Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Blairgowrie

The southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, from Rosebud through Rye and out to Sorrento and Blairgowrie, is some of Victoria's most popular coast, a mix of permanent homes, holiday houses and beach shacks turned into something grander. We work right across it.

Over the last two years we've done more than 110 jobs around Rosebud. It's a steady spread of blocked drains, hot water, taps and toilets. The coastal setting shapes a lot of it: salt air and sandy soils are harder on plumbing over time, and there's a real mix of old beach houses and newer builds.

Holiday homes are a big feature down here, and a place that sits empty for stretches can develop problems that go unnoticed until someone's back for summer. When something does come up we find the actual cause rather than just patching it.

Whatever the job, from a blocked drain to a hot water system or a hidden leak, we fix the cause, not just the symptom. That's been the Fix-It Right way since Richie started the business in 2007.

The same plumber, start to finish

The plumber who comes out and works out what's wrong is the one who fixes it, and he stays 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.

Rosebud plumbing questions

Do you look after holiday homes down the Peninsula?

Yes, plenty of them. Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Blairgowrie have a lot of holiday houses that sit empty between visits, and small problems can go unnoticed until someone's back. We can check a place over, sort anything that's come up, and help keep an eye on the plumbing between stays.

Does the coastal location affect my plumbing?

It does. Salt air and sandy soils are harder on pipework and fittings over time than inland conditions, so it's worth staying on top of small issues before they grow. We know the coast and sort things to suit.

Who's my water authority in Rosebud?

South East Water covers Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Blairgowrie. If the issue is at the meter or the sewer connection at the street, that's their responsibility, and we'll help you work out what's yours and what's theirs before any work starts.

The southern Peninsula is part of our service area, so Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Blairgowrie are covered, along with Portsea, St Andrews Beach and Capel Sound.
