Hot water problems always hit at the wrong time

A cold shower at 6am. A leaking tank you did not notice until there is water on the floor. A system that has been making noises for weeks and finally stopped. We get these calls every day across Bayswater and Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

Common faults we repair include:

  • No hot water or system not turning on
  • Leaking tank, fittings, or pressure relief valve
  • Water not getting hot enough, or too hot
  • Running out of hot water too quickly
  • Strange noises, including rumbling, popping, or hissing
  • Gas system failing to ignite or cutting out mid-use
  • Not sure whether to repair or replace

Whatever the issue, we can usually talk through it over the phone and have a licensed plumber to you the same day.

Hot Water System Repair FAQs

  • It depends on the fault. For most common repairs we can give you a quote over the phone once we know what the system is doing. We price before we start, so there are no surprises on the day. If the repair cost does not make sense against a replacement, we will tell you that too.

  • Age is the biggest factor. Most systems last 10 to 15 years. If yours is younger and develops a fault, repair usually makes sense. If it is older, we will weigh up the repair cost against how much life the system likely has left and give you an honest recommendation either way.

  • For most common faults, including failed heating elements, thermostats, pressure relief valves, and gas ignition issues, yes. We carry these parts on the van and can often complete the repair in a single visit. We will confirm availability when you call.

  • Turn off the water supply to the unit if you can find the isolation valve, usually a tap or lever near the system. If you are unsure, call us and we can walk you through it. Do not ignore a leak. Even slow drips can cause water damage and the fault will not fix itself.

  • This usually points to a partially failed heating element, sediment buildup reducing the effective tank capacity, or a thermostat set too low. In some cases the system is simply undersized for the household's current usage. A quick inspection will pinpoint the cause.

  • Yes. We are based in Bayswater North and cover Melbourne's eastern suburbs, including Knox, Boronia, Heathmont, Wantirna, Ringwood, Ferntree Gully, and surrounding areas. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call.
