St Kilda and the bayside suburbs around it are a busy patch for us, a mix of grand old terraces, 1960s and 70s walk-up flats, and new apartments. We work across St Kilda, Elwood, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne, and the range of housing means no two jobs are quite the same.
Over the last two years we've done more than 220 jobs around St Kilda. Tap and toilet repairs top the list, which fits an area with a lot of flats and apartments where those are the things that wear out and need sorting. Blocked drains are a big part of it too.
When a drain does block around St Kilda, tree roots are behind it about one in five times. The older sewer lines through the established streets, combined with plenty of mature trees, give roots a way in. We check whether roots are the cause rather than just clearing the blockage, so it doesn't keep happening.
Whatever the job, from a leaking tap to a blocked drain 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.

HI there, I highly recommend Fix it Right Plumbing. They are by far the Best in the Business. Just had young Conrad repair my burst pipe and he was absolutely amazing. A true perfectionist and with extreme Knowledge as to what he was doing. I give 5 stars. Sincerely George :)
Professional and timely service, that sets a new benchmark. Company did a great job of keeping us informed what would happen and when. Conrad arrived on time, resolved the issue and highlighted other items that needed attention. At all times we were kept informed of what needed to be done, why and the cost. Will use again.
Lachie was awesome, super knowledgeable and invested in making sure my problem was fully resolved. The company had also helped me with a leak issue a couple years before as well, and I would recommend them to anyone needing quality plumbing work and expertise.
Tristan did an excellent job with our plumbing issues. He was very thorough and clearly articulated what was needed.
I had been having ongoing issues with a kitchen sink blockage which Thane managed to fix promptly and without fuss. Excellent communication skills and a willingness to make totally sure I was happy and there were no further issues he could help with.
Fix it right plumbing were very helpful and able to provide same day service. Jack was great and knowledgeable and able to help with a lot of things wrong with my bathroom. Will definitely use this company in the future
Josh was a legend. After dealing with two plumbers who were less than professional Josh came in and fixed the problem quickly and at a very reasonable rate. I can now do both 1s and 2s with no leaks and real peace of mind.
Kyle thanks again for fixing my cistern issue. Your persistence and hard work resulted in getting the issue resolved. You were professional and couteous. Thank you for taking the time to keep me updated with the progress throughout.
My daughter recommended this company and I am very happy that she did. Great communication from head office and Jack who was our plumber on site. Jack assessed the work required and commenced work immediately. He clearly explained the current state of things and the rectification required, which was done quickly.
Mitch was lovely to deal with, found the source a leak that a different plumber had missed. Everything was explained clearly, customer service was excellent from both Mitch and Shae in the office. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Brendan did an awesome job fixing my leaking shower head and replacing the taps. The team were super responsive and flexible to make sure that everything was fixed before the weekend. I would definitely use their service again and recommend to anyone who needs any plumbing services done.
Daniel was excellent, excellent friendly customer service. Completed the job efficiently, gave further advice and went above and beyond. He ended up completing more jobs than I booked him for. Highly recommend Fix It Right!
Very happy with our experience with Fix It Right Plumbing. The fellow James who came to our place explained everything he was doing. He used impressive equipment to test for pipe leaks and investigate the sewer for causes of flow reduction. Everything was fixed on the spot.
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.

Cailem was an experienced plumber and efficient and friendly and I was more than satisfied with the excellent work he did.
Yes, a lot of it. St Kilda, Elwood and Port Melbourne have plenty of older walk-up flats and newer apartments, and a big part of our work here is taps, toilets and the everyday repairs that come up in that kind of housing. We're used to working in units and dealing with shared plumbing.
South East Water covers St Kilda, Elwood, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne. If the issue is at the meter or the sewer connection at the street, that's their responsibility, and we'll help you sort out what's yours and what's theirs before any work starts.
Tree roots are behind about one in five blocked drains here. The older sewer lines through the established bayside streets have joints that roots get into, especially with all the mature trees around. We check whether roots are the cause so the problem actually stops, rather than clearing it and seeing you again.
The bayside and inner south is a patch we work in regularly, so St Kilda, Elwood, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne are well covered, along with Albert Park, Balaclava and Ripponlea.
Taps and toilets top the list, then blocked drains, but we do the full range: hot water, leak detection, burst pipes, gas and general maintenance. Whatever the job, we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
$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.
12 months, no interest, nothing to pay
Get it fixed today, on any job, and make your first payment in a year. It's there because a burst pipe doesn't wait for payday, and neither should the repair.
*Eligible jobs. Terms, conditions and credit approval apply.
Every job comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty.
