Down to Earth Plumbing Maintenance is a local family-owned business that has been in the area for over 10 years. We take pride in creating long-lasting relationships with all our customers and many locals trust us as their go-to plumber.
Newcastle’s residents remember us for our quality work at competitive prices without sacrificing service excellence.
Personalised, quick, and dependable service is what we aim to provide to all of our clients. When you contact us for assistance with your plumbing projects or concerns, we can deliver high-quality work at reasonable costs because we specialise in residential plumbing! - no hidden fees or tricks, just fair pricing right upfront.
We offer free estimates for larger or more complicated jobs. As a result, we will generally need to ask you questions about your lifestyle or usage of the product in order to provide the best service possible. (e.g. "Is this the main toilet, or the guest suite?"). One of the reasons we can offer competitive quotes is because of our tailored approach.
We appreciate our community in the Newcastle region, and one way we show it is by providing a discount to seniors. Those who have a valid NSW Seniors Card can get 10% off plumbing labour!
We are fully licensed to do all types of plumbing work. With 20 million in liability insurance, we provide our customers with complete reassurance that if the worst (but unlikely) scenario arises, they will be taken care of. Our plumbers Newcastle-way are required to be fully vaccinated and must follow standard health and safety precautions including social distancing and hand washing.
When you need help with your plumbing, our first consideration is always for the best interests of our customer. Our goal is to provide our clients with quality products and services at affordable prices tailored specifically towards meeting individual needs!
After years in the industry, we know what it takes to provide exceptional plumbing services! With that said, if something is on its last legs and might need replacement soon (or even now!), we'll give you the opportunity to fix it all up in the one trip. If you're not up for it, at least you'll be aware of it for the future, in order to budget for repairs or replacements required down the line. Our plumbers always have your health, safety and budget in mind.
If it's a simple, maintenance job we can usually give you a price over the phone. We will always be upfront about all costs including call out, labour and materials so you can be sure about your budget for repairs and replacements of any kind.
Whether it's for washing or bathing- you need someone who will fix your hot water system promptly. Nobody likes taking a cold shower, and neither do we! So if you're looking to get that fixed ASAP then come talk with our licensed professionals today at Down To Earth Plumbing Maintenance.
We service and replace all major brands so households of all kinds can find the assistance they need on time and within a price range to suit their budget.
If you experience any issues with your drains, it's important that they are dealt with immediately. Blocked drains can cause costly damage and create an inconvenience for homeowners.
We offer effective drain clearing services in Newcastle with the power of precision, via our CCTV system as well as the use of high pressure jetters to clear blockages - no matter how deep they may be located on your property.
If you're facing a constant leak that's come about by general wear, tear and degradation - If not fixed early it could lead to bigger issues. Leaks can also cause inflated water bills as well as a negative impact on our water-saving efforts. In some cases, leaks are dangerous for your home if they occur in ceilings or walls since this type of damage may be causing weaknesses or promote the growth of mould - which can lead to health complications in the long run.
We can usually repair most leaks onsite, however, if the issue presented requires a full replacement, we have some stock-standard fixture options available on hand. Alternatively, we can source other fixtures to your liking and have them installed.
If you have noticed that there is water escaping your shower space and leaking onto the bathroom floor, it's likely that the shower seal is no longer intact. If water is making its way out from your shower taps, the silicone behind the tap flanges has probably degraded. As a precaution, we will pressure test the shower breach too, in order to be certain that it hasn't burst - If this is the case, no worries, we can take care of that as well. You can call on us to locate and repair your shower leaks in a cost effective and timely manner.
If your toilet is presenting some of the following issues: cistern filling continuously, not completely emptying, doesn't completely flush without holding button down, visible leaks around the bowl or the inlet and outlet valves etc.
These are all maintenance tasks that can be solved by our plumber. Newcastle residents can call on us to flush their toilet maintenance problems away!
Usually, an inconspicuous leaking or burst pipe is noticed when you're seeing unusually high water bills. If you're noticing brown spotting or peeling paint on your walls and ceiling, this could be from the excess moisture seeping in from a leaking pipe in your home. If left unchecked, this can lead not only costly repairs but also extensive property damages.
If your home has C-grade copper piping, it may have developed pin hole leaks over the years. The best long term solution in this situation, is to replace all pipes with B-grade copper or plastic systems.
