Bathroom Renovation Plumbing

The plumbing is the part of a bathroom reno you cannot cut corners on, because it disappears behind tiles. Terry handles the rough-in and the fit-off, works in with your tiler and waterproofer, and does it all to code. Licence L10959, Berala and Western Sydney.

A bathroom reno has two big plumbing stages. The rough-in comes first: moving and adding the pipework for your new layout, setting the drains and water points for the bath, shower, vanity and toilet where they need to go. This happens before the walls close up and the tiling starts, so it has to be right. Terry sets it out carefully and to code so everything lands where the fittings will sit.

The fit-off comes at the end, once the tiling and waterproofing are done. That is when Terry installs the new bath, shower, vanity, toilet, tapware and mixers, connects it all up and tests it for leaks. Done well, it looks clean and works properly from day one.

Renos are a team effort, and Terry is used to working in with your tiler, waterproofer and builder so the timing lines up and nobody is standing around. The waterproofing has to go on at the right stage, and the plumbing has to be ready for it, so a bit of coordination saves you headaches and delays.

Because it is just Terry, you are dealing with one licensed plumber the whole way through, not a rotating crew. He will look at your plans, talk through what is possible with your layout, and give you a fixed quote for the plumbing side before work starts. If you are moving fixtures to new spots, he will be straight with you about what is easy and what means opening up walls or floors. Call Terry on 0415 274 542 to talk through your reno.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between rough-in and fit-off?

Rough-in is the pipework and drains set behind the walls before tiling. Fit-off is installing the bath, shower, vanity, toilet and mixers at the end once tiling and waterproofing are done. Terry does both stages.

Can you move the toilet or shower to a new spot?

Often yes, but it depends on where the drains run. Moving a toilet or shower can mean opening up the floor or walls to shift the pipework. Terry will look at your layout and tell you honestly what is involved.

Do you work in with my tiler and waterproofer?

Yes. Terry is used to coordinating with tilers, waterproofers and builders so the stages line up. The plumbing has to be ready before waterproofing and tiling, so a bit of planning keeps the job moving.

How much does bathroom reno plumbing cost?

It depends on your layout, whether fixtures are moving and how much pipework changes. Terry quotes the plumbing side after seeing your plans, and you get a fixed price before any work starts.
