Shower Repairs and Replacements
We repair or replace the fixture and the worn supply feeding it, from a seized tap body to a mixer that drips from the spout, and we test the flow properly afterwards.

Showers, Vanities and Wet Areas
Our bathroom work covers the whole wet area: showers, baths, vanities, floor wastes and the supply and drain lines behind them. It is general plumbing done properly, not a renovation sales pitch.
What Makes Bathrooms Different Here
Old supply lines
Both the pre-war core towards the Sandgate Road end and the post-war streets further out were plumbed in the era before PVC, so an unrenovated bathroom might still draw water through original galvanised steel, corroded inside until it is almost blocked.
Clay branch drains
War Service and Housing Commission bathrooms of the 1940s and 1950s drain into earthenware runs laid in short jointed lengths, so what goes down the new vanity has to clear old pipe with many joints.
Character overlay
The council's pre-1947 dwelling character overlay takes in a large share of the older houses here, so a refit in a pre-war weatherboard usually means working new fixtures around original linings.
Creek-edge ground
Downfall Creek bounds the north and Kedron Brook the south, and the swampy ground along the brook keeps a shallow water table, which can complicate drainage work at the low end of the suburb.
What We Do in Your Bathroom
The bathroom plumbing work we carry out across this suburb and its neighbours:
- Shower repairs and replacements: mixers, roses, taps, and the supply lines feeding them
- Bath and vanity installations: new units plumbed in, old ones swapped out
- Floor waste and drain repairs: grates, traps and the branch lines under the floor
- Leak tracing and repair: hidden leaks behind walls and under floors
- Fixture swaps and refit plumbing: full pipework and fit-off for a renovated bathroom
- Pressure and flow fixes: from weak showers to pipes hammering behind the wall
Bath and Vanity Installations
New baths, basins and vanities get connected to the existing supply and waste, old units come out cleanly, and the connections are made good before the room is handed back.
Floor Waste and Drain Repairs
Floor wastes that smell, hold water or seep into the subfloor get stripped, resealed or replaced, and we check the branch drain below while the floor is still open.
Hidden Leak Tracing
A damp patch on a ceiling below or a stain spreading along a wall usually means a failed joint or cracked line, which we trace before any tiles come off.
Refit Pipework and Fit-Off
A renovation gets its full plumbing package: new supply and waste runs positioned to plan, fixtures fitted off at the end, and everything pressure-tested before the tiler finishes.
Pressure and Flow Work
Weak flow at the shower often traces to the supply rather than the fixture, so we measure what is actually arriving at the room before recommending a single replacement part.

Common Bathroom Problems
The Dripping Mixer
Cartridges and washers wear out with use, and a drip that runs all night wastes water and money. A cartridge swap or a reseated body stops it the same visit.
The Slow Floor Waste
Hair, soap and years of residue build up in the trap and the branch line beyond it. Clearing the waste and flushing the line restores drainage without touching the tiles.
The Lukewarm Second Shower
When the tank refills at a crawl, the second bathroom in line gets the tepid end of the supply. We check the tank and the supply before anyone starts replacing fixtures.
The Smell From the Floor
A dry or poorly sealed floor waste lets sewer air back into the room. Restoring the water seal and resealing the grate fixes a smell that no cleaning will touch.
Why Bathroom Work Matters
Water damage costs more than plumbing
A slow leak behind a shower wall rots framing and flooring for months before it shows, and the repair bill then includes a builder, not just a plumber.
Small faults point at bigger ones
A dripping mixer or a gurgling floor waste is often the first visible sign of pressure or drainage problems further down the line, which is why we check beyond the fixture.
Refits are one-shot jobs
Once the tiles go on, the plumbing behind them is sealed away, so getting the pipework and the waterproofing coordination right the first time is the whole game.

Repair, replace or refit
We shut down and drain the lines, carry out the repair or the new pipework, and test supply and drainage under load before the room goes back together, because a bathroom has to hold water where it should and shed it where it should not.

Bathroom Plumbing Questions Answered
Call (07) 3522 5623Do you repair showers in houses under the pre-1947 character overlay in Wavell Heights?
Yes, and where you want the original feel of a pre-war room kept we pick fixtures to suit it, because the council's 1947 protections still cover much of this suburb's older housing.
Who owns the pipes my Wavell Heights bathroom drains into?
Urban Utilities looks after the sewer main and the connection at your boundary, and everything on the house side of that point is the owner's to maintain, so we find where the fault sits before anyone digs.
Why is the shower pressure weak in our older Wavell Heights house?
A house still running its first galvanised steel service has a bore closed by decades of scale, and no showerhead swap fixes that, so the supply gets tested before the fixture gets blamed.
Can a bathroom refit in Wavell Heights be done room by room?
Yes, and staging the work keeps one bathroom usable, which matters in a suburb where the last census counted 41.2 per cent of houses with four or more bedrooms.
Do you handle the waterproofing side of a Wavell Heights bathroom renovation?
We handle the pipework and the fit-off and work alongside your waterproofer and tiler, because a failed wet-area seal shows up as a leak long after the tiles have gone on.
