What we do in the bathroom

Six jobs cover most of the bathroom call-outs we get:

Showers, baths and mixers

Leaking showers, failed mixers and tired bath fittings repaired or replaced, with work suited to the brick veneer and weatherboard construction that makes up nearly every home in this 1960s-to-1980s suburb.

Vanities, basins and hoses

New vanities and basins connected, taps and wastes fitted, and ageing braided hoses under the cabinet swapped before they split and dump water through the floor cavity in minutes.

Toilets and cisterns

Running cisterns fixed, in-wall suites serviced and old pans swapped for water-efficient models. Where a full replacement is the better answer, the job moves across to our toilet replacement service.

Renovation plumbing from studs to fit-off

Ensuite and bathroom renovation plumbing from bare studs to finished fixtures: rough-in, set-out and the final fit-off, sequenced so the tiler and other trades are never standing around waiting on the plumber.

Hidden leaks behind shower walls

Leak detection gear traces damp patches and dropping pressure behind shower walls and under slabs, finding the failure before tiles come off and before the damage spreads through the frame.

Floor wastes and shower drainage

Slow floor wastes and gurgling shower drains camera-checked, because the 1970s streets here were sewered in vitrified clay and the fault often sits in the line rather than the grate.

What the housing here means for bathroom work

The bathrooms on this hill mostly date to one long build push, and the housing throws up three patterns we plan around.

Original 1970s bathrooms.

First-generation homes often still run their earliest fixtures and set-outs. Parts for older mixers and cisterns are usually still available, so a repair frequently beats a replacement, and we'll say so when it does.

Weatherboard walls.

A good share of the suburb's homes are weatherboard rather than double brick. That cuts both ways: pipework inside a weatherboard wall is easier to reach, but the cavity needs careful work so water never tracks where it shouldn't.

Reactive ground.

The hillside runs on reactive clay and shale, and that soil swells and shrinks with the seasons. Over decades the movement can crack a shower base or open a joint in the drain below the floor, so a bathroom symptom sometimes has its cause in the pipework. When the signs point downhill, we camera the line before anyone reaches for a hammer, and the drainage crew takes over if the fault sits in the sewer rather than the fixture.

Ensuites from the renovation years

The 1990s and 2000s renovation cycles added ensuites right across the hill, and most of them were fitted with braided flexi hoses that have quietly passed their use-by date.

A hose that splits under a vanity doesn't announce itself; it just lets go. If your ensuite plumbing hasn't been looked at since the room was built, a quick check of the hoses and connections is worth the call.

And if one has already let go, our emergency plumbing crew treats a burst hose as the urgent call it is.

Repair now, renovate when you're ready

Plenty of bathroom calls need nothing more than a same-visit fix. A running cistern, a stiff mixer or a slow floor waste usually falls into that category, and we'll tell you honestly which one your job is.

When a bigger re-fit is on the cards, the plumbing scope gets priced on its own so you can plan around the tiler's schedule.

If the bathroom work connects to something wider, like a hot water unit nearing retirement, we flag it and quote it separately. Hot water lives on our hot water hub, and kitchen sink and appliance work on the kitchen plumbing page.

Bathroom plumbing questions we hear

Can you plumb a second bathroom or ensuite?

Yes. Rough-in, set-out and fit-off for a new bathroom or ensuite is standard work for us, and the whole plumbing scope gets priced in writing before any wall closes up.

What about bathrooms in weatherboard homes?

Weatherboard walls actually make pipe access easier than brick veneer does. We work through the cladding carefully, so a repair inside the wall cavity never leaves water tracking where it shouldn't.

Can you fix a leaking shower without retiling?

Often, yes. If the fault is the mixer, the waste or the spout, we swap the fitting. If water is getting past the waterproofing, we tell you straight before tiles come off.

Why does my shower drain smell?

Usually a dried or damaged trap, or a floor waste holding soap and gunk. On the older streets it can point to clay pipework below, so we check the line if it returns.

Do you handle the waterproofing as well?

Waterproofing sits with the tiler or a dedicated waterproofer. We handle every plumbing part of the bathroom and finish our stage on time, so the other trades are never waiting on us.

How does pricing work on a renovation?

You get a written quote for the plumbing scope before anything starts, and nothing proceeds until you approve the figure. The call out itself costs nothing, on renovations and small repairs alike.
