What does Aquafix Plumbing DO?
Aquafix Plumbing provides PIRB-registered residential and commercial plumbing across Ballito and the Dolphin Coast: leaks, geysers, drains, pressure faults and planned maintenance. We give you a written quote before we start and we are here 24/7.
Affordable plumbing
You get a written quote before we open a wall, photos of the fault and a workmanship guarantee on every job. If we find something bigger, we stop, show you and re-quote. No vague "parts and labour" lines, no surprises on the invoice.
Built for the Dolphin Coast
Salt air corrodes exposed fittings, holiday-home pipes sit idle for weeks and supply interruptions are part of life in iLembe. We fit isolation valves, pressure-reducing valves (PRVs, which cap incoming water pressure to protect fittings) and tank pumps with those realities in mind.
Registered plumbers who issue certificates
Every plumber we send is registered with the Plumbing Industry Registration Board (PIRB), which issues Plumbing Certificates of Compliance (CoCs): signed records that the work met the required standard. Insurers often ask for one after geyser work. Verify any plumber, including ours, on the PIRB member search. SAQA outlines the Licensed Plumber designation, which can sign a CoC.

Residential vs commercial plumbing: what is the difference?
Residential plumbing serves single homes and small systems, while commercial plumbing serves businesses and multi-unit buildings, where demand is higher, downtime is costly and compliance paperwork matters more. We do both.
| Factor | Residential plumbing | Commercial plumbing |
|---|---|---|
| Typical sites | Houses, holiday homes, estate homes, flats | Restaurants, guest houses, retail, schools, clinics, body corporates |
| Main risks | Hidden leaks, geyser failure, blocked drains | Grease blockages, backflow, hot-water capacity, downtime |
| Scheduling | Same or next day; weekends by arrangement | Planned contracts; work outside trading hours |
| Paperwork | Written quote and CoC | Itemised invoice, CoC and service reports |
| Urgent faults | 24/7 call-out | 24/7 call-out |

We've got Your Covered
Emergency SErvices
An urgent plumbing fault is a burst pipe, sewage overflow or failed geyser that cannot wait for a normal booking. Call 0726413447 at any time and a registered plumber will come to you. While you wait:
- Close the main isolation valve, usually near your water meter or boundary.
- Switch off the geyser at the distribution board (DB board, your electrical fuse panel). Never touch electrics while standing in water.
- Open the lowest taps to drain the pipes and ease pressure.
- Photograph the damage for your insurer, then call us.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing means installing and maintaining plumbing for businesses, where downtime costs money and compliance matters. We support restaurants, guest houses, retail centres, schools, clinics and body corporates (the legal entities that manage sectional-title complexes).
- Planned maintenance contracts: scheduled visits that catch faults before they close your doors.
- Grease traps: installation and cleaning of the chambers that catch kitchen fat before it blocks sewers.
Residential Plumbing
it covers every pipe, tap, geyser and drain inside your home, and we handle it all, from a single washer to a full bathroom refit. Most calls fall into five jobs:
- Leaking taps, toilets and showers: repaired or replaced the same visit where parts allow.
- Geyser installation and repair: electric, solar and heat-pump systems, with a CoC for your insurer.
- Blocked sinks and drains: cleared with machines rather than harsh chemicals.
- Low-pressure diagnosis: we test, find the cause and fit a PRV where needed.
