Showers and Baths
We repair and replace shower roses, mixers, drains and bath fittings, and we trace pressure and temperature faults back to the supply line behind the wall or under the floor.
Grange Plumber handles every bathroom job in Grange, from a dripping shower rose to a full renovation rough-in, with licensed plumbing and gasfitting under QBCC No: 15024607 and a fixed quote before work starts.
If we're late, $100 comes off your bill

Everything we cover sits under general plumbing, alongside tap repairs, toilet repairs and leak detection when the fault is hiding.

Showers, baths, basins and the drains beneath them: here we cover what we fix, what fails first in the older houses here, and the way a visit unfolds from your first call through to a tested, dry bathroom.

This suburb's bathrooms carry their age in the walls and under the floor, and that age shapes nearly every job we book here.
The housing stock went up largely between the wars and again in the post-war decades, weatherboard and brick across the ridge. Supply lines from those builds are galvanised steel, and the drains beneath are vitrified earthenware, so a renovation that opens a wall or floor rarely stops at the fixture.
At the last census, 47.8 per cent of homes here held four bedrooms or more, and large family houses of that kind gained second bathrooms and ensuites as the families grew. Those later additions often sit at the end of long pipe runs.
Blocks on the slopes above Kedron Brook carry a hard fall, which sets the levels a bathroom waste line can achieve and makes the fall worth checking whenever a shower floor comes up.
One room, four kinds of work, and each one starts with finding the true fault rather than selling you a fixture you do not need:

We repair and replace shower roses, mixers, drains and bath fittings, and we trace pressure and temperature faults back to the supply line behind the wall or under the floor.

From a basin that will not drain to a mixer dripping inside the vanity, we clear, reseal and replace, and we check the flexi hoses underneath before they let go.

We clear slow floor wastes, reseat loose grates and trace gurgling bathroom drains back to the earthenware line under the house, so the water leaving your shower keeps on moving.

Planning a reno? We rough in new supply and waste lines, set out tap positions and coordinate the drainage levels before your tiler or cabinet maker starts on the finishes.
$0 call-out fees, available 24/7, and same-day where we can.

Four faults account for most of the bathroom calls we take here, and each has a fix that does not start with replacing the whole room:
A weak shower often traces back to galvanised supply lines narrowed by decades of internal rust rather than the rose itself, and we always test before selling anyone new parts.
A drain that gurgles while the shower runs is usually venting air past a partial blockage, often tree roots in the earthenware line, and clearing the blockage restores the fall.
Wetness under a basin is mostly a failed flexi hose or a cracked trap, both quick visits, because the damage has usually not reached the cabinet or the floor yet.
Cracked grout around a shower floor can mean the waste line has shifted where it meets the earthenware run, so we check the fall and the joints before anyone retiles.

A bathroom packs more plumbing into a few square metres than any other room in the house, and in a suburb of interwar family homes that concentration multiplies every small fault:
Water that escapes a mixer or a trap inside a timber-framed house soaks into lining and floorboards quietly, and the repair bill grows with every week it waits. Caught early, the same fault is a quick visit.
Stripping a character-zone bathroom uncovers a century of previous ideas, from narrowed galvanised feeds to earthenware joints held by little more than habit. Finding them before the tiles go on is the difference between a plan and a rework.
On the slopes running down toward the brook, waste lines drop fast and stormwater moves faster, so a bathroom that drains well in dry weather can misbehave the moment a storm loads the ground outside.

Ring (07) 3524 7117 and tell us what's happening in Grange. A few quick questions up front means the right parts come on the first visit.

You get flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees before any work starts. Approve it and we get going.

The worn washers, hoses and traps come out, the new parts go in, and every tap, drain and mixer runs hot through a full test cycle before we pack up.

Pay by card or EFTPOS on site when the job's done, or ask us about Fix now, pay later.

That is the same standard whether the job is a resealed shower or a full strip-out.
There are no call-out fees for Grange jobs, and no added charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.

Every repair sits under our Fix-It-or-It's-Free guarantee (T&Cs apply). If we're late, $100 comes off your bill.
Each job is done by a licensed plumber under QBCC No: 15024607, and a lifetime labour warranty covers the labour.
Licensed and insured, locally owned and operated, with flat-rate pricing.
Bathroom work also carries us into Stafford, Gordon Park, Lutwyche, Windsor and Wilston most weeks, so a leaking shower one street past the edge is easy to add to the day's run.
Under-street pipes and the public sewer are Urban Utilities assets, and the owner must care for all fittings past the junction on the house side, bathroom branches included.
Most interwar supply lines here are galvanised steel, and rust narrows them from the inside, so weak flow at the rose is often the pipe rather than the fitting itself.
It can, because the traditional building character overlay protects original linings, and stripping those walls often uncovers galvanised or earthenware lines that need replacing before the new fit-out goes in.
It does, because lots around The Pinnacle and the Grange Heights ridge fall hard toward Kedron Brook, so your bathroom waste line may drop steeply before meeting the street sewer.
Access, pipe condition and how much lining has to come off drive the price, which is why we look first and fix the quote before any tools come out.
