Your water pressure stops dropping mid-shower. That toilet finally quits running all day, and your water bill reflects it by the next month. The fixtures you picked out get installed correctly the first time, which means no callbacks, no leaks behind the walls, and no wondering if something’s going to fail six months from now.
When you’re tearing into walls for a bathroom remodel anyway, that’s when you fix the real problems—the corroded galvanized pipes, the slow drains, the stuff that’s been annoying you for years. Repiping during a renovation costs a fraction of what emergency repairs run later, and you’re not patching drywall twice.
Most homes in Mims were built decades ago, and plenty still have original plumbing that’s rusting from the inside. You don’t see it until pressure drops or a pipe bursts. A proper bathroom renovation plumbing job addresses what’s hidden before it becomes your next disaster.
We’re a family-owned, state-certified plumbing contractor serving Mims and the rest of Brevard County. We’ve seen what happens when shortcuts get taken during bathroom remodels—the mold behind the tile, the leaks that don’t show up until the next homeowner moves in, the permit issues that kill a sale.
Our team brings over 40 years of combined experience and more than 20 years of military discipline to every job. That means showing up on time, doing what we said we’d do, and not leaving until it passes inspection. We’re not the cheapest option in Brevard County, and that’s intentional—you’re paying for work that lasts and plumbing that actually functions the way it should.
Mims has its share of older homes with aging infrastructure. We know the common issues because we’ve fixed them hundreds of times—Orangeburg pipe that’s collapsing, cast iron that’s corroded through, galvanized steel that’s choking off your water pressure.
First, we walk through your bathroom and talk about what’s not working—literally and aesthetically. We check water pressure, test drains, and look at what’s behind the walls if there’s already an access point. If your pipes are original to the house and you’re in an older Mims home, we’ll recommend repiping while everything’s open.
Then we pull permits. Brevard County requires them for plumbing changes, and unpermitted work causes problems when you sell or file an insurance claim. We handle that process because we know what the inspectors look for, and it keeps your project on schedule.
During the remodel, we handle the bathroom fixture installation, shower and tub replacement, vanity plumbing, and any pipe rerouting services needed to make your new layout work. If we’re replacing your tub with a walk-in shower, that means rerouting drain lines and possibly moving supply lines. We do that work correctly the first time, with proper waterproofing for Florida’s humidity.
Once everything’s installed and tested, the inspector signs off. You’re left with a bathroom that works, plumbing that won’t fail in two years, and permits that are actually on file.

A complete bathroom remodel through us means we’re handling the plumbing from start to finish. That includes bathroom fixture installation for your sinks, toilets, tubs, and showers. If you’re upgrading to a rainfall showerhead or adding body sprays, we run the lines and make sure your water pressure can actually support it.
Shower and tub replacement involves more than swapping the unit. We’re verifying that your drain line has the right slope, that your P-trap isn’t going to clog every six months, and that everything’s sealed against moisture. Brevard County’s humidity is no joke—improper waterproofing leads to mold behind your tile, and that’s an expensive fix.
Vanity plumbing covers your sink hookups, faucet installation, and making sure your shut-off valves actually work when you need them. Pipe rerouting services come into play when your new layout doesn’t match the old one, or when we’re replacing corroded pipes while the walls are open. Most Mims homes built before 1980 still have galvanized steel or cast iron that’s degrading from the inside, and a remodel is the ideal time to address it before you’re dealing with an emergency.
We also coordinate the permit process with Brevard County and schedule inspections so your project doesn’t stall. Everything gets done to code, which protects you during resale and keeps your insurance valid if something ever goes wrong.
For a basic guest bathroom refresh in Mims, you’re typically looking at $12,000 to $18,000 when you include plumbing work. A full master bathroom remodel with high-end fixtures, tile work, and significant plumbing changes runs $20,000 to $30,000. Those ranges assume you’re updating fixtures, possibly repiping, and handling permit costs.
