Housing here runs from raised interwar weatherboards to recent flat blocks, so wet-area faults range just as wide. A worn washer in a 1920s tap and a split braided hose under a unit basin sit at opposite ends of the same trade. Every part of that range has its own page below, starting at the Kedron home page.
What Bathroom Plumbing Includes
Bathroom plumbing breaks into three parts: the water supply, the waste lines and the fixtures at the end of them.
Hot and cold lines feed each fixture. Waste pipes then carry the used water away to the drain. At the end of both sit the fixtures and their tapware.
What sits in each part:
- Supply: hot and cold lines running to every fixture
- Waste: the pipes carrying used water out to the sewer
- Fixtures and tapware: each shower, basin and bath, plus the mixers
Repairs fill most of our week in the wet areas. In an older raised house off Broughton Road, a failing heater usually announces itself early. You get water on the laundry floor, or a cold shower on the first chilly June morning. Showers also wear in predictable spots, and our shower repairs page covers the mixer, arm and wall faults we see most.
What an Owner May Do Without a Licence
No, nearly all bathroom plumbing is regulated work for a licensed plumber or drainer, and the DIY list is short.
Queensland restricts this work to protect the home, your health and your legal rights as an owner. Only two bathroom jobs sit outside the licence.
The unregulated list for a bathroom runs to two items:
- fitting a replacement shower head
- changing the washer or jumper valve inside a tap
Installing a whole new tap is licensed work rather than a DIY swap. Even the unregulated jobs have to reach the standards set by Queensland's plumbing legislation and codes, so a badly done washer change is still a breach. Everything else in the wet area goes to a licensed plumber, and the QBCC's licence register is public if you want to check before booking.
Australian Standards for Bathroom Plumbing
A tap or shower bound for a Queensland bathroom carries two marks: WaterMark certification and registration under the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme.
WaterMark certifies the product against the national plumbing code's safety and fit-for-purpose requirements. WELS registers it for water efficiency and puts the star rating and water use on the label.
What each mark tells you:
- WaterMark: certified as safe and fit for purpose under the code
- WELS: registered with a star rating and water usage details on the label
Two rules flow from those marks. New dwellings need 3-star showerheads and tapware, though a renovation carries no such minimum. And a temperature control device keeps hot water arriving at the tap at or below 50°C in a home, a level Business Queensland calls enough for hygiene and a strong guard against scalds.
Renovating rather than repairing? The bathroom renovation plumbing page covers how these rules apply to a new layout.
Paperwork After Bathroom Plumbing Work
The paperwork splits on one line: replacing a fixture with a like-for-like model is minor work, and adding or relocating one is notifiable.
Minor work still goes to a licensed plumber, but it calls for no council permit and no paperwork. Relocating a basin or adding a new shower changes the category.
What notifiable work means for you:
- No council permit or inspection applies
- Your plumber sends a Form 4 to the QBCC inside 10 business days
- A copy lands with you for your own records
Additions, extensions and full renovations of a bathroom in an existing building sit in that same notifiable category. The QBCC's registers also show whether a Form 4 exists for an address, which helps when you're buying an older place.
Every Wet Area Job Has Its Page
Each fault below has a page of its own, so start with the one that matches your problem.
- Shower repairs: mixers, temperature faults and flow problems
- Leaking shower repairs: water escaping the recess into walls or floors
- Bathroom renovation plumbing: new layouts, moved fixtures and the paperwork that follows
- Why your shower head drips: the common causes when the head keeps running after the taps close
Fixtures elsewhere in the house have their own sections too: the taps and toilets we service, the kitchen and laundry plumbing jobs, and the hot water plumbing system feeding the shower.
At the last census, 30 per cent of dwellings in Kedron were flats or apartments. The newer blocks near the brook fit braided hoses under basins by the dozen, and one split hose there can wet the ceiling of the unit below. That's why we treat a bulging or kinked hose as worth replacing the week we spot it.

Bathroom Plumbing Questions Answered
Call (07) 3523 6484What does a bathroom plumber actually do?
The job covers three things: the supply running to each fixture, the waste lines heading out to the drain, and the fixtures with their tapware. Every shower, basin, bath and mixer in a Kedron bathroom belongs to it.
Can I plumb my own bathroom in Queensland?
No, almost none of it. Regulated bathroom work belongs to licensed plumbers, and the DIY list covers only a shower head swap and the washer inside a tap. Those jobs still have to meet the standards in the plumbing legislation and codes.
Does moving a basin or shower count as notifiable work?
Yes, in an existing building. Shifting a fixture or installing a new one is notifiable, which finishes with a Form 4 lodged at the QBCC and a copy left with you.
When does a bathroom repair become a renovation job?
The layout decides. A like-for-like replacement stays minor work; adding a fixture or moving one is notifiable, which is how Queensland classes renovation plumbing.
Who looks after the shower tray in a Kedron unit?
The lot's owner or occupier does, even where the tray falls outside the lot itself. Body corporate responsibility starts elsewhere, and our unit plumbing page covers the split.
Do you charge a call-out fee for bathroom work?
No, we don't. Calls in Kedron carry $0 call-out fees, flat-rate pricing and no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and you see the fixed quote before any work starts.
