I’m sure most of you will agree when I say the best thing in the world is to have a long hot water shower at the end of the day. Bathrooms are as important as any other part of a home. It should be a go-to place to relax after a long day, so you can get into a zen mode.

However, bathrooms are also very busy and are prone to wear and tear, so its importance to have that balance between practicality and ambience.

If you are looking to achieve just that by renovating your bathroom, you are probably wondering where to begin, how to go about the process and thinking how much of an inconvenience it’s going to be. 

Getting your bathroom renovated can be a stress-free process if you go about it the right way and get the right people to do the job.

Us Kiwis love a good DIY job. Our ability to innovate is world-renowned, and on any given sunny weekend you’ll find us sprucing up our homes with a fresh lick of paint, knocking up a garden shed, or upcycling some old furniture.

So if there’s water dripping out from under the sink, or the toilet’s backed up, or something’s bubbling up in our backyard, it’s tempting to think that we can fix it, armed with a little elbow-grease and a can-do attitude. That’s what number 8 wire was invented for right? And we end up saving money?

Wellington has a wealth of quirky old homes that make for enchanting 'doer uppers'. When shopping for a home, it'll be a very rare instance in which you actually manage to find a new build anywhere in the vicinity of the CBD. An old home can be a charmer on the outside, but it takes a seasoned Wellington plumber to know that appearances can be deceptive...especially when it comes to buildings.

Beneath the quaint wooden floors and freshly-painted walls lies a world unseen. Unseen, that is, until you're calling up your local Wellington plumber with a plumbing emergency! Old drains and pipework lay weakened and worn, ready to 'strike' as it were at any time. Be it a slow drip in the wall or a full-on flood, we're here to tell you what to expect to avoid plumbing emergencies in your 'new' old Wellington home! ​
