Plumbing Repairs & Maintenance

Plumbing problems have a habit of getting worse when they’re left alone. A dripping tap might seem minor, but a hidden leak or damaged pipe can quickly lead to water damage and a much bigger repair bill.

Atkinson & Donaldson Plumbing handles plumbing repairs and maintenance for homes and businesses across Rotorua. Whether it’s a straightforward repair or something that needs urgent attention, we’ll find the problem and work out the best way to fix it.

Leak Repairs

Got a leak? Sometimes the source is obvious. Other times, the water turns up a long way from where the actual problem is. We can help with:

  • Major and minor water leaks

  • Leaking or damaged pipework

  • Faulty plumbing fittings

  • Dripping taps and mixers

  • General plumbing issues

If you know water is getting out somewhere but can’t see where it’s coming from, we can also investigate and locate the source.

Plumbing Emergencies

Some plumbing problems simply can't wait. Atkinson & Donaldson offers 24/7 emergency plumbing throughout Rotorua for problems that need urgent attention. If you need help right away, give us a call and we'll do our best to get someone to you as soon as possible. Call-out fees apply to after-hours emergency work.

Re-Piping

Older pipework can become a source of ongoing trouble, particularly when leaks, poor water flow or repeated repairs start becoming the norm. We can replace a damaged section of pipe or carry out more extensive re-piping when needed. Before recommending anything, we’ll assess the condition of the existing plumbing and explain what actually needs replacing.

Water Leak Detection

Hidden leaks can be frustrating. Water may be escaping behind a wall, under a floor or somewhere else within the plumbing system without leaving an obvious clue. Our water leak detection service helps narrow down where the water is coming from so the right repair can be made.

Signs you may have a hidden leak

It may be worth getting things checked if you've noticed:

  • Unexplained water or damp areas

  • The sound of running water when nothing is being used

  • Reduced water pressure

  • Recurring water problems

  • A leak with no obvious source

Taps, Showers & Baths

A faulty tap or leaking shower fitting might not be a major plumbing emergency, but it can still be annoying and waste a surprising amount of water. We repair and service taps, mixers, showers, baths and other everyday plumbing fixtures in bathrooms and kitchens.
