The Plumbing Is What Makes or Breaks a Bathroom Reno
A bathroom renovation is one of the most plumbing-heavy jobs in a house, and it's the part that's hardest to fix once the tiles are on the wall. If a shower waste sits in the wrong spot, or the floor falls the wrong way, or a mixer's rough-in is set at the wrong height, you're pulling apart new tiling and waterproofing to put it right. That's expensive, and it stalls everyone else on the job.
Older homes through the hills bring their own headaches. Once the walls come off, it's common to find tired galvanised pipe, undersized drains, or dodgy previous work hiding behind the plaster. It's far better to know about that before the tiler arrives than to have it surface as a leak six months after the reno's finished.
The other thing that trips renovations up is timing. Your bathroom relies on the plumber, tiler, waterproofer, and builder all hitting their stages in the right order. Miss a rough-in window and the whole job sits idle waiting on trades.

The Full Plumbing Scope, Rough-In to Fit-Off
We take care of the plumbing side of your bathroom reno from start to finish, working in alongside your builder, tiler, and waterproofer. At rough-in we set the drains, floor wastes, and water supply lines for your new layout, whether that means relocating a shower, moving the vanity, or shifting the toilet to a completely new position. We get the falls right, position the floor waste where it needs to be, and coordinate with your waterproofer so nothing holds up the tiling.
Wall-hung vanities, concealed cisterns, and wall-mounted mixers all need their rough-in set precisely before the walls close up, and that's where getting a licensed plumber in early pays off. When the tiling's done we come back for the fit-off, connecting your tapware, mixers, shower, bath, toilet, and vanity, and testing everything so you're left with a bathroom that works exactly as it should.
While the walls are open, it's the ideal time to upgrade any old pipework we find, so you're not paying to break into fresh tiling down the track. All work is carried out to current Australian standards and complies with Victorian building regulations, with a compliance certificate on completion.

Ben communicated extremely well both by email and text and during the time he arrived to install an upgraded toilet. He explained very clearly three options I had and gave pricing for each. Will definitely use Ben for any future plumbing work and can thoroughly recommend his work and reliability.

Benjamin was very friendly and approachable from the first visit. He explained the issue clearly and repaired our leaking roof to a high standard. Highly recommend his work. Lovely guy to deal with!
Google - Woan Chen Home Owner
Benjamin was very holistic in his inspection and provided a detailed report after checking the roof. I had a roof leak that was causing the power to trip, and he helped identify the areas that needed fixing. He also clearly identified other areas of concern that could lead to major issues down the track. Very helpful and honest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bathroom renovation plumbing happens in two main stages. At rough-in we set the drains, floor wastes, and water supply lines for your new layout before the walls close and tiling starts. At fit-off, once the tiling and waterproofing are done, we connect and test your tapware, mixers, shower, bath, toilet, and vanity. In between, we coordinate with your builder, tiler, and waterproofer so each stage happens in the right order.
Yes. Moving fixtures to a new position is one of the most common parts of a bathroom reno. It means repositioning the drain and water supply and, for a toilet, the waste, all of which is set at the rough-in stage before tiling begins. We'll look at what's involved with your existing setup and give you a clear quote before starting.
Yes. We're used to working alongside builders, tilers, waterproofers, and cabinet makers on bathroom renovations. We coordinate our rough-in and fit-off around the rest of the job and communicate clearly so the project keeps moving and nothing sits idle waiting on plumbing.
Yes. Wall-hung vanities, concealed cisterns, and wall-mounted mixers need their rough-in set precisely before the walls close up, so it's important to have a licensed plumber involved early. We set the framing connections and pipe positions to suit your chosen fixtures, then complete the fit-off once the walls are tiled.
It's usually the smart move. In older hills homes we often uncover tired galvanised pipe or undersized drains once the walls are open. Replacing it while everything is exposed is far cheaper and less disruptive than breaking back into new tiling later. We'll let you know what we find and what we'd recommend before doing any extra work.
