5 Mark Hennings  · Fantastic Service. They came out within 30 minutes of me calling. Fixed the issue, made some recommendations. Highly recommended.
1 Peter M.  · Worst and rude service. Much overpriced. Quoted 1200 for replacement of a shower tap.
5 Lorraine H.  · Pipe burst in my bathroom, plumber Josh arrived and replaced faulty parts. Very fast very efficient thank you Josh and Optimised Plumbing.
2 Rebecca N.  · Overpriced – Good service but overpriced. $288 to unblock toilet without any tools which took 2mn during normal trading hours.
3 Rose-Marie  · Problem solved – Good service from the manager of the business, he solved the problem.
5 Rika  · Did plumbing work – Good fast clean work. Very happy so far!!!! Great job done by Kurt

The plumber turned up half an hour earlier than booked and insisted that he's on time while we were not expected. He didn't even bother checking to see why the tap leak and insisted that we need to change the whole unit for $760 what a rip off. Not only that he was very pushy in making us to do it. As soon as he realized we didn't want to replace… Read more

the whole unit (1 hot & 1 cold old tap with housing units) he just wanted to get the $50 turn up fee. When we asked for a receipt he said he will send text message but never received one.

Guess what we managed to get another plumber the next day who fixed it for $150.

USE GREAT CARE WITH THIS COMPANY. We called a plumber out on a Saturday morning. We expected to be changed extra for emergency work at the weekend BUT in this case, there WAS A SIGNIFICANT LACK OF TRANSPARANCY WITH RESPECT TO THE CHARGES and a MASSIVE OVER CHARGE FOR THE WORK DONE. We HAD to pay $250 up front to log the call and then were told… Read more

that the plumber would tell us further terms on arrival . These terms were that we had to pay for FOUR HOURS WORK even though the job , in fact , only took only 10 minutes !!! So, either we lose our $250 call out fee and don't get the work done Or we pay over $600 for a 10 minute job. This is an OUTRAGEOUS case of Lack of transparancy and a case of overcharging . THINK TWICE ABOUT THIS COMPANY FOR EMERGANCY WORK.

Excellent service provided by Optimised Plumbing. The plummer, Christian was professional, very polite and discussed clearly to my wife and I what was involved and what he was working on throughout the whole day including photos. It was a big job, tree roots in sewage pipes requiring jack hammer to dig through hard clay. Cleaned up completely… Read more ·  1

afterwards including taking way a few loads of clay (who wants that). As previous reviews have noted, they did seem a bit expensive, ($4000)so if you need to get a few quotes, don't be rushed. But in terms of a professional job completed and satisfaction, 5 stars.

Excellent plumbing service. Johnson and Josiah went out of their way to get me the toilet suite I needed and fitted it with the minimum of fuss. Josiah knew all about the product and how it worked and was happy to explain it to me. He told me if I had any problems with the product he would come out and fix it under the warrantee. The product was sourced and installed at a reasonable price.

Professional Company – Needed a plumber quickly, Mick arrived in 30 minutes, gave us a quote, 2 options, He explained the problem clearly. No rushing, or pressure. We agreed on repairs and he sent Ethan who was wonderful. Despite the storm, he rectified the leak, Ethan is a very professional plumber, Very polite and very thorough. Would not hesitate to recommend optimised Plumbing Services Show details

Great service! Would highly recommend OPS – My husband and I had the pleasure of dealing with Mick from Optimised Plumbing Services. He was incredibly thorough and friendly, and he took the time to explain the issue and the repair process. Overall couldn't be happier with the service we received. I know who I will be calling the next time I have a plumbing issue.

Stay away.. Yesterday I had Sam come out to quote for a leak under my sink. I thought the seal needed replacing. After a quote for replacing all the pipes and waste plugs, the quote being $896. I foolishly paid a $200 deposit. After thinking how excessive the quote was I decided to cancel the job and get another quote. I rang the company to… Read more

cancel and they got Sam to call me. Refusing to refund the deposit, (less the call out fee, which I was accepting to pay). My son in laws came today had a look at it and tightened up the screws, all fixed! No more leaks! My son in law is NOT a plumber. I strongly suggest Sam do the plumbing course again and learn the job properly. It’s obvious he doesn’t know how to fix things. I certainly would not recommend this company! Lee

Stay away. No ethics – Sam came out. 20 Min late and didn’t say sorry. Then he ask me for a ladder. Not because he didn’t have one, he was just to lazy to remove it from his truck that was outside Because I had a similar problem, I showed him where to cut the roof to look for the possible problem. He did not bother to listen and cut 2 holes large enough to get his head… Read more

through, in different areas of the roof. Obviously he did not find anything. He kept on trying to talk up the problem. When I asked him to just to cut a hole where I ask him to cut it he got aggressive and said that if I want him to cut holes in the roof the whole day he will have to charge me for it. Note that at this point he has been at my place for less than 30min, cut two holes where I told him he wont find anything and still have not cut the first hole where I asked him to. When he eventually cut where I asked him to we could see the water seeping trough under a beam. I asked him to cut so we could see on the other side of the beam and he said he will have to bill me. He then went off that it might be the aircon and that he will have to come back with a leak finder and that will cost me $800. I just ask him to go and paid $79 call out for spending less than 45 min, using my ladder and not being able to find the problem. After he left I cut open the roof myself on the other side of the beam and immediately found the water leak on the pipe where I said it would be in the first place.

