Bathroom Plumbing FAQs

How much does it cost to install a bathtub in Brisbane? +

The cost of bathtub installation in Brisbane varies depending on the type of tub and whether you are replacing an existing one or starting a new build. A basic swap typically costs between $600 and $1,200 in labour, while complex freestanding or jetted tub installations requiring pipe relocation can be higher. We provide fixed, upfront quotes to ensure you know the exact cost before we start.

an I replace my built-in bath with a freestanding tub? +

Yes, but it usually involves plumbing modifications. Built-in baths often have drainage and taps fixed against a wall, whereas freestanding tubs may require the waste pipe and tapware (like a floor-mounted mixer) to be moved. We can assess your bathroom’s layout and subfloor to determine the most cost-effective way to make the switch.

Do I need a plumber or a tiler to install a bath? +

You actually need both, but the plumber is the most critical for the initial phase. A licensed plumber must handle the water connections and drainage to comply with QBCC regulations. We work alongside your renovators or can handle the plumbing and waterproofing stages to ensure the core of your bathtub replacement is watertight and compliant.

How long does a bathtub replacement take? +

A straightforward bathtub replacement usually takes one to two days. This allows time for the removal of the old unit, preparation of the base, plumbing connections, and the curing of sealants. If tiling or structural floor reinforcement is required, the total renovation time may extend to several days.

How do I know if my floor can support a heavy stone or cast iron bathtub? +

This is a vital consideration. A large stone tub filled with water can weigh over 500kg. During our initial site inspection, we evaluate your floor joists (for timber floors) or concrete slab. If the floor is insufficient, we can provide guidance on the necessary structural reinforcements needed before the installation proceeds.
