Bathroom Plumbing Kamloops
Renovating? We handle the rough-in and finish.
Need bathroom & kitchen plumbing in Kamloops?
Bathroom and kitchen renovations need a plumber for two stages. The rough-in moves the water and waste lines so they line up with the new layout, and the finish installs the fixtures and hooks up the appliances once the tile and cabinets are in. We work alongside your contractor or run the full plumbing scope ourselves, from a single new vanity to a second bathroom added in the basement. Most of the call volume on this page is bathroom work: relocating a toilet, swapping a tub for a curbless shower, or replacing tired galvanized supply lines while the walls are already open.

Bathroom fixture installation in Kamloops
Once the rough-in passes and the tile is set, the finish stage is where the bathroom actually comes together. We set toilets on a fresh wax or foam seal, mount wall-hung and drop-in vanities, install faucets and pop-up drains, and connect tubs, shower valves, and glass-door enclosures. If you are going to a low-profile or curbless shower we confirm the drain height and slope before anything gets glued, because that is the part that is expensive to fix after the tile is in.
We install fixtures you supply or pick them up for you. Owner-supplied is common on a reno, and it is fine. We do a quick check that the faucet, valve, and drain you bought actually fit the rough-in and the counter you chose, so a surprise does not stall the job on install day.
Bathroom plumbing repairs we handle
Not every bathroom call is a full renovation. A lot of Kamloops homeowners find this page because something in the bathroom is leaking, dripping, or running. We fix running and rocking toilets, dripping faucets and shower valves, leaking shutoff valves and supply lines, slow tub and sink drains, and the corroded trap arms common in older Sahali and North Kamloops homes.
If a small repair turns out to be the early sign of a bigger problem, like a supply line that is rotting out behind the wall or a drain that keeps clogging because of a bigger blockage downstream, we tell you on the spot and quote the real fix rather than papering over it.
Pricing
Typical pricing for bathroom & kitchen plumbing in Kamloops: Bathroom rough-in from $2,500, kitchen from $1,800. We quote you the actual price before we start work, so there are no surprises on the bill.
How quickly can we get there?
Typical response time: Schedule within 1 week. For genuine emergencies (active flooding, sewage backup, no water at all), we prioritize dispatch and get a plumber heading your way as fast as we can.
Kamloops factors that affect this repair
- Hard water chews through faucet cartridges and shower valves fast, so we set new bathroom fixtures with serviceable cartridges you can swap later instead of having to replace the whole valve body
- Many Brocklehurst and North Kamloops homes from the 1960s and 70s still run galvanized supply lines, and a bathroom reno is the right time to repipe that bathroom branch to PEX while the walls are open
- Older cast iron and ABS drain stacks in Sahali and downtown homes sometimes sit at the wrong height for a modern low-profile tub or curbless shower, so we check the drain rough-in before any tile goes in
- Kamloops bylaws require a plumbing permit and inspection for most rough-in work that moves or adds water and waste lines, and we pull the permit and meet the inspector so the finished reno passes

Questions Kamloops homeowners ask us
How much does bathroom plumbing cost in Kamloops?
A bathroom rough-in starts around $2,500 and a kitchen rough-in around $1,800, and the number moves with how far the lines have to travel and whether we are repiping old galvanized branches at the same time. Smaller jobs, like setting a new vanity and faucet or swapping a toilet, are a few hundred dollars. We quote the actual price before we start so the bill matches the estimate.
Do you pull the permit for a bathroom renovation?
Yes. Most rough-in work that moves or adds water and waste lines needs a plumbing permit and an inspection under Kamloops bylaws. We pull the permit, do the work to code, and meet the inspector so that part of your reno passes cleanly.
Can you move the toilet, sink, or shower to a new spot?
Yes. Relocating fixtures is one of the most common reasons people call this page. We move the supply and drain lines during the rough-in stage so the new layout works, and we confirm the drain slope and venting are right before the walls and floor go back on.
Will you install fixtures I bought myself?
Yes. Owner-supplied fixtures are common on a renovation and we are happy to install them. We do a quick fit check on the faucet, valve, and drain you bought against the rough-in and your counter or tub, so nothing stalls the job on install day.
How long does the plumbing part of a bathroom reno take?
The rough-in is usually one to two days, then we step back while the tile, cabinets, and counters go in. We come back for the finish stage to set the fixtures and connect everything, which is typically another day. The exact timing depends on your contractor's schedule and how much we are relocating.
