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 This one starts with a homeowner, and a vision to renovate her bathroom from an outdated 1970’s relic to a modern, clean, and functional bathroom.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

Underhouse drainage 1 2

Posted 10 months ago

The downstairs area of my house (currently used as a shed/storage) in Atawhai floods every time there is a heavy rain. The house is built against a bank, so the residual rain is building up in the bank and coming through the dowstairs. I think it needs new drainage put across the back concrete retaining wall. This is more than plumbing - I think it's to do with water tables and retaining walls.

The pressure is (not) on.

Posted 7 months ago

The water pressure in our house is terrible & needs fixing. There's good pressure into the house however low pressure from almost all outlets in the house. The hotwater for all outlets not below the hot water tank itself (low pressure system with header tank) are very weak and both hot and cold from the kitchen tap are pretty useless.
