Can’t recommend Plumbwell highly enough. Locky was extremely professional and did a fantastic job. He took the time to explain what was happening and made the whole process really easy. Will definitely be using them again.

Krista

August 2026

Our strata building had ongoing leaks and we’d had plumbers attend who couldn’t identify the root cause. The Plumbwell team were thorough, polite and professional from start to finish. They found the source of the problem and fixed it quickly.

Helenne Jackson

August 2026

Lachlan and Caleb did an amazing job — sourcing our worrisome gas leak and then sorting it out in record time. Such a weight off my mind. Very communicative about the process and cleaned up more than what was required while they were there. 100% would recommend!

Robert Ambrogio

Great service! The team came exactly on time, was highly efficient, and provided friendly service from start to finish. I especially appreciated that they thoroughly cleaned up after they left. I would highly recommend using Plumbwell Plumbing Services for any plumbing or water issues!

Van Huy Nguyen

Great experience from start to finish. The plumbers handled my kitchen and bathroom renovation professionally and delivered high quality work. They showed up on time, communicated clearly, and kept everything clean and organised throughout the job. Their workmanship is excellent — everything was installed properly, no leaks, no issues, and the final result looks clean and well finished. Pricing was fair and transparent. No surprises. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone doing a renovation.

Phoebe Millward

Had a leak in my utility room and Mason came out to fix it — honestly such a good experience. He arrived on time, quickly worked out what was causing the issue, and got it sorted without any drama. He explained everything clearly and made sure I was happy before leaving. He also left the space clean and tidy, which I really appreciated. Really reliable and easy to deal with. I’d definitely use the company again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

My experience with Plumbwell — I think they are the best plumbing service in Sydney. The job was done and 2 months later I called them back and they said they would come back and resolve the issue free of charge, as the issue was to do with toilet paper not tree roots. Led by the exceptional plumber Patrick. Him and his team I would highly recommend. 5 out of 5.

Ashleigh Bowring

August 2026

Plumbwell provided exceptional service when we had an emergency plumbing situation. We rang in the morning regarding a leak coming from our hot water system and within 30 minutes, help had arrived. Patrick quickly diagnosed the issue and provided clear direction on next steps and pricing. The whole experience was extremely professional and I felt like I was in very good hands. I couldn’t recommend their services more!

Julie Lawrence

August 2026

Jed was great at explaining our plumbing issue in laymen’s terms, on time, did a great job, neat cuts in the cabinet shelf, and cleaned up after finishing the job. Our replacement mixer tap supplied by Plumbwell looks great and good quality. Jed was also respectful of our space and pets. Will use Plumbwell again.

Elena Tauriello

I am always reluctant when finding a reliable company for any of my plumbing repairs but Plumbwell were fantastic! From a huge blocked toilet issue to installing a hot water system they were professional, reasonably priced and meticulous with their work. Tony was a huge standout with answering all my questions. Thanks, boys!

Caitlin Roach

Caleb greatly assisted in fixing my hot water system in a timely manner. He was prompt and arrived with a friendly presence. I would definitely recommend Caleb and his strong work ethic to any family and friends. Plumbwell Plumbing is reasonably priced and provide great services.

Plumbwell were awesome! Caleb and Tony were really knowledgeable and professional.

Dominic Mooney

July 2026

Caleb, Jed and the team were great and fixed my issues very quickly and efficiently. They were able to come out within a couple of days of the original enquiry and got everything done. We even added a couple more jobs in while they were here, which they were able to accommodate.

Andrew Fox

July 2026

Really appreciate the work Patrick and Sam did. Hot water system required replacing, along with a leaky toilet and kitchen sink tap that needed attention. The short turnaround from initial call, to Patrick inspecting the jobs, to the sourcing of parts, to the jobs being completed, was very impressive. The team were respectful, timely and consulted at every step of the process. Their quality of work and professionalism are of a high standard. Thank you — I would recommend the Plumbwell team without hesitation.

Kylie Salisbury

I highly recommend Sam from Plumbwell Plumbing. He arrived to fix my non-functional shower within about two hours of my initial enquiry. He did a great job, and was friendly, efficient and extremely helpful throughout the process. Additionally, his pricing was very fair and reasonable. I’ll definitely be calling Plumbwell next time I need a plumber. Thanks heaps, Sam.
