Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you work with my builder or renovation team?
Yes, we’re happy to work alongside your builder or renovation team. We regularly coordinate with builders on site to keep the job running smoothly and make sure the plumbing work fits into the overall project timeline.
Do I need council consent for a bathroom renovation?
You only need consent when the work involves restricted building work. This usually includes waterproofing, such as installing a tiled shower. Adding new fixtures or moving existing ones beyond certain distances may also require a building consent or a consent exemption. The rules can vary depending on the scope, so it’sbest to check with us, your builder, or Christchurch City Council before you begin your project.
How early should I book plumbing services for my renovation?
It’s best to book your plumber before the project begins. Having all your subcontractors organised in advance helps avoid delays and headaches, especially as most trades are busy and need notice. Early planning makes the renovation run smoother and helps everyone stay on schedule.
What is a realistic budget for a bathroom renovation?
A modest bathroom renovation usually starts at around $10,000. If you want a more hands-off approach where everything is taken care of including painting, flooring, shower, toilet, plumbing and electrical work, a realistic starting point is around $15,000. Every renovation is different, so it’s worth getting quotes from your builder and trades to set a budget that fits your specific project.
Are you allowed to do your own plumbing in NZ?
Some plumbing tasks are allowed to be done by homeowners, as long as they are not classed as restricted work. The list of what is and isn’t restricted is available on the NZ Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board website. Anything involving sanitary plumbing, hot water systems or work that affects health and safety must be done by a licensed plumber. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to check first.
What should homeowners prepare before the plumber arrives for renovation Work?
You’ll want to make sure the site is fully ready for the plumber so you’re not paying extra for additional trips or time lost on site. For example, if the plumber is coming for the pre-pipe stage, the walls should already be stripped, framing work completed and any new walls built before they arrive. If you’re unsure whether everything is ready, check in with your plumber ahead of time so the job can run smoothly.

Contacted Emma and Aaron for our first filter replacement for the whole house filter system Simply Plumbing installed a year prior. Cody came out, was incredibly friendly, and removed, cleaned out the housing and replaced the filters professionally and with care, and handled our 18 month old assistant who wanted to help amazingly. Such great service, I recommend the Simply Plumbing team highly and will utilise their services for any plumbing needs.+0Posted on Google![]()

Great service from Simplyplumbing. We had a simple job and a potentially more complex on. They fixed the simple one “simply” and analysed the other one, sorting it out and saving us potentially a few thousand dollars. Highly recommended 👍Posted on Google![]()

A huge thank you to Aaron, Brogan and the team at Simply Plumbing for a fantastic experience. Aaron was incredibly easy to deal with from the first enquiry through to completion of the job. His communication was excellent, the quote was very competitive, and organising a time for the work was straightforward and hassle free. Brogan and his team did an outstanding job. They were friendly, respectful, and very considerate of the occupant of the property. They took care with the space, put everything back when they needed to move it, and completed the work efficiently and to a high standard. Most importantly, the occupant was extremely impressed with the team and had only positive things to say about their professionalism and workmanship. The entire process was seamless from beginning to end. I wouldn't hesitate to use Simply Plumbing again and highly recommend them to others. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
