When your hot water cylinder gives out, you don’t have time to wait. At Waterworks Plumbing, we understand the stress and disruption caused by hot water failures — especially in the middle of winter, with guests arriving, or when your family is relying on consistent supply. That’s why we offer fast, affordable hot water cylinder replacement and repair services across Christchurch.

Our process begins with a phone call. We’ll ask a few quick questions to understand your current setup — whether it’s mains or low pressure, electric or gas — and assess whether a repair or full replacement is the most practical solution. If it’s urgent, we prioritise your job to minimise downtime and get your hot water back as quickly as possible.

Our plumbers arrive promptly, communicate clearly, and work efficiently. We take care of everything: draining and removing your old cylinder, updating the pipework, installing the new system to NZ compliance standards, and testing everything thoroughly before we leave. You won’t be left wondering when the water will heat up again — we make sure it’s working and safe before we walk out the door.

We’re also happy to guide you through system upgrades. If you’re thinking of switching from a low-pressure to a mains pressure cylinder for better shower flow, or simply want something more energy efficient, we’ll explain your options in plain English. We only recommend what suits your home and family — not what’s expensive or unnecessary.

What makes us different is our people-first approach. We’re tidy, respectful, and treat your home as if it were our own. Every plumber in our team is qualified, experienced, and fully briefed before arriving on site. We’ve handled dozens of emergency replacements and upgrades for families, landlords, and businesses across Christchurch.

Whether you’re in Riccarton, Rangiora, or Rolleston, we’ve got you covered.
