Bayside Plumbing is a small team of registered plumbers based in Somerset West. We handle the everyday jobs that keep a home running, from blocked drains and dripping taps to geyser replacements and full bathroom plumbing, and we handle the emergencies that happen at the worst possible time.
Every job starts with a clear quote. You know what we will do and what it costs before we pick up a tool. If we find something unexpected, we stop and talk to you first.
We work across the Helderberg and answer WhatsApp seven days a week.

Tell us what is happening. For a burst pipe, turn off the stopcock first; we will talk you through it.
A registered plumber assesses the problem and tells you what it will cost before starting.
Repairs done to SANS standards with quality fittings, and the area left clean.
Certificate of Compliance for geysers and property sales, and an invoice your insurer will accept.
“Fixed our burst geyser the same afternoon and left the bathroom cleaner than they found it.”
“Honest quote, no surprises. They showed me the old pipe so I could see why it failed.”
“Third time we have used Bayside. Always the same crew, always tidy.”
Turn off the main stopcock first, usually at the street boundary or where the water pipe enters the house, then switch off the geyser at the DB board so it does not run dry. Then call us; we will tell you how soon we can be there.
Usually yes, most household policies cover geyser bursts and the resulting damage, but insurers require the replacement to be done by a PIRB-registered plumber with a Certificate of Compliance. Do not remove the old geyser before the claim is logged.
A plumber registered with the Plumbing Industry Registration Board, which means they are qualified to do the work and to issue Certificates of Compliance. Ask for the registration number; a registered plumber will give it without hesitation.
In most municipalities yes. Cape Town, for example, requires a plumbing CoC on transfer confirming the water installation meets the by-laws. We inspect, fix what fails and issue the certificate.
A call-out fee covers travel and the first period of diagnosis, and the repair is quoted before any work starts. Emergency after-hours call-outs cost more, and we tell you the amount when you phone.
Most often a failing element or thermostat, sometimes water on the electrical connections. Switch the geyser off at the DB board and call us; running it while it trips can damage the geyser further.
