Written by us, about the streets we work
Brighton and the bayside suburbs around it are established, well-to-do areas where a lot of older homes are being knocked down and rebuilt. We work across Brighton, Bentleigh, Hampton and Moorabbin, and we see both sides of that: the old plumbing and the new.
Over the last two years we've done nearly 200 jobs around Brighton. Blocked drains are comfortably the most common, with leak detection and taps behind. The combination of mature trees, sandy bayside soils and aging sewer lines makes drains a real feature of the area.
Tree roots are a big part of why. In about a quarter of the blocked drains we clear around Brighton, roots have got into the pipe, which is on the high side and fits an area with big established gardens. We check whether roots are the cause rather than just clearing the blockage, so you're not calling us back about the same drain.
Whatever the job, from a blocked drain to a hidden leak or a hot water system, we fix the cause, not just the symptom. That's been the Fix-It Right way since Richie started the business in 2007.

Real customers from around Brighton, in their own words
Job done right on time. All options explained. Well done, thanks.
Ben did a great job performing a number of plumbing tasks around the home. Highly recommend
Jack was fantastic and did a great job. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing their plumbing fixed
Mick did a great job fixing a burst pipe in our front lawn. After lodging an online form over the weekend, Mick was at our house in less than 24 hours. Mick was very transparent and upfront with costs prior to completing any work, as well as taking the time to explain to us what had happened. Thanks again for a great job!
Josh came out to unblock my drain which was not very straight forward at all! He kept me informed of what was happening, made sure I I knew the price before doing anything and was so friendly! 5 star service!
Great service rendered from the first phone call. Jack arrived and was thorough in resolving my pipe blockage issue. He was also clear with the quote and even assisted me with a quick non-plumbing issue he had no need to help with. Will be using their service again.
Over the last couple of weeks we got them to fix in our cafe two sensor taps, a leaky pipe, and a broken tap. Their service was great. Mitch carried out the work and it was excellent. Highly recommended.
Josh from Fix it Right was very helpful and professional in replacing my hot water system. He explained everything clearly and gave me a competitive quote. He was not pushy and didn't waste anytime getting the job done. Thanks Josh
I’ve used them twice and their staff are friendly, transparent and thorough. Daniel in November 2021 and then Jack in August 2022 both completed big jobs for Kevin Brighton East and were prepared to explain all the work they were doing. Highly recommend.
No messing around, Brendan knew exactly what I needed and had everything to do the job on-hand, installation was lightning quick and hassle free, would highly recommend them and will be using their services again.
Fantastic service. Dave helped us with a difficult installation, and we couldn't be happier. Quick service and a great price with no-compromise on quality. Top notch.
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

Straight answers, no runaround
It's largely tree roots. About a quarter of the blocked drains we clear in Brighton, Bentleigh and Hampton have roots in the pipe, helped along by big mature gardens, sandy soils and older sewer lines. We check whether roots are the cause and sort that, rather than just clearing the blockage and seeing you again.
South East Water covers Brighton, Bentleigh, Hampton and Moorabbin. 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.
Yes, that's common around here. Plenty of older Brighton and Hampton homes are being rebuilt, and we can handle the plumbing side from the ground up, as well as sorting problems with existing pipework before you commit to a build.
The bayside is a regular patch for us, so Brighton, Bentleigh, Hampton and Moorabbin are well covered, along with Elsternwick, Bentleigh East, Ormond, Hampton East and Brighton East.
Plenty. Drains are the most common single job, but most of our work is the everyday stuff: leak detection, taps, toilets, hot water, 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.
