Bathroom Renovations Brisbane

Your Bathroom Renovation Partner in Brisbane

Planning a bathroom renovation can be exciting, but the plumbing side is where things can get tricky. For most Brisbane homeowners, bathroom renovations often mean moving pipes, upgrading fixtures, and making sure everything is up to code. If the plumbing isn’t done right, it can lead to leaks, drainage problems, and expensive long term issues. Our expert team handle every part of the plumbing work to keep your project running smoothly. We guide you through what plumbing is involved, how we manage the technical side, and how we help create a bathroom that works as good as it looks.

What Plumbing Goes Into a Bathroom Renovation?

When you think about bathroom renovations, you probably picture new tiles and shiny fixtures. But behind those walls and under those floors, a lot of important plumbing work happens. Our local Brisbane plumbers will explain the specific plumbing tasks involved in a bathroom reno. This helps you know exactly what to expect.

Here are the main plumbing parts of a bathroom renovation:

Moving or Upgrading Pipes (Rough-Ins): This means changing where your water supply lines and drainpipes go. It happens to fit your new bathroom layout or to replace old pipes. This "rough-in" step is super important. We install all new hot and cold water lines and waste pipes inside walls or under floors before any fixtures go in. This is a good chance to fix old drainage problems or low water pressure by upgrading to modern plumbing systems.
Installing New Toilets, Sinks, Showers, and Taps: Plumbers handle putting in all the main bathroom items. This includes putting in toilets (or moving them), vanities and sinks, showers, bathtubs, and tapware. For example, moving or adding a toilet needs a lot of new pipes and must be done by a licensed plumber. We can replace old fixtures or put in new, modern ones as part of your renovation. We seal all connections, set up traps and drains correctly, and connect fixtures to your hot water system or gas lines as needed.
Making Sure Plumbing is Safe and compliant to Local Regulations: Our services also cover the hidden parts. This means proper waterproof sealing around where pipes go through walls, putting in needed valves (like tempering valves to keep hot water safe at 50°C), and making sure drains have good airflow. We always make sure all work meets Australian standards and local building rules. This keeps your investment safe. Only licensed plumbers can do this work legally and safely.
Hot Water and Special Things: If your bathroom renovation involves getting a new hot water system or adding something like a spa bath, we include that. "Installing modern functions" can mean things like dual shower heads, toilets with tanks inside the wall, or even heated towel rails that need plumbing. If you need a gas instant hot water system, our gas fitters can move or install gas lines for it.

By explaining all these parts, we show you that a plumber's job in a renovation is complete from putting in the first pipes to installing the final taps. Experts fully manage the plumbing side of your renovation. This helps you know what to expect and ensures your renovation goes smoothly.

Our Bathroom Renovation Process

Many homeowners worry about managing different workers during a renovation. When you choose us for your bathroom renovation, you won't have to juggle many contractors. We work well with builders, tilers, electricians, and others for a smooth project. We schedule our plumbing work at the right times. We do the rough-in after demolition but before walls are put up or tiled. Then we come back for the final fixture installation once tiling and painting are finished.

Sometimes, we can even help manage your whole bathroom renovation project or suggest trusted workers if you need them. This makes us a one-stop shop. We help put together a schedule for your project and make sure there are no problems for other trades. We can even recommend trusted people if you ask. This kind of complete service is a big plus, especially if you want a renovation managed by a professional without stress. Even if we don't handle all the different workers ourselves, we promise to work closely with anyone on the job to keep your project on track and on time.

What to Expect From Our Bathroom Renovation Plumbing Process

We like to walk you through what happens during your bathroom renovation. This helps you understand our organized way of working and sets clear expectations. Here's what that looks like:

First Chat & Free Quote: We start by looking at your home or talking in detail about what you need. This first chat is often free. We listen to your ideas (like changing the layout or the style you like) and give expert advice. We make sure to offer a solution that fits your specific needs and give you a fixed quote. This way, you know the cost upfront.
Planning & Permits: If your renovation is big (like moving walls or plumbing spots), we help with the design and any needed building permits. Most bathroom plumbing jobs in their existing space won't need council approval. But if big changes or new parts need permits, we guide you through it. In this step, we also decide on the final fixtures and order materials.
Taking Things Out & Getting Ready: Here, the old fixtures are removed. If it's a full renovation, tiles and maybe walls or floors are taken out by the right workers (sometimes by a builder or our team). Plumbers might turn off water lines and make sure the area is safe for building.
Putting In New Pipes (Rough-In): Once the space is ready, our plumbers put in new pipes, drains, and any plumbing inside walls or under floors. This is a very important part. Pipes for sinks, showers, baths, toilets, and other water spots are set up based on your new design. We use good quality materials and follow standards at this stage to stop future leaks. After the rough-in, any needed inspections are done. Then the walls and floors go in (by builders/tilers).
Installing Fixtures & Final Checks: After tiling and painting, we come back to install and connect all the fixtures (toilet, taps, shower head, vanity, etc.). We hook up the hot water and test everything. We do a complete final test to check for leaks, make sure water drains right, and check water pressure. Our team will also make sure your bathroom is clean and ready to use.
Cleanup and Handover: We make sure to leave the work area tidy and take away old fixtures or trash. Homeowners really like this. Then, we show you your new bathroom and give you any needed paperwork or warranty details.

We plan every step to keep your bathroom renovation smooth and on time. Most projects take 2–4 weeks, with small updates done in about a week and full remodels up to 6 weeks. We minimise disruption to the rest of your plumbing and update you quickly if any hidden issues come up. Our 24/7 support during the build helps keep your project running on schedule.
