Most plumbing jobs aren't emergencies — they're the small problems that slowly get worse. A tap that drips, a toilet that keeps running, or a pipe that bangs every time the washing machine fills. Fixing them early usually costs less and saves water.
A4plumbing carries out general plumbing repairs for homes and small businesses around Banora Point, Tweed Heads and nearby suburbs. We explain what's wrong in plain language and give you the options before we start.

- Dripping or hard-to-turn taps
- Running or slow-filling toilets
- Water hammer (banging pipes)
- Low water pressure at one or more fixtures

What affects the cost?
Every job is different, so we don't publish fixed prices. We'll explain the costs before work begins. Factors include:
- Type and age of the fixture
- Access to the pipework
- Whether parts are standard or need ordering
- Number of jobs completed in the same visit
Prevention and maintenance tips
- Don't overtighten taps — it wears washers and cartridges
- Check under sinks every few months for moisture
- Fix small drips early before they damage seats and valves
Questions customers ask
Can you do several small jobs in one visit?
Yes. Listing everything when you book helps us plan time and bring the right parts, which is usually more economical.
Why is my water pressure low?
Common causes include a partially closed stop tap, a blocked aerator, a failing pressure-limiting valve or corroded pipes. We'll test and pinpoint the cause.
