Very disappointed with Tropical Coast Plumbers Townsville. Charged us for a job that was approx double any of our other plumbers charge for the same work. Charged us for 3.5 hours at $155 p.h. plus GST plus materials. On querying the account, tenants at the house indicated the workers had been there 1.5 to 2 hours most. When we queried that we… Read more

were told they had an apprentice working with the main person. Apparently he is charged out at $155 p.h. plus GST. We property manage 132 houses and we wont be using Tropical Coast Plumbing any further.

Very expensive to change two taps in my vanity unit - $358 for 1 hr work! An initial fee of $99 was charged, the invoice came after the work was carried out. $258 was to be charged for the work. I supplied the taps The work was good but I was just taken back about how much this cost!

They fixed a leak for us by replacing a rubber seal. The rubber seal failed a few months later. Would not honour their warranty. Kept texting us etc. When I rang to discuss they fobbed me off, would not return calls etc.

I called Tropical Coast Plumbing for a drainage issue. It was a downright shoddy job they did. The trench wasn't fully backfilled, and the work was nowhere near professional. I raised the the issue with their office and I was advised the plumbers were not done yet, some one was coming the very next day to clean up. Noone ever came. I requested… Read more

for boss who quoted the job to come and see in person what my concerns were, and submitted some photos. He never did. I called again days later, and I was advised they did not have my address in their system. Days later the boys passed through and said the cleanup wasn't part of their job - despite it specifically being mentioned in the quotation- they scooped a few shovels of soil away and left. After they left, the office sent me a second bill claiming it was a penalty for an incorrect callout. A lady from the office texted me advising I would get a direct call from the accounts department. Over 3 weeks gone by now, I am still waiting for their call.

A bunch of con artists. Avoid or get ripped off – Also trading as Capricorn Coast Plumbing. Quote 18270 Gave me a quote for a small gutter / flashing job. I agreed to the extorsionate sum, but then they came back demanding 50% andvance payment before they would do anything. Would not give a date for rectification / action until afer deposit paid. Went out for 3 more quotes all 50% less than… Read more

the extortionates. No deposit required and guaranteed completion dates and leak guarantee provided.

Forget these extortionates, believed to be trading from Brisbane. Use local and save 50%.

Since NOT ACCEPTING this extortionate quote I used Howard at Yeppoon Plumbing to rectify a leaking patio since construction. After 6 failed attempts by the constructor to stop the leaks. 1 visit by Howard solved the problem. Gutters can now overflow like rivers but no leak inside.

Also, no up front payment and quote that I paid 30% less than requested by Tropical.

These guys are GOOD and HONEST.
