We highly recommend Chris Williams, The Nixon Plumber. We have a1940 double brick house we keep in original condition. He has replaced our kitchen, bathroom taps and two shower heads and toilet water inlet. Also garden hose. He chose and sourced great fittings in keeping with the house. He is responsive, a great communicator and leaves the place tidy.

I had a 40th party and had drama with my sink after. Chris quickly fitted me in, fixed the problem and done it with a kind smile on his face. Very respectful and timely. Recommend wholeheartedly

Chris did an amazing job at my place fixing the bath spa pump. I found to be highly reliable, polite and honest. He maintained good communications with me while parts were sent away for repair and ensured I got the best possible deal. Definitely the best plumber I have called on in years. Would not hesitate to use him again.

Frequently asked questions

How much do plumbers typically charge?

Plumbing costs vary significantly depending on the type of job and its complexity. Simple fixture repairs are generally much less than jobs involving pipe replacement, excavation or gas appliance work. Most quotes include a call-out fee, hourly labour and parts, with after-hours or emergency attendance usually attracting higher rates. This page shows live pricing for jobs in your area.

Do plumbers charge call-out fees?

Call-out fees are common and are often used to cover travel and the initial assessment. Plumbers typically add hourly labour and any materials or replacement parts to the call-out fee. After-hours, weekend or emergency attendances are usually charged at higher rates and some small jobs may have a minimum charge.

Do plumbers need a licence in Australia?

Yes. Plumbing work must be carried out by a licensed plumber in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW the regulator is NSW Fair Trading (Building Commission NSW). Plumbers will generally provide their licence number and should be able to supply compliance certificates for regulated work. Look for an ABN, public liability insurance and relevant industry memberships as additional trust signals.

Does The Nixon Plumber have a verified ABN?

Yes. The Nixon Plumber has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
