Parts On Hand, Jobs Started Today

Caravan plumbing has its own quirks - 12V pumps, push-fit fittings, flexible hose runs, tanks that flex under load. A generic plumber will struggle with some of this.

Our workshop carries a full range of caravan-specific plumbing fittings, pumps, hoses and replacement tanks so most jobs can be started the day your van arrives.

Common Plumbing Problems We Fix

Pump Runs Continuously

Leak in the system or a failed pressure switch. We locate the source, repair or replace, and prove the system is fixed.

Low Water Pressure

Blocked filter, failing pump, air in the lines or kinked hose. We diagnose with proper gauges rather than guessing.

Tank Not Filling

Blocked breather, kinked fill hose, faulty level sender or restricted fill point. Quick fix once identified.

Water Leaks Under Van

Tank cracks, loose fittings, failed valves or damaged pipes. Becomes serious quickly - book early.

Smelly Water

Bacterial growth in the fresh tank. We flush, sanitise and install filtration to stop it coming back.

Tap Drips & Drops

Worn cartridges, failing washers or cracked tap bodies. Repaired with caravan-specific fittings built for travel vibration.

Heading off on a long trip? Have the plumbing system pressure-tested before you go. A 15-minute check can catch a failing fitting that would otherwise drain your fresh water tank overnight 500 km from the nearest workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions

A pump that runs continuously usually means there is a leak in the system, a failed pressure switch on the pump itself, or air in the lines. The pump runs because it cannot reach pressure. We trace the issue, fix the leak or replace the pump, and test the full system before handing the van back.

Yes, most tanks can be repaired rather than replaced. We patch polyethylene tanks, replace fittings, fix cracked outlets, and replace mounting hardware. If the tank is beyond repair we can source and install a replacement to suit your caravan layout.

Yes. We install inline caravan water filters, under-sink filter systems, and full whole-of-van filtration for travellers who rely on bore, tank or dubious mains water. Filter change intervals vary by system so we explain what you need to do and carry the replacement cartridges in our parts shop.

Yes. Many older caravans were built without grey water tanks, and national parks increasingly require them. We can retrofit a grey water tank suited to your chassis layout, including all plumbing connections to the sink and shower drains.

Yes, we carry a wide range of caravan plumbing fittings, taps, pumps, hoses, 12mm push-fit fittings, tank breathers and water heater parts in our St Marys parts shop. You can visit the shop directly, call us to check stock, or browse online at our parts store.

Pump cost varies by brand and flow rate - most replacement pumps suitable for caravans are between $150 and $350 for the pump itself, with installation typically under an hour of labour. We always provide a written quote before proceeding so you know exactly what you are paying.
