Emergency Repairs

We take calls for urgent plumbing issues across Darlinghurst. If something breaks suddenly—pipe bursts, water pouring out, or a tap won’t shut off—we’ll come straight out. We bring everything we need to get things under control. Once we stop the water, we check what caused it and fix what’s damaged. No delay. No drawn-out process. We finish the job and clean up properly before leaving.

Blocked Drain

Drains can block for all kinds of reasons grease, food scraps, hair, or tree roots outside. When water isn’t draining or it’s coming back up, it needs clearing fast. We use tools made for the job. Once the drain is cleared, we check to make sure there’s no underlying fault. If there’s damage to the pipe or repeated blockages, we’ll let you know before going any further.

Leaks Repairs

A leaking tap or pipe isn’t just annoying. It can cause water damage if left too long. We deal with visible leaks and also the ones hidden behind walls or under sinks. Once we locate the leak, we decide if the part needs resealing, tightening, or full replacement. We carry what we need, so most of the time, we sort it out on the spot.

Burst Pipe

A burst pipe is one of those jobs where time matters. The water needs to be turned off quickly, and the broken section replaced properly. We carry a mix of pipe sizes and joints so we don’t need to come back twice. After cutting out the damaged bit, we seal the new pipe and check the rest of the line to make sure it’s all secure before switching the water back on.

Flooding

If water’s spreading through the house bathroom overflow, blocked stormwater, or burst pipe—we’ll help control the damage. First we deal with the cause, then we clear any backed-up water if needed. After that, we check the area to see what’s been affected and talk you through what to do next. No guesswork, just clear steps forward.

Hot Water System

If you’ve got no hot water, low pressure, or the water keeps turning cold mid-use, it could be your system. We check everything—tank, valves, heating element, and pressure relief. Whether it’s gas, electric or solar, we know how it’s wired and where to look. Once we find the fault, we either repair the part or advise if the system’s nearing the end.

Hot Water Installation

We install new hot water systems for homes across Darlinghurst. If your old unit has stopped working or isn’t keeping up with demand, we’ll help you pick a new one. We remove the old system, check all the lines, and install the new unit properly. That includes securing it, connecting gas or power safely, and checking the temperature and pressure are within range.

Hot Water Repairs

Not every hot water issue means full replacement. We check whether it’s a fault in the thermostat, element, valve or pipework. If it’s something we can fix, we do. We don’t upsell systems you don’t need. If your unit still has life in it, we’ll make it work properly again.

Solar Systems

We work on solar hot water systems, both old and new. If yours isn’t heating up properly or you’ve lost pressure, we’ll check the panels, tank, valves and pumps. We flush the system if it’s full of scale or dirt. We also clean the panels and test the backup element if there’s one installed. We keep things working and tell you if anything’s wearing out.

Plumbing Maintenance

Good plumbing lasts longer when it’s checked now and then. We carry out general maintenance for homes, shops, and rental properties. That means checking taps, toilets, drains, pipe seals, and water pressure. We note anything that looks worn and replace it before it turns into a bigger issue. No hard sell. Just a straightforward service that helps avoid problems later.

Attend to All Maintenance Upgrades

When plumbing needs changing—new fittings, different layouts, appliance swaps—we manage the upgrades. This includes moving pipes, installing new tapware, adjusting lines for new sinks or dishwashers, and resealing joints that have worn out. We don’t rush through it. We work around your schedule and make sure it’s done right.

Replace Fixtures, Pipes, and Drains

Old parts wear out. Whether it’s a dripping tap, corroded pipe, or cracked drain, we replace what’s needed. We don’t replace for the sake of it. If it’s repairable, we repair it. If it needs to go, we fit a new one that’s suited to the job and compatible with your system. That includes taps, shower fittings, basin pipes, stormwater outlets and more.

Why Choose Us as Your Trusted Darlinghurst Plumbers

At Plumber Sydney, we’ve built our work around three things: doing the job properly, showing up when we say we will, and being honest about what needs fixing and what doesn’t. That’s the difference.

We don’t take shortcuts. If a job needs an extra ten minutes to get done the right way, we take the ten minutes. We treat your home as if it were our own. That means clean work, good materials, and making sure things are safe and sealed before leaving. It also means no last-minute cost surprises or upselling.

You deal directly with a licensed plumber—not someone reading from a script. We don’t talk in circles. We explain what the problem is, how we’ll fix it, and what you’re paying for.

People keep calling us back for a reason. Not just because we’ve fixed something once—but because they know we’ll keep showing up with the same standard of work, every time.

Emergency Plumber in Darlinghurst

Emergencies don’t come with warnings. It could be a burst pipe at 1am, or your toilet overflowing an hour before a family dinner. When that happens, you need someone to pick up the phone and come out—without turning it into a bigger problem.

That’s what we do.

Our emergency plumber service in Darlinghurst is available when you need it. No long waiting lines, no “we’ll send someone in the morning.” If we say we’re coming, we come. If we say we’ll bring what’s needed, we bring it. We turn up ready.

We’ve handled homes flooded from the ceiling down. We’ve handled late-night water shutoffs and urgent repairs without disrupting the household. The point is, we don’t wait for good timing—we get moving when it matters.

And we do it calmly, quietly, and professionally.

So if something’s gone wrong and you don’t have time to wait, ring us on 0430 868 444. We’ll get there.

Why Regular Plumbing Maintenance Matters

A lot of plumbing issues could be avoided with small checks now and then. Most of the major repairs we carry out—flooding from burst pipes, blocked sewer lines, failed hot water units—usually show signs long before they give out.

That’s where regular maintenance helps.

We check things like:

• Tap fittings and washers
• Pipe seals
• Toilet leaks
• Drain flow and slow build-ups
• Water pressure levels
• Hot water tank condition
• Flexi hoses behind washing machines and sinks

These checks take little time but go a long way. A washer replaced early stops a leak that could rot the floor. A hose replaced on time prevents an overnight burst. A drain cleared once a year avoids a full backup.

Maintenance also keeps your water bill down and your system running the way it should. It’s not just for older homes either. Even brand-new houses can have loose fittings or poor pressure that goes unnoticed until it becomes a hassle.

We don’t push for work that isn’t needed. If it’s in good shape, we leave it. If something looks worn, we’ll tell you and let you decide.

Advanced Plumbing Solutions for Modern Homes

Homes aren’t built the way they used to be—and plumbing has had to change with it. At Plumber Sydney, we keep up with what modern homes need. That includes better water-saving systems, more compact plumbing layouts, and smarter ways to fix things without tearing everything up.

We work with newer installations like:

• Mixer taps and sensor taps
• Concealed in-wall cisterns
• Compact hot water units
• Greywater systems
• Rainwater tank connections
• Water-saving showerheads and outlets
• Under-sink filter systems
• Flexible hose tapware
• Low-flush dual toilets

We also use better tools to find faults without guessing. This includes thermal leak detection, drain cameras, and pressure testing gear. These let us find the source of a problem faster—so we don’t waste your time pulling things apart just to “have a look.”

Even with new designs and systems, the basics still matter. Pipes still need sealing. Drains still need cleaning. Connections still need to hold tight. We keep things simple while using tools that make the job more precise.

And if you’re planning a renovation or building a new section, we can work with your layout to make sure plumbing fits cleanly and leaves room for future maintenance.
