A real person answers, day or night
Renovations are when old drainage finally gets noticed
A renovation is the moment old drainage finally gets noticed, so getting it assessed before the new bathroom or extension goes in saves tearing up fresh tiles to fix a pipe underneath them later.
What a Bunnerong Road renovation usually uncovers
- Cottages original to the soldier-settlement years off Bunnerong Road and Daunt Avenue still carry their first drainage layout Once walls come off for a renovation, that original pipework is usually the first thing a plumber checks before any new fixture goes in.
- Fibro and double-brick homes from the same era often hide galvanised as well as earthenware Both need assessing differently, and neither should simply be assumed sound just because it hasn't caused a visible problem yet.
- A full drainage repair here often runs alongside the renovation's own trade schedule Timing it to the build rather than around it keeps the project moving instead of stalling on a discovery made mid-job.
Drainage repair and installation services we provide
Four jobs make up most of the repair and installation work our drainage crew handles, each priced once the scope is actually confirmed:
Full pipe replacement
A full section of failed pipe, whether crushed, collapsed or simply too far gone for any relining, gets dug out and replaced entirely, restoring the proper fall and diameter rather than patching around a problem that will only genuinely return.
New bathroom and laundry drainage
A new bathroom or laundry needs drainage installed to current standards from the very first fixture onward, and getting the fall and pipe sizing right at that stage avoids a slow or noisy drain once the tiling is finally finished.
Extension drainage connections
An extension or a knockdown rebuild often needs its drainage tied into an existing street connection laid decades before the new build was ever even being planned, and matching old to new properly is what genuinely stops early problems developing.
New stormwater connections
Installing a new stormwater connection for an extra roof area or paved surface means carefully sizing the pipe for what the property will genuinely actually shed in a real storm, not just whatever happened to already be there beforehand originally.
Where infill blocks add their own wrinkle
- Streets built from the 1980s onward, including the old drive-in and Peninsula/Mawarra estate sites, mostly connect to newer street infrastructure Even there, a new extension or granny flat still needs its own drainage assessed against what that connection can actually carry.
- Loading an already-shared line with an extra bathroom or laundry without checking capacity first is a common install mistake It shows up on these newer blocks more than the older ones, and it is entirely avoidable with a proper check before the trench opens.
Common repair and installation problems we fix
Two patterns turn up often once a renovation or repair job actually gets underway:
Old meets new, badly
A join between old earthenware and newer plastic pipe fails well before either material would fail on its own, because the two were never designed to move or age together, and replacing that transition section properly solves it for good.
Extension outgrows the line
An extension outgrows the drainage it was quietly connected to, and what worked fine for the original house alone starts backing up once the extra bathroom or laundry adds real load to an undersized original line.
Why getting it right the first time matters
Getting drainage repair or installation wrong at the planning stage costs more than getting it right the first time:
- A mismatched pipe join fails faster than either pipe would alone What looks like a completed repair on the surface can be a weak point underground from day one, resurfacing as a blockage within the first year or two.
- Undersized drainage on a new extension shows up immediately A bathroom or laundry added without checking the existing line's capacity first often needs revisiting within months of the renovation actually being finished and signed off.
- A properly installed system avoids compliance headaches at sale time Drainage done to standard now is one less thing a building inspector flags when the property eventually goes back on the market.
How it works
The repair and installation process, step by step
The steps this crew follows on every drainage job, big or small:
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0513 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Install and test
Your plumber installs or replaces the drainage the property actually needs, ties it correctly into the existing system, and pressure-tests the finished work before handing over a result that's genuinely ready for tiles or turf to go down.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Matraville
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Matraville works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Maroubra, Eastgardens, Hillsdale, Phillip Bay, Chifley and Malabar all genuinely get the exact same repair and installation work too, every job quoted to the same fixed-price standard whatever the scope of the job actually happens to involve on the day.

Good questions, straight answers
Drainage repair questions Matraville homeowners raise
How much does drainage repair or installation cost?
The price depends entirely on the scope, a single failed section replaced is a very different job to a full drainage layout for an extension, and the written quote reflects whichever one it actually is.
Is new drainage work compliant and certified?
Yes, new drainage work is completed to current plumbing standards and, where the scope requires it, the necessary compliance certificates are provided with the invoice so the paperwork trail is sorted without you chasing anyone.
When should I involve a plumber if I'm renovating?
It depends on the extension's scale, but generally the sooner a plumber sees the plans, the easier it is to size and route drainage correctly the first time, rather than adjusting around finished framing later.
Is it really a problem joining old and new pipe?
Genuinely yes, the transition where old earthenware meets a newer plastic pipe is a known weak point, and using the correct adaptor and support at that join stops it becoming the first thing to fail.
Do I need to be on site for the whole job?
For an internal job, generally, since access and approvals matter more than continuous supervision, though a full external dig benefits from someone available to confirm final placement before the trench actually gets closed back up.
Is the new drainage work guaranteed?
Yes, every repair or new installation is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so a genuine workmanship fault gets corrected at no cost to you, regardless of how long it takes to actually show up.
