Shower Repairs
We strip and reseal leaking showers, replace worn mixers and diverter valves, and fix pressure that drops the moment a second tap opens, working on wall cavities and old pipe.

Showers, Baths and Basins
One call covers the whole room: shower mixers, bath drains, basin tapware, vanities and the supply lines feeding them. It is general plumbing at its most everyday, and it is where a small fault left alone turns into a damaged wall.
Racing Era Bathrooms on Shifting Clay
The housing stock here is old weatherboard and brick, built pre-1940 or in the 1940s to 1960s wave, and each renovation since has left its own layer of pipe, fittings and seals behind. That history shapes every bathroom job.
Galvanised branches
Houses from the racing years carry galvanised supply pipe in the walls and under the floors, and where it survives it rusts through at the joints, which starves the newest bathroom of pressure first.
Second bathrooms
At the last census half the houses here had four or more bedrooms, so extra bathrooms are widespread, and the fittings at the far end of the old runs suffer the worst flow loss.
Ground that moves
The soil here blends alluvial deposits with reactive clay, which expands in the wet months and contracts in the dry, so old fittings under a house that rides that movement tend to weep over time.
Bathroom Work We Take On
Whether the task is one dripping mixer or a complete strip-out, the first step never changes: we diagnose the problem, price the repair, and leave with all fittings tested, so here is what the work typically involves:
Baths and Basins
We rewash and reseat vintage basin tapware, clear blocked bath and basin drains, repair spa bath pumps where fitted, and swap failed braided hoses under vanities before they flood.
Renovation Plumbing
We replumb full bathroom renovations, rough in new shower, bath and vanity positions, move drainage where the floor allows, and connect every new fitting to the existing waste runs outside.
Leaks and Pressure
We trace hidden bathroom leaks from damp patches and dropping pressure, test tempering and pressure limiting valves, and repair the supply pipe branches so the newest bathroom stops missing out.

Common Problems in the Bathroom
Low Shower Pressure
Weak flow at one shower comes down to a blocked aerator, a failing mixer or a corroded galvanised branch, and the fix is swapping a part rather than a full reno.
Slow Bathroom Drains
Hair and soap build up in the shower trap long before the main line blocks, so slow early draining rarely means dig work, and a clear-out usually restores full flow.
Leaking Shower Mixer
A mixer weeping through the tiled wall drips into the cavity and shows as paint damage metres away, but caught early it is a simple cartridge swap, not a rebuild.
Damp Under the Vanity
Water pooling under a vanity usually comes from a failed braided hose or a loose trap union rather than the drain itself, and both are quick swaps done in one visit.
Why Bathroom Repairs Matter
A bathroom holds more plumbing per square metre than any other room, and most of it sits where you cannot see it, so small faults spread quietly:
Water travels
A slow leak behind tile does its damage inside the wall cavity and the floor frame, and by the time paint peels the timber may already be wet through.
Pressure problems compound
Mains pressure held too high wears washers and mixers out early, which is why we test the pressure limiting valve rather than just swapping the parts that failed.
Bills creep up
A weeping mixer or a running shower head sends litres down the drain every day, and fixing it is one of the quickest savings a household can make.

Bathroom Questions From Hendra
Call (07) 3067 4276Why is the shower pressure weak in an older Hendra bathroom?
Galvanised branch pipe from the pre-1940 and postwar build-outs rusts internally and chokes flow, so we trace the run and replace the section, which restores pressure without touching the tiles.
Does Urban Utilities own the pipes inside my bathroom?
No, the water main and sewer under the street come under Urban Utilities, and maintaining, repairing and paying for all piping and fittings inside your boundary falls to you as the owner.
Can reactive clay around Hendra crack my bathroom pipes?
It can, because the ground moves through its wet and dry cycles, and older threaded connections beneath a shifting home work loose and weep over the years.
Should old bathroom tapware be kept or replaced?
We keep it where the bodies are sound, since solid brassware from the racing era outlasts lightweight modern fittings, and we only suggest replacements where a casting is cracked or parts are gone.
What pushes the cost up on a Hendra bathroom job?
Access is the big one, because pipe buried in a pre-1940 wall or under a timber floor takes longer to reach, and tile or lining removal adds time that a simple fitting swap avoids.
