From leaking taps to full bathroom renovations — Kurt looks after your home's plumbing like it's his own. Certified plumber and drain layer serving Auckland homeowners.

Auckland's Go-To Plumber for Homeowners

Your home's plumbing is the backbone of everyday comfort — from your morning shower to the kitchen sink you use every night. When something goes wrong, you need a plumber who shows up on time, diagnoses the issue honestly, and fixes it properly the first time. That's exactly what Kurt delivers at KA Plumbing LTD. As a fully certified plumber and certified drain layer based on Auckland's North Shore, Kurt brings dual qualifications to every residential job — whether it's a simple tap repair in Takapuna or a complete bathroom renovation in Albany.

KA Plumbing provides the full range of residential plumbing services across Auckland. Burst pipes, blocked drains, hot water cylinder replacements, leaking toilets, new fixture installations, bathroom and kitchen renovations, stormwater drainage, and everything in between. Kurt handles jobs of every size for homeowners, rental property investors, and property managers throughout the North Shore, Central Auckland, West Auckland, and South Auckland. No job is too small, and no call-out is too far.

What sets KA Plumbing apart from larger plumbing companies is the personal, owner-operator approach. When you call, you speak to Kurt directly. When he arrives at your property, he treats your home with the same care and respect he'd give his own. You get a free, upfront quote with no hidden fees, honest advice about what actually needs doing, and a clean finish when the work is complete. Kurt's dual certification as both a plumber and drain layer means you need only one tradesman for jobs that would normally require two — saving you time, money, and the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors.

Our Expertise

What We Cover

Plumber repairing kitchen mixer tap in Auckland home

Kitchen & Bathroom Plumbing

Your kitchen and bathroom are the most plumbing-intensive rooms in your home, and they're where problems show up first. Dripping taps that drive up your water bill. A shower that's lost pressure. A toilet that won't stop running. A waste disposal that's jammed. KA Plumbing handles all kitchen and bathroom plumbing repairs and installations for Auckland homeowners — from replacing a worn mixer cartridge to installing a brand new freestanding bath. Kurt works with all fixture brands and styles, whether you're maintaining an older Auckland villa or fitting out a modern renovation. Every repair is done to code, with quality parts that last. If your kitchen or bathroom plumbing needs attention, call Kurt for a same-day assessment and clear, honest pricing.

Hot Water Systems for Your Home

Nothing disrupts your household like losing hot water — especially in Auckland's cooler months. KA Plumbing specialises in hot water cylinder repair, replacement, and upgrades for residential properties across Auckland. Kurt works with all major brands including Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, and Aquamax, and can advise on the best system for your household size, budget, and energy goals. Whether your existing cylinder has a leaking element, a faulty thermostat, or has simply reached the end of its life, Kurt will diagnose the issue and give you a clear recommendation. Upgrading from an old low-pressure cylinder to a mains-pressure system? Considering a continuous flow gas unit or an energy-efficient heat pump? Kurt handles the full installation including any necessary pipework modifications, tempering valves, and council compliance.

Drainage & Stormwater Solutions

Auckland's heavy rainfall and clay soils make residential drainage a critical issue for homeowners. Blocked drains, overflowing gutters, ponding water, and failing stormwater systems can cause serious property damage if left unaddressed. Kurt holds a certified drain layer qualification in addition to his plumber certification — meaning he's licensed to handle all drainage and stormwater work on your property without needing a second contractor. KA Plumbing provides CCTV drain inspections to identify blockages and damage, high-pressure water jetting to clear stubborn clogs, drain relining and repair for aging pipes, new stormwater and wastewater connections, soak pit installation, and full drainage system replacements. Whether your 1970s concrete drains are cracking or your new extension needs drainage connections, Kurt delivers compliant, council-approved work that protects your property for the long term.

Areas We Serve

Residential Plumbing Across Auckland & the North Shore

KA Plumbing serves homeowners across all of Auckland, with a particular focus on the North Shore. Whether you're in a character villa in Devonport, a modern townhouse in Albany, a family home in Browns Bay, or a lifestyle property in Paremoremo — Kurt has the local knowledge and experience to handle your residential plumbing needs efficiently. Response times for the North Shore are typically within 60 minutes for emergencies, with flexible scheduling available for planned work including evenings and weekends.

Auckland's diverse housing stock means residential plumbing needs vary widely. Older homes in suburbs like Takapuna, Birkenhead, and Glenfield often have aging galvanised or copper pipework that needs upgrading. Newer developments in Long Bay, Albany, and Greenhithe may need modifications or additions as families grow. Whatever your property's age or type, Kurt delivers plumbing solutions that meet current New Zealand building code requirements and Auckland Council standards.
