Bathroom Plumbing — Queen Anne Seattle & Vintage Home Experts

The bathrooms in Queen Anne Hill's historic Victorian and Craftsman homes are often among the most charming spaces in Seattle — original claw-foot tubs, pedestal sinks, period hardware, and tile work that tells the story of the home's era. Queen Anne Seattle Plumbing brings deep experience working with both vintage and contemporary bathroom plumbing throughout the 98161 zip code, and we understand how to update plumbing systems in old Seattle homes while preserving the character that makes them special.

Bathroom Plumbing Services in Queen Anne & Seattle

Claw-Foot and Vintage Tub Services

Queen Anne Hill is home to more original claw-foot tubs than perhaps any other Seattle neighborhood. These beautiful cast iron fixtures deserve expert care. We repair and replace the faucet sets on vintage claw-foot tubs, install new deck-mount and rim-mount faucets on period-appropriate hardware, repair tub drain assemblies, re-caulk tub surrounds, and repair or replace the exposed chrome supply lines that characterize claw-foot tub installations. We take care not to damage original porcelain enamel surfaces during our work.

Toilet Repair and Replacement

From running toilets wasting water to cracked bowls and failed flush mechanisms, we repair and replace toilets of all types throughout Queen Anne and Seattle. We also specialize in high-efficiency toilet installations for Seattle homeowners looking to reduce water consumption — modern dual-flush toilets use as little as 0.8 gallons per flush versus the 3.5-5 gallons used by older Queen Anne home toilets, which can translate to significant water savings.

Sink and Faucet Installation

Whether you're restoring a pedestal sink in a 1920s Queen Anne bathroom or installing a sleek modern vanity in a renovated Magnolia home, we handle all bathroom sink and faucet work. We install undermount, drop-in, and vessel sinks, connect supply lines, install P-trap drain assemblies, and test for leaks thoroughly before signing off on any installation.

Shower Valve Replacement and Repair

Shower valves — the mixing valve assembly behind your shower handle — eventually wear out and fail. Symptoms include temperature that fluctuates wildly, inability to shut off completely, or leaking through the wall. We repair and replace shower valves from all manufacturers, including the common Moen, Delta, and Price Pfister valves found in Seattle homes, as well as older valve styles in vintage Queen Anne showers.

Bathroom Remodel Plumbing

Planning a bathroom remodel in your Queen Anne or Seattle home? We handle all the rough plumbing — relocating supply and drain lines, adding new fixtures, installing radiant floor heating connections, and ensuring everything meets Seattle's current plumbing code. We work closely with your contractor, designer, or architect to ensure the plumbing rough-in is done correctly before any tile or finish work begins.

Bathroom Ventilation

Proper bathroom ventilation is critical in Seattle's humid climate — without it, moisture accumulates and leads to mold growth, damaged finishes, and eventually structural problems. We install and repair bathroom exhaust fans and ensure they vent properly to the exterior (not just into an attic space, which is unfortunately common in many older Queen Anne homes).

Adding a Bathroom to an Older Seattle Home

Many Queen Anne and Magnolia homes from the early 20th century were built with just one bathroom — an increasingly impractical arrangement for today's families. Adding a second bathroom or a half bath to an older Seattle home requires careful planning around the existing drain and supply systems. We assess the feasibility of bathroom additions in older homes, develop practical routing plans for new plumbing, and handle all aspects of the rough and finish plumbing for new bathroom construction. We obtain all required City of Seattle permits and ensure inspections are passed at every stage.
