Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Coogee?

Fixed Today Plumbing handles blocked drains, leaking taps, gas fitting, and hot water faults across Coogee (2034), dispatching from localised hubs across Sydney to reach most Eastern Suburbs properties within typical response windows. We're licensed in NSW (305428C), adequately insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation, and back all workmanship with a Lifetime Labour Warranty. Urgent jobs are sent out first, with an ETA provided when you book.

Coogee sits within Randwick City Council, bordered by Clovelly to the south and Randwick to the west. The suburb mixes Federation-era cottages (many built 1900, 1920 with original terracotta and cast iron drainage) and post-war brick units near the beachfront, alongside modern apartment blocks in the Arden Street and Carr Street precincts. Older properties along Coogee Bay Road and the streets backing onto Dunningham Park often show root intrusion from established Moreton Bay figs and Norfolk Island pines, while coastal units deal with salt corrosion affecting external pipework and balcony drainage.

We've worked across Coogee for over 15 years, from heritage cottage re-pipes near Grant Reserve to strata drainage repairs in the high-density blocks along Beach Street. Our team carries drain inspection cameras, high-pressure water jetters, and electronic leak location equipment to confirm scope onsite, then provide a fixed-price quote before we begin. You decide once scope is defined. Same-day service is available for standard bookings, and we're on call 24/7 for emergencies.

Professional Plumbing Services in Coogee

We handle the full range of residential and light commercial plumbing across Coogee: clearing blocked drains and sewers, repairing broken pipes, installing and servicing hot water systems (gas, electric, and heat pump), detecting and fixing gas leakages, relining damaged pipes without excavation, upgrading bathrooms and kitchens, and responding to after-hours emergencies. Each job follows the same process; diagnose the fault onsite using cameras or leak detection where needed, confirm the scope and provide a fixed quote, complete the installation or repair to Australian Standards, then test and verify before leaving.

Our licensing covers plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting (NSW Licence 305428C), so we can handle interconnected issues like a blocked sewer affecting internal drainage, or a hot water upgrade requiring new gas supply lines. We explain what we find in plain English, confirm inclusions and exclusions before starting, and provide receipts suitable for landlords, strata, and insurance claims. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, with manufacturer warranties applying to parts and appliances.

Toilet upgrades in Castle Hill, blocked sewer clearing in Carlingford, and pipe relining in West Pennant Hills follow the same standards we apply in Coogee. Whether you're in a Federation cottage near Grant Reserve or a beachfront apartment along Arden Street, we adapt our approach to suit the property type, access constraints, and existing infrastructure. Call us to arrange an assessment or ask about scope, pricing, and timing for your specific situation.

Fixed Pricing Before Work Starts

We provide a fixed-price quote once scope is established onsite, priced by the job rather than by the hour. The quote is valid for one month, and the price you're quoted is the price you pay. No hidden costs added at the end.

Family-Owned with 800+ Verified Reviews

We're a family-owned business with over 15 years operating across Sydney and a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews. Our reputation is built on transparent communication and quality workmanship.

24/7 Emergency Dispatch for Coogee

Urgent jobs are prioritised and sent out first from our Eastern Suburbs dispatch points. We're available 24/7 for emergencies, with ETA updates provided once the technician is allocated and en route.

Licensed, Insured, and Police-Checked

All attending technicians are fully licensed NSW plumbers, and we carry current Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. Our team undergoes police and background checks, and technicians arrive in uniform with identification.

Leaking Taps

A tap dripping once per second wastes around 11,400 litres annually; equivalent to more than 180 showers. In Coogee's older Federation cottages, leaking taps often trace back to worn ceramic disc cartridges or corroded valve seats in original brass tapware, while modern mixer taps in beachfront apartments typically fail due to salt-affected O-rings or cracked ceramic discs.

We locate the cause using onsite inspection, confirm whether the tap needs a washer replacement, cartridge swap, or full tap replacement, then provide a fixed quote before proceeding. Leak detection is included where the drip suggests a hidden fault behind the wall or under the sink. If the leak has caused water damage to cabinetry or flooring, we explain the extent and recommend next steps, but structural repairs fall outside plumbing scope and are handled separately.