The plumbing portion depends on what you’re changing. Swapping a toilet and vanity with minimal pipe work might only be a few thousand. Relocating a shower, adding body sprays, or repiping your bathroom because the old galvanized pipes are shot—that’s where costs increase, but it’s also where you prevent future problems.
If your home was built before 1980 and still has original plumbing, budget for repiping during your remodel. It costs significantly less to replace pipes while walls are already open than it does to handle an emergency repair later when a pipe bursts behind finished drywall.
Yes, most bathroom remodels require permits in Brevard County, especially if you’re changing plumbing layouts, moving fixtures, or doing any repiping. The county wants to ensure work meets Florida Building Code, particularly around waterproofing and drainage in our humid climate.
Unpermitted plumbing work creates problems down the road. When you sell your home, buyers’ inspectors often catch unpermitted renovations, which can kill a deal or force you to rip out finished work for inspection. Insurance companies can also deny claims if they discover unpermitted plumbing contributed to water damage.
We handle the permit process as part of our bathroom renovation plumbing service. We know what Brevard County inspectors look for, we schedule inspections at the right phases, and we make sure everything passes the first time. That keeps your project moving and protects your investment.
If your Mims home was built before 1980 and still has original pipes, yes—repipe during your remodel. Galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside, reducing water pressure and eventually bursting. Cast iron drain lines crack and leak. Orangeburg pipe, which was common in older Florida homes, collapses over time.
Repiping while your walls are open costs a fraction of emergency repairs later. You’re already paying for demolition, drywall, and tile work. Adding repiping to that process is the smart move because you’re not paying twice for the same access.
The other benefit is immediate. Your water pressure improves once old, corroded pipes are replaced with PEX or copper. Your drains flow faster when we replace deteriorated drain lines. And you’re not wondering when something’s going to fail, because you’ve already addressed the problem before it became a crisis.
A straightforward bathroom remodel with standard plumbing updates typically takes two to three weeks in Mims. That includes demolition, rough plumbing, inspection, tile work, fixture installation, and final inspection. If you’re doing significant pipe rerouting services or a full repipe, add another week.
Delays usually come from one of three places: permit approval taking longer than expected, materials arriving late, or inspection failures that require rework. We minimize those by pulling permits early, ordering materials before demo starts, and doing the work right the first time so inspections pass.
The actual plumbing work—rough-in and fixture installation—might only take a few days. But it has to happen in sequence with other trades, and inspections have to occur at specific points. We coordinate that timeline so you’re not waiting around for the next phase to start.
A standard plumber handles repairs and basic installations—fixing leaks, replacing water heaters, clearing drains. A bathroom remodeling contractor manages the entire renovation, which includes plumbing but also coordinates demo, tile, electrical, and finishing work.
The advantage of working with a state-certified plumbing contractor like us for your bathroom remodel is that we handle the plumbing in-house instead of subbing it out. That means better coordination, fewer scheduling conflicts, and one point of contact when something needs to be adjusted mid-project.
We’re also thinking about your plumbing in the context of the whole remodel. If your new tile layout affects drain placement, we catch that during planning. If your fixture choices require different rough-in dimensions, we adjust before the walls are closed. A general contractor who subs out plumbing doesn’t always catch those details until it’s expensive to fix.
Yes, but there are some things you should know first. If you bought fixtures online or from a big-box store, verify they meet Florida Building Code before we start. Some imported fixtures don’t comply with local plumbing codes, and inspectors will flag them.
The other consideration is warranty. If we install a fixture you purchased and it fails due to a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer warranty might not cover labor for reinstallation. When we supply and install fixtures, our work is covered, and we handle any warranty claims directly.
That said, if you found a specific vanity or faucet you love and it meets code, we’ll install it. Just get us the specs ahead of time so we can verify rough-in dimensions match what we’re planning. The last thing anyone wants is to discover mid-install that your dream faucet requires a different valve setup than what’s in the wall.
