How real customers actually Google it.

Sample · Demo Site
★★★★★ · SAT 8:14PM · Hot water

Hot water gave up an hour before guests arrived. Called every plumber in the book. David rocked up in his van 40 minutes later, diagnosed a dead element on a 6-year-old Rinnai, had a replacement on the truck. Hot showers by 10pm. Won't use anyone else.

Jess R. · Bondi Aug 2025 · After hours
★★★★★ · TUE 6:02AM · Burst pipe

Burst pipe under the kitchen sink, water everywhere, 6am on a Tuesday. David was on site by 7. Quoted upfront, no surprises. Refunded the $99 call-out because the job was over $500. Cleaned up before he left.

Marco T. · Coogee Nov 2025 · Emergency
★★★★★ · THU 11:20AM · Blocked drain

Kitchen sink and laundry both backing up in our Bronte terrace. David ran the drain camera, showed me the tree roots on his iPad, jetted the line and capped a cracked junction. Another plumber quoted $1,500 to dig up the courtyard. David's bill was a third of that. Cracker of a job.

Priya N. · Bronte Feb 2026 · Drain camera
★★★★★ · SUN 11:45PM · Gas leak

Strong gas smell at the cooktop on a Sunday night, two kids asleep upstairs. David picked up the phone, told me to shut the meter and open the windows, and was at the door in 35 minutes. Found a perished hose on the bayonet, replaced it, leak-tested the lot, issued the gas-safety cert next morning. Saved my Christmas honestly.

Hannah W. · Randwick Dec 2025 · After hours
★★★★★ · WED 9:30AM · Hot water

Strata called us three plumbers deep before David. Old Rheem electric in the basement of our Paddington apartment block had been lukewarm for weeks. David pulled it apart, pegged it as a stuffed tempering valve plus sediment in the tank, swapped the lot, and had hot water back on the same arvo. Fair go on the price too.

Stavros K. · Paddington Jan 2026 · Strata
★★★★★ · SAT 2:10AM · Blocked drain

Toilet overflowing at 2am with the in-laws staying. Marlin's was the only number that picked up. David ran the camera the next morning, pulled out a kid's matchbox car wedged in the soil stack. Charged me the after-hours call-out and not a cent more for the second visit. No fuss, no upselling.

Tom L. · Maroubra Mar 2026 · After hours
★★★★★ · FRI 3:45PM · Blocked drain

Cafe in Surry Hills, fat trap blocked solid before the dinner rush. Most blokes would have flogged us with a weekend rate the next morning. David fitted us in within the hour, jetted the trap, gave me a maintenance plan so it doesn't happen again. Back trading by 5. Top bloke.

Aaron P. · Surry Hills Sep 2025 · Commercial
★★★★★ · MON 1:15PM · Tap repair

Three dripping mixers and a running cistern in our Double Bay apartment, the kind of small jobs other plumbers won't bother turning up for. David batched the lot in one visit, replaced the cartridges, swapped the inlet valve, flat rate the whole way through. Old-school plumber who actually rings back.

Nadia F. · Double Bay Apr 2026 · Maintenance

We work on Federation terraces, post-war fibros, art-deco apartments and brand new Bondi knock-down rebuilds. Old houses don't scare us.

A Personal Promise

From David Marlin, owner.

David Marlin
Owner · Lic. L25842C

I started Marlin Plumbing in 2014 because I was sick of hearing the same story from my customers. Plumber didn't show. Plumber doubled the quote on the day. Plumber left a mess and didn't pick up the phone the next morning. That isn't how a trade should work, and it's not how we work.

Here's what we promise. We answer the phone. We turn up when we say. We quote upfront, in writing, before any work starts. There are no hourly meters running while we look for parts. Every job is done by a licensed plumber, signed off, and warrantied for life on the workmanship.

If we don't fix it, you don't pay. That's the whole deal. We've kept it for over a decade and we're not changing it now.

If you've got water where it shouldn't be, or no water where it should be, give me or one of the boys a call. We'll talk you through it on the phone, and if we can't fix it down the line, we'll have a van there same day.
