The Most Reliable Plumber in Cape Town.
Burst pipe? Blocked drain? No hot water? We fix it fast.
Since 2011, T‑Rex Plumbing has delivered upfront pricing and expert repairs. When you call, you're talking to Trevor, not a call centre.

Tired of Plumbers Who Don't Show Up, Don't Call Back, and Leave a Bigger Mess Than They Found?
You call around. One plumber doesn't answer. One quotes a price, then changes it on the day. One rushes the job, leaves without testing anything, and disappears the moment there's a problem. You don't need another stranger passing through your house - you need someone who answers the phone, does it right the first time, and treats your home like it matters.
What Our Cape Town Customers Say
Geyser repair
Excellent service! My geyser was pulling around 24 units of electricity a day and he came out and diagnosed and fixed the issue. He spent over two hours here making sure everything was sorted. Very professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely lovely to deal with. I really appreciated the time and care he took to get everything right. Highly recommend!!
Phumla NinelaGoogle reviewHeat pump installation
Trex Plumbing did an excellent job installing our heat pump. The team was professional, punctual, and their workmanship was of a very high standard. The installation was neat, efficient, and everything was explained clearly. We are extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend Trex Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable plumbing and heat pump installation. Thank you for a great job!

Meet Trevor Terpend
I started T‑Rex Plumbing to serve Cape Town homeowners, after my own family went through a loss that left us needing plumbing help - I decided to learn the trade properly, so I'd always have a real skill to help people who need it.
When you call, you're talking to me directly, not a call centre. If you're not happy with the work, I make it right - even if it costs me.