Once the repair is complete, we test flow and check for leaks at the connection points before leaving. The work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and manufacturer warranties apply to any replacement taps or cartridges installed.

Water Filters

Sydney's tap water meets Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, but it still contains chlorine (added for disinfection), fluoride, and trace sediment from aging pipes. A water filtration system removes these compounds at the point of use, delivering cleaner-tasting water without the ongoing cost of bottled alternatives.

We install under-sink filters, benchtop units, and whole-house filtration systems, depending on your water quality goals and property layout. Installation involves connecting the filter to your cold water line, mounting the unit securely, and testing flow and pressure once installed. We also service and replace filter cartridges as part of routine maintenance, with replacement intervals depending on household water usage and the filter type.

In Coogee's coastal properties, salt-affected water from corroded copper pipes can carry a metallic taste. A filter won't fix corroded pipework, but it will remove particulates and improve taste while the underlying pipe issue is addressed separately. We explain what the filter will and won't resolve during the initial assessment, so you know exactly what to expect.

Backflow Prevention

Backflow happens when water reverses direction in your plumbing, allowing contaminated water from irrigation systems, fire sprinklers, or commercial equipment to enter the potable supply. Backflow prevention devices stop this reversal, protecting your household water from cross-contamination.

Sydney Water requires annual testing of backflow prevention devices on properties with irrigation systems, commercial kitchens, or fire services. We conduct onsite testing using calibrated gauges to confirm the device is holding pressure and preventing reverse flow, then issue a compliance certificate if the device passes. If the device fails, we explain the fault (usually a worn valve seat or damaged check valve), provide a quote for repair or replacement, and re-test once the work is complete.

In Coogee's high-density strata blocks, backflow devices are often installed on common property to protect the building's water supply. We coordinate with strata managers to schedule testing during low-usage windows, minimise disruption, and provide documentation suitable for council and insurance records.

Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing emergencies, ruptured pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, or a hot water service flooding the laundry, require immediate professional attention to prevent property damage and safety risks. We're available 24/7 for emergency service calls across Coogee, dispatching the nearest available licensed plumbing professional from our Eastern Suburbs hubs as soon as you call.

When you contact us with an emergency, we ask a few quick questions to confirm the urgency and advise on immediate safety steps where needed—such as isolating the water supply at the meter or turning off gas at the bottle. We don't coach diagnosis or DIY repairs; the priority is getting a licensed, insured plumber onsite to make the situation safe, stop the damage, and confirm what's required to restore function.

Once onsite, we assess the fault, explain what's happened and what needs to happen next, then provide a fixed quote before starting the repair. Emergency work is priced transparently, with after-hours rates applying outside standard business hours. The job is completed to Australian plumbing standards, tested to confirm it's safe and functional, and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty. We clean up the work area and remove debris before leaving, so you're not left dealing with the mess on top of the emergency.

Hot Water Systems

When a hot water service fails in Coogee, it's usually one of three things: a worn sacrificial anode allowing the tank to corrode internally, sediment buildup insulating the heating element or gas burner, or a faulty thermostat preventing the system from reaching temperature. Low water pressure at hot taps can also indicate a blocked tempering valve or scale buildup in the outlet pipework.

We diagnose the fault onsite, checking the tank condition, testing the pressure relief valve, inspecting the anode (on storage systems), and confirming gas supply and ignition (on continuous flow units). If the system is repairable, we provide a quote for the parts and labour required. If the tank has corroded through or the unit is beyond economical repair, we explain your replacement options, electric storage, continuous flow gas, or heat pump, and provide same-day installation where stock and access allow.

All installations include a new tempering valve (required by AS/NZS 3500 to limit outlet temperature to 50°C), a pressure relief valve, and secure mounting to prevent movement or noise. Gas installations are pressure-tested and issued with a compliance certificate. We test flow and temperature at multiple taps before leaving, and the installation is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, with manufacturer warranties covering the tank and components.

