requires more than just good looks; it needs a technical approach and structural resilience that lasts. That's why we've built a reputation based on using our own trusted team and providing a 7-Year Warranty — a promise of quality that is simply not offered by most.

I personally oversee every project, from the initial consultation right through to the final handover. You deal directly with me or my sons, Vince and Andrew, every time. You will never have a stranger or a rotating cast of unchecked subcontractors turning up at your property. This direct control is the only reason we can confidently offer our $500 On-Time Guarantee. We manage the schedule, the quality, and the communication. We take the stress so you don't have to.

We know that a bathroom renovation is a big investment. It's a messy, necessary disruption, and you need a team that respects your time and your home. Our promise is simple: to deliver a beautiful, functional bathroom — on time and on budget. We've completed 12 renovations right here in the Maitland area and over 700 projects across the Hunter for local families who trust us because they know we are dedicated to this community, not just the bottom line. Give us a call. Let's discuss your project in Maitland, East Maitland, Rutherford, or anywhere across the Hunter. We'll give you a clear, fixed-price quote and a guaranteed start date.

Cheers, Matthew Bennett

Technical Excellence: Ensuring Your Bathroom Withstands the Maitland Climate

The most common and expensive failures in a renovation are invisible until it's too late. Our focus on the technical execution is what protects your home, ensures safety, and robustly supports our 7-Year Workmanship Warranty.

Waterproofing is Non-Negotiable: We treat waterproofing as the single most critical step, ensuring zero moisture ingress into your home's structure. We use a premium, flexible, fibre-reinforced two-part polyurethane membrane system, applying it in multiple, measured coats that extend well beyond the standard wet zone requirements, often using Laticrete or a similar superior product. We adhere rigorously to the Australian Standard AS 3940-2004, and our compliance forms are documented and provided to you. We ensure that correct floor gradients and concrete screeding are installed to direct all water to the waste, preventing the pooling that degrades grout and tiling over time. This is particularly critical in the Maitland region, where seasonal humidity and temperature swings can stress inferior waterproofing systems.

Plumbing and Corrosion Control: For plumbing, we typically upgrade older copper or galvanised steel lines to modern PEX piping, which offers superior corrosion resistance and flexibility — essential for older homes across the Maitland area. For fixtures, we specify taps and showerheads with excellent internal anti-corrosion components and WELS ratings, guaranteeing water efficiency without compromising water pressure.



Ventilation and Compliance: Adequate ventilation is essential to combat the high moisture levels in NSW and prevent mould, a significant health risk. We calculate the correct size and CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) required for your extraction fan and ensure it is properly vented externally (not just into the ceiling cavity), often using inline fans for superior performance. Furthermore, for any structural work or complex plumbing relocation — such as moving a toilet — we guarantee full compliance with Maitland City Council building codes and provide our licensing details upfront to ensure all modifications are legal and safe.
