Your Local Plumbing & Gas Experts in Port Melbourne
Port Melbourne is one of Melbourne's most iconic bayside suburbs - heritage workers' cottages, Edwardian terraces, warehouse conversions and modern waterfront apartments all within walking distance of the beach. When you need a plumber in Port Melbourne, you want someone who handles heritage plumbing and high-rise apartment systems with equal expertise.
From the heritage cottages along Bay Street to the waterfront apartments at Beacon Cove and the high-rises near Station Pier, we service all of Port Melbourne with expertise in coastal corrosion, heritage plumbing and multi-story building systems. The salt air here accelerates wear on hot water units, outdoor fixtures and copper fittings - it needs specialist attention.
For blocked drains in Port Melbourne, we start with CCTV camera inspection. The suburb's heritage cottages often have original clay drains with lead joints that crack and allow root intrusion, while newer apartment buildings can have shared drainage complexities. We clear blockages with high-pressure hydro-jetting and provide proof footage.
We also handle gas fitting across Port Melbourne - cooktop installations, heater connections, gas leak detection and compliance certificates. From commercial kitchens along Bay Street to residential properties near Garden City Reserve, our licensed gas fitters cover every job with same-day availability.

Verified on GoogleJoel and his team were prompt, provided clear information and recommendations along the way and finished my drainage upgrade within 2 days. Friendly team, completely stress-free.
Amazing service pretty much sums it up. Friday afternoon I discovered a possible water leak under my concrete. Called Hobsons Bay Plumbing and barely an hour later Jack, Daniel and a third plumber were on site.
Had my hot water system removed and replaced. Joel was prompt, friendly and professional. The two guys who attended the job were great - super lovely, respectful and did a great job. Would recommend.
Jack was awesome - helpful, explained everything he did and why. Clean, thorough, perfect results. Extremely happy as he really got us out of trouble with our shower.
Used Hobsons Bay Plumbing to fix a leaking outdoor tap and tight shower taps. Jack came back to install a pressure reduction valve he had flagged on the first visit. Loving the better showers.
Joel attended promptly to an out-of-hours urgent callout for a blocked sewer. Very professional and courteous, quickly located and cleared the blockage. Highly recommend Hobsons Bay Plumbing.
Hot Water Specialists for Port Melbourne Homes & Apartments
Whether it's a corroding outdoor unit at a heritage cottage or a centralised system in a Beacon Cove apartment, we diagnose fast and fix or replace on the spot. Coastal environments are tough on hot water systems - we recommend and install corrosion-resistant units built to last by the bay.
We handle every type of hot water system:
- Electric hot water - compact replacements for tight cottage laundries and apartment cupboards.
- Gas continuous flow - space-saving Rinnai and Bosch units ideal for terraces and cottages.
- Heat pump systems - energy-efficient upgrades eligible for Victorian government rebates.
- Apartment hot water - individual unit systems and centralised plant troubleshooting.
Same-day hot water repairs available. No hot water tonight? Call us - we carry common parts on every van and can often restore hot water within hours.
Port Melbourne's heritage cottages often have original clay and earthenware drains with lead joints that deteriorate over time. Combined with mature street trees and the suburb's proximity to sea level - which can affect drainage gradients, blocked drains are a common problem across the suburb.
We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to inspect your pipes before we start any work. You'll see exactly what's causing the problem - root intrusion, cracked joints, shared-line debris or sediment build-up. From there, we clear blockages with high-pressure hydro-jetting and can reline damaged sections without excavation.
Our Port Melbourne Drain Clearing Process:
- 1. CCTV camera inspection to locate the blockage and assess pipe condition
- 2. High-pressure hydro-jetting to clear roots, grease, debris and sediment
- 3. Post-clean camera check to confirm the drain is 100% clear
- 4. Written report with footage - ideal for strata, heritage compliance and insurance
Fixed pricing on all drain work. You'll know the cost before we start.

"Our apartment at Beacon Cove had water pressure issues that two other plumbers couldn't solve. Joel diagnosed the problem quickly, coordinated with our building manager and had it fixed the same day. Great communication and strata-ready documentation."
