Showers and Basins Done Right
A bathroom here can be sixty years old or six, and both need a plumber who knows the difference. We repair, replace and fit out bathrooms in houses and flats across the peninsula.
What Bathroom Work Here Involves
Bathroom plumbing on this river bend splits into two very different jobs, and the building decides which one you get.
Older buildings
Federation houses south of Brunswick Street can still feed a modern bathroom through original galvanised pipe, so the new shower gets starved by a rusted line nobody renewed. We trace and replace those runs before fitting anything.
Flats and units
The last census counted 74.5 per cent of homes here as flats or apartments, and in the walk-up blocks one bathroom's leak becomes the neighbour's ceiling stain within hours.
Low-lying ground
The blocks down at the river edge rest on silty deposits, so ground-floor bathrooms near the water table need wastes and floor wastes kept clear, or a storm can push water back through them.
Tell us the building and the street, and we bring the right fittings for both.
What We Do in the Bathroom
From a single dripping shower to a full strip-out, this is the bathroom work we're called to most:
Shower repairs and replacements
We fix leaking shower roses, swap worn mixers, renew the pipework behind walls and replace tired washers in showers across houses and flats.
Basin and vanity plumbing
We install and replace basins and vanities, repair leaking wastes and traps, and connect new vanity units to old supply lines without opening more wall than needed.
Bath repairs and installs
We fix dripping bath taps, replace worn spouts and wastes, and install new baths, working around the access issues that come with older bathrooms.
Leaking shower rectification
We trace shower leaks to the body wash point, the tile bed or the mixer, and repair them before water ruins the timber or plaster below.
Bathroom renovations and fit-outs
We handle the full plumbing side of a renovation, from re-routing supply and waste to setting every fixture ready for the tiler.
Fixture upgrades and swaps
We replace old toilets, mixers and showerheads with water-efficient fixtures, matching period-style tapware to heritage interiors where the look matters.
Common Bathroom Problems
A Shower That Leaks Into the Ceiling
Water staining the ceiling below an upstairs bathroom usually traces to a failed body wash point or cracked tile bed, and a fast report keeps the repair small.
A Basin That Drains Slowly
Slow drainage in an older flat often means hair and soap building up in a waste run that has settled with the building, and clearing it restores full flow.
A Mixer That Drips Constantly
A worn cartridge lets water past even when the tap is off, and with most homes here rented, that drip runs up the owner's water bill week after week.
Pressure That Fades at the Shower
When an older house feeds the shower from a rusted galvanised line, the build-up inside chokes the flow, and a new copper run brings the pressure back.
Why It Matters
Bathrooms are where water, electricity and structure all meet, so small faults compound quickly:
Water damage travels down
With so many walk-up flats here, a shower leak upstairs soaks the ceiling and floor of the unit below, and the repair bill grows every day it waits.
Old pipes fail at the worst time
Galvanised lines and earthenware wastes in the older buildings tend to let go after decades of quiet service, usually at the joint you can't see.
Renovations live or die on the plumbing
A fit-out done over a rusted supply line or a badly graded waste fails within a few years, so we fix the bones before the tiles go on.

Bathroom Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4272Do you renovate bathrooms in pre-war New Farm houses?
Yes, we rework bathrooms in Queenslanders and Federation homes, replacing rusted galvanised pipe with copper, matching new fixtures to the period, and keeping the original layout and character of the home intact.
Who pays for bathroom plumbing in a New Farm rental flat?
The owner in most cases, because the pipes and fixtures are part of the property and most homes here are tenanted, so have the manager book us.
Can a leaking shower in a New Farm walk-up damage the flat below?
It can, because water works through timber floors and plaster ceilings, so report an upstairs shower leak early and get it sealed before the ceiling below stains.
Do I call Urban Utilities about a leaking shower?
No, the street mains and public sewer are Urban Utilities' job, but the owner looks after their own side of the connection, which is where we come in.
Why is my shower pressure weak in an older New Farm house?
Usually the supply pipe, because many pre-war houses here still run galvanised line that rusts shut from within, and we trace it and renew the run in copper.
