Licensed kitchen and bathroom renovation plumbing

Joniec Plumbing provides licensed kitchen and bathroom renovation plumbing across south-east Melbourne. Our Victorian-licensed plumbers (Lic. 46989) manage both the rough-in (new water, waste and gas lines inside walls and floors) and the fit-off of tapware and fixtures. Call 1300 575 862 or use the contact form before construction starts.

Our licensed plumbers keep water and gas in step with the new layout. Whether you expand a room, update fixtures, or move appliances, book the plumber before construction starts so water points and waste lines are set out once.

Bathroom work on this page covers baths, shower screens, vanities, mixers and waterproofing. Kitchen work covers moving a stovetop, adding a sink to an island bench, and new tapware. We also update pipes, taps and fittings as part of the same job.

The page lists a complete renovation service for bathrooms, laundries and kitchens: design, tiling, waterproofing, appliance selection and installation. That keeps one trade coordinating the wet area instead of a string of separate suppliers.

Advice after handover is part of the same licence. Joniec Plumbing has served Melbourne since 2005, backs work with a 12-month workmanship guarantee, and holds CM3 contractor certification (a third-party check of licence, insurance and safety records used by commercial clients). Licence 46989 can be checked with the Victorian Building Authority.

When does a kitchen or bathroom renovation need a licensed plumber?

Kitchen plumbing in Melbourne looks simple on a mood board, but moving a sink, stove, dishwasher or vanity means relocating water, waste and often gas lines that sit hidden inside walls and floor. Get this stage wrong and the problems show up after the tiler has left.

It is worth booking a plumber early in your renovation when you notice any of the following:

  • You want to move a sink, island bench, shower, bath or toilet, which changes where waste and water points need to run.
  • Existing pipes are old, corroded or undersized and unlikely to cope with a modern kitchen or bathroom layout. That can also show up as blocked drains.
  • You are switching appliances, for example adding a dishwasher, a second sink, or a gas cooktop that needs a new gas point. Related trade pages: gas fitting and hot water systems.
  • You need waterproofing and correct floor falls so a new bathroom drains properly and does not leak into the rooms below. Wet-area membranes in Australia are specified under AS 3740.
  • Slow drains, damp patches or a musty mould smell suggest the existing plumbing already has issues that are cheaper to fix while the walls are open.

Planning the plumbing before construction starts is the single best way to avoid costly changes later. If a renovation uncovers a hidden leak, treat it as burst and leaking pipes before the new work goes in. For after-hours water damage during a reno, Melbourne emergency plumbing is the 24/7 number path. Call 1300 575 862.

Kitchen and bathroom renovation plumbing we handle

What is included in kitchen renovation plumbing?

As your renovation plumber in Melbourne, we cover both the rough-in (pipework hidden in walls and floors) and the fit-off (visible fixtures near the end of the job). Kitchen work includes relocating and installing sinks, mixer taps, dishwasher and fridge water points, and gas points for cooktops via gas fitting.

What is included in bathroom renovation plumbing?

Bathroom work includes baths, showers, shower screens, vanities, basins, toilets and wall or floor-mounted mixers, plus waterproofing and floor falls so wet areas stay watertight. Laundry tubs, taps and washing machine connections sit on the same ticket when the reno includes a laundry.

  • Rough-in: setting out and running new hot and cold water, waste and drainage lines to suit the new layout.
  • Fit-off: installing chosen tapware, fixtures and fittings once tiling and cabinetry are complete.
  • Hot water: connecting or relocating hot water systems to match a new kitchen or bathroom.

How does renovation plumbing work?

Bathroom and kitchen renovation plumbing is quoted in writing before we start.

  1. Consult and plan. We review renovation plans and layout, ideally before construction begins, and advise on where water, waste and gas points should go.
  2. Written quote. You get a written price for the plumbing works before we begin.
  3. Rough-in. We run the new pipework in the walls and floor and arrange any required inspections while the area is still open.
  4. Fit-off. Once tiling and cabinetry are done, we install tapware, fixtures and appliances and test for leaks and correct drainage.
  5. Compliance and handover. We provide a compliance certificate where the work requires it, so the new kitchen or bathroom meets Victorian standards recorded with the Victorian Building Authority.

Every job is completed by a licensed Victorian plumber (licence 46989) and backed by the 12-month workmanship guarantee. The business has been established since 2005. Read the Google reviews (4.9 from 600+). Call 1300 575 862 or use the contact form.
