Brisbane’s Go To Plumber for Bathtub Installation
Thinking about a new tub? Our bathtub installation plumbing services helps locals upgrade their bathrooms with clean, reliable plumbing. Whether you're replacing a cracked tub or doing a full bathroom reno, we install all types of bathtubs safely and properly, so you can enjoy long, relaxing soaks without worry.
Why Brisbane Homes Often Need New Bathtubs
Brisbane’s weather, especially the summer heat and humidity, can be tough on bathroom fixtures. Over time, bathtubs can crack, discolour, or develop slow leaks that lead to water damage. In older suburbs like Coorparoo and Bardon, many homes still have original tubs that are heavy, rusted, or no longer sealed properly.
Brisbane homeowners often choose to upgrade for a few simple reasons:
- Cracked or leaking tubs causing hidden water damage
- Bathroom renovations needing new layouts or updated styles
- Replacing hard to clean surfaces with new materials
- Installing safer tubs for kids or elderly residents
Types of Bathtubs We Install
Every home is different, so we install a range of tub types to suit your space and needs:
- Freestanding tubs
- Drop in or inset tubs
- Shower over bath combos
- Corner or spa style tubs
- Acrylic, enamel, and cast iron finishes
If you’re not sure which type is best for your bathroom layout, we can help you decide on something that fits well and drains properly.
How the Bathtub Installation Process Works
Our team handles everything from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect when we install your new tub:
- We disconnect your old tub and inspect the pipework
- We prepare the floor and wall surfaces for a tight, level fit
- We fit the new tub, connect the drain and tapware, and test for leaks
- We seal all joints to stop future water damage
- We clean up the area and leave your bathroom ready to use
Most installs take less than a day, depending on the condition of your existing plumbing.
When Is the Right Time to Replace a Bathtub?
Some tubs clearly need replacing, but others slowly wear out. If you’re unsure whether to keep or replace your bathtub, here are a few signs to watch for:
- You’ve had to reseal the tub more than once in a short time
- Stains or rust won’t come off, even after deep cleaning
- The base feels weak or creaks when stepped in
- Water takes too long to drain or leaks under the tub
- You’re renovating and want a modern look
What to Consider When Planning a Bathtub Install
Not all bathrooms are the same, and bathtubs need the right space, weight support, and pipe setup. Before we start, we’ll check:
- Water pressure and pipe placement
- Floor strength (especially in old Queenslanders)
- Drain height and location
- Tap style (wall-mounted or tub-mounted)
- Ventilation to prevent mould buildup
If your bathroom is upstairs or tight on space, we’ll talk through options that suit the layout.

Tips to Keep Your Bathtub in Good Condition
With the right care, your tub can last years without trouble. Here are a few simple tips:
- Don’t use harsh cleaners that damage the surface
- Wipe down the edges to stop seal damage or mould
- Check for small leaks around the base or wall joints
- Clean hair and debris out of the drain regularly
In humid suburbs like Mount Gravatt East, moisture builds up quickly. Ventilating your bathroom helps stop mould and damage over time.
