The wet zone where era matters most
Housing stock here makes bathroom work genuinely different street by street. The pre-1940 cottages that dominate the older blocks were built with supply and waste runs sized for a different life.
Many still carry original galvanised sections or early copper behind walls that have never been opened, and between those cottages and the 1940s to 1960s brick flats, the same fault can wear three different faces.
- A pressure problem In one era traces to narrowing pipes.
- A failed fitting In another is simply a worn cartridge or hose.
- A drainage quirk In a third comes from the original falls under the floor.
We diagnose the pipes first and the fixtures second, because a new shower head bolted onto a failing line is money spent twice.
What we cover in the bathroom
Every job starts with the same discipline: find the real cause, quote the complete fix in writing, and finish with fittings that suit the house.
Shower and bath plumbing
Shower and bath plumbing covers the pipework behind the tiles, from mixer bodies and outlet elbows down to the waste traps below, and we repair or replace components with fittings matched to the home's era so the finished result lasts.
Vanity and basin work
Vanity and basin work ranges from reseating a basin that has pulled away from the wall to rerouting supplies for a new unit, and in older cottages we check the condition of pipes behind the plaster before anything gets reconnected.
Renovation and fixture upgrades
Renovation plumbing sits behind most bathroom makeovers, and we rough in the fresh water and waste points, shift floor wastes where the layout changes, and work alongside your tiler so the finished room genuinely matches the plans.
Hidden leaks behind tiles
Hidden leaks show up as stained ceilings, lifting floor tiles or a musty smell long before any water appears. We trace the exact source with proper detection equipment instead of opening up the plaster on a hunch.
Kept small. Finding the precise point keeps the repair contained, so a weeping shower elbow becomes a single tile lifted rather than a wall stripped back to studs.
Honest bills. Diagnosis first means the quote covers what the job actually is, not a guess padded for the unknown.
If the fault sits in the tapware itself, our tap repairs service covers cartridges, washers and mixer bodies in detail, while shower repairs handles the leaking head and the wall behind it. Planning a new suite rather than fixing the old one? Toilet installation takes the fixture side from there, and our leak detection page explains how we find the faults you cannot see.
Federation tiles, post-war flexi hoses
The character streets around Planthurst Road hold bathrooms that were updated once, decades ago, so a weatherboard cottage can hide a 1970s vanity sitting on 1910s supply runs.
That layered mix is where careful diagnosis earns its keep: working out which era of the bathroom is actually failing before any tile comes off, then quoting the whole repair rather than the obvious symptom.
Game days at the Jubilee ground bring the suburb together, but they also remind you how many of these cottages now serve growing families. A bathroom sized for 1920s living copes with twice the showers, and the wear shows in mixers, wastes and wall penetrations first.
The faults we find most often
Bathrooms in this suburb fail in patterns, and the patterns follow the housing eras.
Low pressure in older bathrooms
Low pressure in Federation and interwar bathrooms usually traces to galvanised supply pipes corroding from the inside, and where the narrowing has gone too far we renew the affected runs so the shower and basin perform the way they should.
Dribbling mixers and weeping outlets
A mixer that drips no matter how firmly you close it needs a cartridge suited to the brand, and we carry the common ones on the van, so most dripping tap and shower jobs finish on the first visit.
Water pooling at the vanity
Water pooling under a vanity often means a failed flexi hose or a waste connection working loose, both sudden-failure fittings in the post-war flats, and replacing them properly costs far less than the cabinet damage they eventually cause.
Why fixing it now matters
- Small leaks become structural ones Water escaping behind tiles or under a vanity sits in timber and plaster long before it shows, and by the time the stain appears, the repair has grown from a fitting to a rebuild.
- Pressure problems point to pipe health A shower that has faded to a trickle is telling you the supply line is narrowing, and catching it early means renewing a section instead of repiping the room.
- A working bathroom protects the whole house This wet room takes more daily use than anywhere else, and keeping it sound protects the floors, walls and ceilings that everything else depends on.

Why choose Your Plumber Carlton
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Carlton works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Beyond the suburb itself, our vans cover the surrounding Georges River streets, taking in Kogarah and Kogarah Bay through Beverley Park, Allawah and South Hurstville, with the same fixed-price discipline and era-aware fittings carried on every job, whether the house is a Federation cottage or a post-war brick flat.
Good questions, straight answers
Bathroom plumbing questions from Carlton locals
Do you renovate bathrooms as well as repair them?
We handle the plumbing side of renovations, setting out the new water and waste points, relocating floor wastes and working to your tiler's schedule so the finished room works as planned.
Why is my shower pressure low in an older cottage?
In Federation and interwar homes the usual culprit is galvanised supply pipe corroding from the inside, which narrows the bore until pressure fades, and renewing the affected runs restores proper flow.
How much will the bathroom plumbing work cost?
You receive a single fixed written price covering the complete job before any work begins, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards, whatever the job turns out to involve.
Can you match new fittings to an older bathroom?
We carry and source fittings suited to each home's era, so a renovated cottage or a post-war flat gets parts that suit its pipework and pressure rather than generic replacements.
Do you service the flats near the station?
Yes, we work throughout the suburb's brick flats and semis, where hard-working bathrooms wear out fill valves, flexi hoses and waste connections on a steady schedule.
Is the work licensed and guaranteed?
Every job is completed under licence #275278C with full insurance, and our Lifetime Labour Warranty means if the work is not right, we come back, no questions and no cost.
