Outright Plumbing is the expert on Brighton’s toilets. Yay for us?
Toilet problems are a regular call-out in Brighton. Many of the heritage homes near Church Street and along the bay are still running on old clay sewer pipes. Those pipes are brittle and cracked, which lets plane tree and gum roots push their way in. The result is toilets that gurgle, flush slowly, or back up without warning.
In the larger Brighton family homes that have been extended with extra bathrooms, blockages often spread through the whole house because the sewer lines were never upgraded to handle the extra load. And in apartment buildings, one toilet problem can affect every unit on the line, turning a simple blockage into a major disruption for residents.
We deal with all of these scenarios every week. Whether it’s clearing a simple obstruction, jetting out tree roots, or relining a cracked pipe to give you a long-term solution, Outright Plumbing knows how to keep Brighton’s toilets running properly.
- Emergency toilet unblocking for sudden backups and overflows.
- Regular maintenance to keep older drains clear of roots.
- Pipe repairs and relining when damage makes repeat blockages unavoidable.


Why Brighton families turn to us when toilets play up
Toilet problems can be disruptive, messy, and stressful, and that’s exactly why we’ve built our approach around keeping things simple and under control. We start by inspecting the problem properly, not just guessing. Our $45 diagnostic fee covers a licensed plumber checking your toilet, explaining what they’ve found, and giving you real options instead of quick fixes.
Once you know what’s going on, we give you a choice. Some Brighton homes only need a straightforward unblock, while others require more permanent work if roots or cracked pipes are involved. We’ll lay out the pros and cons clearly, with fixed pricing attached to each option, so you can decide what’s right for your home.
From there, you can expect us to do things the right way — arriving when we say we will, calling ahead so you’re not left waiting, and leaving the bathroom clean once the job’s done. It’s this mix of honest advice, respect for your home, and guaranteed workmanship that keeps households across Melbourne coming back to us whenever their toilets cause trouble.

Questions Brighton locals often ask us
Toilet blockages come with a lot of “what ifs.” What will it cost? What happens if the pipe has collapsed? Can you get here today? We’ve answered the most common questions from Brighton families below, so you know what to expect before you call.
How much does it cost for a plumber to unblock a toilet in Brighton?
For Brighton homes, our $45 call-out fee covers a plumber attending and diagnosing the problem. From there, a straightforward toilet unblock usually costs between $150 and $300, depending on what we find.
Some blockages are simple to clear with standard equipment, while others turn out to be a bigger plumbing issue, especially in Brighton’s older homes with cracked clay pipes or tree root intrusion. If that’s the case, we’ll explain the options clearly and give you fixed pricing before any work begins.
If you need a toilet unblocking service, our blocked drain plumber can often sort it out on the spot. We focus on cost-effective solutions that last, not temporary fixes that leave you calling us back in a few weeks.
What’s included in your $45 call-out fee for Brighton toilet repairs?
Our $45 call-out fee covers having a licensed plumber come to your Brighton home, inspect the toilet properly, and explain what’s causing the problem. That first visit includes a full diagnosis, so you’ll know whether it’s a simple blockage or something more involved with the pipes.
From there, we give you three clear repair options with fixed pricing. You can choose the approach that best suits your home and budget, and we’ll get your blocked toilet back in working order without delay.
We’ve built our reputation on being the team that arrived on time, explained things clearly, and left families feeling confident enough to recommend and use us again. It’s why so many Brighton households call when they need plumbing help they can trust.
What should I do if all the toilets in my Brighton home back up at once?
If every toilet in your Brighton home is affected, it usually means the main sewer line is blocked. That kind of blocked sewer won’t clear with a plunger and needs urgent professional help.
The first step is simple: stop using your toilets to avoid an overflow, and call us straight away. We’ll respond promptly with the right equipment to clear the line and get your bathrooms working again.
Our emergency plumbing services are available across Melbourne, including Brighton, so you won’t be left waiting. Families often tell us what a relief it is to have a plumber arrive on time, explain what’s happening, and provide great service when things are stressful.
What happens if you find cracked or collapsed pipes while fixing my toilet in Brighton?
Sometimes what looks like a simple toilet blockage turns out to be a bigger problem. In older Brighton homes, clay pipes can crack, collapse, or fill with roots. When that happens, toilets can’t drain properly, and what starts as a drain blockage quickly becomes a full sewer blockage.
If we find this while clearing your toilet, we’ll explain it clearly on site and show you what’s going on. You’ll get three options to choose from, each with fixed pricing, so you can decide whether you want a short-term repair or a long-term fix.
Our burst water pipe solutions are backed by an experienced team that knows how to handle major repairs safely and effectively. Whatever you choose, you’ll stay in control of the decision.
Do you offer long-term solutions for Brighton homes with repeat toilet blockages?
Yes, we do. Some Brighton homes — especially those with cracked clay pipes or tree-lined streets — end up with the same toilet problems again and again. In those cases, simply plunging or jetting the line won’t last.
Our blocked drain specialists can recommend longer-term fixes. This might include replacing damaged sections of pipe or pipe relining services, which repair the pipe from the inside without needing to dig up your yard.
We’ve built a reputation for clearing blocked drains properly and providing the best service for Brighton households. That means finding solutions that stop repeat problems and keep your plumbing working the way it should.
Are Brighton’s heritage overlays an issue when repairing sewer lines connected to toilets?
They can be. Many older Brighton homes fall under heritage overlays, which means certain works — especially anything affecting the structure or external appearance of the property — may need extra care or approval. This doesn’t usually stop us from fixing a toilet problem, but it does mean we approach repairs with more planning.
Our team works to Victorian plumbing standards and keeps the job professional and thorough from start to finish. We make sure repairs are compliant, safe, and suited to the property. And when we’re done, you can expect us to leave the site clean and tidy, so your home is respected as much as the work itself.
Can old clay pipes in Brighton be repaired, or do they need full replacement?
Brighton has plenty of homes still running on old clay sewer pipes, and they’re one of the main causes of toilet problems. The good news is that a full replacement isn’t always necessary. Often, a CCTV drain camera inspection will show exactly where the issue lies — whether it’s a crack, a joint letting roots in, or a section that’s collapsed.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we can either repair the damaged section or replace only what’s needed. In some cases, relining is also an option. We’ll explain each choice clearly so you can decide what’s best for your home and budget. Many Brighton families who’ve gone through this process tell us they’d definitely recommend it, because it gives peace of mind without unnecessary disruption to their drain or sewer system.

You’ll see our vans in neighbouring spots like Hampton and Moorabbin too, looking after families with the same mix of old pipes, tree-lined streets, and busy bathrooms.
