Our service areas

‘Inner City Plumbing’ was a great name for our company when we first set up shop. It told our clients everything they needed to know about us. But that was decades ago. We’ve grown a bit since then.

We’ve expanded our service area to cover over 160 Melbourne suburbs.

As expansive as our service area is, we still guarantee our one-hour response time to all homes and businesses within it. You can count on us to be there when you need us.

Explained the problem and quoted the cost before carrying out any work.Thanks for the help.Highly recommend Inner City PlumbingLouis ClayLouis Clay ★★★★★ Shane was on time, found the problem and fixed it quickly - great service from Inner City Plumbing.Cameron MiltonCameron Milton ★★★★★ Inner City Plumbing were fantastic, everything from booking in the appointment, to the plumbers Jack and Lauchlan turning up on time, giving advice, and honestly working hard, would call them again any day of the week if I or when I need another plumbing problem resolved. I highly recommend themTsets GibbonsTsets Gibbons ★★★★★ David BruceDavid Bruce ★★★★★ Quick, efficient and friendly and most importantly did an excellent job.Nathan ChaniagoNathan Chaniago ★★★★★ Just got off the phone with Inner City Plumbing, where they saved me a few grand. Was looking to get drain grates installed on my roof. I had a previous plumber quote me a suspicious price, so I wanted a second opinion. Called up Inner City where I was redirected to Sam. After some back and forth, he explained that it was something I could easily do myself for a fraction of the cost. They could've easily charged for a visit, but instead just gave me honest and practical advice.Sean SextonSean Sexton ★★★★★ I couldn’t say enough good things about Shane, and Inner City Plumbing. Bang on time, fixed what needed to be fixed and saved me from botching replacing the shower head myself. Chilled, happy to answer questions, his ultra positive early morning vibes got the bathroom back to 100% in next to no time. Thanks so much. Cheers. Sean.Aaron MorrisonAaron Morrison ★★★★★ Inner City Plumbing were absolutely outstanding!! We needed emergency plumbing after the sewer surged back into our wet areas and flooded the floor.

Frequently asked questions

Here are five signs our hot water system might need to be repaired:

  1. It has leaks and puddles around it
  2. It constantly makes clanging and banging noises
  3. It heats water slower than it used to
  4. It runs out of hot water extremely quickly
  5. The hot water it produces smells or has an odd colour

If you notice any of these signs, give our repair plumbers a call.

Electric hot water systems tend to be more technologically advanced than gas hot water systems and are typically more reliable. However, you’ll need to consider other factors before choosing between them, such as gas and electric prices, heating capacity, or your access to solar power.

Ultimately, the reliability of a water heater depends on how well-maintained it is. If yours breaks down, our repair plumbers can advise you on how to upgrade or replace it.
