Fix-It Right Plumbing

Your plumbing's already ruined your day. Let's not make it worse.

We'll get the Right plumber, with real reviews, to fix it for good.

  • $0 call-out
  • Three repair options on every job
  • 10-year workmanship guarantee

Your bad day stops here.

That's me, Richie

Richie Foster, founder of Fix-It Right Plumbing

What the Right plumber looks like

The first number you find isn't always a real plumber. Here's the difference.

  • Not: No name, no uniform, no van

    A real plumber, name on the shirt, in a signwritten van

  • Not: The price changes halfway

    Written prices before we touch a thing

  • Not: Reviews you can't check

    Real reviews from real customers, by name

  • Not: Fixed for now. Back next month.

    Fixed for good, with a 10-year warranty

Real prices, in writing, before we touch a thing

What every job comes with

  • $0 call-out. We come out and look things over. If you don't go ahead, you don't pay.

  • Three repair options. The first gets you out of trouble, the last takes care of everything the whole-home check found, and there's one in between. All of them are proper fixes.

  • Fixed For Good. Done properly the first time, triple tested before we leave, and backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Every job

Fix-It Now - Pay Later

12 months, no interest, nothing to pay

Get it fixed today, on any job, and make your first payment in a year. It's there because a burst pipe doesn't wait for payday, and neither should the repair.

*Eligible jobs. Terms, conditions and credit approval apply.

We specialise in homes

Fix-It Right is a residential plumbing business, and that's on purpose. We're not trying to be everything to everyone. Homes are what we do all day, every day, from heritage terraces to brand-new builds, so we know the pipework, the common faults and the quirks of houses in your area. Doing one thing properly is how the job gets done right the first time.

Homes. Only homes. Every single day.

The same plumber, start to finish

The plumber who comes out and works out what's wrong is the one who fixes it, and they stay with your job from start to finish until it's done properly, top to bottom. We don't send one person to look and another to do the work, and we never pull your plumber off your job to chase the next call. Not many plumbing companies anywhere are that strict about it, and it's why the job gets done right the first time.

Same face from the first knock to the final test

Work checked the first time. Prepared people do work they're proud of, get home on time and stay, and that's what a 10-year guarantee is actually made of: someone still standing behind it in year seven.

The person behind the name

“If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right.”

Dad's rule. Still the rule on every job.

Richie learned that from his dad in a shed in Langwarrin, spent four years welding food-grade stainless where a weld is either right or it isn't, and started the business in 2007 with an ad in the local paper and a ute he set up himself. In 2015 he renamed it after his dad's rule: Fix-It Right. Every plumber on the team still trains with him weekly.
