Lavatories
We provide certified repair, overhaul, and refurbishment services for aircraft lavatory monuments, waste systems, plumbing, fixtures, and interior finishes on commercial and executive aircraft.
Aircraft Lavatory Repair, Overhaul, and Refurbishment
AIRO Industries Company provides complete services for aircraft lavatory systems, from structural monument repair to plumbing overhaul to full cosmetic refurbishment. Lavatories are the smallest enclosed spaces in the cabin, but they generate some of the highest maintenance costs and some of the strongest passenger opinions. A lavatory that smells, leaks, or looks worn tells passengers everything they need to know about how an airline maintains its aircraft. Conversely, a clean, well maintained lavatory with working fixtures and fresh finishes reinforces the quality of the overall cabin experience.
Our team handles the full scope of lavatory work, from individual fixture repairs and component replacements to complete lavatory monument strip and refurbishment programs. We service standard commercial lavatories across Boeing and Airbus platforms, premium class lavatories with upgraded fixtures and finishes, and VIP lavatory suites on executive aircraft. Every project is completed with full compliance documentation and return to service approval.
AIRO Industries Company repairs and refurbishes lavatory monument structures to restore full structural integrity and cosmetic appearance. We handle wall panel replacement, floor panel repair and resurfacing, structural frame and joint reinforcement, ceiling panel service, and complete monument strip and rebuild programs.
LAVATORY MONUMENT STRUCTURE
The lavatory monument is the structural enclosure that houses all lavatory components, from the toilet and sink to the walls, door, mirror, and all associated plumbing and electrical systems. These monuments endure constant passenger use, moisture exposure, cleaning chemical contact, and the general wear that comes from being the most frequently visited space in the cabin after the seats. Over time, wall panels warp and delaminate, floor panels soften and stain, structural joints loosen, and the overall monument begins to show its age.
Lavatory Monument services include:
WASTE SYSTEMS
The vacuum waste system is the core functional system inside every aircraft lavatory. It uses differential pressure to flush waste from the toilet bowl through the waste line to the aircraft waste tank. These systems operate with tight tolerances, and failures in the flush valve, rinse ring, waste line connections, or the toilet assembly itself will take the lavatory out of service. Waste system issues are among the most common maintenance write ups on any commercial aircraft and one of the fastest ways to degrade the passenger experience.
Waste System services include:
PLUMBING AND WATER SYSTEMS
The lavatory plumbing system delivers potable water to the faucet and manages drainage from the sink basin. These systems include water supply lines, shut off valves, faucet assemblies, drain lines, drain valves, and the associated fittings and connections that keep everything sealed and functional. In aircraft that have been in service for years, plumbing components develop corrosion, mineral scaling, seal failures, and connection leaks that can damage surrounding structure if not addressed.
Plumbing and Water System services include:
FIXTURES AND VANITY UNITS
Lavatory fixtures and vanity components are the elements that passengers interact with directly. The faucet, soap dispenser, mirror, countertop, trash flap, paper towel holder, and tissue dispenser all contribute to the passenger impression of cleanliness and maintenance quality. Worn fixtures with tarnished finishes, cracked dispensers, clouded mirrors, and stained countertops make a lavatory feel neglected even if the underlying systems are working properly.
Fixture and Vanity services include:
DOORS AND DOOR SYSTEMS
Lavatory doors are high cycle components that passengers push, pull, and slide thousands of times between maintenance intervals. The door itself, the hinge system, the latch and lock mechanism, the occupied indicator, and the emergency access feature all need to function correctly for the lavatory to be serviceable. A door that sticks, a lock that jams, or an indicator that does not work properly will generate write ups and passenger complaints.
Door System services include:
LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Lavatory lighting and electrical systems include the overhead and vanity lights, the call button, the smoke detector, the occupied sign circuit, the electrical outlet (where equipped), and all associated wiring, switches, and circuit protection. These systems operate in a high moisture environment, which accelerates corrosion on connectors, wiring terminals, and switch contacts.
Exchange Program features include:
WHY OPERATORS CHOOSE AIRO FOR LAVATORIES

They operate in a harsh environment of moisture, chemicals, and constant use, and they demand attention to both the mechanical systems that make them function and the cosmetic details that make them presentable. AIRO Industries Company provides the full range of lavatory capability, from waste system overhaul to premium vanity fabrication, under one roof.
