Leaks & drips
Tap drips, joint leaks, slow seepage under sinks or behind walls. Found early, most are a small job.
Same-day where possible
Wellington & Hutt Valley
Your local plumber, on speed-dial.
Drips, leaks, blockages, bursts — and the slow-burn issues you'd rather not put up with anymore. ZBF handles the everyday plumbing across Wellington.
What We Fix
The usual plumbing problems.
Six categories cover most of what comes up. If you're not sure where your job fits, just ask — if it's plumbing, Zac can usually sort it.
Toilet repairs & replacements
Running cisterns, weak flushes, wax-seal failures, full pan replacements — all common, all routine.
Burst pipes & urgent callouts
If something's let go and water is going where it shouldn't, call straight away. Same-day where possible.
Sink, shower & laundry blockages
Slow drains and full blockages cleared. For deeper drainage work outside the house, see drainlaying.
Tap & mixer replacements
New tapware in kitchen, bathroom or laundry. Cartridge swaps, washers, weak pressure diagnostics.
Pipework repairs & re-piping
Patching, modifications, and full re-pipes when older runs are past their use-by. Copper and modern alternatives.
Garden taps, outside lines, valves, pressure-relief checks, maintenance sign-offs — if it's plumbing, just ask.

Why ZBF for Maintenance
What every job includes.
Same plumber, every time.
When you call, it's Zac. He learns your home over time, so the second visit is quicker than the first.
Three trades, one visit.
Plumbing, gas and drainage all under one set of qualifications — no waiting for a second tradesperson.
Honest diagnosis.
If it's a small fix, it's a small fix. Zac diagnoses the actual problem rather than defaulting to a full replacement.
Same-day where possible.
Urgent jobs jump the queue. For non-urgent work, you'll usually have a slot within the week.
