Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Williamstown, Newport and Spotswood

Williamstown is one of Melbourne's most characterful bayside suburbs, a historic seaside town of Victorian and Edwardian cottages looking back across the water to the city, taking in Newport and Spotswood alongside it. We cover the whole area as part of our western service patch.

While we've only done a couple of dozen jobs in Williamstown itself so far, we do a lot of work in period-home suburbs built just like it, places like Footscray, Richmond and Brighton, with the same older cottages and aging sewer lines. That experience tells us what to expect here.

In homes of this age, the original drainage and pipework are the usual source of trouble, old sewer lines that tree roots find their way into, and plumbing that's simply been in the ground a long time. So in an older Williamstown cottage, a drain that keeps blocking is something we'd be checking for roots first, and we find the actual cause rather than just clearing it. Hot water is also a steady call across the bayside, and because we carry systems on the vans we can usually sort a failed one fast.

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, and it's how we'd look after your place in Williamstown.

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.

Williamstown plumbing questions

Do you cover Williamstown?

Yes. Williamstown, Newport and Spotswood are part of our western service area, along with Williamstown North and South Kingsville. We cover the full range of plumbing work here.

My Williamstown home is an old cottage, what should I watch for?

In Victorian and Edwardian homes the original sewer lines and pipework are usually where trouble starts, blockages, leaks and tree roots getting into the older joints. We use drain cameras and leak detection to see exactly what's happening before we start, so an old home is handled properly rather than guessed at.

You've only done a couple of dozen jobs in Williamstown so far, so how do you know the area?

We do a lot of work in period-home suburbs built just like it, places like Footscray, Richmond and Brighton. The older cottages and aging sewers tend to throw up the same issues, so the patterns carry across and we bring that experience to your job.

Who's my water authority in Williamstown?

Greater Western Water covers Williamstown, Newport and Spotswood. If the issue is at the meter or the street connection, that's their responsibility, and we'll help you work out what's yours and what's theirs before any work starts.

My hot water's gone in Williamstown, can you sort it quickly?

Usually yes. Hot water is one of the more common calls across the bayside, and we carry the common systems on the vans, so if yours can't be repaired we can often have a new one in and running the same day.

What every job comes with

  • $0 call-out. We come out and look things over. If you don't go ahead, you don't pay.

  • Three written quotes. 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.
