House manners
How we behave in your home
Any plumber can clear a drain. The name on our van is a promise about everything around the job.
The price we quote is the price you pay.
Transparent pricing, no hidden fees — it's the promise the business was built on.
We turn up when we said we would.
And if the job before yours runs long, you get a call — not a no-show.
Your home is left cleaner than we found it.
Boots off or covered at the door. Drop sheets down. Mess gone with us.
You'll understand exactly what we did, and why.
Plain-English explanation with every job. No jargon, no upsell theatre.
At your service
What we can take off your plate
Leak repairs
Dripping taps, weeping pipes, mystery damp patches — found fast, fixed properly, explained plainly.
Drain cleaning
Slow basins and blocked drains cleared without drama — and without the mess left behind.
Hot water installs
Cylinder replacements and new hot water systems, sized right for your household and fitted tidily.
General home maintenance
26 years of trade experience means the small jobs around the house get done right, too.
The man on the van
One owner. One standard.
POLITE Plumbers is owner-operated by Steve Terblanche — 26 years of plumbing and home maintenance, based on Mokoia Road in Birkenhead.
When you call, you talk to the plumber. When we quote, it's the person doing the work pricing it. And when the job's done, the name it's signed with is the one that answers if anything ever needs a second look.
