Footscray and the inner-west suburbs around it are busy, changing areas, a mix of old workers' cottages, warehouse conversions and new builds. We work across Footscray, Yarraville, Kensington and Seddon, and the inner west keeps us busy.
Over the last two years we've done nearly 200 jobs around Footscray. It's a steady spread of blocked drains, taps, toilets and hot water. A lot of the housing is late-Victorian and early-1900s cottages, plenty of them renovated, alongside newer developments.
With older cottages come older drains. Roots get into aging sewer joints, and the pipes themselves have been in the ground a long time. When we clear a blockage around Footscray we find out what's actually behind it, rather than just clearing and moving on.
Whatever the job, from a blocked drain to a hot water system or a hidden leak, we fix the cause, not just the symptom. That's been the Fix-It Right way since Richie started the business in 2007.

Second time we have had Lachie to fix our plumbing problems. On both occasions he was helpful, courteous and professional.
Tristan was fantastic. He was on time, made sure I understood what the issue was and how it could be fixed. Very professional, top quality and would definitely recommend Fix It Right Plumbing and Tristan. They were reasonably priced and no pressure.
Good service, would recommend. Thane fixed a number of plumbing problems in my older unit including replacing the hot water system. Appreciate the clear communication throughout the process, clear quotes, punctuality and quality of the work.
Very positive experience with Fix It Right Plumbing. Brady Wombell ensured we got clear advice and quotations each step of the process to clear and repair our storm water drains. Pricing was fair and service excellent. John, Pt Lonsdale
Tristan came out to fix a difficult blockage in my toilet. Once he completed the job, he checked the plumbing through the rest of my apartment and listened to other concerns I had. He stayed and completed several other jobs for me. He was very thorough and kept me updated of any extra costs through the whole process.
Thane was very polite and provided a great service fixing all of our plumbing issues and detecting additional leaks we didn’t know we had. We would recommend using fix it if you’re looking for a reliable plumber!
This is the 2nd time we have used Fix it right and enjoyed excellent service from Thane. Great service and advice - Thane was on-time, polite and patient as well as getting the problem fixed quickly and reviewing other plumbing fixtures to ensure no issues occur in the future.
I needed a new hot water system. Thane did a wonderful job of inspecting, identifying & explaining the problem before returning to complete the works. It’s so good to have hot water again!!! Thank you ☺️
The response turn around for bookings was very quick. I had a booking for the next day. Jack was very helpful and did a great job. Everything was easy with no fuss, from their online booking system, to quotes and repairs.
Had Chris come out to our rental property to find and fix a leak. He was extremely helpful and kept me updated every step of the way up until the fix was completed. Provided advise as to other things that may need attention in the near future. Would definitely use again
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, it's a big part of our inner-west work. Footscray, Yarraville and Seddon have a lot of late-1800s and early-1900s cottages, and the original plumbing usually needs updating as part of a reno. We can check what you've got, find hidden problems, and sort it properly rather than patching over old pipework.
Usually the age of the pipes and roots getting into old joints. The inner-west cottages have drains that have been in the ground a long time. We find out what's actually causing a blockage so we fix the right thing, not just clear it.
Greater Western Water covers Footscray, Yarraville, Kensington and Seddon. If the trouble is at the meter or the street connection, that's their responsibility, and we'll help you sort out what's yours and what's theirs.
The inner west is a regular patch, so Footscray, Yarraville, Kensington and Seddon are well covered, along with Maribyrnong, Maidstone, Kingsville, Braybrook and West Footscray.
A steady spread of blocked drains, taps, toilets and hot water, plus leak detection, burst pipes and gas. 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.

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.
