How We Get to Your Home Fast
Driving from Canberra
From our depot, we travel north along the Barton Highway past Exhibition Park (EPIC), connecting to Southern Cross Drive past Kippax Fair into Latham near Latham Shops and Umbagong District Park.
Average response time to Latham: 18 minutes during business hours
Poor Septic Maintenance?
The established trees in this suburb cause root intrusion in the septic tanks, leading to clogs and backups. Regular maintenance and inspections help prevent these.
Burst Water Tanks?
Older galvanised steel water tanks in pre-1990s homes corrode internally, bursting and leaking. We recommend checking the tanks regularly and replacing them if necessary for a permanent fix.
From Our Plumbers
"For hot water issues in Latham, we carry common replacement parts in our vans. About 70% of hot water problems we see are thermostat or element failures, which our plumbers can often fix same-day without needing a full system replacement."
— Fix It Right Plumbing Team, Canberra

Real Plumbing Stories from Latham
Professional Plumbing Work in Latham
Midweek during school holidays, a homeowner in Latham woke up to find a plumbing issue that started small but quickly became a bigger problem. The home had been in the family for years, and while they had kept up with general maintenance, the plumbing was one area that had been neglected.
“Had Fix It Right Plumbing come out to fix taps in both bathrooms and to increase water pressure in the spa bathtub. Fix It Right Plumbing were understanding when we had to change the initial appointment and worked around us to organise a new time. They also rang the day before the initial appointment just to confirm that was everything was still good to go. The appointment was for 0800, but he was running late, he rang 30min prior to the appointment to let me know which was great. Jack was friendly and very professional, as I am working from home he was quiet and got straight into the job. On completion there was no mess and work was done to a high standard. Due to COVID restrictions Jack adhered to the mask and 1.5m social distancing. Price: Affordable and warranty on taps.”
— Trent Meier ★★★★★
Our team responded quickly, with a licensed plumber arriving well within the estimated timeframe. They methodically diagnosed the problem, explained the repair process in plain language, and completed the work to the highest standard. Trent mentioned that the clear communication and tidy worksite made the experience far better than dealings with previous tradespeople.
Tackling Plumbing Issue at a Latham Residence
Early one Monday morning, a young family in Latham came home to find the need for a reliable plumber to handle multiple jobs in a single visit. Properties in Latham often have unique plumbing configurations due to the mix of building eras in the area, and this home was a typical example. The timing could not have been worse, but they needed someone who could respond quickly and get the job done right. A neighbour who had used Fix It Right before recommended us, so they called expecting good service and were not disappointed.
“Two new toilets installed, the old ones removed in good time and cost. The install sites were cleaned without me needing to request it. The plumber was polite and pleasure to have in my home, thank you Jason you've been a pleasure.”
— Ulrich Meffert ★★★★★
Our plumber assessed the situation carefully and recommended the most cost-effective solution. Rather than pushing for an expensive replacement, they carried out a targeted repair that restored full functionality. The work was backed by our satisfaction guarantee, giving the homeowner complete peace of mind. It was exactly the kind of honest, no-nonsense service that Fix It Right is known for. With the job done, they spent a few minutes tidying the work area and ensuring the property was left exactly as it was found. The customer appreciated this level of care and said it reinforced their decision to choose Fix It Right Plumbing.
Same-Day Plumbing for a Latham Customer
Late on a Tuesday evening, a retiree in Latham was alarmed to find a plumbing emergency that left them scrambling for a trustworthy tradesperson. The homeowner had only recently moved to Latham and was still learning about the property's systems when the issue presented itself.
“We had been having issues with our hot water unit for a long time. The water wasn't getting very hot and then all of a sudden the water could not get hot at all! So we decided to call Fix It Right Plumbing as we couldn't afford to leave it like that for more than 2 days. Even though it was during the first week or so of COVID19 lockdown, we were so happy that they were able to come down on the same day as we called! They came over, took a good look, asked some good questions, and then they gave us options and prices. As we've had our water unit for over 20 years, we decided to go for a new one. It was a bit expensive, but it was worth having it bought and installed in just one hour, and they took the old one away for us. The man who served us was very friendly and patient and he did a very good job :) I would definitely recommend these guys for quality service. Thank you so much, guys!”
— Valvadene ★★★★★
After receiving the call, we had a licensed plumber at the property in under an hour. They quickly identified the problem and had the right equipment on hand to resolve it on the spot. The repair was completed efficiently with minimal disruption, and the homeowner was delighted with the outcome. As always, we provided a detailed invoice with no hidden charges.
Trusted Plumbing in the Heart of Latham
On a cold winter night, a couple in Latham was dealing with a long-overdue plumbing inspection that uncovered several issues needing repair. With Latham experiencing significant development over the past decade, many older homes in the area face plumbing challenges as ageing infrastructure meets modern demand. Worried about potential water damage to the property, they called us straight away for an urgent inspection. Not wanting the issue to cause further damage, they picked up the phone and called Fix It Right Plumbing's 24/7 line.
“Arron came to fix our business' toilets. Very professional and friendly. Arrived when he said he would. Was upfront and honest about what was required to be done and what our options were. Great help and great service.”
— Wayne Cailes ★★★★★
Our plumber Arron brought his years of experience to bear on this job. After a hands-on inspection, he diagnosed the underlying cause and set about fixing it properly the first time. The work was completed on schedule, and he cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. Wayne has since recommended Fix It Right Plumbing to several neighbours. Before leaving, he walked the homeowner through what had been done and what to watch for going forward. The customer was given a detailed invoice with a clear breakdown of costs, exactly as quoted, and our contact details for any follow-up questions.
