Plumbing for your bathroom renovation

The plumbing is at the heart of any bathroom renovation, and getting it right is essential, because much of it is hidden behind waterproofing and tiling, where a leak or a mistake is expensive to put right later. We handle the complete plumbing side of a bathroom renovation, from the rough-in (the pipework and drainage behind the walls and under the floor) to the final fit-off (installing and connecting the taps, basin, toilet, shower and bath). We work to the standard and test everything leak-free. Whether you are updating one bathroom or renovating several, we provide the plumbing expertise to get it done properly across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with an upfront fixed price.

Rough-in and fit-off

Bathroom renovation plumbing happens in two main stages. The rough-in is done early, before the walls are closed up and the floor is laid, running the water supply pipes and the drainage to the right positions for the new layout, the shower, bath, basin, toilet and any other fixtures. The fit-off is done near the end, after tiling and waterproofing, installing and connecting the fixtures and tapware. Getting the rough-in right is critical, because the pipework positions determine where everything goes, and they are set before the tiling. We carry out both stages, coordinated with the build, so the plumbing is correctly positioned, connected and tested.

Relocating fixtures

Many bathroom renovations involve changing the layout, moving the shower, bath, basin or toilet to new positions, which means relocating the water supply and drainage to suit. Moving a toilet in particular requires running the waste to the new position with the correct fall, and moving a shower or bath involves relocating the drainage and waterproofing. We can relocate fixtures as part of your new bathroom layout, running the pipework and drainage to the new positions to the standard. This lets you design the bathroom you want rather than being constrained by the existing plumbing. We handle the relocation of fixtures and their plumbing, so your new layout works and is correctly plumbed.

Showers and waterproofing

The shower is one of the most important parts of a bathroom to get right, because it is a wet area where leaks and poor drainage cause serious problems. We install the shower drainage (the waste and, for a modern look, linear or point drains), the shower mixer and head, and ensure the drainage falls correctly so the shower drains properly. The plumbing must coordinate with the waterproofing, which is critical, the waterproofing membrane protects the structure from the water, and our plumbing work is done to integrate with it. We work in with your waterproofer so the shower is both correctly plumbed and properly waterproofed, avoiding the leaks that poorly done showers suffer.

Baths, basins and toilets

We install and connect all the bathroom fixtures: freestanding and built-in baths, with the correct drainage and taps or fillers; basins and vanities, connecting the tap, waste and supply; and toilets, connecting the water and waste and sealing them to prevent leaks and smells. We fit the tapware, mixers and fittings to match, and seal and test everything leak-free. Whether you are installing a freestanding bath as a feature, a wall-hung vanity, a modern toilet suite, or all of these, we install them correctly and connect the plumbing properly. We can fit fixtures and tapware you have chosen or supply quality ones to suit your renovation and budget.

Coordinating with your trades

A bathroom renovation involves several trades, the builder, tiler, waterproofer, and often an electrician, and the plumbing has to fit in at the right stages, the rough-in before tiling and waterproofing, the fit-off after. We coordinate with your other trades so the plumbing is done at the right time and the renovation runs smoothly, without hold-ups or rework. Good coordination is part of what makes a renovation go well, and we are used to working in with builders and other trades. Whether you are managing the renovation yourself or working with a builder, we slot the plumbing into the schedule at the right points, so everything comes together properly.

Electrical work: lighting and fans

A bathroom renovation also involves electrical work, lighting, power points, an exhaust fan or a 3-in-1 heater-light-fan, and sometimes underfloor heating, and we can handle this too with our licensed electricians. Getting the ventilation right is particularly important, a properly sized, ducted exhaust fan removes the steam that causes mould, keeping your new bathroom fresh and protecting the finishes. We coordinate the electrical work with the plumbing and the rest of the renovation, so your new bathroom is fully finished, well-lit, warm and properly ventilated, with both the plumbing and electrical done to the standard. One team handling both keeps it simple.

Fixtures and tapware

Choosing the fixtures and tapware is a big part of a bathroom renovation, and we are flexible, we can install fixtures and tapware you have chosen and purchased, or recommend and supply quality items to suit your design and budget. There is a huge range of baths, basins, toilets, showers, mixers and finishes, and choosing quality items that suit your bathroom and will last matters. We can advise on what works well and fit it correctly. Whether you have selected everything yourself or want guidance and supply, we install the fixtures and tapware properly, connected and sealed, so your new bathroom looks the part and functions flawlessly.

Doing the plumbing to standard

Bathroom plumbing must be done to the standard, correct pipe sizing and falls, proper connections, compliant fixtures, and everything tested leak-free, because it is a wet area with much of the plumbing hidden behind tiling and waterproofing. A leak or a drainage fault in a finished bathroom is expensive and disruptive to fix, so getting it right during the renovation is essential. We install and test all the plumbing to the standard, so there are no leaks or drainage problems once the bathroom is finished. This is a key reason to have a licensed plumber do your bathroom renovation plumbing, rather than cutting corners that cause problems behind the finished surfaces later.

Common renovation plumbing upgrades

A renovation is the ideal time to address plumbing upgrades while the bathroom is open. Common ones include upgrading to a modern mixer and a water-efficient toilet and shower head, improving the water pressure or fitting a pressure-limiting valve if pressure is an issue, replacing ageing pipework while the walls are open, and improving drainage. It is also the time to get the ventilation right. Doing these during the renovation is far cheaper and easier than retrofitting later. We can advise on worthwhile plumbing upgrades to include in your renovation, so you end up with a bathroom that is not just new-looking but works better, more efficiently and more reliably than the old one.

How much does the plumbing cost?

The cost of the plumbing for a bathroom renovation depends on the size of the bathroom, how much the layout changes (relocating fixtures adds work), the number and type of fixtures, and whether you supply them or we do. A straightforward refresh keeping the layout is less than a full reconfiguration with relocated fixtures. We assess your renovation plans and give you an upfront fixed price for the plumbing work, so you know the cost as part of your renovation budget. We will explain what the plumbing involves at each stage, rough-in and fit-off, so there are no surprises, and the plumbing side of your renovation is clear and properly budgeted.

Working to your schedule

Renovations run to a schedule, and the plumbing needs to happen at the right points, the rough-in early, the fit-off late, without holding up the other trades. We work to your renovation schedule, attending for the rough-in and fit-off at the right stages and coordinating with your builder and other trades, so the project keeps moving. We understand that delays by one trade hold up the whole job, so we are reliable with timing. Whether it is a tight renovation timeline or a larger project, we fit the plumbing into the schedule and get our stages done on time, so your bathroom renovation progresses smoothly from start to finish.

Jordan is an amazing person he did an excellent job for my hot water service. The taps were leaking and he fixed the leaking taps. His service was very good.

Ellie D

Very pleased with the service I received by Dom, Diego and Jordan. Communication was excellent. The job was done extremely fast (same day as the quote was done), and the ceiling fans that were being installed look fantastic. I was especially impressed with Dom, who when faced with a obstacle during the install, he came up with a solution which allowed the job to go ahead. Highly recommend.
