    In answer – The bathroom tiles and bath are 73 years old.

    Wow!  Well the way I see it is that if you want to replace all the bathroom tiles then that’s fine, bearing in mind that the Owners Corporation is responsible for a portion of the work involving common property.  It seems reasonable for them to bear the cost of removing and refitting the bath if that affects warranty on the work, but the replacement bath itself should be at your expense.  If you want a fancier grade of tiles than those originally fitted any additional cost for that portion of the work should also be at your expense.  If the OC are happy to go ahead with your tradespeople that is a matter for negotiation between yourself and them, but they may ask for more than one quote and have to agree with you on what proportion each pays.  They should ensure the tradespeople are properly licensed and bear insurance cover.  If you can’t reach agreement with the OC then of course you can go through the mediation and adjudication process of NCAT.
