Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with the complexity of the plumbing work and whether the job is a straightforward fixture swap or a structural re‑route. Jobs that require slab cutting, in‑wall or concealed systems, or higher‑spec fixtures are typically more expensive, while simple reconnects are usually less. Hazardous‑material remediation, full structural reinstatement and council or regulatory fees are generally excluded and treated as separate items.
Scope: standard vs structural work
Simple fixture replacements or reconnections are usually quicker and less complex than major re‑routing or concealed system installs.
Need for slab cutting or trenching
Work requiring slab cutting, trenching or excavation adds time and reinstatement needs, increasing overall scope.
Fixture and material specification
Higher‑spec fixtures, specialised fittings or longer pipe runs usually require more materials and labour effort.
Extent of pipe re‑routing and in‑wall work
Re‑routing drains or installing in‑wall cisterns is more complex than reconnecting in existing positions.
Site access and reinstatement requirements
Limited access, depth of work and whether only basic patching or full reinstatement is needed affect time and approach.
Estimated range
$5,575 – $13,035
Default scope: 3 bathrooms
