Written by us, about the streets we work
Brunswick and the suburbs around it are a real mix, old workers' cottages and period homes sitting next to new apartments and renovations. We work right across Brunswick, Coburg and Pascoe Vale, and that mix means we see a bit of everything.
Over the last two years we've done more than 120 jobs around Brunswick. Blocked drains are the most common, followed by leak detection and hot water, which lines up with an area where a lot of the housing is old enough to have aging pipes but plenty is being renovated too.
Blocked drains here are less often a tree-root problem than in the leafier suburbs, roots are behind about one in eight. More often it's the age of the pipes themselves or what's gone down them. Either way, we find out what's actually causing a blockage rather than just clearing 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.

What actually goes wrong in Brunswick homes
Not every leak is a plumbing leak, and knowing the difference saves you paying for work you don't need. In Pascoe Vale, water was pooling outside a shower. Lachie's testing proved the pipes were sound and the water was escaping through missing grout and worn seals, so that's what got fixed.
More on how we find hidden leaks: from a dripping ceiling to a pipe under the slab.
Real customers from around Brunswick, in their own words
Tristan was polite, efficient and remained good humoured, even after hours of digging through sticky clay by hand. Communication with the office was always clear and friendly. Thank you Tristan and Fix-It!
I had a hole in my bathtub that a few plumbers came to look at and told me I would need to pull out the whole bathroom to access the issue, but Harry from fix-it right plumbing came in and was able to repair the hole without any hassle! They did a fantastic job and can highly recommend them!
Anthony came and fixed the hot water in one of our showers. He’s was polite, quick and fixed the issue. He also helped address any other enquires I had about the water system in the house. I would definitely call him again if another issue should arise.

Had a great experience with Joseph and Sid. Joseph was friendly, engaging and always able to explain each step of the process to find the leak and fix it. We were very happy with their assistance and if you have a leak, I highly recommend Joseph and Sid from Fix-It Right Plumbing.
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.

Straight answers, no runaround
Less often from tree roots than you'd think, roots are behind only about one in eight blocked drains here. In an area like Brunswick with a lot of older cottages, it's more often the age of the pipes or what's been washed down them. We find out what's actually causing the blockage so we fix the right thing, not just clear it and hope.
Yes, that's a big part of our Brunswick work. A lot of the homes here are Victorian or from the early 1900s and the original plumbing often needs updating as part of a reno. We can check what you've got, find any hidden problems with leak detection, and sort the plumbing properly rather than patching over old pipework.
The inner north is an area we're in regularly, so Brunswick, Coburg and Pascoe Vale are well covered, along with Brunswick East, Carlton North, Brunswick West, Coburg North and Fawkner.
Usually yes. Hot water is one of our more common Brunswick jobs, so we carry the common systems on the vans. If yours can't be repaired we can often have a new one in and running the same day rather than leaving you without.
Plenty. Blocked drains are the most common single job, but most of our work is the everyday stuff: hot water, taps, toilets, leak detection, burst pipes and gas. Whatever the job, we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Real prices, in writing, before we touch a thing
$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.
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.
