Plumber in the City Bowl, Cape Town
Apartments and hillside homes in Gardens, Tamboerskloof, Oranjezicht and Vredehoek
T‑Rex Plumbing covers the City Bowl from our Southern Suburbs base, usually the same day. When you call, you're talking to Trevor, not a call centre.
Hillside Homes and Apartments
The City Bowl mixes older houses on steep streets with apartment blocks, and both bring their own plumbing quirks: water pressure and temperature problems, ageing geysers in tight spaces, and sectional title questions about who's responsible for what.
We diagnose pressure and hot water problems properly and explain the fix before we start. We can usually be with you the same day, within 1 to 2 hours during working hours.

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!
