The plumbing decisions that need to be made before the first tile is lifted.

Planning A Bathroom Renovation Without Surprises

Most bathroom renovation overruns are plumbing decisions made too late. Once tiling starts, moving a waste point costs several times what it would have cost on day one.

Decide the fixture layout first. The position of the toilet is the least flexible item, because the soil pipe needs fall and a short run to the stack.

Confirm your water pressure before choosing a shower. A rain head on low pressure produces a disappointing result no matter how good the fitting is.

Plan for isolation valves on every fixture. They cost very little during a renovation and they save a full house shut-off every time a tap needs a washer later.

Agree on where pipework will be concealed and where access will remain. A concealed cistern with no access panel becomes a wall-breaking job at the first fault.

We are happy to walk a planned bathroom with you before work begins and mark the points that need attention. Call 079 612 3046 to arrange a site visit.
