Emergency plumber Sunshine - when you need us most
Plumbing emergencies are the worst. Your pipes decide to burst at 2am, or the toilet backs up right when guests arrive. That's when you need a plumber in Sunshine who actually picks up the phone and knows what they're doing.
We've been fixing plumbing disasters for Sunshine locals for years now. Same day service, honest pricing, and we don't charge you extra just for answering our phone.
Been working in this area long enough to know the drill. Sunshine's got character, that's for sure. Big mix of older homes near the station and newer places heading towards Sunshine West. Each type brings its own plumbing headaches.
The older places have charm, but those original pipes from way back. The newer builds look great until something goes wrong and you realise shortcuts were taken. Either way, we've seen it all before.
We know which streets always have pressure problems. We know where the tree roots love to crash the sewer party. And we definitely know how to work in those tight spaces under older houses without making a mess of your garden.
Burst pipes and water everywhere
Here's something that might surprise you. Burst or blocked pipes cause 46% of water damage insurance claims. That's nearly half of all water damage. So when your pipe decides to explode, you're definitely not alone.
Thing is, every minute counts when water's gushing into your house. We get to Sunshine pretty quick. First priority is stopping the flood, then we figure out what went wrong and fix it properly.
Most times we can patch things up temporarily while we sort out the proper repair. Saves your carpet and gives us time to do the job right instead of rushing.
Blocked drains that won't budge
Drains block. It's what they do. Kitchen sinks get clogged with grease, bathroom drains collect hair, and don't get me started on what people think they can flush down toilets.
But the real troublemakers in Sunshine are those tree roots. Beautiful established gardens mean beautiful established root systems that think your sewer pipe looks like the perfect place to set up shop.
We use cameras to see exactly what's happening down there. No guessing, no digging up your whole yard to find the problem. Once we know what we're dealing with, high pressure water usually sorts it out without damaging anything.
Hot water systems that give up
Nothing ruins a Monday morning like turning on the shower and getting hit with ice cold water. Hot water systems don't usually fail gradually. They just stop working, usually at the worst possible moment.
Good news is we stock the common parts and carry replacement units. Rheem, Dux, Bosch, Rinnai. We work on them all. Sometimes we can fix your existing system, sometimes it makes more sense to upgrade. We'll be straight with you about which makes sense. Licensed for both electric and gas systems, so whatever setup you've got, we can sort it out.
Why we end up being people's go to plumber
This isn't just another job for us. We live and work in Melbourne's west. We understand what it's like trying to get a tradie who shows up on time and doesn't treat your house like a construction site.
Sunshine's got its own personality. 12 km west of Melbourne CBD. It's not the CBD, it's not the fancy eastern suburbs. It's real people in real homes with real plumbing problems.
We know the shortcuts to get around traffic. We know which supply stores are closest when we need parts. And we know how much a plumbing disaster can stress people out, so we try to make the whole experience as painless as possible.
Pricing that makes sense
Nobody likes surprise bills. Before we start any work, you'll know what it's going to cost. No hidden fees, no call out charges that get added on top. The price we quote includes getting there and getting the job done.
For bigger repairs, we'll explain what absolutely has to be fixed now versus what can wait. Not going to pressure you into spending money you don't need to spend.
All our guys hold current Victorian plumbing licences. We carry proper insurance because things can go wrong even when you're being careful.
Gas work and appliance connections
Licensed gas fitters, so we handle the gas side of things too. Gas hot water repairs and installations, connecting your new stove or heater, even outdoor BBQ setups.
Gas work requires proper safety procedures and compliance certificates. We take that seriously because gas leaks are nothing to mess around with.
Get in touch when things go wrong
For emergency repairs, call us now. We answer the phone 24/7 and can usually give you a realistic time for when we'll get there.
Non urgent work can be booked for times that suit you, including evenings and weekends. No charge for quotes and everything we do comes with our workmanship guarantee.
Don't let plumbing problems turn into bigger disasters. Give us a call and let's get things sorted.
What people say about After Hours Plumbing
Nathan was an absolute life saver! Responded and came quickly to a late night job and worked hard to identify and fix the problem! He documented and explained everything that he was doing as well as being super friendly. He did an excellent job and went above and beyond. I can’t recommend him enough!!
Nathan is actually a god send!! He rocked up to our place at 10pm at night, work his butt off then came back to our place at 12pm the next day and continued to work his butt off to get the new pump up and running. He has excellent communication and thoroughly documented everything he did and recommends to ensure this doesn’t happen again. He is my top top top plumber recommendation in the area. If you have any problems he will be there day or night!!
We have used Nathan now for a number of jobs on our properties, and in all cases (especially those emergency call outs) Nathan was prompt, professional and always on top of what was required to get the job done. He is also very knowledgeable on spotting issues that may come up later down the track and ensuring you are aware of any potential problems and how to look out for them. Highly recommended for all your plumbing needs
Nathan from After Hours Plumbing is excellent. I have used him both privately and also engaged him as recommended plumber to all our landlords. He is efficient, professional and prompt at attending.
Twice we had Nath Schofield to do our projects. One to fit an outdoor sink for my outdor kitchen and next to fix the irrigation system for our garden. He did an amazing job and I highly recommend his services to anyone. He is very professional, knowledgeable and you will be very happy & contented with his neat work.
Nathan installed new shower heads and faucets in my two bathrooms. He was so quick and the work was done skilfully. Couldn’t be happier with the work and wouldn’t hesitate to call him again for any plumbing jobs I might need in the future
I am so happy with their response. Without a second thought, Nathan helped me do the gas leak check myself, referred me to the right people, and helped me sort it out. Thanks very much for your response.
Nathan from after hours plumbing was great! Communicated well, arrived on time and did a fabulous job. I've found my new plumber 😃
I am very happy with Nathan’s quality work and his service. He was incredibly prompt, arriving shortly after I reached out about a pipe leakage issue in my house. His customer service was top-notch, he kept me informed every step of the way, explaining the process and ensuring I understood what needed to be done. Not only did he fix the pipe leakage with diligence and great attention to quality, but he also helped me with my kitchen tap while he was here and resolved it on the spot! Additionally, he provided me with a reasonable quote for replacing my aging hot water system, which I’ll definitely consider in the near future. I highly recommend Nathan for anyone looking for professional, reliable, reasonable and efficient plumbing services. Great work Nathan!
We have no hesitation in recommending Nathan. His work was thorough, professional and meticulous. He clearly takes great pride in his work. Our 24 year old hot water service died and Nathan was able to replace it the next day. He arranged purchase and delivery of the new heater and removal of the old hot water service. He is an excellent communicator and kept us in the loop re: arrival time etc. Thanks Nathan, Peter and Yvonne.

As a property manager, I would only recommend Nathan from After Hours Plumbing, & for my own home as well. We always receive detailed explanations of the issues we send work for, and get unprompted praise from our renters after he has left. Good results and fair pricing always!
We had a backyard leak in our irrigation piping on a Saturday late afternoon. Nathan replied less than a minute after I texted him and arrived at 7:30 the next morning to fix our issue, so we had to go only one night without water. So happy with our service.
