Phone quotes for most home plumbing jobsHome Plumbing Services in Bayswater & the Eastern Suburbs
Toilet Repairs & Installation
Toilets are one of the most-called-out plumbing jobs we do. A toilet that runs constantly is wasting water and adding to your bill. A leak at the base can cause floor damage that gets expensive if it sits. Cracked cisterns, broken flush buttons, dodgy inlet valves, and worn flapper seals are all standard fixes that we carry parts for on the van.
For replacements, we install close-coupled, back-to-wall, and concealed-cistern toilets from all major brands. We will help you pick something that suits your bathroom and gets installed level and sealed properly so it does not move or weep.
Read more about our toilet repairs and installation service.
Tap Repairs & Replacement
Dripping taps are usually a worn washer or O-ring, both of which we can replace on the spot. If the tap body itself is corroded or the spindle is past it, replacement is the better call. We work on kitchen mixer taps, bathroom basin and shower mixers, laundry tubs, and outdoor garden taps.
For new tap installs we will help you avoid the common pitfalls — flow rate that does not match the basin, tap spouts that hit the splashback, mixer cartridges that fail early on hard water. Done properly, a quality tap should last 15 years or more.

Shower Repairs & Installation
Leaking showers are often a mixer cartridge or shower arm seal that has worn out, both straightforward repairs. If the leak is behind the wall or showing up on the ceiling below, that is a different conversation — we will track down the source before opening anything up unnecessarily.
Low shower pressure is sometimes a blocked head, sometimes a pressure issue at the meter, and sometimes a mixer cartridge that has partially failed. We will diagnose the cause rather than just guessing. For new shower installs, we work alongside renovators or do the full plumbing side ourselves on smaller jobs.
Burst & Leaking Pipes
Burst pipes are an emergency. The first thing to do is turn the mains off at the meter to stop the water flow, then call us. The longer water keeps flowing the more damage it does, so this is one to phone us about rather than book online.
Slow leaks under sinks, leaks behind walls, and old galvanised pipework that has reached the end of its life are common in older Bayswater homes. We repair what is repairable and replace what is not. Where copper or galvanised has corroded through, we usually re-run with modern PEX or copper depending on the location and what the home already has.
Read more about our burst and leaking pipe repairs.
Sink, Basin & Vanity Installation
Kitchen sink replacements, bathroom basin swaps, and full vanity unit installations. We handle the plumbing side — connecting hot and cold supply, fitting drains and traps, sealing the basin or sink to the bench or wall. For full bathroom or kitchen renovations we work alongside the carpenter and tiler so the plumbing is in at the right stage.
Like-for-like swaps are usually a single-visit job. New installs that involve moving the supply or waste lines take longer and we will quote that work up front.

Dishwasher, Washing Machine & Appliance Connections
New dishwasher being delivered next week? We will rough in the supply and waste before it arrives, or come on the day to make the final connection. Same goes for washing machines, fridge water lines, and ice makers. We always fit isolation valves so the appliance can be removed for service or replacement without shutting the whole house down.
If the appliance manual specifies a particular supply pressure or fitting, we make sure it gets installed to spec. That keeps the warranty valid and avoids the leaks that are common when DIY connections are not quite right.
Read more about our appliance connection service.
Water Pressure Issues
Low pressure across the whole house can be a meter issue, a partially closed valve, or a pressure-limiting valve that has failed. Pressure that is fine at one outlet but poor at another usually points to a blockage in that line. We diagnose the cause rather than guessing.
Water hammer (banging pipes when you turn taps off) is annoying and can damage fittings over time. The fix is usually an arrestor or a valve replacement. High pressure causing taps to spray or pipes to bang is normally fixed with a pressure-limiting valve at the meter.
Backflow Prevention
Backflow prevention devices stop contaminated water from flowing back into the drinking supply. They are a compliance requirement for many commercial properties and some residential setups (irrigation systems, properties with rainwater tanks connected to the mains, etc.).
We install backflow devices, perform the annual testing required by water authorities, and lodge the certification. If you have received a notice from your water authority asking for testing, give us a call and we will sort it.
