Hot water repairs and replacement
No hot water, an unreliable temperature or a leaking system? We’ll assess the fault and explain whether a repair or replacement is the better option.
If you need a new system, we’ll discuss suitable options for your household and provide a price for supply and installation before work begins. We test the system and check for leaks before we leave.

Common questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.
Do you come out to Essendon?
Yes. We service Essendon, with same-day appointments subject to availability. Call us, explain what you need and we’ll confirm our earliest available time.
How much does a plumber cost in Essendon?
The cost depends on the problem, access to the pipework and the parts required. We assess the job and give you a price to approve before work begins. Our business-hours call-out fee is $50, which is waived if you proceed with the work. For after-hours visits, we’ll explain the applicable call-out fee when you book.
Can you replace a gas hot water system?
Yes. We replace gas storage and continuous-flow hot water systems from major brands, including Rinnai, Rheem, Bosch and others. We’ll assess your existing connections, discuss suitable replacement options and provide an upfront price.
My drain is slow but still draining. Should I wait?
It’s worth having a persistent slow drain checked before it backs up. We can investigate the cause and recommend suitable clearing or inspection work. If wastewater starts overflowing or several fixtures are affected, avoid using them and call us promptly.
Why is there water pooling in my yard when it hasn’t rained?
Persistent wet patches can indicate an underground water leak or a drainage problem. We can investigate the source and explain the recommended repair, with pricing before repair work begins.
A pipe has burst. What do I do first?
Turn off the water at the meter if it’s safe to access, then call us. Keep clear of water near electrical fittings or appliances, and avoid touching anything electrical in the affected area.
Can you find a leak I can’t see?
Yes. We investigate suspected concealed leaks, including damp walls, wet patches and unexplained increases in water use. We’ll explain the assessment needed, discuss any access required and provide a price before proceeding.
Can you fix a leaking tap or a running toilet?
Yes. We repair leaking taps, mixers and running cisterns, and install replacement fixtures when needed. We’ll assess the fault and explain your repair or replacement options before work begins.
Which other suburbs do you cover?
We also service Footscray, Sunshine, Deer Park, Caroline Springs, Sunbury, Melton and other suburbs across Melbourne’s west. Call us to confirm coverage and availability for your address.
