A bathroom remodel isn’t just about tile and paint. It’s about water pressure that doesn’t drop when someone flushes. It’s about drains that actually drain. It’s about fixtures that fit your space and your routine without fighting you every morning.
When the plumbing side of your renovation is handled correctly from the start, you don’t deal with leaks six months later. You don’t rip out new drywall because someone didn’t account for Florida’s humidity and your home’s aging cast iron pipes. You don’t call three different people to fix what one should’ve handled.
You get a bathroom that looks how you wanted and functions how you need it to. That’s the difference between a remodel and a regret.
We’re a family-owned plumbing company that’s been serving Brevard County since 2007. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a call center that dispatches whoever’s available. We’re a State Certified Master Plumber (CFC#1428379) with over 40 years of combined plumbing experience and 20 years of military service backing every job we touch.
We know Scottsmoor. We know the homes here, many built before 1975 with cast iron pipes that corrode from the inside out. We know Florida’s humidity doesn’t forgive shortcuts. And we know that when you’re investing $10,000 to $50,000 in a bathroom remodel, the last thing you need is a plumber who treats it like a side job.
We show up. We do it right. We don’t overcharge, and we don’t leave problems for you to discover later.
First, we walk through your space and talk about what you’re changing. Tub to walk-in shower? New vanity? Relocating fixtures? We look at your existing plumbing, check for cast iron that needs replacing, and map out what needs to happen before the tile goes down.
Then we handle the rough-in work. That’s rerouting pipes, installing new drain lines, upgrading water supply lines, and making sure everything’s positioned exactly where your new fixtures will go. If we find corroded pipes or improper venting, we fix it now—not after your contractor’s already closed up the walls.
Once rough plumbing passes inspection, we move to fixture installation. Vanity plumbing gets connected. Your new shower valve, tub, or walk-in shower gets set. Toilets, sinks, faucets—everything gets installed, tested for leaks, and checked for proper drainage. When we’re done, you turn on the water and it works. No callbacks. No surprises.

Bathroom renovation plumbing covers everything from where water comes in to where it goes out. That means supply line installation for sinks, toilets, showers, and tubs. It means drain and waste line work that actually slopes correctly so you’re not dealing with slow drains or standing water. It means vent pipes that prevent sewer gas and keep your drains flowing fast.
In Scottsmoor, we’re also dealing with Florida-specific challenges. Humidity here isn’t seasonal—it’s constant. That means any leak, no matter how small, turns into mold behind your walls. We use water-repelling materials where it matters and make sure every connection is sealed right. If your home still has cast iron pipes from the ’60s or ’70s, we replace them with PEX or CPVC that won’t corrode or collapse.
We also handle accessibility upgrades that make sense for aging in place. Comfort-height toilets. Walk-in showers with built-in benches and grab bars installed at the right height. Lever-style faucets that don’t require grip strength. These aren’t just nice-to-haves in a community where the median age is over 50—they’re smart investments that let you stay in your home longer.
For a standard bathroom remodel, expect plumbing costs to run between $2,000 and $6,000 depending on what you’re changing. A basic fixture swap—new toilet, vanity, and showerhead—sits on the lower end. A full gut job with relocated drains, new supply lines, cast iron replacement, and custom shower plumbing pushes toward the higher end.
If you’re doing a tub-to-shower conversion, that’s additional rough-in work because the drain location usually changes. If you’re adding a second sink to your vanity, that’s more supply and waste lines. If we find cast iron pipes that are corroded or collapsing, replacing those adds cost but saves you from a flood six months after your remodel’s done.
We don’t give quotes over the phone because every home is different. But we do give you a clear, written estimate after we’ve seen your space. No surprise charges. No upselling you on things you don’t need.
Yes. A lot of homeowners in Scottsmoor do their own tile, paint, and finish work but bring us in for the plumbing because it has to pass inspection and it has to be done right.
We’ll coordinate with your timeline. Rough-in plumbing happens after demo and before your walls close up. Fixture installation happens after tile, paint, and trim. As long as you’re clear about your schedule and what you’re handling versus what we’re handling, it works fine.
Just know that if we show up and the framing’s not ready, or the tile isn’t set where it needs to be for the drain, we’ll have to reschedule. We’re not trying to be difficult—we just can’t install plumbing in a space that’s not ready for it. Communication makes this smooth.
If your home was built before 1975 and still has cast iron drain lines, you’re on borrowed time. Cast iron corrodes from the inside, so it looks fine on the outside while the inside diameter shrinks and eventually collapses. You get slow drains, frequent backups, and eventually a cracked pipe that floods your bathroom or leaks into your walls.
During a remodel, your walls are already open. That’s the time to replace it—not five years later when you’re cutting into finished tile and drywall to fix a pipe that should’ve been swapped during the renovation. We replace cast iron with PVC or ABS that won’t corrode, won’t rust, and will outlast everything else in your bathroom.
It’s an added cost upfront, but it’s also the difference between a 20-year remodel and a 5-year bandaid. Most homeowners who’ve dealt with cast iron failures wish they’d replaced it sooner.
Rough-in plumbing usually takes one to two days depending on how much we’re moving or replacing. If it’s a straightforward fixture swap with no pipe rerouting, we’re done in a day. If we’re relocating your shower, adding a new vanity, replacing cast iron, and rerouting drains, expect two days.
Fixture installation happens later in the process, after tile and paint. That’s typically another day—sometimes less if it’s a small bathroom with standard fixtures. If you’re installing a custom walk-in shower with multiple valves, body sprays, and a handheld unit, it takes longer.
Total calendar time depends on your contractor’s schedule and how fast the rest of the remodel moves. But our part—the actual plumbing work—is measured in days, not weeks. We’re not the bottleneck.
A service plumber fixes leaks, clears drains, and replaces broken fixtures. A bathroom remodeling plumber does all that plus the rough-in work, layout modifications, and code-compliant installations that make a renovation functional.
We read blueprints. We coordinate with tile setters, electricians, and general contractors. We know how to route supply lines and drains through tight spaces without cutting structural members. We understand Florida building codes and what inspectors look for. And we know how to install fixtures in ways that make sense for how you’ll actually use the space—not just where the old ones were.
If you hire a service plumber for a remodel, you might get someone who’s great at fixing toilets but has never roughed in a curbless shower or installed a thermostatic valve. We’ve done hundreds of bathroom remodels. It’s not a side job for us—it’s what we do.
Yes, but there’s a catch. If we install a fixture you purchased and it leaks, breaks, or doesn’t work right, we can’t warranty our labor because we didn’t control the quality of the part. If you bought an $89 faucet from a big box store and it fails in six months, that’s on the manufacturer—and good luck getting them to cover the service call.
When we supply the fixtures, we warranty the parts and the labor. If something goes wrong, we handle it. No finger-pointing, no “that’s not our problem” runaround.
That said, if you’ve already bought high-quality fixtures from a reputable supplier and you’re confident in what you have, we’ll install them. We just can’t take responsibility for how they perform long-term. Most of our clients let us supply the fixtures because it’s one less thing to worry about and they know we’ll stand behind it.
