Should I repair or replace my hot water cylinder?

There are a few things we assess to determine repair vs replacement. Every home is different, but we would recommend replacing your hot water cylinder if:

  • It’s 10-15 years old and nearing its lifespan.

  • If you’ve already tried to repair your hot water cylinder a few times, we’ll have a chat about a better solution.

  • If it’s leaking, making strange noises, the water is cold or discoloured you might have to replace your hot water cylinder as these are signs of corrosion or irreparable damage.

If your hot water cylinder is less than ten years old, and you’ve experienced a one off leak, our first step will be a repair.

We know our stuff when it comes to hot water cylinders, and we’ll talk through all the options before going ahead with anything.

Happy Customers

  • "Kewa, Bronson and the entire team at Kai Pai Plumbing are EXCELLENT. Kewa's team set the bar high when it comes to quality of work and customer service. I can't recommend them highly enough."

    Blair & Rach

  • "We contacted Ka Pai to sort out a number of both interior and exterior plumbing issues. Kewa completed everything over a period of time and even came up with some innovative solutions to solve leaks. There was a delay with a part supplied by a third party but this was beyond his control. Kewa just keeps on working to fix issues and we highly recommend his services."

    Andrew

  • "We got in touch with Ka Pai Plumbing due to a plumbing emergency (blocked sink that resisted all our efforts to unblock it) and our usual plumber was unavailable. Ka Pai showed up early the next morning and promptly got on with the job, quickly analysing the problem and resolving it. During their investigations they discovered some shoddy work done prior to us having anything to do with the house, which left alone could have had serious consequences for the house. They showed us the issue and were able to fix it on the spot. I was so impressed with Ka Pai from start to finish and I would definitely use them again."

    Miriam

  • "Bronson did a great job repairing a shower and a leaky pipe. He was on time, efficient and friendly. Explained the issues and left everything tidy. We are very happy customers."

    Jenny

  • "5 Stars - Highly Recommended! We had an urgent issue with a broken pipe and my husband contacted Ka Pai Plumbing. Bronson arrived and within half an hour he had it fixed! He was professional, efficient, and friendly. The service was reasonably priced and the response time was incredibly fast. I’m very impressed with the quality of work and customer service. Highly recommend Ka Pai Plumbing for anyone needing reliable and quick plumbing help!"

    Erika

  • "The Ka Pai Plumbing team delivers an awesome service. Communicating with Ash was a pleasure, as they kept me updated with great communication. Despite being busy with a carry-over job, Kewa still made time on a Friday afternoon to address our plumbing issue. Thank you, Ash and Kewa, for your services. Much appreciated!"

    Sione

    Lisa

  • "Had an emergency on a Sunday when water intake pipe for toilet snapped and was flooding house. Searched for emergency plumber and only Ka Pai Plumbing answered immediately. Very professional, fast response time and didn't price gouge because it was an emergency. "

    Andrew

  • "Amazing customer service, so quick and easy using the online booking. The problem was fixed in 1/2 hour and instead of just leaving he checked and fixed the flow of the drain (maintenance on the pipe) also suggested alternative pipe layout to minimise any future issues with out any pressure to do it with them. Super friendly service. I will definitely be using ka pai in the future. Really reasonable price with no hidden cost!"
