Hot water repairs
and replacements, same day.
Cold shower this morning? A failed hot water unit is one of the most common calls we get — and one of the fastest to fix. CLB Plumbing repairs and replaces gas, electric and continuous-flow hot water systems across Melbourne's South East, usually the same day you call.
Repair or replace — honest advice either way
Not every failed hot water service needs a new unit. Sometimes it's a thermocouple, a relief valve or a tripped element — a straightforward repair at a fraction of the cost. When a tank is genuinely at the end of its life (most last 8–12 years), we'll tell you straight and quote a replacement at a fixed price.
As licensed plumbers and gas fitters we install and service all major brands — Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax — across storage tanks, continuous-flow (instantaneous) units and heat-pump systems, for both gas and electric homes.
Signs your hot water system is failing
- Water not as hot as it used to be, or running out fast
- Rusty or discoloured water from the hot tap
- Water pooling around the base of the tank
- Pilot light that won't stay lit on gas units
