Hot water repairs and replacement in Botany
Cold shower, a leaking tank or rusty-looking hot water? We repair and replace electric, gas, continuous flow and heat pump hot water systems in Botany homes, from the older cottages, semis and terraces to the newer townhouses. We're based next door in Matraville, and you get clear options and a fixed price before any work starts.
Hot water in Botany's older homes
Botany's cottages, semis and terraces often have the hot water system in a narrow side passage, a small laundry or a back lean-to, where space and access are tight. Many are electric or gas storage tanks that are past their best. Old galvanised pipes feeding the tank can rust from the inside, which shows up as discoloured hot water and low pressure at the taps. When we replace a system, we fit it to current standards and replace tired pipework around it where needed.
Hot water in newer townhouses
Newer Botany townhouses usually have gas continuous flow units or compact electric tanks. These need different fault-finding, and continuous flow repairs need a licensed gasfitter. We repair what's worth repairing and replace what isn't.
Problems we fix
No hot water
Element, thermostat, pilot and ignition faults found and fixed.
Rusty hot water
A worn anode or ageing tank, or rust from galvanised pipes. We find which one.
Leaking tank or valve
Valves replaced. A leaking tank body means replacement, usually the same day.
Tight spaces
Slimline and compact systems for narrow passages and small laundries.
Thinking of upgrading?
A heat pump can cut hot water running costs. See our heat pump guide, or our water pressure guide if low pressure is the problem.

Common questions
Why is my hot water brown or rusty?
It can be a worn anode in the tank, a tank that's corroding, or rust from old galvanised pipes. We test to find which, so you only fix what's needed.
Can you fit a hot water system in a narrow side passage?
Yes. Slimline tanks and wall-mounted continuous flow units suit tight spaces.
Do you charge to quote in Botany?
No. We come out, look at your system and quote on site for free.
Do you take the old unit away?
Yes. Removal and disposal is part of the replacement.
