Shower Repairs

Bathroom Repairs Across Ashgrove
Bathrooms in this suburb have been extended, re-tiled and re-fitted in waves for close to a century, so no two are plumbed the same way. We work on all of them, old and new.
Rear Bathrooms on Old Clay Lines
Most of the work here traces back to how these houses grew.
Original earthenware drains
The Ashgrovian cottages off Ashgrove Avenue and Wardell Street went up before 1940, and the rear bathrooms added across generations of renovations drain into that same clay network under the lawns.
Galvanised supply in the walls
Many timber homes never had a complete re-pipe, so corroded steel lines remain, and the shower with the weakest flow is usually the one most distant from the meter.
Character protections
Large pockets of the older streets sit inside Council's traditional building character overlay, so original tapware and pipe stay in service rather than being swapped out wholesale.
Bathroom Work We Take
Every bathroom job on one list, so you know where yours fits:
Baths and Basins
We repair leaks at bath wastes and overflow joints, re-seat worn basin taps, and swap cracked or stained fixtures, including the wall-mounted tapwork sitting behind older bathroom linings.
Floor Wastes and Traps
We clear and re-seal floor wastes and shower traps that hold water or let smells back into the bathroom, checking the fall of the tiles while we are down there.
Vanity Installations
We install new vanities and basin mixers, connect the waste and supply neatly, and make sure the connections are accessible for the next person who has to work on them.
Full Bathroom Re-plumbs
We replace galvanised or early copper supply runs with new pipe, working beneath the high-set houses where the frame allows, and open a wall only where a pipe runs buried.
Bathroom Leak Repairs
We find and fix leaks at mixer bodies, shower taps, pan connections and pipe joins behind walls, then test the repair under pressure before the lining goes back on.

Common Problems
Slow Shower Drain
Hair and soap build up at the shower trap first, but if the bath and floor waste slow at the same time, the house drain below is filling and needs attention.
Low Shower Pressure
Rust narrowing inside old galvanised lines starves the furthest fitting first, so the shower drops away while the front taps still run strong, and re-piping fixes it properly.
Water on Tiles
Water escaping past a failed shower seal travels under tiles and shows up on lining boards or ceilings below, and sealing it again promptly avoids a far bigger repair later.
Rusty Tap Water
Brown water first thing in the morning, after a quiet night, points at steel pipe rusting from the inside, and the bathroom is usually where it shows up first in an Ashgrove house.
Why It Matters
Small leaks become big repairs
A shower that leaks through its seal can rot framing and lining before any water appears on the floor, and finding it early keeps the repair to the seal rather than the frame.
Old supply lines fail gradually, then suddenly
Galvanised pipe narrows for years before a corroded joint splits inside a wall cavity, so weak flow is worth acting on before the burst.
Bathroom work is linked to the whole system
A new shower or vanity feeding into an earthenware drain that roots have found will disappoint, so we check the connections before we finish.

Bathroom Questions From Ashgrove Homes
Call (07) 3067 4272Can you re-plumb a bathroom in a pre-war Ashgrove house without lifting the tiles?
Mostly, because high-set Queenslanders leave the pipework reachable from below, so we re-run the lines under the floor and only cut into a wall where tiling genuinely buries a pipe.
Why does our Ashgrove shower lose pressure when the laundry tap runs?
Narrowing inside old galvanised supply lines is the usual cause, because rust closes the pipe furthest from the meter first, and a re-pipe in sections restores the flow everywhere.
Who owns the drain our Ashgrove bathroom empties into?
Urban Utilities looks after the sewer main in the road, while every pipe from the connection point back onto your property belongs to you, so bathroom drain faults are owner side.
Do rear bathrooms on older Ashgrove blocks need their drains checked?
They do, because bathrooms added behind the original cottages were often connected to the same earthenware runs, and a camera pass shows whether those old joints will take a new fixture.
Is a slow bathroom drain a fixture problem or a blocked sewer?
One slow fixture points to its own trap or waste, while every drain in the bathroom slowing together points to the house drain filling, and testing them separately settles it quickly.
