A finished bathroom with twin above counter basins, wall mounted tapware and a walk in shower.

A bathroom with a matte black rail shower and overhead rose, a mirrored cabinet and a timber vanity with an inset basin.

Matte black, wall to floor

Rail shower and overhead rose on the one set of black fittings, and the mixer set out so the spout lands centred over the basin. Every one of those positions is fixed at rough-in, before there is a wall to hang anything on.

Bathroom renovation

Matte black tapware
A frameless shower on marble look tile with a black square overhead rose, rail shower and a floor waste set into the tile.

Overhead rose, marble tile

The overhead rose is plumbed down from the ceiling rather than out of the wall, so that run was set before the tiler ever arrived. The floor falls to the waste set into the tile.

Type
Ensuite renovation

Ceiling mounted rose
Powder room with white subway tiling, a wall hung toilet and a black rectangular above counter basin.

Subway tile, black basin

The smallest room in the house, treated like the largest. Half height subway with a capped edge, concealed cistern, and a black basin doing all the work so the palette stays quiet.

Powder room

Concealed cistern

A renovation is mostly things you will never see again. The fall on a waste, the way a wall is braced behind the tile, whether the mixer sits true. Get those wrong and the room looks fine for a year.

What customers say

  • We had a blocked toilet and found Sate Plumbing. Jonathon promptly responded and organized to come asap, on the same day. He thoroughly went through the issues and provided clear insightful information. Gave me the flexibility of options and then fixed it within the hour! He went above and beyond and explained what to do to avoid the problem reoccurring. Reliable, honest, and just amazing service. He is now my new go-to plumber! I highly recommend Jonathon. Thank you again!

  • Jonathan fitted a new hot water system to replace the old leaking one at my rental property. He did a great job and good pricing. Would recommend to others, nice fella and clean job.

Where we work

Based in Melbourne’s west, from Williamstown and Newport through Yarraville, Footscray and Sunshine, but not tied to one patch. We travel right across Melbourne and beyond. If you are not sure we come to your suburb, call and ask. Chances are we do.

Recent jobs, by suburb

Will I know the price before you start?

Yes. We look at the job, explain what it needs, and give you a written price. You approve it before any work begins, and nothing gets added to it later without you agreeing to it first.

Is there a call-out fee?

Yes, $275 plus GST. That covers coming out, looking at the job properly and telling you what it needs. If you go ahead, you get a written price before any work starts, and nothing is added to it later without you agreeing to it first.

Are you actually licensed?

Yes, licensed through the Victorian Building Authority and fully insured. Plumbing is licensed work in Victoria for good reason, and you are entitled to ask anyone who turns up at your door.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. A dripping tap or a running toilet is a real job and it gets the same written price as anything else. Plenty of what we do is the small thing that has been on the list for months.

Can you deal with a rental property?

Yes. A fair amount of this work comes through landlords and agents, and we are happy to arrange access with the tenant directly so you are not the one coordinating it.

Do you work alongside other trades?

Regularly. On a renovation we work to your tiler and your builder rather than the other way round, because waterproofing and falls have to be right before anything gets covered up.
