Maintenance and repairs: taps, toilets, hot water and burst pipes
Taps, toilets, sinks, showers, burst pipes and leaks.
Most of what Gregg gets called out for day-to-day is repair work. Taps that have been dripping for six months, toilets that never stopped running, hot water units cutting in and out, showers that have lost pressure, and the burst pipe under the house that got discovered when the water bill tripled.
Small jobs get treated the same as big ones. Gregg will re-washer a tap that has years left in it before he will sell you a new one. That is the reputation, and it is the reason word-of-mouth carries the business.
What this covers
- Leaking and dripping taps (repair or replace)
- Running or blocked toilets
- Shower mixer replacement and shower pressure issues
- Sink and vanity repairs, waste replacements
- Burst pipes, leaks under the house or in the wall
- Hot water repairs (elements, thermocouples, valves)
- General plumbing maintenance
How Gregg works
- 1
Phone call first
A lot of small jobs can be diagnosed on the phone. Gregg will tell you if it sounds like something you can fix in five minutes yourself, or if it is a call-out.
- 2
Diagnose properly
On site, Gregg diagnoses before quoting. Jenny in Kanmantoo had years of tap issues no other plumber would touch; going through the lot properly was the answer.
- 3
Repair or replace
If a repair will hold, that is the recommendation. If the fitting is genuinely finished, replacement is the honest answer.
- 4
Job done
Site left clean. Nothing left running. Nothing left half-fixed.

Why Gregg
The three-line summary of Gregg's reputation: honest quote, no upsell, and small jobs are respected. Jenny's Google review says it plainly: her taps had been giving trouble for years, and Gregg went through the lot in one visit.
What customers say
★★★★★“I highly recommend Gregg's service. He showed up when he said he would. Communication was excellent but best of all he repaired all our taps which have been giving us so many issues for years that no other plumber seemed able or willing to address. All our taps are now in perfect working order and we are so happy! Gregg's rates are very reasonable and we will be calling on him again when we start our bathroom renovations.”
Common questions
Do you take small jobs like one dripping tap?+
Yes. A dripping tap is a fair call-out, and the fix is often 20 minutes. Rates are quoted upfront so there are no surprises.
How much for a call-out?+
There is a fair call-out plus hourly. Gregg will quote it before he books the visit. There is no drawing-breath-in to add cost at the end.
My hot water keeps cutting out, is that a repair?+
Usually yes. Most hot water cut-outs are a thermocouple, an element or a valve, not a full tank replacement. Gregg will diagnose before recommending a replacement.
