Your shower pressure stays consistent even when someone flushes the toilet. Your new vanity doesn’t leak onto the floor six months later. The fixtures you picked actually fit the rough-in because someone measured twice.
That’s what proper bathroom remodeling plumbing looks like. Not just pipes that pass inspection, but a system designed around how you’ll actually use the space.
Most homeowners in Orsino, FL don’t realize the plumbing phase determines everything else. If your drain lines slope wrong or your supply lines can’t handle the new fixtures, you’re looking at callbacks, water damage, or ripping out finished work. We rough in the plumbing correctly the first time so your contractor can finish on schedule and your bathroom functions the way you expected.
You’re not just getting new tile and a fresh coat of paint. You’re getting a bathroom that works better than the day your house was built.
We’ve been handling bathroom renovation plumbing throughout Brevard County for nearly two decades. We’re licensed (#CFC1428379), insured, and we’ve seen what happens when shortcuts get taken during remodels.
A lot of homes in Orsino were built before 1980. That means galvanized pipes, outdated drain configurations, and water pressure issues you won’t discover until the walls are open. We know what to look for because we’ve repiped dozens of bathrooms in this area.
Every job gets overseen by the owner. You’re not dealing with a different crew every week or waiting on a callback that never comes. You get straight answers about what needs to happen and how long it’ll take.
First, we walk the space with you and figure out what’s staying and what’s moving. If you’re relocating a toilet or adding a second sink, we need to know before demo starts. We’ll tell you right then if your drain lines can handle it or if we need to reroute.
Once the walls are open, we handle the rough-in work. That’s running new supply lines, relocating drains, and installing any shut-off valves or access panels you’ll need later. If your house has old galvanized or cast iron pipes, this is when we replace them with PEX or copper that won’t corrode in Florida’s humidity.
Everything gets pressure tested before the walls close up. We coordinate the required inspections with the county so your contractor isn’t waiting around. Once we pass, we come back after tile and paint to install your fixtures: toilet, vanity, faucets, shower valve, tub if you’re keeping it.
Most bathroom remodels with plumbing work take four to six weeks total. The actual plumbing phase is usually done in a few days, but timing depends on inspections and what else is happening on the job. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
Ready to get started?
You get rough-in plumbing for any new layout or fixture relocation. That covers supply lines, drain lines, and vent stacks. If you’re doing a tub-to-shower conversion, we handle the demo, the new drain assembly, and the valve rough-in for whatever shower system you picked.
We install all your fixtures once the finish work is done: toilets, sinks, faucets, shower heads, tub fixtures if applicable. If you’re adding a floating vanity or wall-mounted toilet, we install the blocking and carriers inside the wall so everything mounts securely.
For older homes in Brevard County, we recommend repiping during the remodel if your walls are already open. Replacing 40-year-old galvanized pipes now costs a fraction of what you’d pay for an emergency repipe later, and you won’t have to tear out your new bathroom to fix a burst pipe. We use corrosion-resistant materials like PEX and copper that hold up in Florida’s climate.
If you’re working with a general contractor or doing some of the work yourself, we can handle just the plumbing portion and coordinate timing with the rest of your project. Everything gets done to code, inspected properly, and backed by our license and insurance.
It depends on what you’re changing. If you’re keeping everything in the same spot and just swapping fixtures, you’re looking at the lower end. If you’re moving a toilet, adding a second sink, or converting a tub to a walk-in shower, the cost goes up because we’re running new drain lines and possibly rerouting vents.
For a typical bathroom remodel in Brevard County, plumbing usually runs between $3,000 and $8,000 depending on scope. That includes rough-in work, any necessary repiping, fixture installation, and inspections. If your house was built before 1980 and we find galvanized pipes that need replacing, that adds to the cost but saves you from a much bigger repair bill down the road.
We give you an upfront estimate after we see the space and understand what you’re trying to do. No surprises, no “we’ll figure it out as we go.” You’ll know what it costs before we start.
If your house was built before 1980 and the walls are already open, yes. This is your window to replace aging pipes before they fail. Many older homes in Orsino still have galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that are corroding from the inside.
Rust builds up, water pressure drops, and eventually you get leaks. The problem is, once you’ve finished your bathroom with new tile and fixtures, the last thing you want is to rip it apart again because a 50-year-old pipe burst behind the wall. Repiping during a remodel costs less because we’re already in the walls, and the work goes faster.
We replace old piping with PEX or copper that resists corrosion, improves your water pressure, and gives you decades of trouble-free use. It’s not required, but it’s one of the smartest investments you can make during a bathroom renovation.
The actual plumbing work usually takes a few days, but the timeline depends on inspections and what else is happening with your remodel. Rough-in work—running new supply lines, relocating drains, installing shut-offs—typically takes one to two days once the walls are open.
After rough-in, we schedule the plumbing inspection with Brevard County. That can take a few days to a week depending on their schedule. Once we pass inspection, your contractor can close up the walls and move forward with tile, paint, and finish work.
We come back at the end to install fixtures: toilet, vanity, faucets, shower components. That’s usually another day or two. Most full bathroom remodels with plumbing work take four to six weeks total from start to finish, but we’ll give you a more specific timeline based on your project scope.
Yes. We work with general contractors and DIY homeowners all the time. We handle the plumbing rough-in, coordinate inspections, and come back for fixture installation while your contractor or you handle the demo, tile, paint, and other finish work.
The key is timing. We need the space demoed and ready for rough-in, then we need to finish and pass inspection before walls get closed up. After that, we stay out of the way until you’re ready for fixtures.
We’re used to coordinating with other trades, and we communicate clearly about scheduling so nobody’s waiting around. You get licensed, insured plumbing work that’s done right, and your contractor keeps the project moving. It’s a common setup and it works well when everyone stays on the same page.
First, we demo and remove your old tub. Then we reconfigure the drain assembly because most walk-in showers use a different drain location and size than a standard tub. If you’re installing a curbless shower, we may need to adjust the floor slope and drain placement to meet code.
We rough in the new shower valve and any body sprays, handheld wands, or rain heads you’re adding. If you want separate temperature controls or digital shower systems, we install the rough-in valves and verify everything’s compatible with your fixture choices. Everything gets pressure tested and inspected before your tile goes in.
Once the tile and waterproofing are done, we come back to install the trim, shower head, handles, and any accessories. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most popular bathroom updates right now, especially for homeowners who want easier access or more space. The plumbing portion usually adds a few days to your remodel timeline, but the result is a more functional, modern bathroom.
Yes. Wall-mounted and floating vanities require blocking installed inside the wall during the rough-in phase. We install the wood or metal supports that the vanity mounts to, making sure they’re level, secure, and positioned at the right height for your specific vanity model.
We also rough in the supply lines and drain assembly so they’re concealed in the wall rather than coming up through the floor. That’s what gives you the clean, floating look. If you’re installing a vessel sink or an undermount sink with a wall-mounted faucet, we rough in the valve at the correct height and spacing.
During the fixture installation phase, we mount the vanity, connect the supply lines, install the faucet, and hook up the drain. Wall-mounted vanities are popular in modern bathroom remodels because they create more floor space and make cleaning easier, but they require proper backing and plumbing placement to work correctly. We’ve installed dozens of them throughout Brevard County and know exactly what’s needed to make them secure and functional.
