A licensed plumber for Little Bay houses and flats, day or night
A ceiling leak, a toilet that won’t stop running or a hot water unit gone cold needs a licensed plumber in Little Bay. Our plumber Little Bay team takes calls at any hour and works in houses, townhouses and apartments.
Each job gets a price before we start, and that price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
Which plumbing jobs come up in Little Bay flats and houses?
The 2021 Census puts flats or apartments at 55.2% of Little Bay’s occupied homes. In a strata building, a plumbing job starts with one question: is this pipe yours or the building’s? Here are four jobs that come up in homes like these.
Slow sinks and blocked drains
A kitchen drain that gurgles or a shower that won’t clear points to a blockage in the waste line. A camera inspection shows whether clearing a blocked drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks behind walls and floors
A damp ceiling patch or a climbing water bill points to a pipe leaking out of sight. We use leak detection for hidden pipes before anything is opened up.
Hot water that gives out
A unit that runs cold partway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. We handle hot water system repairs and tell you when replacement makes more sense.
Taps and toilets that keep running
A cistern that never stops filling wastes water and pushes the bill up. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the usual culprit.
A water meter that keeps moving with every tap and appliance off points to a leak somewhere on the property. Turn everything off and watch the dial for a few minutes.
Who owns which pipes in Little Bay?
Sydney Water says the property owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. Water mains and meters are usually Sydney Water’s, and it notes that you may share services with other properties.
Owners also look after private pipes, fixtures and backflow prevention devices, says Sydney Water. A backflow prevention device is a valve that stops water flowing backwards into the mains supply.
Emergency plumber Little Bay: any hour, day or night
A pipe that bursts at midnight or a toilet that overflows on a Sunday can’t wait for opening hours. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers at any hour. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start.
Find your shut-off valve before you need it. Sydney Water owns the water meter at your property and says you must keep it free from damage. In an apartment building, ask your strata manager where the building’s main valve is.
- Turn the water off at the main tap, or at the valve under the sink or behind the toilet.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Open the lowest tap to drain the pipes and ease the pressure.
- In a strata building, tell the strata manager or committee if the leak has reached common property.
Gas fitting and hot water for Little Bay households
Moving a gas heater, fitting a new cooktop or adding a bayonet point is licensed gasfitting work. Our gas fitting service covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
A storage hot water unit keeps a tank of heated water ready. An instantaneous unit heats water as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions, so check which you have before you book a repair.
If you smell gas, get everyone out and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Little Bay?
A plumber submits a Notice of Work before starting a job that needs an inspection. NSW lists emergency work and minor works, like replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system, as cases where one isn’t needed.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. Ask for your copy and keep it with the papers for the home.
Plumbing in a suburb of flats and townhouses
Randwick City Council’s city plan lists Little Bay among the suburbs of Randwick City. Chifley, Malabar, Maroubra and Matraville are on the same list.
Little Bay homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
The Census counted 1,025 flats or apartments and 537 separate houses. In a strata building, who owns a pipe depends on where it runs. A rented home still has an owner responsible for its pipes up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services. NSW says tenants should ask their landlord to arrange repairs.
Plumber Little Bay: who fixes it in a strata building?
| The problem | Who is responsible | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| A leaking tap, toilet or shower inside your unit | The owner of the unit | Call a licensed plumber. Tenants ask their landlord. |
| A leak in a boundary wall or under the floor | The owners corporation | Tell the strata manager or committee. |
| Water damage coming from inside your unit | The owner of the unit | Fix the source with a licensed plumber. |
| Water damage coming from common property | The owners corporation | Report it to the strata manager or committee. |
NSW says to check your strata plan and by-laws when it isn’t clear who should make a repair. A copy comes from the owners corporation, the strata manager or your agent.
