Master Plumbers · Est. 1972 · West & Central Auckland
Plumbing and drainage specialists. Blocked drains, hot water cylinders, leaky taps, broken watermains — a family-run team that has kept West Auckland running since 1972.
Watkins is a family-owned plumbing and drainage company working out of West Auckland for more than fifty years. Every plumber is registered, every drainlayer certified — and the same family still answers the phone.
General maintenance plumbing for homes and businesses: leaking taps, low water pressure, toilet repairs, pipework, and fixture replacements. Done once, done properly.
Certified drainlayers for unblocking, repairs and new drainage work. High-pressure water jetting gear clears what hand tools cannot — usually the same day.
West Auckland's installer of electric hot water systems. New installs, replacements, and repairs — cold showers don't wait, and neither do we.
Blocked gully traps, slow drains, toilets that won't flush. We diagnose the cause, clear it, and tell you straight what it cost and why.
From undetected leaks driving your water bill up to full watermain replacements. We find the fault, fix it, and restore your pressure.
Ongoing maintenance plumbing for rental portfolios, offices and retail. One team that knows your building and keeps it running.
Established in West Auckland in 1972 and still privately owned. Three generations of local knowledge — the team that plumbed houses in the eighties still maintains them today.
We aim to reach your job within 1–2 days, faster for emergencies. You are told the price before we start: time on site, travel, and materials on top — nothing hidden.
Serving West Auckland since 1972 — mostly repeat customers and referrals.
