When to Get a Plumber Involved in Your Bathroom Renovation

At the planning stage — before you commit to a layout

A plumber needs to confirm what's possible before you finalise a bathroom layout. Moving a toilet or shower requires relocating drains — in Tuggerah's slab-on-ground homes that means saw-cutting concrete. Know the cost and feasibility first.

During the strip-out

As the old bathroom is removed, a plumber should assess the existing drain condition. In Tuggerah's 1970s–80s homes it's common to find old uPVC or clay drain connections that need replacing before the new rough-in goes in.

Before waterproofing and tiling

The rough-in — drain and water supply positioning — must be completed and inspected before waterproofing and tiling begins. Changing anything after tiles are down is costly. Get this right first.

After tiling for fixture fit-off

Once tiling is complete, the plumber returns to install the toilet, vanity, basin taps, shower head, and any other fixtures. This is the fit-off stage — a separate visit from rough-in.

Compliance certificate on completion

Your licensed plumber must issue a Certificate of Compliance for all plumbing work in NSW. This is required for insurance purposes and is important at resale. All Alljack plumbers are licensed to issue this certificate.
