The housing here runs from 1950s postwar cottages to brick-veneer places from later decades, so the jobs range just as wide. One week it is a washer in an original shower tap; the next it is replumbing a full renovation.
The Pipes Behind Your Shower, Basin and Bath
A bathroom runs on three systems: the supply, the waste lines and the fixtures at each end. Here is what each part does.
Supply
hot and cold lines feed each fixture, with a mixer or tap controlling the flow at the shower, tub or hand basin.
Waste
drainage pipes carry the spent water from each fixture out to the sewer, with a trap holding the smells back.
Fixtures
the shower, bathtub and hand basin, plus the spouts and mixers fitted to them.
Some 1950s and early 1960s cottages still run their original glazed clay house drains, and where those survive they shape what a renovation can do. We check the drain before quoting any job that moves a fixture.
Swapping, Adding or Moving a Bathroom Fixture
Two categories cover a bathroom change: replacing a fixture with a matching new one is minor work; installing an extra fixture, or shifting one along the wall, makes the job notifiable. Notifiable work is work the plumber reports to the QBCC on a Form 4 once it is done.
A straight swap
fitting a new shower, basin, bath or tap where the old one sat is minor work. A licensed plumber does the job, no council permit is needed and no Form 4 goes in.
An extra or shifted fixture
adding a second basin, or moving the shower to a new position, is notifiable work. No permit applies, and the plumber lodges a Form 4 with the QBCC within 10 business days of finishing, then hands you your copy.
Permit territory
special cases, such as a structure over the shared drain at the boundary, still go to council for a permit.
Why Most Bathroom Plumbing Is Licensed Work
Yes, a licensed plumber has to carry out regulated bathroom plumbing, and the list of jobs outside that rule is short. Queensland leaves just two bathroom tasks open to anyone with the skill: changing a shower head, and renewing the washer or the jumper valve within a tap.
Everything else in the room belongs to a licence holder, and fitting a whole new tap is licensed work too. The licensing rule protects the home, the owner's health and the owner's rights.
Licence or no licence, the finished job still has to reach the minimum standard the plumbing rules set. A handy repair that leaks does not meet it.
WELS, WaterMark and the Temperature Limit
Every tap, shower and fixture sold for a bathroom carries two marks: WaterMark certification and WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) registration. Each mark answers a different question.
WaterMark
the product satisfies the national plumbing code's safety and fitness-for-purpose requirements.
WELS
the national water-efficiency scheme registers the product, and the label shows the star rating and the water use.
3 stars
Queensland sets a 3-star minimum for showerheads and tapware in a new dwelling. That minimum applies to new builds only, not to renovations.
50°C
Queensland's plumbing rules require a temperature control device that limits hot water at the taps to 50°C or below in a home. The state rates that level as enough for hygiene and gentle on scalding risk.
The Bathroom Work We Cover
Keperra Plumbing Services splits the wet area into four corners, each with its own page:
Repairs and Faults
New Fittings and Renovations
Many postwar cottages still run original water services under driveways and kerbs, pipes now around seventy years old. A renovation that adds fixtures at the far end of an Annandale Street block may need that supply renewed before the new tapware goes in.
Toilets, taps, kitchens and laundries sit on other pages: tap and toilet plumbing and kitchen and laundry plumbing. Water heating for the bathroom lives on the hot water plumbing page.

Your Bathroom Plumbing Questions Answered
Call (07) 3523 7121Does a bathroom reno in Keperra need council approval?
No, most bathroom changes in an existing home count as notifiable work, which needs no council permit. A permit only applies in unusual situations, for example a structure built over the shared drain at the boundary.
Is moving my shower or basin notifiable work?
Yes, in an existing home a new or relocated fixture makes the job notifiable work. Your plumber lodges a Form 4 with the QBCC within 10 business days of finishing and gives you your copy.
What certification should taps and showerheads carry?
Both marks. WaterMark certification shows the product satisfies the national plumbing code, and WELS registration covers water efficiency, with the stars and the water use printed on the label.
When does a bathroom repair become a renovation job?
When the job adds or shifts a fixture instead of swapping it. A matching replacement in the same spot is minor work; anything that adds or moves a fixture is notifiable, which is the class Queensland gives renovation plumbing.
How do I check my bathroom plumber is licensed?
Search the QBCC's online registers. They show whether your plumber's licence is current and whether a Form 4 has been lodged for the property after notifiable work.
What changes the price of bathroom plumbing in Keperra?
Fixture count, pipe access and pipe condition set the price, plus paperwork on notifiable jobs. Every job lands as a fixed quote before any work starts, so the figure is settled before we begin.
