Hot water repairs in Capalaba and Brisbane

Plumber working at a hot water cylinder

Hot water faults tend to come on suddenly. The shower runs cold halfway through, the unit drips or hisses, a valve keeps running water, or the tank is leaking from the base. Some of these are quick fixes and some are a sign the unit has reached the end of its life.

We check the unit, the valves and the connections first, and work out what has failed. A worn element, a faulty thermostat, a tired valve or a leaking fitting can often be repaired. If the tank itself is leaking, repair is rarely an option, and we will tell you so straight away rather than spend your money on a patch that will not hold.

If the unit is leaking, switch off the power to it and turn off the water at the isolation valve if you can. Then ring 0414 564 007 or send a photo of the unit and its label, and we will tell you what we think is going on.

Common questions

Is it worth repairing my hot water system?
Sometimes. A valve, thermostat or element can be repaired. A leaking tank cannot. We look at the age and condition of the unit and tell you which way we would go. If it is time for a new one, see hot water replacement.
My hot water unit is leaking. What should I do?
Switch off the power to the unit, turn off the water at the isolation valve if you can reach it, and call 0414 564 007. A photo of the leak and the unit label helps. If water is spreading, it counts as an emergency, so see the 24/7 emergency plumber page.
How much will a hot water repair cost?
It depends on the fault and the unit. We quote after hearing the details or seeing photos of the unit and its label, and explain the fault before we start any work. Send an enquiry with a photo, or call 0414 564 007.
