Cold water from the hot tap in your Newstead apartment? We complete hot water repairs in Newstead the same day, and same-day replacements when the system is beyond fixing, for owners, tenants and building managers alike.
Available right now. Upfront pricing from a trusted local team. Electric, gas, heat pump, solar and continuous-flow systems.
Newstead is almost entirely apartments, and Lewis and the team handle same-day hot water repairs and replacements in individual apartment systems across the suburb. Everything else we do is on our hot water services page.
Apartment Electric Tanks
Electric storage tanks in laundries and cupboards, including Rheem models. We replace elements, thermostats and valves and fix leaks.
Continuous Flow
Gas continuous-flow units such as Rinnai that show error codes, won’t fire or run cold. Gas work falls under our licensed gas fitting.
Heat Pump
Heat pumps that run without heating, or keep tripping off, get a full check of unit, tank and valves.
Solar
Solar hot water that’s under-performing gets the collectors, tank, valves and booster checked.

Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair
Signs your apartment system needs a plumber:
Hot water fades to cold partway through a shower
Water never gets hotter than tepid
Water on the laundry or cupboard floor near the system
The relief valve drain running constantly
Error codes or repeated shutdowns on a gas unit
Murky or rusty hot water
Banging or whistling from the unit
A leak inside an apartment can reach the units below, so turn off the system’s cold water valve if it’s safe and tell your building manager.
We diagnose the fault, check the space and connections, and give you an upfront price to repair or replace, so the owner can decide.
Go with a repair when
A replaceable part has failed
The tank or unit is otherwise in good order
Go with a replacement when
The tank is leaking or corroded
The unit fails repeatedly or is no longer worth repairing
Same-Day Apartment Replacement
If your apartment’s system has failed, we replace it the same day.
Two-bedroom apartments are the most common in Newstead, so we size the replacement for the household and the space it has to fit, and we keep the owner or property manager informed throughout.

Hot Water in Newstead’s Apartment Buildings
Riverside apartments. Newstead’s old industrial riverfront was redeveloped with apartments and townhouses from 2001, and by 2021 more than 99% of occupied dwellings were apartments. About 57% had two bedrooms.
Central or individual? Some buildings run a central hot water system managed by the body corporate, while others give each apartment its own unit. When neighbours are cold as well, report it to the building manager. When the problem is yours alone, we can help.
Owners, tenants and managers. Renters occupied around 69% of Newstead dwellings in 2021. We work with property managers, owners and body corporates and give whoever approves the job a clear report and price.
Our Apartment Hot Water Process
1. Access and Test
We arrange access with you or the building, then test the system and its supply.
2. Price for Approval
An upfront price goes to the person approving the work, and we start once they say yes.
3. Work and Check
We repair or replace the system, check the temperature and confirm there are no leaks.
No Hot Water? While You Wait
Shut the cold water valve to a leaking system if you can do so safely.
Tell the building manager about any leak that could affect neighbours.
Smell gas? Turn the unit’s gas off if safe, ventilate and leave the room.
Yes. A repair or a full changeover in a Newstead apartment happens on the day you call. Call 0435 878 512.
How do I know if my building has central hot water?
Ask your building manager, or check whether there’s a hot water system inside your apartment. If there isn’t one, the building probably has a shared system.
Can you work around body corporate rules?
Yes. We work with building managers and body corporates on access and approvals before starting.
Do you offer 24/7 service?
Yes. We offer 24/7 service. Call us any time your hot water fails.
