Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Point Lonsdale

Written by us, about the streets we work

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.

What actually goes wrong in Ocean Grove homes

Leak detection in Ocean Grove

A leak doesn't always come from where the water shows up. In Ocean Grove, Jared's leak detection pinpointed it to a garden tap line, so that line was capped off and nothing inside the house had to be opened up. Finding it first is what keeps a small leak a small job.

More on how we find hidden leaks: from a dripping ceiling to a pipe under the slab.

Great online booking service and Arron was punctual after phoning with an eta. An inspection was done on arrival and a quote prepared of potential work to be done. Although we chose not to accept the full quote it wasn't a problem and Arron completed tasks requested quickly and explained what he had done. Thank you

The same plumber, start to finish

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

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.

Jared 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.

Couldn't be happier with the service provided today by Ryan. My options were explained clearly before any work started, I was kept updated whilst the job was completed and the finished result is better than I could have hoped for! Ryan was very knowledgeable & professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fix It Right Plumbing

On the tools he likes the variety of maintenance plumbing, no two days the same rather than the same tasks on repeat, and he enjoys getting to know our customers, understanding what they need and helping them out. Most of all, Ryan takes pride in fixing a job properly so it stays fixed.

Ocean Grove plumbing questions

Straight answers, no runaround

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.
