Fixed Right – First Time

How the plumbing in Skye is different

Being only a newer area (15-20 years old) the homes in Skye are starting to show signs of wear and tear. We constantly attend leaking toilets and hot water systems that are beginning to break down due to age. The water pressure in the area is high and therefore causes issues for anyone who is renovating and updating their fixtures with newer style mixer taps or toilets.

We always test the water pressure in every home in Skye and find that a pressure regulator is needed. Most of the drains in the area are holding up well if used correctly. We have installed several Cillit Backwash filters in the area too to help with water quality.

Why Sandhurst has plumbing issues

Sandhurst is only a new estate compared to the surrounding areas with houses being no more than 7-8 years old. However even with the relatively young age of the Sandhurst area we are still seeing issues within the estate.

Most of the homes in the Sandhurst estate have solar panels attached to their hot water systems. Most of these systems are good quality units however most of the panels are not frost tolerant. They were not required by law to be frost tolerant however when we get a cold autumn morning we constantly get issues with panel bursting due to frost. Its for this reason we recommend installing a frost valve on the panels before you have issues. The panels are very expensive and can be difficult to replace especially if they are located on the second story roof.

Water pressure is also an issue for the homes in Sandhurst. We have replaced numerous toilet internals, fixed burst water pipes and replaced tap ware that prematurely failed due to exposure to high water pressure. Some homes do have pressure regulators fitted however most don’t causing major issues. If you live in Sandhurst we always recommend you have a pressure regulator installed.

"The Right Choice"

Welcome to Fix-It Right Plumbing

An Experience You Can't Get Anywhere else...

Most people don’t call a plumber because it’s a good day.

Something’s gone wrong, time matters, and suddenly you’re expected to make decisions about a system you don’t fully understand, often under pressure.

That’s where most plumbing experiences fall short.

At Fix It Right Plumbing, we believe the biggest problem isn’t just the plumbing issue itself, it’s being rushed into a solution that doesn’t quite fit. Too often, people are told what needs to be done, given a price, and left hoping it was the right call.

We do things differently.

From the moment we arrive, our focus is on listening first. We take the time to understand what’s actually happening, how your home is used, and what matters most to you, whether that’s cost, longevity, convenience, or peace of mind. We don’t make assumptions.

Once we understand the full picture, we personalise our recommendations. Instead of a one-size-fits-all fix, we walk you through tailored options, clearly explained, with upfront pricing, so you can see the pros and cons and decide what feels right for you.

There’s no pressure to choose the most expensive option.
There’s no being pushed toward a quick fix that won’t last.
Just honest guidance, clear choices, and the confidence that comes from understanding what you’re paying for and why.

Why This Approach Is Better For You…

This approach means less stress, fewer surprises, and a better experience for our customers. You’re not left second-guessing the decision or wondering if you were sold something you didn’t really need. You’re supported to make “The Right Choice” for your home, your budget, and your peace of mind.

Once you’ve selected what’s right for you, we get to work professionally, cleanly, and to a high standard, and we don’t leave until everything is tested, explained, and left spotless.

That’s why thousands of customers trust Fix It Right Plumbing.
Not just to fix a problem, but to guide them through it properly.

Because when you feel informed, listened to, and in control, you get an experience you simply cannot get anywhere else.