Stay away – Don't go near this company. They came over to quote a broken pipe and the quote was $1.300. After I got up from falling over I was told they can give me a better price of $1.100. So I rang a local Penrith plumber and got the job completed for $350. Stay away from these guys. They're outsourcing the work to plumber's and it's a hit and miss if you… Read more

get a good one. Look at all the different names of the plumber's on the Reviews ! My advice I'd to get a local plumber with good reviews.

Poor workmanship and poor morals! – The Plumber from Optimised Plumbing did not fix my bathroom leak which dripped through the ceiling to the level below. They charged over $1300.00 and the leak is not fixed. They changed a drain grate but did not even find the leak until they returned later. They then wanted to charge me more money to fix the real leak. I think they are dishonest and poor tradesmen and I would never recommend them.

OPTIMISED PLUMBING SERVICES – BE FULLY INFORMED ABOUT YOUR WIDE RANGE OF AVAILABLE OPTIONS. THEY CLAIM they provide Affordable, Professional & Honest Upfront Pricing, with NO HIDDEN COSTS for the JOB! These promises were NOT COMPLIED WITH! Plumbing work required was to fix ONE leaking TAP spout. No detailed discussion was provided regarding such plumbing service, about… Read more

individual items or overall costs. NO CHOICE of replacement "Tap Set Style" was given to customer.

NO DETAILED CLEAR UPFRONT QUOTE PROVIDED on that day, or any day thereafter, despite written request.

An UPFRONT DEPOSIT payment was required on QUOTE day, and balance of account paid next day after completion of the job. That is when we got a REAL SHOCK of a VERY EXPENSIVE SERVICE - almost $900 for ONE TAP replacement, and UNDER ONE HOUR installation job.

This has been a VERY EXPENSIVE and TIME CONSUMING - BAD EXPERIENCE!

Researching RETAIL plumbing material PRICES, and plumbing product REVIEWS for installed items, actual material cost was in the range of $400 to $500.

This Tap Replacement job was GROSSLY OVERCHARGED! IT BREACHES THIS COMPANY'S WEBSITE PROMISES.

Installation quality was good.

“Pex” FLEXI HOSE was installed with isolation valve. This product has only up to 10 years warranty. It requires REGULAR INSPECTIONS, has the risk of a BURST HOSE and INDOOR FLOODING, and REPEAT service INSTALLATIONS in following years. This product is INFERIOR to all our other copper pipes system installed throughout the house.

This issue was raised with this company, and "Pex" flexi hose was fully replaced with copper pipes, as it should have been done in the first case!

Bad service provider – I called this service. The guy charged huge amount. But the guy left job without solving the issue. Also the behaviour is not professional. I don't recommend their service.

Even in an emergency always check other companies prices – Woke to find water pouring from laundry hot tap. Called several emergency numbers these got back first. I was really stressed so arranged for plumber to come. Plumber arrived to quote then checked other taps. Added bathroom taps said needed doing, so added to job for the next day. No problem with work but boy $830 to change 2 sets of taps I’m… Read more

told is very expensive. So even in an emergency always take the time to compare prices. My bathroom taps apparently are connected wrong way round (but plumber put labels on according to standard) which plumber failed to identify or inform me. When I called the woman was rude and abrupt said I could fix it in 5minutes. Eventually agreed reluctantly to send someone, emphasising not their fault.

Happy Customer – Optimized plumbing responded quickly and came out next day to quote. Was able to install and remove our hot water heater the next day after quotation. One of their lovely team members Kurt, was on time, very thorough and cleaned up very well after the job was finished. I recommend Kurt to fix any plumbing problems ☺️

100% Professional, Excellent workmanship, on time every time, great communication! – We have now completed a Laundry, ensuite and main bathroom renovation where these guys did all our plumbing work in the prep stage then fit out at the end. I can't recommend the guys highly enough. Great communication throughout the process and completed everything on time and on budget. They are clean and tidy, professional, friendly and take… Read more

Professional, efficient and friendly service provided – Following on from a previous problem of a blocked sink we booked a second call-out to complete some work that we wanted done rather than needing to be done. The booking was easy and Ethan arrived earlier than originally planned but kept in contact to ensure that this was okay. Ethan spent time to explain what was going to happen with each of the… Read more

two issues we wanted to improve. One was to raise the water meter above the ground level ( it was in a hole), and the other was to replace an old toilet bowl. Ethan worked hard the entire time he was here, had all the correct tools he needed and cleaned up after himself. We could not be happier in having our all our household plumbing issues solved by Optimised Plumbing within 72 hours.

Really happy with their work, their punctuality and the clearing up – My hot water heater suddenly stopped working. Spoke on the phone to very pleasant person. By the afternoon the old one was out and gone. Next morning at Seven am the plumber was there with the replacement. Being a contractor this was great as I hardly lost any time. Thank you very much.
