Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbing Fixed For Good, not fixed for now.

Licensed plumbers across Melbourne, Geelong, Canberra & Ballarat.

Family-owned since 2007. The plumber who 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.

  • $0 call-out
  • Three written quotes, every job
  • 10-year workmanship guarantee
Richie Foster, founder of Fix-It Right Plumbing

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.

Every job

Fix-It Now - Pay Later

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.

Specialist drain repairs, not just another clear

When a drain keeps blocking, clearing it over and over never fixes the cause. We camera the line, find what's actually wrong, and where the pipe itself is damaged we reline it, with no digging where we can manage it. The blockage stops coming back. It's the kind of work a lot of plumbers send on to someone else, and it's work we do ourselves.

We specialise in homes

Fix-It Right is a residential plumbing business, and that's on purpose. We're not trying to be everything to everyone. Homes are what we do all day, every day, from heritage terraces to brand-new builds, so we know the pipework, the common faults and the quirks of houses in your area. Doing one thing properly is how the job gets done right the first time.

The same plumber, start to finish

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.

Why fixing it right actually saves you

  • Money.

    Pay for the fix once, not a bit at a time forever. No second call-out, no third. A leak nobody finds shows up on the water bill every quarter until someone finds it.

  • Time.

    One visit, not another day off work. Not another four-hour window waiting at home. Not another stranger walking through the house.

  • Damage you can't see.

    Water that keeps coming back sits in the floor, the frame and the plaster. Mould behind a wall costs more than the plumbing ever did. Finding the real cause early keeps a small job small.

Why we train, and why it shows up at your door

Training is the one thing we really specialise in. A plan before the van leaves. Parts organised. Tools repaired the week they break. Nobody sent to a job they haven't been shown how to do. Work checked the first time. Prepared people do work they're proud of, get home on time and stay, and that's what a 10-year guarantee is actually made of: someone still standing behind it in year seven.

What people say after we've been

The person behind the name

“If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right.”

Richie learned that from his dad in a shed in Langwarrin, spent four years welding food-grade stainless where a weld is either right or it isn't, and started the business in 2007 with an ad in the local paper and a ute he set up himself. In 2015 he renamed it after his dad's rule: Fix-It Right. Every plumber on the team still trains with him weekly.
