The Nixon Plumber

Households across Canberra, from owners of original 1940s double-brick homes to families dealing with sudden plumbing dramas, have turned to this operator for both urgent repairs and planned upgrades. The work described ranges widely: tap replacements and toilet repairs, clearing sluggish or smelly drains, removing old gas cooktops and disconnecting gas supplies, and converting gas hot water systems over to heat pump units, including Rheem installations. Customers writing about their orders describe Chris as knowledgeable and efficient, taking the time to explain each step and the options available before proceeding.

Reliability and punctuality come up often, with reviewers noting he fits in urgent jobs at short notice, including a blocked water main that turned out to be the real culprit behind a suspected pipe problem. Tidiness is a recurring point of praise, with mess under old appliances and work areas left clean afterwards. Reviewers repeatedly mention fair, competitive pricing and the care taken when sourcing fittings that suit older properties. Beyond the technical work, many note his patience with complex, long-standing issues such as gurgling toilets and musty waste smells that had defeated previous attempts, and his kindness towards family members during difficult periods is remembered fondly.

The Nixon Plumber has provided friendly, knowledgeable and timely service on 2 occasions now and I will definitely use Nixon again. I’ve had a small tap replacement job done, and conversion from gas hot water to heat pump hot water and have very happy with the work and service on both occasions. Highly recommend!

Chris did a great job advising us on what heat pump was best suited to our home. The installation was quick and easy and he helped us out with some other plumbing issues also. He’s a great guy and I would highly recommend him if you’re looking at getting a heat pump. 5 stars!

I highly recommend Chris - we called him out this week for a smell coming from our toilet. He was thorough in diagnosing the problem, clearly explained the issue and the solution, and left the place really clean

Chris has now helped me out twice with tap temper tantrums, and has proved personable, knowledgeable, effective and very competitive in price. Recommended to me by a friend, I am more than happy to pass on a strong recommendation of the Nixon Plumber.

Chris provided excellent care and work for our family home and his kindness to my mother through a difficult time was very much appreciated. We would highly recommend him.

Chris came to our rescue and fixed a leaking bathroom tap and a gas heating system that wasn’t working. He was on-time, efficient, friendly and tidy. Highly recommended! Thank you Chris!

Chris did an outstanding install of a Rheem heat pump/hot water service. Very knowledgeable, efficient and a great on communication.
