Installing tapware and vanities

A like-for-like swap of a mixer or a vanity in the same position is a straightforward job. The old fittings come out, the new ones go in, and we connect them to the water supply and the waste. It gets bigger when the new vanity sits in a different place, or the new tapware needs its pipes in a different position.

Choose the tapware and the vanity before the plumber arrives. Wall-mounted mixers, vanity heights and basin positions all decide where the pipes go, and each product has its own measurements. This is part of our renovation plumbing. A bathroom renovation brings the plumber in at two stages, and the vanity and taps are the second.

What we install

  • Basin and bath mixers

    Deck-mounted or wall-mounted, in the old position or a new one.

  • Vanities and basins

    Connected to the water supply and the waste, and fixed securely.

  • Kitchen and laundry tapware

    Swapped for new, with the connections checked.

  • Shower mixers and fittings

    Fitted as part of a new shower or a swap.

  • Isolation taps and flexible connections

    Replaced where the old ones are worn or do not suit the new fixture.

What decides how big the job is

  • Whether the fixture stays where it is

    A move means new supply and waste pipework.

  • Wall-mounted or deck-mounted tapware

    A wall-mounted mixer needs its pipes set in the wall before the tiles go on.

  • The size of the vanity

    It decides where the waste and the supply come out.

  • The condition of the existing pipes

    Old or corroded pipe is worth replacing while it is easy to reach.

Water running that you cannot stop?

If a tap will not turn off or a pipe is leaking and the water will not stop, call us now. That is emergency plumbing. A new vanity can wait for a booked visit.

Before you install tapware or a vanity

Generally yes, as long as the products suit the job. Tapware sold for use in Australia should carry WaterMark certification, which shows it is approved for connection to the water supply. Check the specification sheet for connection sizes before buying, and keep the box and the instructions for installation day.

Yes. Even a like-for-like swap connects to the water supply, and in Queensland plumbing work has to be done by a licensed plumber. The QBCC treats replacing an existing fixture without changing the pipework as minor work, but it is still plumbing work.

Usually, but it means new supply and waste pipes to the new position. If the wall is being lined, that is the easiest time to do it. If the bathroom is already tiled, the pipes may need to be run a different way. We tell you what the move involves before we price it.

Choose the tapware and the vanity first, not after. Wall-mounted mixers and vanity heights decide where the pipes go, and having the specification sheets on site is what stops a tap landing behind a mirror.

Only when the pipes change. A like-for-like swap is minor work. Relocating a basin or adding a new one is notifiable, and your plumber registers it with the QBCC. Ask for a copy of the Form 4 once the job is finished.

Repair it when the body and the spindle are sound and a washer, seat or cartridge has worn. Replace it when it leaks from the base or the body, or its parts are no longer made. See leaking tap repairs.

Mainly whether the fixtures stay where they are. A like-for-like swap reuses the existing pipes. A move means new supply and waste lines. The number of fixtures and access to the pipework add to it. You get a written price before we start.
