A dripping tap. A blocked drain. A burst pipe. A running toilet that never stops. Plumbing problems always seem to happen at the worst possible time. When they do, you need a local plumber who picks up the phone, shows up when they say they will, and fixes the problem properly the first time. That is exactly what A1 Plumbing and Gas Solutions delivers.

No job too small. No problem too big.

Maintenance and repair work is the bread and butter of a good plumbing business. From small annoying issues like a dripping tap or a slow drain, to more urgent problems like a burst pipe or complete blockage, A1 Plumbing and Gas Solutions handles the full range of everyday plumbing repairs across the Coffs Coast with the same quality and care we bring to every job.

Leaking Taps and Pipes

A dripping tap is not just annoying. Over time it wastes thousands of litres of water and adds up on your water bill. A leaking pipe inside a wall or under a slab can cause serious damage if left unattended. We locate the source and fix it properly, not just mask the symptom.

Blocked Drains and Toilets

Slow drains, gurgling pipes, or a toilet that will not flush properly are all signs of a blockage somewhere in your system. We clear blocked drains and toilets using the right equipment for the job, from simple hand-rodding through to electric eel for stubborn or recurring blockages.

Burst Pipes

A burst pipe can cause serious water damage to your home in a very short time. If you have water appearing where it should not be, or your water meter is running when all taps are off, call Adam immediately. We locate and repair burst pipes quickly to minimise damage and get your water supply restored.

Low Water Pressure

Frustrating shower pressure or slow-filling basins can be caused by a number of issues including blocked aerators, failing pressure limiting valves, corroded pipes, or problems with your water meter assembly. We diagnose the cause accurately and restore your pressure to where it should be.

Running Toilets

A toilet that runs continuously or refills unprompted is wasting water and money around the clock. The fix is usually straightforward. A worn flapper valve, faulty fill valve, or damaged cistern seal can all cause this problem. We fix it quickly and correctly so it does not come back.

Tap and Fixture Replacements

Old or failing taps, shower heads, mixers, and fittings can be replaced with quality products that look better, perform better, and last longer. Whether it is a single kitchen tap or a complete bathroom fixture upgrade, we supply and install quality tapware and fittings at competitive prices.

A1 Plumbing and Gas Solutions handles the complete range of residential and light commercial plumbing maintenance and repair work. Here is a more complete picture of what we take care of across the Coffs Coast.

Leak Detection and Repair

Visible and concealed leaks located and repaired. We use pressure testing and inspection to track down leaks that are hidden in walls, under floors, or underground before they cause serious damage.

Drain Clearing and Cleaning

Hand rodding, electric eel , and drain inspection for all types of blocked drains. Kitchen, bathroom, stormwater, and sewer lines cleared and flowing freely.

Tap and Valve Repairs

Washer replacements, ceramic disc cartridges, mixer tap overhauls, stopcock replacements, and pressure limiting valve servicing. All types and brands of tapware repaired or replaced.

Shower and Bath Repairs

Leaking shower roses, faulty mixer valves, blocked shower wastes, and shower screen resealing. We also refit bath spouts, overflow assemblies, and waste traps of all types.

Toilet Repairs and Replacements

Cistern repairs, flush valve and fill valve replacements, toilet pan replacements, and full toilet suite swaps. We handle all toilet brands and installation types including close coupled and back-to-wall suites.

Kitchen and Laundry Plumbing

Sink repairs and replacements, waste disposal connections, dishwasher plumbing, washing machine connections, and laundry tub installations. Everything in the kitchen and laundry kept in perfect working order.

Stormwater and Drainage

Blocked or damaged roof downpipes, overflowing stormwater pits, damaged drainage lines, and ponding water around the home. We diagnose and fix stormwater issues before they cause structural damage.

Hot Water System Repairs

Pressure relief valve replacements, anode rod replacements to extend tank life, thermostat repairs, and general hot water system servicing to keep your system running safely and efficiently.

The way a maintenance job should be handled. 

Diagnose First

We find the real cause of the problem, not just the visible symptom. Treating symptoms without fixing the cause just means the problem comes back.

Explain Before We Start

We tell you what is wrong and what the fix involves before we begin. If the cost or scope changes during the job, we discuss it with you first.

Fix It Properly

We use quality parts and correct technique. A repair that lasts is better value for everyone than a cheap fix that fails again in six months.

Leave It Tidy

We respect your home. We clean up after ourselves and leave every work area the way we found it, or better. Always.

Follow Up

We check in after maintenance and repair work to make sure everything is still performing as expected. If something is not right, we come back and make it right.

Simple Ways to Look After Your Plumbing

Good habits that save money and avoid headaches.

The best plumbing maintenance is the kind that prevents problems before they start. Here are some simple things every homeowner can do to extend the life of their plumbing and avoid nasty surprises.

Tip 1: Know Where Your Water Meter Is

If you have a plumbing emergency, being able to turn off your water quickly can save thousands in damage. Find your meter now, before you ever need it.

Tip 2: Never Flush Wipes or Grease

Even wipes labelled “flushable” cause blockages. Cooking grease solidifies in your pipes. Keep both out of your drains entirely to avoid costly clearing jobs.

Tip 3: Watch Your Water Meter

Turn off all taps and appliances and check if your water meter is still moving. If it is, you have a leak somewhere. Catching it early saves water and money.

Tip 4: Do Not Over Tighten Taps

Cranking taps off hard wears out washers much faster. Turn taps off firmly but gently and you will get much longer life from the internal components.

Tip 5: Service Your Hot Water System

An annual check of your hot water system’s pressure relief valve and periodic anode rod replacement can double the life of your system and avoid a costly early replacement.

Tip 6: Clear Your Roof Gutters

Blocked gutters cause water to back up and overflow into your walls and foundations. Clean gutters twice a year in the Coffs region, especially after autumn leaf fall.
