Hi Thanks so much for the review! Glad I could get it sorted for you. Might see you on the padel court some day! Thanks Josh

Great Service I was extremely impressed by the service provided by Fix It Right Plumbing and Josh the plumber. They kept me informed about the arrival time, provided a quote before commencing any work, then resolved the issue in a timely manner. Thank you

We recently experienced the unfortunate problem of two major blockages in our underground plumbing system. We called Fix It Right Plumbing, as they had previously serviced our property and were familiar with our plumbing history. On both occasions, Josh attended, and he was outstanding. Josh is an experienced plumber who approaches every challenge with confidence and professionalism. From the initial phone call that morning to let us know he was on his way, he kept us informed throughout the entire process and explained all the work being carried out. While the repairs were expensive, the quality of Josh's workmanship and his forward-thinking approach made it worthwhile. He identified ways to make future maintenance easier and installed additional access points to the plumbing system. Originally, we only had two difficult-to-access inspection points; we now have five, which will make any future plumbing work much more straightforward. Once the job was completed, Josh cleaned everything up thoroughly. You would never have known the extent of the work or the mess that had been there beforehand. I would highly recommend Josh and the team at Fix It Right Plumbing for their professionalism, communication, expertise, and quality workmanship.

After getting in contact with the office they organise someone to come and see the issue at my house pretty much the next day. There are two blokes that were on shift. Josh and Charles were fantastic. They found the issue immediately, Provided three separate quotes and got straight to it. Josh and Charles were polite and did a really good job. Definitely going to use them again.

Josh did a great job fixing our hot water today. Perfectly polite and did a good job. Not a fan of the company's AI that responded to my messages without ever mentioning that it was an AI, but the work itself was great.

Hi Paul, thanks so much for the review, glad we could help you with your toilets, shower and sink mixer. Enjoy your retirement and the bootlegs of David Bowie! Josh and Charles

Paul PickeringCanberra

Definitely recommend Fix It Right Plumbing Canberra. Called them for advice on a "weird" smell in our business. We werent sure if it was plumbing related, something dead in the roof cavity or heating system. Josh made it a priority and was there within 2 hours. Found the source of the smell and made sure it was rectified properly. Lucky some plumbers know what they are doing! Thanks Fix It Right Plumbing Canberra. No more sewerage smell in our classrooms.

Reply from Josh

Thanks so much for the lovely review, we really appreciate it! I’m glad we were able to get that horrible smell sorted out for you in the classrooms and get everything back to normal as quickly as possible. We were happy to help and really appreciate your kind words. Reach out if you need any assistance in the future, and thanks again for your feedback. Josh
