Plumbers in Napier, Hawke's Bay
Licensed for plumbing, gas fitting, and drainage — with plumbers based in both Napier and Hastings.
Plumbing work our Napier team handles
APlus Plumbing & Gas has been trading since 2020, with a team of plumbers based in both Napier and Hastings — so wherever the job is, someone local is usually close by. Between us we hold certifications in plumbing, gas fitting, drain laying, and backflow prevention: the full set of trades for residential, landlord, and property-management work.
Most jobs are everyday residential — leaking taps, toilet repairs, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, low water pressure. If we think a repair won't last, we'll explain why and what a replacement would involve before starting.
Common plumbing work we handle:
Leaking taps, pipes, and fittings
Toilet repairs and replacements
Kitchen and bathroom plumbing
Low water pressure diagnosis, including mains-pressure conversions
General residential plumbing maintenance
Dux Quest pipe replacements in older Hawke's Bay homes
We work with homeowners, landlords, and property managers across Napier — including active work for agencies like Harcourts and Oxygen.
For a fuller breakdown, see our residential plumbing services.
Emergency plumbers in Napier
For urgent jobs — a burst pipe, a failed cylinder, a backed-up drain — our plumbers in Napier and Hastings dispatch based on who's closest. Response time depends on where you are and what's already on the run sheet; we'll give you a realistic time window when you call.
If something we've done fails afterwards, we come back and put it right at no charge.

Hot water cylinders, gas systems, and no-hot-water calls
Hot water is one of the most common calls we take in Napier — leaking cylinders, no hot water, replacements for older systems, and new installs.
Hot water work we handle:
Hot water cylinder repairs
Cylinder replacements (mains-pressure, low-pressure, gas storage)
Gas infinity installations
Gas-to-electric conversions (common now with solar installs)
Diagnosing no-hot-water faults
Blocked drains and drainage work in Napier
For one-off blockages we use a high-pressure water blaster. For recurring blockages, outdoor drainage issues, or full drainage re-lays, we have digger access and two certified drain layers on the team.
Older Hawke's Bay houses often have drainage that wasn't set up for modern stormwater loads — which can become a Healthy Homes compliance issue if the property is tenanted. If you're seeing repeat blockages or pooling after rain, it's worth getting someone in to look at the root cause rather than clearing the symptom.
Drainage work we handle in Napier:
Blocked toilets and gully traps
Slow-draining sinks, showers, and baths
Outdoor drainage (pipes, sumps, stormwater)
Repeat blockages with digger access where required
Council-consented drainage and backflow prevention servicing

Where we work across Napier and Hawke's Bay
We cover all of Napier — from the hillside suburbs of Bluff Hill and Ahuriri, through the CBD and waterfront, and out to Marewa, Maraenui, Onekawa, Pirimai, Tamatea, and Napier South. On the western side we regularly work in Taradale, Greenmeadows, Poraiti, and Meeanee. On the northern edge we cover Westshore, Pandora, and Bay View.
Beyond Napier, our plumbers service the wider Hawke's Bay region — Hastings, Havelock North, Flaxmere, Clive, Haumoana, Te Awanga, Eskdale, and surrounding rural areas.
Because our team is split between Napier and Hastings, we can usually dispatch a plumber from whichever base is closest to your job — which keeps response times shorter across the region.
Plumbers in Napier - FAQs
How quickly can your plumbers get to a Napier job?
For urgent work during business hours we dispatch as soon as possible — often within two hours, sometimes faster if one of our plumbers is already nearby. Non-urgent work is usually same-day or next-morning. For after-hours calls, we'll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
Can your plumbers help with an older Napier home?
Yes. We do a lot of work on older Hawke's Bay housing stock — Dux Quest pipe replacements, mains-pressure conversions, drainage upgrades for Healthy Homes compliance, and cylinder replacements in homes with aging equipment.
What certifications does your team hold?
Across the team we hold plumbing, gas fitting, and drain laying certifications. Two certified drain layers on staff. Backflow prevention certification for council-regulated valve servicing.
How is pricing worked out, and how do I know what a job will cost?
Our hourly rate is $90+GST/hr. For most planned work we quote before starting so there are no surprises on price. For diagnostic callouts where the cause isn't clear until we're on-site, we'll explain the rate upfront and keep you updated as we work.
Do you do after-hours and emergency plumbing in Napier?
Yes — burst pipes, failed cylinders, backed-up drains. Out-of-hours dispatch depends on which crew is available when you call. See our full emergency plumbing service for details.
Do you handle Healthy Homes plumbing compliance for rental properties?
Yes. We regularly work with landlords and property managers on drainage upgrades, ventilation fixes, and water-pressure corrections required for Healthy Homes certification. Documented work is provided for your compliance records.
Do you handle consented drainage work and backflow certification?
Yes. With two certified drain layers on the team and backflow prevention certification held in-house, we handle council-consented drainage jobs end-to-end — from permit through to sign-off.
