Jarryd was absolutely amazing, kept us informed about what he was doing along the way and was upfront about the cost involved. Replaced our old broken toilet with a new one and also serviced our hot water unit. Highly recommend! Thank you
Jarryd was a star helping fix our toilet before the weekend began. It eases my mind to know there’s a professional who we can call when there’s an emergency.
Brady did a fantastic job, was extremely friendly and went the extra mile working around our toddler. Would highly recommend this guy!
Had Ryan come and fix our leaking laundry trough. Was on time, explained everything and fixed quickly.

I have had an excellent experience with this service. Jarryd was able to come out on short notice to install a new isolation valve to connect my new fridge to a water supply. He was professional, tidy and explained everything clearly. He also went the extra mile to ensure the fridge was in place after completing the job and tested to ensure it was free from leaks. Great service, transparent pricing and would highly recommend. Thank you! - Nicolette.

Written by us, about the streets we work
Fix-It Right works right across Geelong and the Bellarine, and we've done more than 2,000 jobs around the region in the last two years. Nearly a thousand of those are around Belmont, Highton and the growth suburbs, and close to five hundred around Lara and the northern suburbs, so this is a region we're in every day.
Central Geelong is a city of its own: the waterfront and CBD, the grand period homes of Newtown and Geelong West, and the established and post-war suburbs north towards Corio and Norlane. The housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian homes with old sewers through to newer places in the growth suburbs, so we see the full range.
The call we get most across Geelong is blocked drains, more than a quarter of the work, and that fits the ground here. The clay soils through this part of Victoria move with the seasons and are hard on older pipework, and the mature trees in the established streets send roots into the old sewer lines. More than a third of the blocked drains we clear around Geelong involve tree roots, so when a drain blocks we camera the line and find the real cause rather than just clearing it.
The rest is the everyday plumbing of a big region: taps, toilets, hot water and leak detection, in family homes from the city out to the coast. Whatever it is, we carry what's needed to fix it on the spot wherever we can.
Out on the Bellarine and the Surf Coast, from Leopold and Ocean Grove to Torquay and the towns along the Great Ocean Road, it's a mix of permanent homes and holiday houses with a few hundred jobs between them, and coastal conditions that are harder on plumbing over time. We cover all of it, and each of those areas has its own page below.
Whatever the job and wherever you are in Geelong, we find the actual cause rather than patching the symptom, and we back it with our 10-year workmanship guarantee. That's been the Fix-It Right way from the start.

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
Every one of them trained on The Fix-It Right Service Call™, and I'd have any of them in my own home.

View Jared’s profileJared quoted me a reasonable price on fixing a squashed and broken stormwater pipe under my driveway. I saw with my own eyes the state of it through the pipe exploration camera. He warned me up front that the state of pipe upstream was unknown as we couldn't see that far with the camera. Jared did not manipulate or pressure me into going ahead with this high cost work (it was going to be costly whoever did the work). He simply gave me the facts calmly and left it up to me to make a decision in my own time. I asked the order of cost involved if the squashed pipe extended all the way to the downpipes. He gave me a very rough indication which helped me brace myself and fed into my decision about what to do and when. Communication was excellent with the whole team with Tamara patiently rescheduling until I could get the work done, and the e-mails with the photos and details of the plumbers I could expect to see at my home on the day gave me a sense of safety that whoever was showing up at my door was who I was expecting. When the work was being done, we discovered that more of the pipe upstream was squashed. I give Jared high praise for his matter-of-fact approach in showing me the state of what was found, then calmly explained what I was seeing, what could be done, and then was quiet. This gave me emotional and mental space to react to and process the bad news and quickly decide next steps (which I could do because I was already informed up front before any work began). I decided to get it all fixed. This changed the scope of work significantly, but, Jared and the team swung into action to quickly organise an additional plumber and bring in more equipment to get the job done. It took two days instead of one because of the scope increasing, and I was relieved it was done in two days in a row and not having to wait for weeks between one day and the next before the entire job was completed. To prevent squashing, they laid the pipes in a nest of supporting gravel. I'm grateful to the Fix-it-Right team for helping me with this plumbing problem so professionally and with integrity; it was expensive, but there were several areas in which Fix-it-Right were able to provide me with a discount or otherwise bring down the price for me - and the cost was around the ball-park Jared roughly guesstimated up-front (I had asked for an indication, not a fixed price quote, because it wasn't possible at the time because the situation was unknown). I did not feel at any point that I was getting held over a financial barrel - which they could have done, but they did not. I appreciate that more than I can say. I have no hesitation in recommending Jared and the Fix-it-Right Plumbing team - they are genuinely helpful and are not out to extract maximum profit from their customers - I felt genuinely helped in this unfortunate situation (never get a house without having a plumber look into ALL the pipes with a camera folks, because Building Inspectors don't). Even if Fix-it-Right were to charge a bit more than some other plumber, I will still go with them for the peace of mind and ease of working with them. Now I can enjoy hearing the rain fall without worrying about it slowly eroding the ground under the house foundations - because it won't be because the plumbing has been Fixed Right.
Jared comes with many years of plumbing experience in residential and commercial plumbing systems, and is committed to delivering high quality service to every job he undertakes. In his spare time he loves the gym, playing footy, and coaching women's cricket.

Fixed once costs less than fixed twice
Most plumbing gets fixed twice. Once when it breaks, and again when the quick fix gives out. The first visit is rarely the expensive part. The expensive part is the second bill, the day off work, and the water that got into the floor while nobody was looking.
I learned that in 2008 on a toilet in Seaford. The customer's previous plumber had been out every three months for a year, adding a washer each time and charging a small fee. Four visits for the same leak. It wasn't the washer. It was a thirty-year-old valve being hammered by pressure that was too high. We replaced the valve, regulated the pressure, and it was fixed. Not for three months. For good.
That's the job we want to do at your place. Once. Then you forget our name, which honestly is the best review a plumber can get.

Dad's rule. Still the rule on every job.
Richie learned that from his dad in a shed in Langwarrin, spent four years welding food-grade stainless where a weld is either right or it isn't, and started the business in 2007 with an ad in the local paper and a ute he set up himself. In 2015 he renamed it after his dad's rule: Fix-It Right. Every plumber on the team still trains with him weekly.

Yes. We work right across central Geelong, Newtown, Geelong West, East Geelong, Newcomb and the northern suburbs like Corio and Norlane, as well as the Bellarine and the Surf Coast.
It's the clay soils and the mature trees. The reactive clay through the region moves with the seasons and is hard on older pipework, and roots from established trees find their way into the old sewer lines. More than a third of the blocked drains we clear around Geelong involve tree roots, so we camera the line and find the cause rather than just clearing it.
Yes, plenty. Newtown, Geelong West and the older streets have Victorian and Edwardian homes with old sewers and galvanised pipes. We know what to look for and sort the cause, not just the symptom.
Barwon Water covers Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast. 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.
Yes. We cover the Bellarine towns like Leopold, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Portarlington, and the Surf Coast from Torquay down to Anglesea and Lorne. Each of those areas has its own page with the local detail.
Yes. We carry the common hot water systems on the vans, so if yours can't be repaired we can often have a new one in and running the same day.
