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.
Weatherboard walls.
Reactive ground.
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.

Made Right, No Questions Asked
Bathrooms are one room of a bigger picture. Whole-of-house work sits with our residential plumbing service, and a hidden leak anywhere in the home starts with leak detection.
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.
