In a bathroom renovation the plumbing happens in two stages. The rough in puts the pipes and drainage where the fixtures will go, before the walls and floor are closed up. The fit off installs the visible fixtures once the surfaces are finished.
Almost every expensive problem in a bathroom renovation traces back to the first stage. Once tiling is done, moving a waste or correcting a fall means taking the work apart. It is worth being certain about fixture positions before the walls close.
What we fix in Local Plumber Lilyfield
Blocked drains and camera inspections, hot water repair and replacement, burst and leaking pipes, taps and toilets, gas fitting, roof plumbing and gutters, and bathroom and kitchen plumbing.
24/7 Emergency
A shower drains because the floor is laid to fall toward the waste. If the fall is insufficient or uneven, water sits, and no amount of sealing fixes it afterwards.
Waterproofing sits under the tiling and is what actually keeps water out of the structure. It is a separate trade from plumbing but the two have to coordinate, because penetrations for wastes and taps are exactly where failures occur.
Moving a toilet is the change people most often underestimate. It is not just the pan position; the waste has to reach the existing drainage at an adequate grade, and how far it can move depends on where that drainage runs. That is worth establishing at design stage rather than mid build.
If a hot water system is leaking, making unusual noises, or delivering water hot enough to scald, switch it off at the isolation point if you can do so safely and call a licensed plumber. Tempering valves and pressure relief valves are not do it yourself items, and a failed relief valve can be dangerous.
Water and electricity together are a serious hazard. If a leak is running near a switchboard, a power point, downlights or an electric hot water unit, switch off at the mains only if the switchboard itself is dry and safe to reach, then keep everyone clear and call a licensed plumber. An electrician may also be needed.
Reason 01
Rapid Service Plumbing is a licensed plumbing business and our licence details are published on this site. Plumbing, drainage and gas fitting are licensed trades in New South Wales, and every plumber who attends a job in Lilyfield is licensed for the work they carry out.
Reason 02
You get a written quote before any work starts, covering labour, parts and any other costs. If we find something unexpected once we are on site, we stop and talk it through with you before going further.
Reason 03
A drain that keeps blocking or a tap that keeps dripping usually has an underlying reason. Where it matters we will investigate properly, including a camera inspection on drainage, so you are deciding with the full picture rather than paying twice for the same problem.
Reason 04
Repair and replacement are often both possible, and they suit different situations. We will tell you what each involves and what it means for the life of the fixture, then leave the decision with you.
Reason 05
Gas, hot water and anything involving water near electrical fittings carry real risk. We will tell you plainly when something should not be attempted at home and when a licensed professional needs to handle it.

FAQ
Questions we are regularly asked. If yours is not answered here, call the Sydney office on 02 9099 9138.
Sometimes, and it depends on where the existing drainage runs and what grade can be achieved to reach it. A short move is often straightforward. A move across the room can mean rerouting the waste, which may involve the floor structure. It is worth checking what is possible before the design is settled.
Yes for the plumbing and drainage work. In New South Wales this is licensed work, and it also needs to be documented correctly. Tiling and cabinetry are separate trades. If you are coordinating trades yourself, the plumbing rough in has to happen at the right point in the sequence, which is before waterproofing and tiling.
It is the check that pipework and drainage are correctly installed and positioned before they are covered. It matters because it is the last practical opportunity to find a problem without demolition. Skipping it saves nothing.
The most common reason is insufficient or uneven fall to the waste, which leaves water sitting on the floor. Other causes are a partly obstructed waste or a trap that was not installed correctly. It is worth diagnosing rather than assuming it will settle, because it will not.
Yes. Before work begins, we provide a written quote covering labour, parts and any other costs.
