Modern bathroom

Where plumbers make or break a reno

The bad reno stories almost always come back to plumbing-tiler sequencing. Pipe centres out by 20mm, wastes in the wrong spot, mixers set too deep into the wall, toilet flange off the tile line — these are rip-it-out-again problems. We set out rough-in to millimetre tolerances, sign off each stage with your tiler, and handle the bits most GCs won’t touch.

  • Accurate setout — shower mixer centres, bath waste, toilet flange, vanity spindles
  • Hot-water recirc loops & dead-leg minimisation in kitchens
  • Waste pipe falls & vents done properly the first time
  • Strata and apartment stack connections
  • Coordination with tiler, waterproofer & carpenter
  • Fit-off with your tapware & toilet on handover day

Modern kitchen plumbing

Kitchens and laundries, too

Kitchens sound simple until you’re dealing with an island sink on a slab, a dishwasher that needs its own waste, and a filtered tap tree that’s six inputs to one mixer. Laundries mean waste, vent, hot, cold, appliance valves, and sometimes a troughless basin with a flick mixer. We do them both weekly — no surprises.

  • Island bench sinks & dishwashers
  • Filtered water taps & instant-boiling taps
  • European stacked washer/dryer connections
  • Laundry chutes, tubs & stone troughs
  • Butler’s pantry fit-outs

FAQs

Common questions about bathroom & kitchen plumbing

If you can’t see your question here, call us — we’re happy to talk it through.

Do you work under a builder, or direct?
Both. For full renovations we’re usually engaged by the builder, but happy to be engaged direct by the homeowner on smaller jobs where a GC isn’t involved. Either way, you get the same quote transparency.
Will you install tapware I’ve bought?
Yes — we install what you’ve chosen. We will flag it before install if we see a problem (bad quality, missing rough-in boxes, no spare parts in Australia) because fitting it anyway doesn’t help you long-term.
Can you rough-in before a bathroom is tiled?
That’s the norm. We rough-in to the tile setout so the tiler and waterproofer can do their work, then return for fit-off after tiling is done and grouted.
What about apartments and strata?
We do plenty. Apartment plumbing involves notifying strata, working within quiet hours, protecting common areas, and dealing with older stack connections — all of which we take in our stride.
How long is a typical bathroom rough-in?
One to two days for rough-in, then we’re off-site while tiling happens. Fit-off is half a day back on tools at the end. Kitchens vary from one day (minor refresh) to three (full new island + dishwasher + filtered tap).
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes — 12 months on workmanship for renovation work, and we honour all manufacturer warranties on fixtures we’ve supplied or installed.
