Plumber in Plumstead, Cape Town
Everyday repairs and emergencies for Plumstead homes
T‑Rex Plumbing covers Plumstead from our Southern Suburbs base. When you call, you're talking to Trevor, not a call centre.
Burst Pipes, Geysers and Everything Between
Plumstead is an established suburb of family homes and newer townhouses. The calls we get most are the everyday ones that can't wait: a burst pipe, no hot water, a toilet that won't stop running.

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!
