Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Torquay, Jan Juc and Anglesea

Written by us, about the streets we work

Torquay and the surf coast around it are a mix of permanent homes, holiday houses and new coastal estates. We work across Torquay, Jan Juc and Anglesea, and the coastal setting shapes a fair bit of what we do here.

Over the last two years we've done around 95 jobs around Torquay. It's a steady spread of blocked drains, hot water, taps and toilets. The salt air, sandy soils and the mix of older beach houses and newer builds all feed into the kind of work we see.

Coastal conditions can be hard on plumbing, salt and sand take their toll, and holiday homes that sit empty for stretches can develop problems that go unnoticed until someone's back. When something does come 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 surf coast.

Jarred Geelong was excellent very knowledgeable ! Called out on the day, fixed the pipe, answered questions I had about other items and installed our outdoor shower a week later as we needed to wait for a part, it looks amazing so happy. Will use these guys again. Prices are fair as well.
Susan Gorman
Jarred was very professional and told me my options for a blocked drain. He discovered the sewer was backed up and rang Barwon Water straight away to get them to come out and unblock it. Many plumbers would not have acted so throughly as Jarred. Thanks Fix it Right Plumbing I’ll definitely use you again!

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

Torquay plumbing questions

Straight answers, no runaround

Do you look after holiday homes around Torquay?

Yes, a lot of them. Torquay, Jan Juc and Anglesea have plenty of holiday houses that sit empty for stretches, and small problems can go unnoticed until someone's back. We can check a place over, sort anything that's come up, and help keep an eye on the plumbing between visits.

Who's my water authority in Torquay?

Barwon Water covers Torquay, Jan Juc and Anglesea. 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 fittings and pipework over time than inland conditions, and 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 Torquay?

The surf coast is part of our Geelong service area, so Torquay, Jan Juc and Anglesea are covered, along with Bellbrae, Freshwater Creek and Breamlea.

What plumbing jobs do you do around Torquay?

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.
