Plumber in Bondi

NSW 2026: Expert Local Plumbing Services

Civic Plumbing provides licensed plumbing services across Bondi, with experience working on everything from older homes and art deco apartments to newer units near the beach. We understand the plumbing issues common in coastal areas, including ageing pipework, blocked drains, stormwater problems and fixtures affected by salt air, and we handle each job properly from start to finish

A Bondi Plumber Who Knows the Old Pipes

A lot of the broken pipes we dig up in Bondi have been worn down by the sandy soil and salt air. The ground shifts a little over the years, and older pipes don’t cope well. Joints pull apart, clay lines crack, and the leaks or slow drains that follow are usually the first sign. Older homes and apartment blocks often still have their original pipework, so the owners who look after it regularly tend to avoid the bigger repair bills.

We are a plumbing company based in Redfern which is about 20 minutes from Bondi outside peak hour, so we book jobs around the traffic. If you need a plumber in Bondi urgently, call early and we’ll fit you into the day’s run. With more than 20 years in the trade, we take the time to get each repair right on the first visit. All our workmanship comes with a lifetime warranty, and we’re glad to say our customers rarely need to use it.

Our Bondi Plumbing Services

Leaking pipe beneath a bathroom faucet dripping water

Leak Repairs for Apartments and Strata

In stacked unit blocks, a weeping shower recess or a corroded galvanised pipe in the wall often surfaces as a damp patch in the apartment below; we trace the leak with thermal and acoustic tools, fix it at the source and give your strata manager a report on where it started.

Hot Water Repairs and Replacement

Bondi apartments squeeze hot water units into balconies, laundries and cupboards, and salt air is hard on anything mounted outside, so we repair or replace gas, electric and heat pump systems with units and fittings sized for the space and suited to coastal conditions.

Blocked Drain Clearing

Older clay sewer lines here are often laid through sandstone, where tree roots find their way into the joints, and the restaurants along Bondi Road battle grease build-up; we jet the line clear and run a camera through it so you can see whether a repair is needed.

Bathroom Renovation Plumbing

Updating a bathroom in an art deco or walk-up unit means working with tight floor space, old cast iron stacks and strata by-laws, so we check the existing pipes before the rough-in and supply the details your owners corporation needs to approve the work.

Our Process for Bondi Jobs

Book by Phone, Email or Work Order

Get in touch to book a plumber in Bondi, then tell us the address, the floor, whether there’s a lift and who manages the building. If you know where the water shut-off for your unit is, that helps us get started sooner.

Parking Planned Before We Leave

Bondi’s narrow streets, resident permit zones and weekend beach traffic make parking a real challenge. We ask about driveways and visitor spaces when you book and schedule arrivals to avoid the busiest times.

The Problem Pinned Down

Your plumber finds the cause and backs it up with photos or drain camera footage. If the fault sits in common property, we’ll point that out so the right party can sort it.

Your Price Agreed Up Front

Before any work goes ahead, you’ll receive a fixed, itemised quote. We only start once you, your landlord or your strata manager has signed off on it.

Finished, Tested and Documented

We test the repair, clean up after ourselves and send your compliance certificate along with a written summary of the job, ready to forward to your strata manager or agent.
