The suburb's housing runs from Federation homes on the ridge to art deco walk-ups near the river, and that spread keeps the work varied. One visit usually covers it, with the full price agreed before work begins.
Match Your Problem to the Right Page
Six pages sit here, and each one deals with a different kind of job:
- A dripping mixer, a stiff tap or a shower that won't shut off heads to tap repairs.
- A running cistern, a wobbling pan or a toilet that won't flush goes to toilet repairs.
- Renovating a bathroom, or fixing a shower that's gone cold and weak, belongs on the bathroom page.
- Blocked sinks, dishwashers and leaking mixer hoses under the kitchen bench sit with kitchen plumbing.
- A water bill that's climbing with no visible cause points to leak detection.
- Cooktops, bayonet points, heater connections and any gas appliance work belong with gas fitting.
For water coming through a ceiling right now, or a gas smell, skip ahead to our emergency pages and call (07) 3067 4272 straight away.
Old Pipes Behind New Kitchens
New Farm was sewered by the mid-1930s, and plenty of the plumbing underneath today's renovations dates from that era or earlier. That history shapes almost every job on this peninsula.
Galvanised still hiding in the walls
Some of the first-built houses here still have galvanised supply pipe lurking behind walls that have been renovated since, quietly starving newer bathrooms of flow. Weak pressure in a renovated shower is often a supply problem, not a fixture problem.
Flats, mostly
Apartments now form the majority of local dwellings, so a large share of our jobs happens inside units rather than backyards. That means body corporate approvals, shared laterals and careful access through occupied buildings.
Cement-jointed drains
Much of the suburb's wastewater still travels through clay lines jointed with cement, and a century of shifting ground and invading roots has slowly undone those joints, one by one.
The Six Plumbing Jobs We Cover
Every page below covers one trade in detail, with New Farm specifics on each:
Tap Repairs
From a worn washer in a Federation-era pillar tap to a failed cartridge in a modern mixer, we repair or replace taps of every age. Details on tap repairs.
Toilet Repairs
Running cisterns, broken flush buttons, leaking pans and full suite replacements all sit here. A toilet that keeps running can waste a surprising amount of water between visits. See toilet repairs.
Bathroom Plumbing
Showers, basins, bath taps and the pipework behind renovated walls, plus fixture swaps during upgrades. Bathroom work in older buildings often reveals supply pipes needing attention. See bathroom plumbing.
Kitchen Plumbing
Sinks, mixer hoses, dishwasher connections and the drains under the bench that catch grease. A leaking flexi hose under a kitchen sink is one of our most common calls. See kitchen plumbing.
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks behind walls, under floors and under gardens, found and traced before they become structural damage. A water bill that climbs with no visible cause is the classic sign. See leak detection.
Gas Fitting
Licensed gas work covering cooktop and heater connections, bayonet points, appliance swaps and gas leak repairs for houses and flats, all done under QBCC No: 15024607. See gas fitting.

Maintain, Repair or Replace
Most plumbing decisions come down to three options, and the right one depends on the fixture, the building and the pipe behind it.
Maintain
Washers, flappers, seals and O-rings cost little, and swapping them on schedule keeps good fixtures working. A tap serviced every few years can outlast several renovations. Maintenance visits suit owners who want small problems caught early.
Repair
When something breaks, repair is usually first cab off the rank. A leaking mixer cartridge, a cracked cistern inlet valve or a failed dishwasher hose can all be repaired in a single visit with the right parts on the van. We'll always tell you when a repair is the sensible spend.
Replace
Some things have reached the end of the road. A rusted galvanised supply run, a cracked toilet pan or a mixer with parts no longer made costs less to replace than to keep patching, once you count the repeat callouts. Replacement also makes sense during renovations, when the walls are already open.
Drains have their own decision tree, and our drainage overview covers clearing, CCTV inspections and stormwater. Heaters past saving sit with hot water, where repair versus replacement gets its own full treatment.
Cafe Grease and Shared Drains
The plumbing on this peninsula also serves commerce, not just homes. The eateries on the main strip and around Merthyr Village all drain into shared lines, and grease thickens inside those ageing laterals beneath the shop rows.
- A kitchen sink that drains slowly in a shopfront or ground-floor cafe unit is often sharing a grease-loaded lateral with several other tenancies.
- Body corporates and landlords call us for recurring blockages because the fix usually sits in the shared pipework, not the individual unit.
- We quote shared-drain work to the responsible party up front, so there's no confusion about who pays for what.

Plumbing Questions From New Farm
Call (07) 3067 4272What kind of plumbing work do you do in New Farm?
We handle tap and toilet repairs, bathroom and kitchen plumbing, leak detection and licensed gas fitting across New Farm, in everything from Federation houses to walk-up flats, with the price fixed before we start.
Why has the water pressure dropped in my old New Farm house?
The oldest houses can still carry galvanised supply pipes hidden behind later renovations, and the rust building inside them chokes flow, so we trace the run and quote a replacement.
Who is responsible for the water meter and mains in New Farm?
Around New Farm, Urban Utilities owns the street water mains and public sewers, yet anything downstream of the connection point is yours to keep in good working order and repair.
Can you work in an apartment block with one shared water supply?
Yes, we routinely work in the walk-up blocks around Merthyr Road, coordinating with body corporates and isolating individual units where a shared supply needs a planned shutdown so the rest of the block keeps water.
Do you install gas appliances as well as repair them?
Yes, our licensed gas fitting covers cooktops, bayonet points and heater connections as well as repairs, and every job is done by a licensed plumber under QBCC No: 15024607, with the price fixed first.
