A small plumbing problem today can become an expensive repair tomorrow
A burst pipe or hidden leak can flood a home quickly, soaking floors, walls and belongings. Left unchecked, the water spreads into cavities, driving up repair bills and risking structural damage and mould. The good news is that most of it is fixable.
Peter Jackson Plumbing has certified master plumbers on call 24/7 across the Kapiti Coast. They isolate the supply first, then locate and repair the fault before the damage grows.
From leaking taps and blocked toilets to burst pipes and full home renovations, we handle day-to-day plumbing across the region, backed by the Master Guarantee. To sort out an emergency before it worsens, get in touch via the Contact page.

Fixing a leaking tap and stopping the drip
A tap keeps dripping when the washer, O-ring or valve seat has not been replaced correctly, or the tap body is worn beyond repair. Rather than swap one part and hope for the best, we check the internal components, fit genuine spares and test the water pressure to confirm the drip has stopped.
Replacing taps, washers and hose taps is routine work for us, using brands such as Methven, Felton and Grohe. Where a tap sits over a worn basin or vanity that is due for updating, related work may involve bathroom renovations.

Toilet repairs handled on the first visit
Running cisterns, weak flushes, leaking seals, faulty inlet valves and blockages cover most toilet faults in a Kapiti Coast home. We diagnose the problem first, then replace worn parts or clear the blockage.
Our vans carry frequently used spares, so common issues are sorted on the initial visit and a second trip is often avoided. A toilet that blocks repeatedly can point to a problem further down the line rather than in the pan itself, which is where our blocked drains investigation uses a CCTV camera to view inside the pipe.

Burst pipe repairs and 24-hour callouts
A burst pipe is urgent because water spreads quickly through floors, ceilings and wall cavities. On a callout, we isolate the supply, then locate and repair the fault. Our vans carry common fittings, so most bursts are fixed on the same visit.
Emergency plumbing runs 24/7 across the Kapiti Coast, with after-hours callouts carrying a surcharge quoted at the time. Some older Paraparaumu homes still have Dux Quest pipe from the late 1970s and early 1980s, which splits with age.
Fixing one leak rarely helps when the rest is likely to fail too, so a full repipe is often sounder.

Replacing old Dux Quest pipe and fittings
Some existing homes fitted with Dux Quest pipe and fittings are discovering the product is failing (splitting and breaking due to the chlorine in the water).
These pipes were predominantly used in the late 70s and early 80s and are recognised by their black colour with white lettering. Sometimes the pipes may have been painted to disguise them.
Peter Jackson Plumbing is experienced in dealing with these old pipes. In most cases simply fixing one leak as it appears is not cost-effective as the rest of the pipework will likely also break over time.
Instead we can replace the old Dux Quest pipe and fittings with Secura Polybutene Pipe and Brass fittings. When completed we will give a written manufacturers guarantee of 25 years against defects from manufacturing.

Burst pipe callouts are prioritised as urgent, especially where flooding or property damage is a risk. On arrival, we isolate the supply, then locate and repair the fault. Our vans carry common parts, so most bursts are fixed on the same visit.
A tap usually keeps dripping because the washer, O-ring or valve seat was not replaced correctly, or the tap itself is worn out. We check the internal components, fit genuine spares and test the water pressure to confirm the drip has stopped for good.
Most toilet repairs are covered, including running cisterns, weak flushes, leaking seals, faulty inlet valves and blockages. We diagnose the fault first, then replace worn parts or clear the blockage.
Common issues are sorted on the first visit where the needed parts are on the van.
A yearly plumbing service helps catch small problems before they become costly repairs. During a visit, we check taps, toilets, pipes, water pressure and the hot water system for leaks, corrosion and wear, so faults are spotted early rather than after damage occurs.
Eco plumbing lowers water and power use, which reduces bills over time. Greywater systems, rainwater tanks, solar hot water and heat pump cylinders all cut waste and reliance on mains supply.
The right system depends on household size, budget and water usage, which can be discussed during planning.
