Showers and Taps
Washers, spindles and mixer cartridges get replaced, worn tap bodies get reseated, hot and cold flow gets balanced, and every wall penetration is resealed so water stays inside the stall.

Bathroom Plumbing in Alderley
Most calls come from two very different bathrooms here: the cramped wet areas of the station-side rows, and the timber cottages where the pipe under the floor is older than any fitting on show.
Station Rows and Estate Cottages
The station-side rows went in fast
Council zoning brought townhouses and low-rise unit living in near the station, along Wakefield Street and Alderley Avenue, and those tight bathrooms were fitted out with budget flexi hoses and isolation valves. A drip inside one of those shared walls becomes the neighbours' problem too.
The estate cottages carry older pipe
Weatherboard homes from the estate years still hold galvanised supply sections in wall cavities, and rust closes the bore from inside, so the shower loses pressure long before anything drips.
The drains under the floor are older still
Earthenware house drains from before plastic pipe sit under the older bathrooms, and the joints near the old footings are where seepage usually starts.
The Bathroom Work We Do
A bathroom call in this suburb usually comes down to one of four jobs, and here is how each one runs, so you know where you stand before anything is pulled apart:
Vanities and Basins
We swap basin tapware, redo the trap and waste under the cabinet, seal the vanity top against splashes, and chase slow drips back to the joint that first let go.
Baths and Floor Wastes
Hair and soap are cleared from bath and floor wastes, the overflow is repaired, the tile fall is checked, and the trap seal is tested so everything drains without smell.
Laundry and Mixers
We fix mixer spouts and braided hose connections behind laundries, replace perished flexi lines, and rework tub wastes, keeping hot and cold supply balanced at every outlet in the room.

Common Bathroom Problems
Most bathroom calls here come down to four faults:
Dripping Mixers
A mixer that drips has usually lost its cartridge to grit and wear, and the leak feeds mould into the bench; a fresh cartridge and seat fixes it same visit.
Weak Shower Pressure
A shower that trickles usually traces to a narrowed galvanised supply line or a clogged head, and one slow tap rarely means the whole house; we work out which.
Leaking Floor Wastes
A floor waste that smells or weeps has often lost its seal or trap water, and bathroom water finding the gap rots the cabinet below; resealing stops the spread.
Flexi Hose Failures
A bulging braided hose under a vanity is a fitting budgeted at build time, and a burst inside a shared townhouse wall soaks two homes; we swap them out early.
Why Bathroom Leaks Matter
Bathroom plumbing is the part of the house where water, waste and expensive finishes share a few square metres, so small faults compound fast, and an honest repair usually beats a renovation.
Water hides first and bills second
A slow drip behind a mixer travels along a pipe run before it ever shows on the ceiling. By then the cabinet floor or the plaster has been wet for months.
Shared walls double the stakes
In the townhouse rows, one low-grade hose inside a wall is the difference between a washer job and a repair that touches the neighbour's bathroom too.
A repair should keep your tiles
We match parts to the finishes you have wherever the market still sells them, because nobody should re-tile a wall just to replace a spindle.

Bathroom Questions From Alderley
Six questions we get about bathrooms here, with straight answers:
Call (07) 3067 4274Why has my shower gone weak in our older Alderley cottage?
Galvanised supply lines under the pre-war cottages rust and close up from within, and the first sign is a shower that loses pressure rather than any visible leak, so we check the line first.
Does Urban Utilities fix the pipes in my bathroom?
Urban Utilities manages the street mains and public sewer, and as the owner you are responsible for everything from the boundary connection through to your bathroom, so repairs inside are owner's work.
Who pays when a flexi hose bursts in a shared townhouse wall?
It depends on where the hose sits and what your body corporate insurance covers, but because the burst soaks the neighbouring bathroom too, we isolate the water fast and document the cause.
Can you match new tapware to existing tiles?
Yes, because most tapware families still sell replacement cartridges and spouts in the common finishes, so we match the existing tiles and fittings where possible rather than re-tiling a whole wall.
What makes bathroom work cost more in Alderley's older homes?
Access drives the price, because a tap buried behind a tiled wall, a waste under a boxed bath or pipe runs through concrete all take longer to reach, and the quote reflects the real job.
