Plumbing Services
Wellington, Lower Hutt,
Upper Hutt & Porirua
When the hot water cuts out mid-shower or your kitchen tap starts leaking at the worst possible time, you want a plumber who turns up promptly and knows exactly what they’re doing. At Harbour City Plumbing, we deliver professional, no-nonsense plumbing services across Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, and Porirua for both residential and commercial properties.
From surprise leaks to planned upgrades, our licensed Master Plumbers bring the skills, tools, and experience to handle the job with ease. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, we offer same-day appointments, 24/7 emergency callouts, and a level of service that’s as reliable as it is efficient. If water runs through it, we can repair, install, or optimise it.
Our Full Range of Plumbing Services
At Harbour City Plumbing, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every home and business has its quirks, and we’re here to provide plumbing solutions that suit your setup, budget, and schedule. From the everyday fixes to full-blown projects, here’s what we do best:
General Plumbing Fixes
From leaky taps and low water pressure to burst pipes and appliance installations, our general plumbing service covers all the everyday problems that need fixing properly the first time. We work with homes of every age and style, ensuring your systems are running efficiently and to code.
Bathroom Renovations & Builds Services
We provide full plumbing services for bathroom upgrades, new layouts, and complete fit-outs in both residential and commercial settings. Whether you're refreshing an ensuite or building a brand-new bathroom from the ground up, we take care of all pipework, drainage, and fixture connections. Our team works in sync with your builder or designer to make sure everything functions flawlessly and looks just as good.
Hot Water Cylinder Services
If your hot water has gone cold or can’t keep up, we offer full installation, maintenance, and replacement services for electric, mains pressure, and low-pressure hot water cylinders. We’ll assess your current setup and recommend the most suitable system for your household or business. Our work is efficient, tidy, and always completed to the latest safety and energy standards.
Gasfitting Services
Our certified gasfitters install, maintain, and replace gas hot water units, cooktops, heaters, and outdoor appliances with precision and full compliance. Whether you’re converting to gas or upgrading an old system, we ensure everything is installed safely and signed off properly. You’ll get performance, peace of mind, and a system that runs exactly as it should.
Drainlaying Services
We design and install new stormwater and wastewater drainage systems for new builds, renovations, and extensions, taking care of both the groundwork and the paperwork. Our licensed drainlayers ensure systems are fully compliant with NZ building standards and tailored to your site’s layout. From pipework to council sign-off, we handle the lot.
Drain Unblocking Services
Blocked sink, shower, or toilet ruining your day? We provide fast, effective drain unblocking using the right gear for the job: whether that’s plunging, cabling, or hydro-jetting. Our team doesn’t just clear the blockage; we’ll also check for any underlying issues to help prevent future callouts.
Emergency Plumbing Services
Burst pipe at 2 am? Toilet flooding on a public holiday? No problem. Our emergency plumbing service is available 24/7 across the Wellington region, with rapid response times and fully stocked vehicles ready to fix the issue on the spot. When things go wrong after hours, we’re the team you can actually count on to show up.
