FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Newcomb?
We replace a full range of household and commercial fixtures, including faucets, sinks, toilets, showerheads, bathtubs, laundry tubs, garbage disposals, and outdoor hose bibs. If you have a specialty item—such as touchless taps, low-flow toilets, or ADA-compliant fixtures—our licensed plumbers are trained to install those as well.
How do I know when it’s time to replace my plumbing fixture instead of repairing it?
Frequent leaks, visible corrosion, cracked porcelain, persistent clogging, low water pressure, outdated water-wasting designs, and repeated repair costs are strong indicators that replacement is the better option. During our on-site assessment, we’ll inspect the fixture, estimate the remaining life span, and explain whether repair or replacement will be more cost-effective in the long run.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
Most straightforward replacements—such as swapping a faucet or toilet—take 1–2 hours once the plumber is on-site. More complex projects, like converting a standard tub to a walk-in shower or relocating lines, can extend to half a day or longer. We provide a time estimate upfront and keep you informed if we encounter hidden issues such as deteriorated supply lines or shut-off valves.
Do I need to supply the new fixture or can you provide it?
You’re welcome to purchase your own fixture, or we can supply one for you. Many clients choose our supply option because we carry reputable brands, ensure compatibility with existing plumbing, and include the manufacturer’s warranty paperwork. Either way, we’ll confirm specifications—size, finish, flow rate, and connection type—before scheduling installation.
Will replacing old fixtures reduce my water bills?
Yes. Modern WaterSense-certified faucets, showerheads, and high-efficiency toilets use up to 60 % less water than many older models. For an average Newcomb household, those savings can translate to 10,000–15,000 litres of water—and noticeable utility bill reductions—each year. We’ll help you select fixtures with the ideal balance of performance, aesthetics, and efficiency.
Are permits required for plumbing fixture replacements in Newcomb, and do you handle them?
Simple, like-for-like fixture swaps usually do not require a council permit, but any work involving new water supply lines, drainage alterations, or backflow prevention upgrades may trigger permit or inspection requirements. Our team stays current with Surf Coast Shire regulations; if a permit is needed, we’ll prepare the paperwork, submit it, and coordinate the final inspection so you remain fully compliant.
