No hot water in the morning, a tank that's leaking, or inconsistent temperatures? The Trusty Tradie provides fast, reliable hot water repairs, servicing and replacements to keep your water flowing.

I work with gas, electric and heat pump hot water systems, and offer same-day servicing for urgent issues like a total loss of hot water or a leaking unit. I don't install solar hot water systems, but I do carry out solar maintenance. I'm upfront and fair with costs, respectful of your home, and I clean up after myself.

Repairs or replacement

I’ll help you decide

Not every hot water problem means a new system. I'll assess the issue and give you honest advice on whether a repair will do the job, or whether it's more cost-effective long-term to replace the unit — no upselling, just what's right for your situation.

“Scott has been our regular plumber for the past 3 years and we are extremely happy and won’t be changing, over this time he has put in a new toilet, stove, dishwasher and laundry sink and now fixed our hot water unit and will be installing another dishwasher at another property, his prices are fair and he’s fast and efficient. Very recommended.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Hot water systems can present a few different warning signs. Random knocking, squealing or screeching noises, fluctuating temperatures, a total loss of hot water, or excessive, persistent steam from the flue outlet all mean it's time to call for a repair. If you hear hissing or running water, this usually means a burst cylinder and requires a replacement — isolate the water supply to the unit immediately and call me.

  • Most repairs are completed within a couple of hours, depending on the issue.

  • Yes — I work on gas, electric and heat pump hot water systems.

  • No, I don't charge a call-out fee for hot water repairs or any other job. I offer transparent, fair pricing.

  • Yes — day or night, I can get you up and running.
