FAQs
Do I need a licensed plumber for my bathroom renovation in Newcomb?
Yes. Victorian regulations require that any plumbing work—especially tasks involving water supply, drainage, or gas—be carried out by a licensed plumber. Hiring a licensed professional ensures your renovation is compliant with the Plumbing Regulations 2018 and is covered by the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) compliance certificates.
How long does bathroom plumbing typically take during a remodel?
For a standard bathroom in Newcomb, rough-in and fit-off plumbing usually takes 3–5 working days, depending on the complexity of rerouting pipes, fixture selection, and site accessibility. Unexpected issues such as outdated galvanised pipes or drainage re-grading can add extra time, so always allow a contingency buffer in your schedule.
Can you help me choose water-efficient fixtures to reduce my water bills?
Absolutely. We recommend selecting products with a minimum 4-star WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme) rating, such as dual-flush toilets, low-flow shower heads, and mixer taps with aerators. These fixtures can cut household water use by up to 40 %, lowering both water and energy bills without sacrificing pressure or comfort.
Will the water be shut off to the whole house during plumbing works?
Only briefly. We generally isolate and drain the bathroom’s supply lines so you can still use water in other areas of the house. Total shut-down is required only for 30–60 minutes during key cut-in points, and we coordinate this around your preferred times to minimise disruption.
What warranties or guarantees do you provide on plumbing work?
All workmanship is backed by a 6-year VBA-mandated warranty, and we supply Compliance Certificates for any work valued over $750. Fixtures and fittings are covered by manufacturer warranties, typically 5–15 years, which we register on your behalf at project completion.
How much does bathroom plumbing renovation cost in Newcomb?
Costs vary with scope, but a typical mid-range bathroom plumbing package (new shower, vanity, toilet, and updated drainage) runs between $3,500 and $6,500. Full relocations of fixtures, concealed cisterns, or custom drainage solutions can increase the budget. We provide a fixed quote after an on-site inspection, so there are no surprises.
