A burst pipe requires immediate action - turn off your water at the meter and call us on +61 422 899 490. We respond 24/7 across Port Melbourne and carry the fittings, pipe, and tools needed for emergency repairs. After fixing the burst, we inspect for additional damage and test the repaired section to ensure it's watertight.
A dripping tap might seem minor, but a single leaking tap can waste over 20,000 litres of water per year - that's hundreds of dollars added to your water bill. In Port Melbourne, we see everything from worn washers in older taps to failed cartridges in modern mixer taps, and we carry parts for most common brands on our vehicles for same-day repairs.
Dripping taps are usually caused by worn washers, O-rings, or ceramic disc cartridges. In older Port Melbourne homes with traditional tapware, replacing a washer is straightforward and affordable. Modern quarter-turn and mixer taps use ceramic cartridges that can crack or wear over time - we carry replacements for Caroma, Dorf, Grohe, and other popular brands.
Leaking pipes can occur at joints, under sinks, behind walls, or beneath floors. Visible signs include damp patches, mould growth, bubbling paint, and unexplained increases in your water bill. We use leak detection equipment including acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging to locate hidden leaks without unnecessary demolition.
Burst pipes require immediate attention to prevent water damage to floors, walls, and belongings. If a pipe bursts, turn off your water at the meter (usually located at the front boundary of your property) and call us for emergency burst pipe repair in Port Melbourne. We respond 24/7 and carry the fittings and pipe needed for most emergency repairs.
If your taps are beyond repair or you're renovating, we install WELS-rated tapware (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) that reduces water consumption without sacrificing pressure. A 4-star WELS-rated kitchen mixer can save a typical Port Melbourne household up to 40% on kitchen water usage compared to an older, unrated tap. We supply and install tapware from leading brands including Caroma, Phoenix, Dorf, and Methven.
Low water pressure in Port Melbourne can be caused by corroded galvanised pipes (common in homes built before the 1980s), partially closed isolation valves, water authority supply issues, or leaks in concealed pipework. We diagnose the cause using pressure testing equipment and recommend the most cost-effective solution - whether that's replacing a section of pipe, adjusting a pressure limiting valve, or installing a pressure pump for properties at the end of long supply runs.

A dripping tap in Port Melbourne can waste more than 20,000 litres a year. It is a small job that pays for itself, and one we can usually fit in the same day you call.
Housing here means a mix of period homes, apartments and newer estates, often with limited street access for trucks, so we still find galvanised and early copper pipework behind walls. Those are the pipes that let go without warning.
For hidden leaks we use acoustic and thermal detection to find the water before opening anything up. Less damage, less making good, lower total cost.
Burst pipes are attended 24/7. First job is isolating the water and stopping the damage, then a permanent repair rather than a patch that fails next winter.
If your water bill has jumped without a change in usage, that is usually a leaking toilet or an underground line. We test both and give you a written result you can take to your retailer.
We are through Albert Park, Ascot Vale, Avondale Heights constantly, so small jobs in Port Melbourne do not sit waiting for weeks. Call +61 422 899 490 to get it booked.

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.
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.
Jack was punctual, polite, well mannered and very professional. He gave me options on how to resolve my leaky garden tap and explained everything in detail including pricing.
Joel was able to quickly resolve my issue. Quick, professional, and easy to work with.
Had Jack out to fix a leaking tap and he was fabulous. Trickier job than expected, he figured it out and got it done. Introduced himself and removed his boots before coming inside. Top service.
