I had a great experience with Tap Tech Plumbing and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Caiden was honest from the first phone call, letting me know my leak wasn’t an emergency and suggesting I book during the week rather... read more than paying unnecessary Sunday call-out fees, which I really appreciated. Nay attended to fix said leak in our en-suite, completed a thorough plumbing inspection, replaced a few ageing components, and at a later date returned to install a water filter, clear a blocked drain and gutter, and complete a few smaller jobs. Throughout the process, I was shown and provided with quotes before any additional work was carried out, so I never felt pressured. Although the second booking ran a few hours late due to an earlier job, communication was excellent. I received proactive text updates with revised arrival times, and Caiden directly contacted me in advance to explain the delay and check times still suited me before coming out himself to get started while Nay was held up. Based on previous experiences with trades, that level of communication really stood out. Professional, transparent and very friendly to deal with from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Strongly recommend Caiden and the team at Tap Tech! We recently paid $400 for a "call out/investigation" fee from another plumber, only to receive an exorbitant quote for the work. After asking Caiden for a second opinion, he confirmed it only needed... read more a small repair... He was completely honest about it and even mentioned some of the work didn't strictly need to be done.Greatly appreciate that level of upfront, no-nonsense advice. Communication was great throughout and the team is very reliable. I've used Tap Tech before and referred them to others too, so this was definitely an expensive lesson learned - we should've called Caiden first!

Such a clean job and no mess left behind! I was pleased and relieved to find a local plumber who didn't charge a callout fee and who was able to assess the situation via photos sent to them. Caiden was very helpful with researching product options and solutions and was upfront about costs and benefits. I will definitely be using their services in future and highly recommend them for plumbing issues in the Victoria Park area. You guys are the best!
