The busiest plumbing room in the house
The kitchen copes with more daily plumbing than any other room, and it shows its age first. Sinks drip, mixers seize, dishwasher feeds let go, and drains slow down under years of grease and scraps.
We handle the lot: repairs, new fittings, drains and the supply lines behind them. Kitchen plumbing across Bolton Point is our regular run, so ring (02) 4063 3450 for a $0 call out and a quote before any tool comes out.
What we fix in the kitchen
One small room, plenty of moving parts. The work covers:
Sinks and mixers
Dishwasher connections
Kitchen drains
Supply lines
Tapware upgrades
Extra outlets
Old cottages and galvanised kitchen lines
The oldest cottages on the 1915 subdivision streets never had copper to begin with, and the kitchen tap is usually where galvanised pipe announces itself. Fill a glass from the cold tap first thing in the morning: rusty water means the line inside is shedding decades of scale.
- New tapware cannot lift pressure on a narrowed line, so the feed gets checked before we promise what a new mixer will do.
- Where the pipe itself is finished, we quote a replacement run rather than patching something at the end of its life.
- Fibro and weatherboard walls need careful access: cut neatly, protect the finish, patch properly.
That check costs nothing extra. It is part of quoting the job properly.
Quick checks before you call
A flooded cupboard floor is avoidable in the first minutes. Do this while you wait:
- Shut the small stop tap under the sink, if there is one and it turns.
- Lay towels and pull anything stored in the cupboard out of the wet zone.
- Note what the water looks like, because discoloured water is a useful clue on old pipe.
Estate kitchens and one building wave
The Housing Commission places went up between 1982 and 1987, and their kitchen tapware, valves and compression fittings all came from that single construction push. When one mixer goes stiff, the laundry tap and the bathroom taps are often not far behind.
- Worn parts get replaced, not reused.
- Anything close behind gets flagged so you can plan the spend.
- Fittings on external walls cop salt-laden air off the lake, so they age faster than the same parts further inland.
Hunter Water's meter and stop tap sit at the front boundary on most blocks here, and knowing where yours is saves minutes when a fitting lets go.
Jobs that get booked alongside
Kitchen plumbing rarely stays isolated from the rest of the house. Common pairings:
An under-sink leak flooding the cupboard floor is one to ring about straight away through emergency plumbing.

Kitchen plumbing questions we hear
Can you connect a dishwasher and new sink tap in one visit?
Yes. The feed and waste get connected and tested, the new tap goes on the sink, and the supply underneath gets checked first so nothing underperforms on old pipe.
The taps in our Housing Commission kitchen keep failing. Is that common?
Yes. Fittings from that 1982-87 building wave fail in batches because they share one age. We swap the worn parts and point out anything that looks likely to go next.
Will new tapware fix the low pressure at our kitchen sink?
Not on its own. Cottages around Lake Street still run galvanised supply that decades of scale have narrowed, so we test the feed and give you a straight answer before you spend.
Do you fix leaks under the sink or under the floor slab?
Both. Under-sink leaks get traced and repaired on the spot, and a slab leak gets pinpointed with leak detection gear before anyone cuts the slab, so the opening stays small.
Can you add an outside tap off the kitchen line?
Yes, where the supply can carry it. We test the pressure and quote the whole job first, using fittings chosen to stand up to the salt air on this side of the lake.
Do you cover Fennell Bay and Woodrising as well?
We do. The regular run takes in both adjoining suburbs, so see the Plumber Fennell Bay and Plumber Woodrising pages for what we cover on each side, suburb by suburb.
