Hot Water Repairs & Replacements Brisbane — Fast, Local & Reliable

There’s never a good time to lose hot water. Whether your shower runs cold, your tank leaks, or your system keeps tripping the switchboard, you need it fixed quickly — and properly.
At CK Plumbing, we’ve been repairing and replacing hot water systems across Holland Park, Mount Gravatt, Coorparoo, Carina, and Brisbane’s Southside for more than 15 years.
We offer same-day service for all brands and system types — electric, gas, instant, and LPG — so your home can get back to normal fast.

When to Call for Hot Water Repairs

Hot water systems rarely fail overnight — they usually show warning signs first.
Common issues include:

  • Water that’s only warm or runs cold mid-shower.
  • Leaking tanks or pooling water under the unit.
  • Rust-coloured water or metallic taste.
  • Noisy or rumbling system.
  • Safety switch tripping or electrical fault.
  • Sudden rise in energy bills.

If you notice any of these, call us before it escalates. A quick repair now can save the cost of full replacement later.

Our Hot Water Repair Process

Step 1
Diagnose

We check thermostats, elements, valves, and pipework to identify the cause — whether electrical, gas-pressure, or mechanical.

Step 2
Repair

We carry parts for all major brands including Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Bosch, Thermann, and Vulcan, allowing most repairs to be completed the same day.

Step 3
Test & Calibrate

After repairs, we pressure-test the system, set safe temperature limits, and confirm everything meets Queensland plumbing standards.

Step 4
Prevent Future Problems

We provide maintenance tips like anode replacement schedules and valve testing to extend your system’s life.

When a Replacement Makes More Sense

Sometimes repair costs approach the price of a new unit — especially for older systems.
We recommend replacement when:

  • The system is over 10–12 years old.
  • The tank is leaking or corroded.
  • Parts are obsolete or discontinued.
  • You need a more energy-efficient model.

Replacing an outdated unit can lower power bills, improve water pressure, and ensure reliable performance for years to come.
