Bathroom Work Top to Bottom
The room gets used more than any other in the house, so mixers, wastes and seals here wear out first. Our plumbers look after showers, baths, basins, vanities, floor wastes and screens as one connected system.
Hill Villas and Tower Flats
This suburb runs two very different housing types side by side, and each one changes how a bathroom job is done.
On the hill
the pre-1940 villas were plumbed in galvanised iron, and decades of renovations have buried those runs behind newer wall linings. What looks like a quick mixer swap starts with an access question.
On the flats
the former wharf land beside the river is apartment towers now, and stacked bathrooms mean one burst flexi hose upstairs becomes a water stain on the ceiling below.
On the low ground
around Curtin Avenue West, the council maps the street for storm tide and river-rise, so a yard gully or floor waste there can hold water after a downpour when the outlets sit shut.
What We Fix in the Bathroom
Our plumbers carry the valves, cartridges and fittings both housing types call for, so most bathroom jobs finish in one visit, from a dripping mixer on the hill to a blocked floor waste in a tower:
Shower Repairs
We strip and reseat dripping mixers, swap out worn cartridges, rebalance hot and cold flow, clear slowly gurgling wastes and stop showers that keep running after the taps shut off.
Bath and Spout
Leaking spouts, taps that never quite close, slow bath drains and dripping bath fillers are all routine work, finished with the line pressure-tested, the drain flushed before we pack up.
Basin and Vanity
From a leaking basin mixer to a full vanity swap, we handle pop-up wastes, cracked bottle traps, loose basins and complete new bench installations with the plumbing signed off properly.
Floor Wastes
Smelly or slow floor wastes get cleared, flushed and refilled, and if the trap has silted out or the fall is wrong we quote the fix before touching a single tile.
Leaking Shower Screens
Water escaping at the wall joint or under the screen base gets traced right back to the source, then sealed or re-angled correctly so the recess dries out properly between showers.
Fixture Installations
New tapware, vanities, toilets and showers go in with the water cleanly reconnected, every joint carefully pressure-tested and the old fittings taken away when the whole job is finally done.
Common Bathroom Problems
Four faults account for most of our bathroom call-outs, and each one has a straightforward fix:
The Dripping Shower
A shower that keeps running after you turn it off usually has a worn cartridge or perished washers inside the mixer, which is a quick parts swap, not a renovation.
Water on the Floor
Puddles after every shower point to a failed screen seal or cracked grout letting water through, and sealing early keeps the wall framing and flooring underneath dry and structurally sound.
The Slow Basin
A basin that takes minutes to empty has thick hair and soap packed into the pop-up waste or trap, and clearing it early prevents the overflow that follows every rinse.
The Smelly Waste
A smelly floor waste usually has a dried-out water seal or debris caught below the grate, so see our tap repairs page, toilet repairs and blocked drains pages for help.
Why Bathroom Leaks Matter
Bathroom faults look small because the room is small, but the consequences travel through walls, floors and the ceilings of the flat below, so here is what is really at stake:
Hidden damage grows quietly
A slow shower leak soaks wall framing and floor sheeting silently, and the repair bill climbs long before a stain ever reaches paint or tile.
Bathrooms stack here
Flats and apartments made up 70 per cent of dwellings at the last census, so a leak in one bathroom often becomes somebody's ceiling problem the same week.
Small fixes stay small
A cartridge today costs a fraction of a re-waterproofed recess next year, and we will always tell you which side of that line the job sits on.

Bathroom Plumbing Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4119Does Urban Utilities cover any of the pipes in my bathroom?
The utility maintains the public sewer and the street water main, while whatever sits beyond the connection point is yours as the owner, making bathroom plumbing private licensed work.
Can the council's tide mapping affect bathroom drains near Curtin Avenue West?
It can, because the mapped low ground sits behind tide-affected outlets, so a heavy downpour can leave a floor waste holding water that carries odour back into the room afterwards.
Can a river flood damage my bathroom plumbing?
It can, because inundated ground settles in the seasons after a flood, which stresses buried joints, floor wastes and supply runs, so a post-flood check is worth booking before retiling.
Does Urban Utilities repair leaking shower mixers?
No, the utility's responsibility ends at the street main and the public sewer connection, while mixers and branch lines inside the building are private plumbing that we handle under our licence.
Can a heritage villa keep its original bathroom fittings?
Often yes, because many pre-1940 tapware and fixture patterns can be reconditioned, cleaned or sourced second-hand, and we only recommend replacement when the body of the fixture itself has cracked.
