Homes On Show - Save My Bathroom

Posted 30/05/18

Behind every job there is a story. This one starts with a homeowner, and a vision to renovate her bathroom from an outdated 1970’s relic to a modern, clean, and functional bathroom. The Dilemma The story starts with Joanne and her first tradie, a referral from a friend. The tradie seemed great. The homeowner and the tradie agreed that Joanne would buy everything that was needed for the bathroom, and the tradie gave her a cost to install and renovate to her plan. Fast forward three months and the tradie was nowhere to be seen and uncontactable. With the goods for her bathroom waiting in Mitre 10 and a loan taken out for the project, Joanne was desperate to get the job underway. The Solution “I spoke to someone at work, saying I didn’t know what to do. I needed to have my bathroom renovated, and my colleague said, have you put it on Builderscrack? Then they showed me how Builderscrack works, how to log on and use the site. I put the advert on the next day, and within two

Repair, reinstall toilet.

Posted 4 months ago

We had a second toilet installed as part of renovation. The toilet was new. Not long after installation was completed and job finished water was leaking from pipe under the house. We got the builder we used and the plumber back to fix it which they did. Now a year later it is obviously leaking again. Black mould again behind the toilet. We have approached the original builder and plumber again. Little interest shown. Both are LBPs. Wall behind toilet also needs repairs.
