Kitchen plumbing that copes with the busiest room in the house
The kitchen copes with more water, grease and daily wear than any other plumbing in the house. Plumbers Greta handles the lot across Greta, from a mixer that will not shut off to a full sink and appliance hookup.
Everything starts the same way: a $0 call out, a quote before a tool comes out, and work made right if it is not right the first time.
The general plumbing hub covers the whole house; this page stays in the kitchen.
What kitchen plumbing covers
A kitchen call is rarely just one thing, so here is the spread:
- Taps, mixers and sink plumbing, from drips to full replacements
- Waste lines and traps, where grease and scraps cause most trouble
- Dishwasher and appliance connections, plumbed in and tested
- Gas cooktop lines, run and leak tested properly
- Supply line work, including old galvanised pipe that chokes flow
- Drain trouble that starts at the sink and runs deeper into the ground
Kitchen plumbing in the old town
Homes around High Street and the original grid date from the coal decades, and their kitchen plumbing shows its age.

Kitchens up on the rise
Wyndham Ridge kitchens are a different story. The homes are young, but volume building leaves the familiar run of early failures:
- Mixers that weep at the base
- Flexi hoses past their best
- Waste connections that never quite seated right
Those fixes are usually quick and priced to match. The one to watch is the flexi hose under the sink, which fails without warning and dumps water into a cupboard while nobody is home.
Swapping an ageing hose during any other kitchen job is a sensible upgrade, and it takes minutes.
Kitchen plumbing services we run
Every job below gets the quote-first treatment, whether it is a five-minute reseal or half a day under the sink.
Tap and mixer repairs
A dripping kitchen tap wastes water and wears the seat a little more every week, so we reseat or replace the tapware and stop the drip at the source.
Sink and waste connections
New sinks need the waste, trap and outlets connected properly the first time, so we plumb them in level and sealed and test the drain before we go.
Dishwasher installation
A new machine needs a proper connection to the supply and the waste, not a hose pushed into a trap, so we fit to spec and run a full cycle.
Gas cooktop connections
Gas cooktops must be connected by a licensed gas fitter, so we run the line, fit the appliance, leak test every joint and leave the paperwork straight.
Blocked sink drains
Kitchen sinks block on grease and scraps before anything else, so we clear the trap and the line properly and check the run below for deeper trouble.
Water pressure and supply
Weak flow at the sink often traces back to furred galvanised pipe rather than the tap itself, so we find the restriction and quote the right fix.

Where kitchen trouble connects to the rest of the house
Some kitchen calls turn out to be a different job wearing a kitchen hat. These pages cover the nearby work:
Kitchen plumbing questions, answered
How much does a kitchen plumbing job cost?
Every job gets the price in writing before anything starts, so the figure is agreed up front. A simple tap reseal lands well below a full supply changeover.
Can you come the same day?
Same-day service runs where the schedule allows. A burst line under the sink jumps the queue, and a slow drip can usually wait a day or two.
My sink drains slowly but never blocks. Why?
A fouled trap or a grease-coated waste line is the usual culprit. If the trouble sits deeper in one of the old clay branches below the town, we show you on camera first.
Do you connect dishwashers as well as plumb them in?
Yes. The new machine gets plumbed into the water supply and the drain, connected to spec, and then tested through a full wash cycle before we hand the kitchen back.
Can you connect a gas cooktop?
Yes, as a licensed gas fitting job. We run or extend the line, connect the cooktop, leak test the joints and leave the compliance side in order.
Why is kitchen flow weak in the old cottages?
Galvanised services from the coal decades have furred shut inside, so even a new tap runs weak. Swapping the old pipe for copper or PEX brings proper flow back.
