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 This one starts with a homeowner, and a vision to renovate her bathroom from an outdated 1970’s relic to a modern, clean, and functional bathroom.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

Leaking pipe and water not shutting off

Posted 2 months ago

We had our well pump fail a few weeks ago so had no water for a day or so. When we turned the water back on the toilet started playing up with the water not shutting off and flowing constantly into the bowl. We shut off the tap for a temporary fix. Then it only did it every now and then. Now the tap is leaking. So I feel something is off balance in the tank and we need our leak fixed from the pipe. We haven't had much success ourselves
