Bathrooms, kitchens and basements, plumbing included.
One crew does the plumbing, the gas and the finishing, so you are not coordinating three trades. Bathrooms, kitchens and basements.

What costs more when it is found late
Nothing is broken on a renovation, so waiting costs you something different here. It is the things found after the quote is signed, when every option has already got more expensive.
- Today
A soft patch in the floor by the toilet
Found on demolition daySubfloor replacement found on demolition day and priced as a change order, instead of sitting in the original quote.
- Today
Galvanised supply behind the tile
Found on demolition dayThe same wall opened twice, and the second time is after the new tile is already on it.
- Today
A bath fan venting into the attic
Found on demolition dayMould in the roof space, so a twenty minute reroute during the work becomes its own job with a roofer in it.
- Today
A vanity bought before anybody measured the rough in
Found on demolition dayA drain that has to move to fit it, which is the change order we are asked about more than any other.
What we usually find behind the tile
Nothing is broken yet on a renovation, so the useful list is different. These are the things that turn a straightforward quote into a change order, and all of them are cheaper to find before the work starts.
- The floor feels soft or springy near the toilet
- A slow flange leak has usually been working on the subfloor for years. It is a good thing to find now, while the floor is coming up anyway.
- You want a wider vanity than the one that is there
- The drain and supply may need moving. It is not a big job while the wall is open, and it is a very annoying one afterwards.
- Galvanised or lead supply pipe behind the wall
- The one moment it is cheap to replace is while the wall is already open. Tiling over it means opening the new tile later.
- The bath fan vents into the attic
- Common in older houses, and it quietly grows mould in the roof space. Rerouting it during the work costs very little.
- You want a bathroom in a basement with no rough-in
- Either the slab comes up to reach the drain, or an upflush system goes in. Both work, and the difference in cost and disruption is big enough to decide early.
- The kitchen layout moves the sink or the range
- Drain fall and gas line capacity decide what is possible. Worth checking before cabinets are ordered, not after.
What we would talk you out of
None of these are disasters. They are just the four decisions that most often cost people money on an otherwise well run job.
Do not buy the vanity before the rough-in is measured
Drain height and centre are what make a vanity fit. A beautiful unit that needs the drain moved 200mm is a change order, and it is always the wrong 200mm.
Do not tile over a floor that flexes
Tile does not bend. Grout cracks first, then the tiles, and the fix is pulling up the floor you just paid for.
Do not skip waterproofing behind the shower because it is going to be tiled
Tile and grout are not waterproof, they are water resistant. The membrane behind them is the thing keeping water out of the framing.
Do not leave the plumbing rough-in to the end
It is the one part that has to be right before anything covers it, and on a bathroom it dictates where everything else can go.
One flooded basement, fully restored
Water-damaged and torn up to a finished, livable space. One crew handled the restoration, plumbing and finish. Drag any photo to compare.
From first measure to handover
Measure and scope
We look at what is actually there, not just what you want. Drain positions, supply material, venting and floor condition, because those decide what the layout can be.
A fixed quote you can read
Line by line, with what is included and what is not. Fixture allowances are stated as allowances rather than buried, so you know exactly where your own choices change the number.
Rough-in and inspection
Plumbing, gas and venting go in and get signed off before anything closes up. This is the stage worth getting right, and the only one that cannot be revisited cheaply.
Finish and hand over
Tile, fixtures, trim and a working room at the end, cleaned up. Same crew throughout, so nothing waits on another trade's schedule.
What changes a renovation price
People assume fixtures drive the number. They are usually a small part of it. What actually moves a renovation quote is how much has to move.
Whether drains move
The single biggest driver. Keeping the toilet, sink and shower where they are is dramatically cheaper than relocating them, especially on a concrete floor.
What is under the floor
A subfloor that has to come up changes the schedule and the cost. It is also the thing most likely to be discovered rather than predicted.
Fixture and tile choices
The labour to fit a tap is the same whatever the tap costs, but small format tile, patterns and large slabs all take significantly longer to set.
Permits and inspection
Moving drains, altering structure or adding a bathroom usually means a permit. It is planned in from the quote rather than sprung on you.
How much you want done at once
Doing the ensuite at the same time as the main bath is not double the price. The setup, the protection and the trips are shared.