If your bathroom vanity has been looking a little worse for wear, then it's time to freshen up the space! We can install a new one that matches your existing style as closely as possible. Alternatively, we can measure up the space and source a new one on your behalf.
Sometimes this means some patch-up work needs to be done with the surrounding tiling - but don't worry because we have connections with reliable tradesmen who are able to assist there as well. We’ll ensure everything runs smoothly with your bathroom vanity project.
With low-flow fixtures, you can save money on your water bills (and join the environmental movement). For installation of flow restrictors or low-flow taps, showerheads, and toilets, we have got you covered.
The average Australian household can save up to $175 per year by making the switch to water-saving devices, especially on some of the biggest water-wasting culprits such as washing machines, showers, and toilets.
Believe it or not, these savings also apply to your power and gas expenses, as the overall volume of water that must be heated is lower, resulting in less demand on your gas or electric hot water heaters - You can read more about this here
If you're after cleaner, safer drinking water in your household, we can source and install water filtration systems to your kitchen tap. We can also organise plumbing to your fridge cavity for fridges that have ice and water filter functions.
This can involve running a water line from the kitchen sink into the fridge space, however, this must be completed by a licenced plumber as mandated by Australian regulations. Hop on the phone to us today for a chat about how we can help you with your water filtration queries.

Got a question? We’re here to help.
It's normal to consider wanting to go DIY on your home's plumbing in order to save money. And, in some situations, that can be a good idea if you have the necessary skills and materials at your disposal.
However, most plumbing activities without a licence can get you into a lot of trouble.
According to the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011, anyone caught completing plumbing works without a licence could be subject to hefty fines.
Overall, the risk is not worth it! If your plumbing system were to fail and you had to file an insurance claim, the insurer could find out about the unlicensed work and choose not to cover you. Not to mention, if you plan on selling your home in the future, any unlicensed work done now could nullify product warranties and create a headache later on. So when plumbing comes into question, let the experts handle it.
I have been working in the plumbing industry since 2001. I am experienced with housing, civil work, and plumbing maintenance. I have a plumbing, drainage, and roofing licence.
Previously I’ve worked for large businesses, but I realised that I could do better quality work at a lower price. Also, because I work for myself, I can give my clients personalised services and tips that will help them avoid problems in the future.
In 2010, I founded Down to Earth Plumbing Maintenance. From then until now, our company has become known for qualities such as being reliable and providing quality work. In addition, we offer personalised services and always leave the worksite clean afterwards.
We want Down to Earth Plumbing Maintenance to be known as the business that treats clients with respect and offers service with a friendly smile. That's why we're a highly trusted plumbing company in the Newcastle Area.
Because the plumbing industry is always advancing, those who work in it need to commit to learning new techniques and technologies. We take this obligation very seriously, and we devote a significant amount of time and effort to keeping our staff up-to-date on the newest techniques.
We offer a complete range of services that include plumbing, heating, and drainage. We also have a valid and current licence and insurance, so you know you're in good hands whenever you deal with us. When it comes to your plumbing needs, you can trust us because we are the firm to call.
At Down to Earth Plumbing Maintenance, we believe that providing our customers with the highest level of quality service and craftsmanship is paramount. We take pride in what we do and are constantly seeking out ways to improve. One way we deliver on this commitment is by offering same-day service for urgent matters.
We always come prepared with a stocked-up truck, so unless a special order is needed, we can finish the job in one day. Our plumbers are able to work quickly and efficiently without delays as they are fully equipped with all the usual parts that tend to solve common issues.
As a result, you can rest assured that your urgent works will be completed correctly and on the same day you contact us. So don't hesitate to call us if you need a fast, expert plumbing service. We'll be delighted to assist you.
We believe in delivering high-quality plumbing services at a fair price. Before we begin, we'll give you a full explanation of our costs, so there are no unpleasant surprises. We promise to be honest about our prices so that you can make a good decision about your plumbing needs and budget.
Prices for our services are based on the circumstances of the job. Unfortunately, there is no way to provide accurate estimates without examining each situation individually. Below are some examples of how jobs can differ:
These are but two examples that are presenting the same problem, however, requiring two very different solutions. This is why pricing can vary from job to job.
