Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Point Lonsdale

Ocean Grove and the coastal towns around it, Barwon Heads and Point Lonsdale, are a popular stretch of the Bellarine coast, a mix of permanent homes, holiday houses and newer builds. We work across all three as part of our Geelong service area.

Over the last two years we've done more than 100 jobs around Ocean Grove. It's a steady spread of blocked drains, hot water, taps and toilets. The coastal setting, the sandy soils and the mix of older beach houses and new builds all shape the work we see.

Holiday homes are a feature here, and problems in a place that sits empty for stretches can go unnoticed until someone's back. Coastal conditions are also harder on plumbing over time. When something comes up we find the actual cause rather than just patching it.

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 on the coast.

Ocean Grove plumbing questions

Do you look after holiday homes around Ocean Grove?

Yes, plenty of them. Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Point Lonsdale have a lot of holiday houses that sit empty between visits, and small problems can go unnoticed. We can check a place over, sort anything that's come up, and help keep an eye on the plumbing.

Who's my water authority in Ocean Grove?

Barwon Water covers Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Point Lonsdale. 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.

Does the coastal location affect my plumbing?

It can. Salt air and sandy soils are harder on pipework and fittings over time, so it's worth staying on top of small issues before they grow. We know the coast and sort things to suit.

How quickly can you get to Ocean Grove?

The Bellarine coast is part of our Geelong service area, so Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Point Lonsdale are covered.

What plumbing jobs do you do around Ocean Grove?

A steady spread of blocked drains, hot water, taps and toilets, plus leak detection, burst pipes and gas. Whatever the job, we fix the cause, not just the symptom.

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.
