This popular coastal suburb is packed with character homes from the 1980s and 1990s, many of which have been renovated or extended over the years. That means mixed plumbing systems - original copper and galvanised pipe connected to newer fittings, aging hot water units sitting next to modern tapware. Add in the corrosive effects of the ocean breeze and you have a suburb that keeps plumbers busy. Our team knows these challenges inside out and brings practical solutions to every job, whether it is a quick tap repair or a full re-pipe of an older property.

Read moreHillarys is one of Perth's most sought-after coastal suburbs, and for good reason. The proximity to the ocean, Hillarys Boat Harbour, and some of the best beaches in the northern corridor makes it a fantastic place to live. But that coastal lifestyle brings specific plumbing considerations. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on exposed copper pipes, outdoor fixtures, and hot water system components. Homes closer to the water often need replacements sooner than inland properties.
Most Hillarys homes were built during the 1980s and 1990s, and many have undergone significant renovations since. We frequently work on properties along Flinders Avenue, Whitfords Avenue, and in the streets surrounding Hillarys Beach Park. Common issues include corroded valves and mixer taps, aging clay sewer lines that have shifted in the sandy soil, and gutters that rust faster due to the salt exposure.
The Hillarys Boat Harbour precinct also has commercial plumbing needs that we service, from restaurant kitchens to retail washrooms. Whether it is a residential repair or a commercial fit-out, Tap Tech brings the same level of care and professionalism to every Hillarys job.

Really happy with the work! Super friendly, showed up on time, and got everything sorted without any fuss. The job was done quickly and properly, and the price was fair too. Would definitely call them again if we need a plumber.
Brilliant service! Called them to fix a water leak from main and they were there in 20 minutes. Would definitely use them again with Caiden providing excellent service and at a reasonable price. Thanks Caiden.
Urgently needed a plumber to fix a leak in my roof with water coming in the house. Despite being a very busy period, Caiden from Tap Tech shuffled around a couple of other bookings and managed to get to me that same day. Identified the problem quickly and charged a fair price.
I called Tap Tech after I was having issues with my hot water heater. Very easy to talk to. Caiden came and swapped it out and I'm very happy with his work!!
Yes, it does. Properties within a few hundred metres of the coast experience accelerated corrosion on copper pipes, outdoor taps, and hot water system fittings. We see this regularly in Hillarys, particularly in homes closer to the Boat Harbour and along the beachfront streets. We recommend annual inspections for coastal properties and use marine-grade or brass fittings wherever possible to extend the life of your plumbing.
We handle the plumbing side of bathroom renovations regularly in Hillarys. Many homes here from the 1980s and 1990s are getting updated bathrooms, and that often means relocating water points, upgrading drainage, replacing old galvanised supply lines, and installing new fixtures. We work alongside your builder or tiler to make sure the plumbing is done correctly and to code before the walls go back up.
Yes. We work with restaurants, cafes, and retail businesses in the Hillarys Boat Harbour precinct. Commercial plumbing needs are different from residential - grease traps, high-flow drainage, commercial dishwasher connections, and backflow prevention all need specialist attention. We hold the licences required for commercial work and can schedule visits around your trading hours to minimise disruption.
For Hillarys, we typically recommend stainless steel or coated tank systems that resist salt corrosion better than standard models. Continuous flow gas systems from Rinnai or Rheem are popular here because they have smaller external units with less surface area exposed to the elements. If your current system is outdoors and showing signs of rust, it is worth getting it assessed sooner rather than waiting for a complete failure.
Gutter corrosion is a common problem in Hillarys and Sorrento due to salt spray. We replace rusted gutters and downpipes with Colorbond or Zincalume options that hold up much better in coastal conditions. We also check the fascia boards for water damage while we are up there, as rotting fascia behind rusted gutters is something we see frequently in this area.
If your home is over 25 years old, you notice damp patches on walls or ceilings, your water bill has increased without explanation, or your drains are running slower than usual, it is time for a check. We offer full plumbing inspections including CCTV drain surveys for Hillarys properties. Given the age of most homes here and the coastal conditions, catching a small issue early can save thousands in repairs down the track.
