Plumber at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
Apartments, sea air, and plumbing that has to work first time
T‑Rex Plumbing covers the Waterfront from our Southern Suburbs base, usually the same day. When you call, you're talking to Trevor, not a call centre.
Apartments by the Sea
Homes at the Waterfront are mostly apartments, often in buildings with their own access rules and managing agents. Sea air is also harder on metal fittings, taps and geyser components than inland air.
We coordinate access with building management, check fittings for corrosion while we're there, and 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!

Questions From Waterfront Homeowners
Yes. Let us know the building's access process when you book and we'll coordinate with building management.
Water coming through a ceiling often starts in the unit above or in shared pipes. We'll trace it and show you where it's coming from, so you and the building can sort out who needs to fix it.
No. There's no extra travel charge for the Waterfront, just our standard R400 call-out fee.
Usually the same day, within 1 to 2 hours during our working hours, plus whatever time building access takes.
Yes. Every Waterfront project comes with our 1-year workmanship guarantee: if our work fails within a year, we will return and fix it for free. Parts and appliances carry the manufacturer's own warranty, and we'll help you start a manufacturer claim if one is needed.
