How We Handle Bathroom Renovation Plumbing
We follow a consistent, professional process on every job so you know exactly what to expect.
On-Site Consultation
We visit your property to understand your renovation plans, review the existing plumbing layout, and discuss what is feasible within your space and budget.
Plumbing Design
We map out the new pipe layout for water supply, drainage, and gas (if applicable) based on your new bathroom design. This ensures everything lines up with fixtures and tiles.
Rough-In Stage
Before tiling, we install all new pipe work, relocate drainage, and ensure the plumbing is correctly positioned for your chosen fixtures. This stage typically takes 1 to 2 days.
Coordination with Other Trades
We work around your tiler, waterproofer, and builder to ensure the plumbing schedule aligns with the overall renovation timeline. We can recommend trusted trades if needed.
Fit-Off and Handover
After tiling is complete, we return to install all tapware, basins, toilets, showers, and accessories. We test everything, clean up, and hand over your finished bathroom.

Tips for Planning a Bathroom Renovation
Practical advice from our licenced plumbers to help you avoid common issues and protect your home.
Get the plumber involved early in the planning stage. Moving drainage is possible but expensive. Keeping fixtures near existing drain locations can save thousands.
Choose your fixtures and tapware before the rough-in stage. Your plumber needs to know the exact specifications to position pipes correctly behind the walls.
Budget for the unexpected. Older homes, especially those built before 1980, often reveal corroded pipes, asbestos sheeting, or non-compliant plumbing once walls are opened up.
Ensure your waterproofing is done by a licenced waterproofer and inspected before tiling. Failed waterproofing is the most expensive bathroom renovation mistake and the hardest to fix.
Consider future-proofing. Adding a second toilet connection, pre-wiring for a heated towel rail, or roughing in for a freestanding bath costs very little during construction but a lot to retrofit later.