Overflowing Sewers and Stormwater Drains

Sewer and stormwater blockages in Coogee often result from tree root intrusion (particularly from established figs and pines near Grant Reserve and along Coogee Bay Road), fat and grease buildup in kitchen lines, or collapsed terracotta pipes in pre-1960 properties. When a drain backs up or overflows, the initial step is locating the blockage and confirming whether it's within your property boundary or in the council main.

We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to inspect the line, identify the obstruction type and depth, and check for structural damage like cracks or root penetration. Once the cause is confirmed, we clear the blockage using high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting), which scours the pipe walls and removes roots, grease, and debris. If the camera shows structural damage, we explain the options, spot repair, sectional replacement, or trenchless relining, and provide a fixed quote for the additional work.

Stormwater drains are a separate system, but they often share similar blockage causes (leaves, silt, root intrusion). We clear stormwater lines using the same jetting and camera process, confirm flow is restored, and check for damage that could cause future blockages. All clearing work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and we provide camera footage on request to document the condition before and after clearing.

Burst Pipe Repairs

A broken pipe in Coogee typically results from corrosion in older galvanised steel or copper lines, high water pressure stressing joints, ground movement affecting rigid pipework, or tree roots crushing underground pipes. Coastal properties also face accelerated corrosion from salt exposure, particularly on external pipework and balcony drainage in beachfront units.

When a pipe bursts, the priority is isolating the water supply to stop flooding and prevent further damage. We locate the burst section using visual inspection or electronic leak detection (for hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs), confirm the extent of the damage, and explain whether the pipe can be repaired with a sectional replacement or requires a full re-pipe. The quote includes the repair method, materials (copper or PEX, depending on access and code requirements), and any wall or floor reinstatement needed to access the pipe.

Once the repair is complete, we pressure-test the line to confirm it's watertight, restore water supply, and check flow at all affected fixtures. The work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and we clean up the site before leaving. If the burst has caused water damage to flooring, walls, or ceilings, we document the extent for insurance purposes, but structural drying and repairs fall outside plumbing scope.

Gas Plumbing

Gas fitting in Coogee covers new gas connections, appliance installations (cooktops, ovens, heaters, hot water systems), gas leak detection and repair, and compliance testing for altered or extended gas lines. All gas work in NSW must be performed by a licensed gas fitter (we hold Licence 305428C) and comply with AS/NZS 5601.1, which governs installation, testing, and commissioning.

If you smell gas (a distinctive "rotten egg" odour from the added mercaptan), the immediate steps are: don't operate electrical switches or create sparks, open windows and doors to ventilate, turn off gas at the meter or bottle if safe to do so, then call us for an emergency assessment. We'll locate the leak using electronic gas detectors or soapy water testing, isolate the affected section, and repair or replace the faulty pipe, fitting, or appliance connection.

New gas installations, such as connecting a new cooktop or extending a line to an outdoor heater, require pressure testing the line to confirm it's gas-tight, then commissioning the appliance and issuing a compliance certificate. We explain what's involved during the initial assessment, provide a fixed quote before starting, and complete the work to AS/NZS 5601.1 standards. The installation is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, with manufacturer warranties applying to the appliance itself.

Pipe Relining

Pipe relining (also called trenchless pipe repair or "No Dig Repair") restores damaged underground pipes without excavating driveways, gardens, or internal floors. It's particularly useful in Coogee's heritage cottages, where digging up original sandstone paving or internal floors would be disruptive and costly, and in beachfront units where access is restricted by common property boundaries.

The process starts with a CCTV camera inspection to confirm the pipe is suitable for relining, it must have at least 60% of its original diameter intact and no complete collapses. If the pipe qualifies, we clean the line using high-pressure jetting, then insert a flexible resin-saturated liner through an access point (usually an existing inspection opening or cleanout). The liner is inflated to press against the pipe walls, then cured using hot water or UV light to harden into a seamless, structurally independent pipe-within-a-pipe.

