A real person answers, day or night
When a tired old tank keeps leaking, replacement is the honest fix here
A slow rusty drip today becomes a ceiling stain tomorrow, so once a cylinder corrodes from the inside we would rather size and fit a fresh one than keep chasing leaks. Call (02) 9072 0502.
Why so many tanks reach end of life on these streets
Pre-war stock, pre-war laundries
Low salt, slow rust, sudden flood
What a replacement covers
Every replacement we quote covers the full swap, from the hour the dead unit comes out to the moment the hot tap runs again, sized to the actual household and left compliant with the certificate in hand:
Right-sizing the unit
Because a family in a four-bedroom Firth Street semi draws far more than a couple in a station-side flat, we measure real daily demand first, then match cylinder capacity or flow rate so nobody in the house runs cold mid-shower.
Type reset options
Rather than blindly refit whatever failed, a changeover is the sensible moment to weigh gas against electric against continuous flow, matching the fuel already at the property to the way your household actually draws hot water through a single day.
Clean compliant install
Old brackets, perished valves and undersized relief lines all get renewed as part of the price, not billed later, and the tempering valve is set correctly so the finished unit fully meets current Australian standards on the day we leave.
Old unit removed
Once the new system is tested and running warm at every outlet, the corroded cylinder, its tray and any redundant pipework travel out on the van, leaving the laundry or eave cupboard tidier than the failed tank ever left it.
A different laundry on every block
Houses hide their tanks
Apartments run to the millimetre
Problems that push a tank past a fix
Rust in the water
When hot taps run discoloured or gritty in a house near Belmore Street, the sacrificial anode has long been gone and the steel tank is rusting through, a stage where patch repairs no longer hold and only a fresh cylinder lasts.
Relief valve weeping
A pressure-relief valve that keeps dribbling is often masking a tank straining against its own scale and corrosion, and while the valve itself is minor the cylinder fatigue it signals means a properly sized replacement spares you a second callout.
Pilot that won't hold
An older gas storage heater whose pilot refuses to stay lit despite a fresh thermocouple is usually telling you the burner and flue have worn out, and on a unit past its warranty a clean swap beats nursing a tired shell.
Why replacing beats nursing it along
A failing tank rarely fails politely, and a planned swap almost always costs less grief than an emergency one:
Ceilings and floors stay dry
You stop paying to reheat rust
No cold Monday scramble
How it works
How the job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Swap done cleanly
We isolate the water and fuel, drain and lift out the dead cylinder, set the new unit level on fresh valves and tempering gear, then run every hot outlet until it proves warm and leak-free.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Arncliffe
These four promises are where a replacement quietly earns its keep.
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Arncliffe works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Alongside replacements at home, we swap out failed units across Wolli Creek, Banksia, Rockdale, Turrella and Kogarah, carrying both storage and continuous-flow stock so a same-day changeover stays realistic wherever the tired old tank happens to sit.
Good questions, straight answers
Replacement questions Arncliffe locals ask
How soon can you replace a dead hot water system?
Most straightforward same-for-same swaps are finished the same day you call, because our stocked vans carry the common storage and continuous-flow units along with the valves that suit older local homes.
Will you take the old tank away?
Yes, the old cylinder, its brackets and any redundant valves all leave with us at the end of the job, and the compliance paperwork for your new unit arrives with the invoice.
Do I have to replace with the same type of system?
No, a changeover is the natural moment to reconsider, so we talk through gas, electric and continuous flow against your real household size before anything is ordered, fitted or paid for.
What does a replacement near the station cost to run afterwards?
Running cost depends on the type of system you choose rather than the fitting itself, which is exactly why we size every unit to real daily demand instead of overselling capacity.
Is a plumbing licence needed just to change a hot water unit?
Yes, a hot water changeover is licensed plumbing work, and every job here is completed under licence #275278C with the compliance certificate that protects your home's paperwork trail for good.
What if my old unit fails on a weekend?
We answer the phone and attend on weekends and public holidays at the same fixed pricing, with no overtime loading at all, so a Saturday failure is sorted like any weekday.
