Tasman Plumbers is a long-established plumbing, gasfitting, drainlaying and roofing company based at 192a Tasman Street in Mount Cook, serving homes and businesses across the Wellington region. Led by Scott and his team of master plumbers, the business has been solving Wellington's plumbing problems since 1971 — more than five decades of experience that shows in everything from a simple leaking tap to a complete bathroom renovation.
The company's services cover the full life of a property: general plumbing installations, leaking tap repairs and ongoing maintenance; certified gasfitting covering the installation, repair and maintenance of gas systems; drainlaying and drainage work including new installations and repairs; and hot water heating, spanning gas, electric and continuous flow systems along with energy-efficient hot water heat pumps. Bathroom renovation plumbing and roofing — repairs, ongoing maintenance and new roof installations — round out the offering.
Tasman Plumbers is a member of Master Plumbers, Gasfitters & Drainlayers and of Sitesafe, and stands behind its work with a two year warranty on all workmanship. Customers consistently highlight the same qualities: punctuality, clear communication, upfront information about normal charges, and tidy, high-quality finishes. Whether the job is minor or large-scale, the team is known for spotting potential issues before they become major problems.
For more than fifty years — since 1971, to be precise — Tasman Plumbers has been Wellington's number one call when a tap won't stop dripping, the hot water gives out, or a renovation needs doing properly. Based at 192a Tasman Street in Mount Cook and working right across the Wellington region, Scott and his team of master plumbers have built a reputation on a simple formula: turn up on time, communicate clearly, and finish every job to a standard that lasts.
Half a century is a long time in any trade, and at Tasman Plumbers it shows in how the team works. The company says it can tackle just about any plumbing challenge, and the range of work backs that up — everything from fixing a leaking faucet through to a major bathroom renovation. Those years of experience have honed genuine problem-solving ability: the team regularly identifies and addresses issues before they become major problems, saving customers both money and disruption.
That depth of experience is matched by proper credentials. Tasman Plumbers is a member of Master Plumbers, Gasfitters & Drainlayers as well as Sitesafe, and adheres to the highest industry standards. Every job — minor repair or large-scale project — carries a two year warranty on all workmanship, peace of mind that few businesses can offer with as much authority after fifty years of seeing what lasts and what doesn't.
The core trade is, of course, plumbing. Tasman Plumbers handles installations, leaking tap repairs and ongoing maintenance for homes and businesses throughout Wellington — the everyday work that keeps the vans moving.
Gas work sits alongside it. The company's certified gasfitters install, repair and maintain gas systems with an emphasis on safe and efficient operation, while drainage forms a third pillar, with expert drainlaying services covering new installations as well as repairs to existing drains.
Hot water is something of a speciality. The team carries out reliable repairs, servicing and installation of hot water systems across gas, electric and continuous flow options, as well as traditional hot water cylinders. For homeowners looking to rein in power bills, Tasman Plumbers also installs hot water heat pumps — an energy-efficient alternative to a traditional electric cylinder or gas water heating that's well worth discussing before replacing a tired system like-for-like.
Then there are the bigger projects. Bathroom renovations are handled with the same top-quality workmanship the company is known for, and the roofing team provides roof repairs, ongoing maintenance and new roof installations to protect your property. One customer's roof replacement on Adelaide Road earned particular praise for how well the ends of the barges and the parapets were finished — the sort of detail that separates a tidy job from a truly professional one.
What do customers actually say? Mark, whose home the company worked on, described an 'awesome and stress free experience' from the moment Scott came out to quote on site to the moment the team finished the job and packed up — fast, efficient, and comfortable enough that he wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to friends, family or colleagues.
Craig's experience tells a similar story. The office promptly confirmed his appointment and told him upfront what the normal charges would be — thanks went to Shirley — while Scott didn't just resolve the plumbing issues but listened, explained what was going on, and brought a genuinely helpful attitude. He finished by saying he'd contact Tasman Plumbers again for the next job, and recommend them to friends. That pattern — punctuality, clear communication, upfront information, quality finishes — comes up again and again in the company's reviews.
Tasman Plumbers operates Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 4:30pm, from its base at 192a Tasman Street in Mount Cook — handy for the central city and inner suburbs such as Newtown, Mt Victoria and Kilbirnie, with services extending across the wider Wellington region. Quotes and service requests can be made by phone on 04 384 3463 or by email at [email protected].
For smaller jobs — a leaking tap, a hot water worry, a drain that's misbehaving — a phone call during business hours is usually all it takes. For larger projects such as bathroom renovations or reroofing, arrange an on-site quote first; it's how the company has always worked, and customers report the process is refreshingly straightforward. Either way, you'll be dealing with master plumbers who have been doing this since 1971, and whose work is guaranteed for two years after they leave.