Once cured, we inspect the relined section with the camera to confirm it's smooth and watertight, then restore flow and test the system. The relined pipe carries a manufacturer's warranty (typically 35, 50 years), and our installation work is backed by the Lifetime Labour Warranty. Relining avoids the cost and disruption of excavation, but it's not suitable for all situations, if the pipe has collapsed or the damage is too extensive, we'll explain the alternative (sectional excavation and replacement) and provide a quote for both options.

Plumbing FAQ's in Coogee

These questions reflect what Coogee residents and property managers ask most often about our services, pricing, and process. If your question isn't covered here, call us, we're available 24/7 and happy to explain what's involved for your specific situation.

Do you charge a call-out fee to Coogee?

Call-out fee arrangements vary by job type and location. For Coogee (2034), confirm the call-out fee status when you book, our team will explain whether a call-out applies and how it's handled if you proceed with the quoted work. Many service areas have no call-out fee, but it's worth confirming upfront so there are no surprises.

How quickly can you get to Coogee for an emergency?

We dispatch from localised hubs across Sydney, with Eastern Suburbs coverage allowing us to reach most Coogee properties within typical emergency response windows. Urgent jobs are prioritised and sent out first, with an ETA provided once the technician is allocated. Actual arrival time depends on current bookings, traffic conditions, and the job location within Coogee.

What causes blocked drains in older Coogee properties?

In Federation-era cottages and post-war homes, blocked drains usually trace back to tree root intrusion (from established figs and pines), collapsed or cracked terracotta pipes, or fat and grease buildup in kitchen lines. We use CCTV cameras to locate the blockage and confirm whether it's a clearing job or requires structural repair, then provide a fixed quote once scope is confirmed onsite.

Are your plumbers licensed and insured?

All attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW (we hold Licence 305428C covering plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting), and we carry current Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. Insurance protects you if accidental property damage occurs during work (Public Liability) or if a workplace injury happens onsite (Workers Compensation). Our team also undergoes police and background checks.

What's included in your fixed-price quote?

The fixed-price quote covers labour, materials, testing, and site cleanup for the scope confirmed during the onsite assessment. The quote is priced by the job, not by the hour, and is valid for one month. If inspection reveals additional work (such as structural pipe damage found during a blockage clearing), we explain the options and provide a separate quote before proceeding with any extra work.

Can you fix a leaking shower without removing tiles?

It depends on where the leak originates. If the leak is from a faulty tap spindle or showerhead connection, we can repair it without tile removal. If the leak is behind the tiles (from a cracked pipe or failed waterproofing membrane), access usually requires removing tiles to locate and fix the fault. We use leak detection to pinpoint the source, explain what's involved, and provide a fixed quote before starting.

How long does a hot water unit installation take?

A standard like-for-like replacement (same fuel type, similar capacity, accessible location) typically takes 2, 4 hours, including removal of the old unit, installation of the new system, connection of water and gas or power, and testing. If the installation requires new gas lines, upgraded electrical circuits, or relocated pipework, it takes longer, we confirm timing once we've assessed the site and existing setup.

What's the warranty on your plumbing work?

All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, which covers the quality and durability of the work we perform. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to parts, fixtures, and appliances we install (warranty duration varies by product and manufacturer). If a fault occurs that's covered by our workmanship warranty, we return to fix it at no additional charge for labour.

Do you handle strata plumbing in Coogee's apartment blocks?

We work in strata properties across Coogee, coordinating with building managers and owners corporations to schedule work, manage access, and provide documentation suitable for strata records. We can clarify responsibility boundaries (lot owner vs common property) where needed, and provide separate quotes for common property work that requires strata approval before proceeding.

What should I do if I smell gas in my Coogee property?

Don't operate electrical switches, light matches, or create sparks. Open windows and doors to ventilate, turn off gas at the meter or bottle if it's safe to reach, then leave the property and call us immediately for an emergency assessment. We'll locate the leak, isolate the affected section, and make the system safe before explaining what replacement or repair is needed.
