About Us
At Waiboys Plumbing, we bring over 45 years of combined experience in plumbing, gasfitting, and drainlaying to every job. Since 2017 we’ve proudly served Hamilton and the Waikato, and some of you may remember us as Aquaholics Hamilton.
From a leaky tap to a large commercial project, we tackle every job with the same care, attention to detail, and focus on lasting results. For us, good plumbing is about problem-solving and giving our customers confidence that the work has been done right.
Our team is approachable, professional, and committed to quality. We use reliable gear and modern techniques to ensure our solutions stand the test of time, while keeping service simple with clear communication, fair pricing, and results that work for you.
Whether you need urgent help or are planning ahead, you can count on Waiboys to show up, do the job properly, and deliver plumbing you don’t need to worry about.
Why we chose the name WaiBoys:
Wai stands for water, the heart of our craft, and is a nod to our origins with Aquaholics. Wai also represents Waikato, the region we're proud to call home.
Boys reflects our team - the hardworking crew you rely on.
It's a playful nod to 'Waterboys' and a natural evolution from Aquaholics. It tells a clear story about who we are today and where we're headed.
