Whether you're working with a general contractor, a designer, or going direct, we coordinate seamlessly and do quality work that lasts.
A bathroom renovation is more than tile and fixtures. The plumbing rough-in is the foundation everything else is built on. When it's done right, the rest of the project flows. When it's done wrong, it shows up in callbacks and leaks long after the tile is set.
Hot and cold supply lines plumbed properly and in the right locations, before walls are closed up.
Proper pitch, clean connections, and proper vent sizing. Creating continuous flow.
Thermostatic, pressure-balancing, or volume controls. Set at the right depth for your tile thickness so the trim plate hits flush.
Floor-mount supply and drain connections, including freestanding tub fillers and deck-mount faucets with proper backing in the subfloor.
Single and double vanities, vessel sinks, wall-mount fixtures. Supply and drain connections that align with the cabinet layout.
Final placement once finishes are complete. We coordinate return trips for fixture setting so your contractor doesn't have to chase the plumber.
"Quality work that lasts."
Ian Burt, Owner / Licensed Master PlumberProtection plates, proper pitch, triple checking our work, and testing is what thorough plumbing looks like.
We're kind, courteous, and respectful of people's homes. We believe in proper communication and teamwork with everyone on the job site. When issues arise, we take swift action in problem solving to ensure the job continues to run smoothly.
A bathroom renovation involves a lot of trades moving in sequence. We believe in laying out a clear plan of action from the start, with active involvement and communication on our end from the rough-in to the finish.

A bathroom renovation is not a service call.
In Massachusetts, a permit is required anytime plumbing or gas piping is altered. A Master Plumber license means no complications at inspection, and no re-work required.
Freestanding tubs, body sprays, steam connections, and radiant floor heating all have specific code requirements. Master Plumber training covers all of them across both MA and NH.
Licensed in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, meaning no delays or licensing complications on projects in either state. One plumber handles the whole project.
Choosing a Master plumber for your projects, ensures all work will be done to the highest standard.
We work with many different brands of fixtures. We can guide you towards the best product for your project needs.
Ian Burt trained at Whittier Tech and holds a Business Management degree from Northern Essex CC, an unusual combination that shows up in how the work gets scheduled and delivered.
We move in sequence with your project. The goal is to stay ahead of the other trades so nobody is waiting on us.
We review your plans or scope, ask the right questions, and give you a clear picture of what we handle and when we need to be on site.
Supply lines, drain piping, and all in-wall or under-floor work happen before the tile setter and the drywall crew. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection.
We work around your schedule and your other contractors. We communicate clearly about what we need and flag anything that could affect the next trade in line.
Once finishes are complete, we return to connect fixtures, set the toilet, hang the vanity plumbing, and make sure everything works before we leave.

Straightforward answers about what bathroom renovation plumbing involves and how we work.
Ask a Different QuestionThe plumber handles everything water or drain related: supply line rough-in, drain piping and venting, shower valve and body spray installation, tub drain rough-in, toilet rough-in, vanity supply and drain connections, and fixture setting once your finishes are complete. For heated floors tied into a hydronic system, we handle that too. See our hydronic heating page for more on that work.
For any work that involves moving or adding drain or supply lines (which most bathroom renovations do), yes. We pull the permit in your town and schedule the inspection. When you have a licensed plumber handling that step, the permit process is straightforward and your homeowner's insurance coverage stays intact.
Yes. That's a significant part of our work. We enjoy collaborating with contractors and designers. We can coordinate directly with your GC on scheduling, work from a designer's fixture schedule, and communicate clearly with whoever else is on the project. If you're managing your own renovation, we'll work directly with you as well.

Call us to discuss your project. We'll ask about scope, timeline, and who else is on the job.
