Whether you are updating an older bathroom, improving the layout or creating a completely new wet area, our team can help manage the plumbing requirements and guide you through the process from initial consultation through to completion.
What A Full Bathroom Renovation Includes
Plumbing rough-in
Relocating or installing water supply lines, waste pipes, and drainage connections to suit the new layout. This is where tap positions, shower locations, toilet placement, and bath connections are set.
Waterproofing
Membrane applied to wet areas in compliance with Australian Standard AS 3740. Waterproofing must be completed and inspected before tiling can begin.
Strip-out and demolition
Removing existing fixtures, tiles, linings, and fittings. Waste is cleared from the site.
Tiling
Floor and wall tiles installed, including feature walls, niches, and shower recesses.
Fixture installation
Vanities, basins, toilets, shower screens, mirrors, tapware, and accessories fitted and connected.
Electrical work
Lighting, exhaust fans, heated towel rails, and power points installed by a licensed electrician.
Painting and finishing
Walls, ceilings, door frames, and trims painted to complete the room.
Final plumbing fit-off
All fixtures connected, tested for leaks, and confirmed working before handover.
What To Expect From
The Renovation Process
#1: Initial Consultation
The plumber visits the property to discuss the layout, fixtures, budget, and timeline. Measurements are taken and the scope is confirmed.
#2: Fixed Price Quote
A detailed quote covers all trades, materials, fixtures, and finishes. The homeowner reviews and approves before any work begins.
#3: Demolition And Strip-Out
Existing bathroom removed and waste cleared. The space is prepared for the new layout.
#4: Plumbing And Electrical Rough-In
Supply, waste, and drainage lines installed . Electrical wiring for lights, fans, and power points completed.
#5: Waterproofing And Tiling
Wet area membrane applied, inspected, and tiled. Feature walls and niches completed.
#6: Fixture Installation and Fit-Off
Vanity, toilet, shower, tapware, and accessories installed and connected.
#7: Final Inspection And Handover
The completed bathroom is tested, cleaned, and handed over with all fixtures confirmed working.
The timeline depends on the bathroom size, layout complexity, and fixture lead times. Most standard bathroom renovations take two to four weeks from demolition to handover.
Why One Team Managing The Entire Renovation Matters
A bathroom renovation involves plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, electrical, painting, and carpentry, and each trade depends on the one before it is completed correctly and on time. When one trade runs late or a stage is done out of sequence, the entire project stalls.
AR Plumbing Service coordinates all trades involved in the renovation, scheduling each stage so the work flows without gaps or clashes. The homeowner has one point of contact for the project, one quote covering the full scope, and a clear timeline from strip-out to handover.
This approach is especially useful for homeowners who do not want to manage multiple tradespeople, chase schedules, or deal with conflicting advice from different contractors.
