The benefits of sorting plumbing early

Little plumbing issues rarely stay little. Tackling them early pays off in comfort and cost.

Protect your home: Early leak detection reduces the chance of swollen cabinetry, stained ceilings and damaged flooring.
Reduce water use: Fixing dripping taps and running toilets can noticeably trim your water bill.
Keep life moving: Reliable hot water and clear drains make mornings smoother for everyone.
Plan: Regular plumbing checks help you budget for bigger items like hot water replacement or bathroom updates—no last-minute scrambles.
Add value: A home with neat plumbing, modern tapware and steady pressure simply feels better to live in.

Our Domestic Plumbing Services (Manly West & nearby)

We handle day-to-day maintenance and the bigger jobs that pop up in family homes. If you don’t see what you need below, just ask.

Emergency leaks & bursts

If water’s going where it shouldn’t, turn off the main at the water meter (usually near the front boundary) and give us a call. We’ll guide you through the immediate steps, isolate the issue, carry out repairs and check for related damage.

Blocked toilets, sinks & drains

From a slow basin to a fully blocked loo, we clear blockages with the right gear—plungers, mechanical augers and high-pressure jetting as needed. Where it makes sense, we’ll camera-inspect to identify tree roots, collapsed sections or build-ups, then recommend long-term fixes that suit your home.

Leak detection & repair

Hidden leaks are sneaky. Signs include damp smells, the water meter spinning when nothing’s on, or swollen kickboards. We track them down using pressure tests and practical checks around taps, flexi-hoses, cisterns and appliance connections, then complete tidy repairs.

Hot water systems

No hot water, temperature swings or slow recovery? We service and replace electric storage, heat pump and gas units. We’ll help you pick a system sized to your household so showers, washing and the dishwasher can coexist happily. Tempering valve checks and safe discharge included.

Tapware & mixers

Drips, stiff handles, and splashy spouts are everyday problems. We repair or replace cartridges, seats and washers, or install new mixers and outlets that suit your sink depth, bench height and style.

Toilets: repairs & replacements

Running cisterns, wobbly pans, weak flushes—sorted. If a replacement is the smarter move, we’ll install a new suite with tidy fixings and a comfortable projection for cleaning and everyday use.

Kitchen & laundry plumbing

Dishwasher connections, fridge water lines, new sinks or troughs, mixer swaps, and neat under-sink pipework. Small upgrades here make daily life simpler and cleaner.

Bathroom plumbing & upgrades

From a new shower mixer to a full ensuite refresh, we align plumbing layout with your tiler, cabinetmaker and sparky so the result looks and works beautifully.

Gas fitting (appliances & safety checks)

We install and connect gas cooktops and ovens, check lines and advise on safe operation. If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the supply and contact us—safety first.

Roof, gutter & downpipe repairs

Leaking ceilings after summer storms? We inspect flashings, penetrations, gutters and downpipes, then carry out practical repairs to keep rain where it belongs—outside.

Rainwater tanks & pumps

We set up pumps and connections for garden taps or toilet supply, with clear advice on use and maintenance so you’re confident running the system.

Outdoor taps & hose bibs

New garden taps in sensible locations, repairs to weepers, and isolation valves where helpful.

Strata & property management

Responsive maintenance with clear notes and photos where useful. We’re easy to work with and mindful of tenants’ schedules.

On-site assessment
We arrive on time, protect the area, and investigate carefully. Before tools come out, we explain what we’ve found and outline your options.

Every day, Manly West plumbing problems we fix

The toilet that never stops filling—a small part, a big water waster.
Dripping kitchen mixers that won’t shut off without a wrestle.
Slow showers that puddle around your feet.
Noisy pipes when the washing machine fills or taps shut quickly.
Hot water ‘mood swings’—scalding one minute, lukewarm the next.
Smelly kitchen sinks from trapped food in old traps.
Roof drips after a downpour, usually at flashings or skylight edges.
Outdoor taps that spray, drip or are just too far from where you actually need them.

We’ve seen it all—and we’ll sort it calmly and cleanly.

Renovations: make the plumbing do the heavy lifting

A great bathroom, kitchen or laundry renovation relies on smart plumbing layout. We help you:

Map out sensible locations for mixers, spouts, shower heads and wastes.
Get the falls right so water moves to the floor wastes (not across the room).
Choose fixtures that suit your water pressure, family routine and cleaning style.
Coordinate trades so plumbing, tiling, electrical and cabinetry line up—no awkward last-minute changes.
Stage the work to minimise time without essential services.

Bring your ideas and inspo pics—we’ll turn them into a practical plan that looks good and works every day.

Choosing fixtures that suit real life

Beautiful fixtures are great. Beautiful and practical is even better. When picking tapware, showers and toilets, we’ll chat about:

Flow and pressure so showers feel right and sinks don’t splash.
Cleaning time—simpler shapes and quality finishes make weekly wipe-downs quicker.
Durability for family life (and enthusiastic little helpers).
Compatibility with your existing pipes, bench heights and sink depths.
Plans so today’s choices work with tomorrow’s renovation.

Simple plumbing tips that save headaches

Know your water meter and isolation valves.
In an emergency, turning off the main switch buys time. We’re happy to show you where everything is and how it works.
Check flexi-hoses
Those braided hoses under vanities and sinks age out. If you notice rust, bulges or fraying, let’s replace them before they fail.
Be kind to drains
Scrape plates, use sink strainers, and avoid tipping fats and oils down the kitchen sink. In bathrooms, keep wipes, cotton buds and sanitary items out of the toilet.
Keep an eye on your water bill.
A sudden jump can signal a hidden leak. Turn everything off and see if the meter still moves.
Service hot water systems
Periodic checks on valves and connections help units last longer and run more consistently.
