Laundry Renovations in Melbourne
Laundry Renovations in Melbourne That Earn Their Space
The laundry is the room every renovation budget raids last, and the one that quietly makes daily life harder for the next twenty years. A bench you cannot fold on. A door that fouls the machine. Nowhere for the basket that lives on the floor instead.
Dynamic Bros Renovations builds laundry renovations across Melbourne that fix the layout first and the finishes second. Custom cabinetry, durable benchtops, pull out hampers, drying rails that fold away and a sink positioned where you actually use it. As a registered builder we handle the plumbing, electrical, waterproofing and joinery under one contract, so a laundry renovation is a two to four week job rather than a rolling series of tradesmen.

Small Laundries and European Laundries
Not every Melbourne home has a laundry room. Plenty have a cupboard, a hallway nook or a corner of the garage. A European laundry, where the machine and dryer are stacked and concealed behind cabinetry doors, will fit into roughly 900mm of wall if it is planned properly.
The things that make a small laundry work are not obvious. A stacked washer and dryer needs a stacking kit and clearance above for the door swing. A benchtop over a front loader has to allow for vibration. Concealed laundries need ventilation designed in, not assumed, or you will have a mould problem within two years. We plan for all of it before the cabinetry is ordered.
What a Laundry Renovation Costs in Melbourne
Melbourne laundry renovations typically run from $18,000–$30,000. A surface level refresh with new tapware, sink, splashback and paint sits around $12,000–$18,000. A complete laundry with custom cabinetry, a stone or laminate benchtop, new flooring and updated plumbing usually lands at $18,000 to $30,000. Larger laundries with relocated plumbing, integrated storage walls and premium finishes go beyond $30,000.
Renovating a laundry at the same time as a bathroom is meaningfully cheaper than doing them separately, because the same plumber, waterproofer, tiler and cabinetmaker are already on site. If both rooms are on your list, do them together.
Why Melbourne Homeowners Choose Us for Laundry Renovations
Layout First, Finishes Second
Most laundry renovations fail on ergonomics rather than materials. We start with where the basket lands, where wet clothes go, and how far you carry them. Then we design the cabinetry around that.
Built for Water and Weight
A laundry takes more punishment than any other room in the house. Water resistant cabinetry carcasses, sealed edges, benchtops rated for the load of a full basket, and flooring that will not lift when the machine overflows. We specify for the ten year version of the room, not the photograph.
Done in Two to Four Weeks
Because we hold all the trades, a laundry renovation is a short, contained job. We can also run it alongside a bathroom renovation to save you a second round of demolition, waterproofing and tiling.

Our laundry Renovation Process
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. How much does a laundry renovation cost in Melbourne?
Most Melbourne laundry renovations sit between $8,000 and $25,000. A surface refresh with new tapware, sink, splashback and paint is around $5,000 to $8,000. A full laundry with custom cabinetry, a new benchtop, flooring and updated plumbing generally lands at $10,000 to $18,000. Relocating plumbing or building a full height storage wall pushes it higher. We quote fixed and itemised after an on site measure.
Q2. How long does a laundry renovation take?
Two to four weeks for most laundries. A straightforward refit is often done in two to three. Relocating plumbing, adding custom joinery or reconfiguring the room takes four to six weeks. Waterproofing needs curing time between coats, which sets the floor on how fast any wet area job can move.
Q3. Do I need a permit for a laundry renovation in Victoria?
Usually not, if you are replacing fixtures in the same positions and nothing structural changes. You will need a building permit if you are altering a load bearing wall, changing the building footprint or creating a new wet area where one did not exist, for example converting a cupboard into a laundry. Plumbing work always requires a licensed plumber and a compliance certificate. We assess this at quoting.
Q4. Can you fit a laundry into a cupboard or a small space?
Yes. A European laundry with a stacked washer and dryer concealed behind cabinetry doors will fit into roughly 900mm of wall if it is planned properly. The details matter: stacking kits and door clearance, allowance for machine vibration under a benchtop, and ventilation designed in rather than assumed. Concealed laundries without proper ventilation develop mould, and that is the most common problem we are called in to fix.
Q5. Should I renovate the laundry and bathroom at the same time?
If both are on your list, yes. The same plumber, waterproofer, tiler and cabinetmaker are already on site, so combining them is noticeably cheaper than two separate jobs and compresses the total disruption into one window instead of two. It also means the finishes can be specified to work together rather than matched after the fact.
Q6. What materials work best in a laundry?
Water resistant cabinetry carcasses with sealed edges, because a laundry gets wet in ways a kitchen does not. For benchtops, laminate is entirely adequate and cost effective, while natural or sintered stone gives you a surface you can put a hot iron near. Flooring should be fully waterproof, so tile or a quality vinyl plank rather than timber or laminate boards that will lift the first time the machine overflows.
Q7. Does a laundry need waterproofing?
Yes. Laundries are classified as wet areas under the National Construction Code and require waterproofing to the relevant Australian Standard, including the floor and the wall junctions. It is a smaller scope than a bathroom but it is not optional. You should receive a plumbing compliance certificate at handover, which we provide as part of our completion documentation.
