Bathroom Plumbing in Brunswick, ME
Toilets, tubs, showers and vanities — installed clean and leak-free by Augusta's family-owned plumbers.
Bathroom Plumbing for Brunswick Homeowners
For bathroom plumbing in Brunswick, homeowners turn to RJC Plumbing: a family-owned, Augusta-based crew that already knows the area's homes, water and sewer setups, and how the local code office works.
Whether you are remodeling your bathroom, upgrading fixtures, or replacing a tub or shower, our experienced team delivers beautiful results with lasting quality and minimal disruption to your home.
What bathroom plumbing services do we offer in Augusta?
We replace and repair toilets, install tub and shower units, set vanities and faucets, and rough in complete bathrooms for remodels and additions. Every job ends with the fixtures tested and the room left as clean as we found it.
Bathroom remodels are the projects our customers talk about most — from a new toilet and vanity to a full tub-to-shower conversion. We quote a firm price and keep to the schedule we gave you.
Camps around Winthrop, Manchester and the Belgrade Lakes have their own needs: seasonal shut-downs, winterizing, and fixtures that have sat unused all winter. We handle those too.
Should I repair or replace a running toilet?
A running toilet wastes hundreds of gallons a week and is usually a worn flapper, fill valve or flush-valve seal. Those parts are inexpensive, and we replace them on the first visit.
If the bowl is cracked, the base leaks after re-setting, or the toilet is an older high-volume model, replacement makes more sense. We install efficient, comfort-height toilets and haul the old one away.
Tub and shower installation and repair
Leaking tub spouts, shower valves that will not hold temperature, and diverters that send water both ways are quick repairs. We carry cartridges for the common brands found in Central Maine homes.
For full replacements we remove the old unit, correct the drain and supply rough-in, set the new tub or shower, and connect the valve and trim. Tile and surround work is coordinated with your contractor.
Bathroom remodel rough-in and trim-out
On a remodel we come in twice: first to rough in supply, drain and vent lines to the new layout, then after tile and paint to set fixtures and trim. Rough-in work is done to Maine plumbing code and inspected where required.
Moving a toilet or adding a second sink changes the venting, and getting that right prevents slow drains and sewer smells later. Tell us your plan early and we will flag anything that will not work before walls are open.

Brunswick's Homes and Plumbing
Most of Brunswick drinks water from the Brunswick & Topsham Water District, which draws groundwater from wells in a sand-and-gravel aquifer. Water from its Jackson and Taylor wells is filtered for iron and manganese, and the district has run Jackson Station in Topsham, its largest source, since 1971. Inside the house, the pipes, valves and fixtures are the part a plumber looks after.
Wastewater is handled by the Brunswick Sewer District, which treats it at its plant on Pine Tree Road before discharge to the Androscoggin River. Homes beyond the water mains, including many on the rural and coastal roads, rely on private wells, and when pressure drops or the pump starts short-cycling, our well pump and pressure tank repair work covers the pump, tank, pressure switch and controls. For wet basements, see sump pump installation.
Family-Owned, Not a Franchise
RJC Plumbing answers to Brunswick homeowners directly — a small, family-owned crew, not a franchise office somewhere else. Being small means fewer layers between you and the person actually doing the work. Doing the job right the first time is how we keep a customer for years, not just one visit.

Bathroom Plumbing Questions from Brunswick Homeowners
How long does a toilet replacement take?
About an hour to ninety minutes for a straightforward swap, including a new wax ring, supply line and shut-off valve if needed. We remove and dispose of the old toilet.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes. We handle the plumbing side — removing the tub, correcting the drain location, installing the shower valve and drain, and setting a shower base or preparing for a tiled pan. Your contractor handles tile and surround.
Why does my shower lose hot water when someone runs a tap?
Older two-handle valves have no pressure balancing. A modern pressure-balanced or thermostatic valve fixes it, and we can usually install one without opening the wall from the tile side.
Do you install bathroom fixtures I purchased online?
Yes. We install customer-supplied toilets, faucets, vanities and shower trim. We will let you know before you order if a rough-in size or valve type will not fit your existing plumbing.
Do you work on camps and seasonal properties?
Yes. We serve camps around Winthrop, Manchester, the Belgrade Lakes and along the Kennebec — repairs, fixture replacements, and seasonal opening and winterizing.
Is a bathroom plumbing estimate free?
Yes. Estimates are free and no-obligation. For remodels we will look at the space and your plan and give you a firm written price.
