Bathroom renovation plumbing, stage by stage
A plumber comes in twice during a bathroom renovation, with the waterproofer between us. Here is what happens at each stage and what NSW rules require.
After demolition, the old pipes, drain and fixtures come out. We run new water supply, hot water and drain pipework to the positions on your plans, set at the right heights for the shower, bath, vanity and toilet.
We fix the shower mixer body and spout connections to the framing, and put the floor waste and drain at the correct fall so water runs to it.
Every joint is pressure tested before the lining goes on. A leak found now costs a few minutes, and one found behind a tiled wall costs the tiles.
Waterproofing is a separate trade. It sits on the drain flange and around every pipe penetration, so our rough-in has to be finished and signed off before it starts.
We set the drain, flanges and wall penetrations to suit the waterproofer, and come back if a pipe has to be moved to get the membrane right.
We do not tile over or close up anything that has not been tested, because the waterproofing is only as good as the plumbing beneath it.
In NSW, a bathroom floor and shower must be waterproofed to the standard before tiling. Ask your builder who is doing it and in what order.
Once the tiling and painting are done, we come back and connect the finished fixtures: the shower head and rail, the vanity basin and mixer, the bath filler, and the toilet.
We check the shower and the tap pressure, the temperature at the mixer and the drain flow in every fixture, and sort out any hot water or tempering valve connection.
We clean up, show you the isolation points and leave you with the paperwork for the job.
In NSW, work on water supply, drainage, hot water and gas in a bathroom must be done by a licensed plumber. That covers moving a toilet, a shower, a basin or a floor waste, and connecting a new hot water line.
Licensed work is carried out to the plumbing code, and a certificate of compliance for it is lodged with NSW Fair Trading. An owner cannot do it for themselves.
A builder or handyman may fit a towel rail or a mirror. Anything that connects to a pipe belongs to a plumber.

What bathroom renovation plumbing costs in Sydney
A new vanity tap and a full gut and relocate are different jobs, so bathroom plumbing cost depends on how much of the room is moving. We price rough-in and fit-off separately, so you can see where the money goes.
Moving fixtures or keeping them
Swapping fixtures in the same position is the simplest. Moving the toilet, shower or bath means new drain runs and often a new floor.
Rough-in and fit-off
Two visits, because the plumber comes before and after the tiler. Both are priced from your plans, with the fixtures you choose.
The fixtures you choose
A wall hung toilet, a freestanding bath and a rail shower with a diverter need more pipework than a standard shower, basin and pan.
The age of the pipes
Old galvanised or copper pipework in a renovation is often replaced while the wall is open, because it is cheapest to do it then.
Access and floor level
A slab floor, a second storey bathroom or a tight apartment can change how the drain and supply lines get in and out.

Frequently asked questions
What bathroom plumbing services do Rapid Service Plumbing offer?
Rapid Service Plumbing provides comprehensive bathroom plumbing, including repair and installation of taps, showers, bathtubs, toilets, basins, pipework relocation, leak detection, and drainage solutions. These services cover both renovations and everyday repairs for homes across Sydney.
How do I know if I need a professional plumber for my bathroom?
If you experience persistent dripping taps, low water pressure, blocked drains, toilet flushing problems, water leaks behind walls, or are planning a renovation, it’s best to contact a licensed plumber. Rapid Service Plumbing can diagnose complex issues and ensure all work is done to regulation standards for safety and reliability.
Can you help with bathroom renovations and fixture replacements?
Yes, Rapid Service Plumbing handles bathroom upgrades, including replacing vanities, toilets, tapware, showers, and pipes, as well as relocating plumbing for new layouts. Professional installation ensures compliance, long-lasting results, and minimises the risk of leaks or damage.
What should I do if my bathroom drain is blocked?
First, avoid using chemical cleaners that may damage your pipes. Try using a plunger or drain snake to clear minor blockages. If the problem persists, contact Rapid Service Plumbing - advanced tools such as CCTV cameras and high-pressure water jets can safely clear out stubborn or recurring bathroom blockages without causing pipe harm.
When does the plumber come in a bathroom renovation?
Twice. The first visit is rough-in, once demolition is done and before the walls are lined and waterproofed. The second is fit-off, after the tiler and painter. The pressure test sits between the two, so the order matters.
Do I need a licensed plumber for a bathroom renovation in NSW?
Yes, for anything touching water supply, drainage, hot water or gas. That includes moving a toilet, shower, basin or floor waste. Licensed plumbers lodge a certificate of compliance with NSW Fair Trading for the work, which is something an owner cannot do for themselves.
Who does the waterproofing, the plumber or the builder?
Waterproofing is its own trade, usually arranged by your builder or tiler. We prepare the drain, flanges and pipe penetrations so the membrane can go on properly, and we do not close anything until it has been tested.
How much does bathroom plumbing cost in Sydney?
It depends on whether you are keeping the layout or moving fixtures, how many fixtures there are and which ones you choose. We price rough-in and fit-off from your plans, you approve the price before we start, and there is no fee to attend.
Can you replace just the shower or vanity without a full renovation?
Yes. Replacing a shower mixer, a vanity or a basin tap is a short job if the pipes are already in the right place. If the waterproofing is failing, we tell you before we fit anything over it.
Should I replace old pipes during a renovation?
Usually, if they are old galvanised or heavily scaled. The walls are open, so the extra cost of new pipe is small compared with opening a tiled wall in five years. We look at what is there and give you an honest view.
How long does bathroom plumbing take?
It depends on the size of the bathroom, whether fixtures are moving, and whether the floor is a slab or timber. A layout change or a second storey bathroom adds time. We confirm the timing with your builder after reading the plans.
Which parts of Sydney do you cover for bathroom renovation plumbing?
We cover the whole of Sydney: the Northern Beaches, North Shore, Inner West and City, the Eastern Suburbs, the Hills District, Western and South West Sydney, Canterbury-Bankstown and the Sutherland Shire. Tell us the suburb and we will send the closest team.
