    Re-tiling, re-waterproofing? Or just rip it back to the studs?

    I would also rip it all out and start from the studs. There could be underlying timber rot and moisture. We have had plenty of experience with this sort of thing.

    Where can I buy bathroom vanities?

    Where can I buy bathroom vanities?

    You have to be careful when buying from discount warehouses. Do they offer a warranty against faulty product? Do they offer a back up service? Some manufacturers will not offer a warranty if product sold via discount shops.

    Is it valid that I have to pay $100 to get someone use a plunger?

    As owner of the property I believe it is your responsibility to pay and fix the problem. As for the plumber, you got off lightly with just $100.00. A standard service call could set you back around $110 - $150.00 You must realise that the plumber has a business to run and even though it only...
