Why Karrinyup homeowners call Tap Doctor Plumbing & Gas
Our Karrinyup plumbers work the streets between the beach and Reid Highway every week. Here is what locals tell us they care about when they pick up the phone.
A firm price before any work starts
Your plumber looks at the job, explains what’s needed and gives you a firm price. Nothing starts until you agree, and the price you agree is the price you pay.
No call-out fee in business hours
You don’t pay for us to turn up and look. If you decide not to go ahead, you owe nothing during business hours.
We call ahead and arrive on time
We confirm your booking, then call before we arrive so you’re not waiting at home all day. Being on time comes up in our reviews more than anything else.
Licensed plumbers and gasfitters
Every job is done by a WA licensed plumber, and gas work by a licensed gasfitter. Our licence numbers are listed further down this page so you can check them.
Pay when the job is done
Cash, card or Osko bank transfer, collected when the work is finished.
Parts in the van
Our vans carry a wide range of taps, valves, fittings and parts from several manufacturers, so most jobs are finished on the first visit.
Plumbing jobs we see most around Karrinyup
The searches that bring people to this page, and the jobs our Karrinyup plumbers are booked for, follow a clear pattern.
Shower repairs
Showers that drip, won’t turn off or run hot then cold are the most searched job in Karrinyup after a plain plumber. Worn tap seats, tired cartridges and old mixers are the usual causes. We can repair the existing taps or replace them with a new shower mixer.
Gas installation
Many Karrinyup and Carine homes are moving to a gas cooktop, an instant gas hot water unit or a new bayonet for an outdoor heater. Our licensed gasfitters run the new gas line, connect the appliance and test it before we leave.
Hot water repairs and replacements
Before you replace a hot water system, it is worth asking whether it can be repaired. A faulty valve or a service is sometimes all an older unit needs. If it has reached the end of its life, we explain your options for gas, electric, solar and heat pump systems.
Hidden leaks and burst pipes
Unexplained water bills and damp patches are common calls from Gwelup, Trigg and North Beach. We locate the leak, repair the pipe and relay pavers or patch the slab where we can.
Salt air on outdoor fittings
Outdoor taps, hose fittings and hot water units close to the beach can wear faster than those inland, which is common in coastal suburbs. If a garden tap is stiff, dripping or won’t turn off, we replace it with a fitting suited to the spot.

Call 24/7: 1300-655-827What does a plumber cost in Karrinyup?
Plumbing is hard to price over the phone. At best a ballpark price is just a guess, and that’s not good for you or us. So instead of guessing, we send a local licensed Tap Doctor plumber to look at the job before giving you a firm price. There’s no call-out fee during business hours, no obligation, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
No call-out fee in business hours
You only pay for the work you agree to. If you don’t go ahead, there’s nothing to pay during business hours.
Firm price, no surprises
The price is agreed before we start. If we find something unexpected, we stop and talk to you first.
How you can pay
Cash, credit card or debit card, or bank transfer with Osko for an instant payment. Payment is collected when the job is done.

What Karrinyup customers say
★★★★★2,000+ Google reviews
“What I appreciated most was his honesty. Rather than suggesting a complete replacement of the hot water unit, he focused on repairing and servicing the existing system, which is only a few years old.”
“Clinton arrived on time, found the leak, fixed it and tidied up, he asked for a tarp to put the soil on that he took out of the hole. When finished he relayed the slab using a spirit level.”
“Called Tap Doctor after finding a leak in my laundry. Absolutely brilliant service, prompt, quick, friendly, Clinton was an absolute gent.”
“I purchased replacement taps which were defective. Clinton was very happy to try find a solution and come back to finish the work when I had to buy a replacement tap.”
“Clinton was helpful, prompt and professional during the process of replacing our hot water system. The Electrician that was involved was also excellent!”
“Best of all, Clinton cleaned up after himself so well, you’d never know any plumbing work had taken place.”

Plumbers Karrinyup & North Beach FAQs
Can you quote a Karrinyup job over the phone?
We don’t guess prices over the phone, because a guess rarely matches the job. A local licensed plumber comes out, looks at the problem and gives you a firm price before any work starts. There is no call-out fee during business hours and no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee in Karrinyup and North Beach?
Not during business hours. You only pay for work you agree to. After hours, a call-out fee applies and varies with the day, the time and your location.
Are your Karrinyup plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. Every plumber holds a WA plumbing licence, gas work is done by licensed gasfitters, and we are fully insured. Our licence numbers are listed on this page so you can check them.
Do you repair showers in Karrinyup?
Yes. We fix dripping shower taps, showers that won’t turn off, worn cartridges and mixers that run hot and cold. If the old taps are past repair, we can replace them with a new shower mixer, including replumbing the wall where needed.
Can you install a gas cooktop or gas line in Karrinyup?
Yes. Our licensed gasfitters install gas cooktops, ovens, instant gas hot water units, outdoor bayonets and new gas lines. We test the work for leaks before we leave. If you smell gas at any time, turn it off at the meter and call 1300-655-827.
Should I repair or replace my hot water system?
It depends on the age and condition of the unit. A valve, element or service can sometimes get an older system going again. If replacement makes more sense, we explain the options for gas, electric, solar and heat pump systems and give you a firm price for each.
Can you find a leak under a slab or paving?
Yes. We use leak detection to narrow down where the water is escaping, so we only open up what we need to. Once the pipe is repaired, we relay the pavers or patch the slab where we can.
