Bunbury & South West
WATER TANK REPAIRS IN BUNBURY
Liners, roofs and bands for concrete and steel tanks through the South West, from a crew that drives down regularly.
Short answer
Do you repair water tanks in Bunbury?
Yes. WA Tanks is Perth based and works through Bunbury and the wider South West on regular runs. Bunbury is roughly two hours from Perth, so it is one of our easier regional areas to reach. We fit concrete and steel liners, repair roofs and re-band concrete tanks.
Local conditions
What tanks do around Bunbury
Water and soil in the South West
The South West is one of the wetter corners of the state. Bunbury gets a real winter, and properties here fill their tanks quickly and then sit on that water through a dry summer. That cycle matters: a tank that fills fast and empties slowly hides a small leak for months, because the level keeps being topped up by rain.
Soils around the coastal plain are largely sand over clay. Sandy ground drains fast, so a leak often shows up as a soft patch rather than standing water, and it can be well away from where the hole actually is. Further inland the clay content rises, and clay moves with the seasons. That movement is what opens vertical cracks in older concrete tanks and slackens their bands.
Tree growth is heavy through this region. Roots under a steel tank base are the single most common cause of liner failure we see in the South West.
Typical tanks in this area
Around Bunbury we work on a mix of tank types: - Steel and colorbond rainwater tanks on rural residential blocks off scheme water - Larger steel tanks on dairy, beef and horticulture properties - Older concrete tanks on established farms, many built decades ago and now on their second or third liner - Firefighting supply tanks on bush blocks, which have to be full when they are needed
Roof condition is often the first thing to go here. Wet winters and a humid airspace above stored water corrode the underside of the sheeting well before the top looks bad.
Travel and lead time from Perth
Bunbury is roughly 175 km south of Perth, about a two hour drive. That makes it a same day trip for a quote and an easy mobilisation for a repair.
We batch South West work so travel is shared between jobs rather than charged in full to each one. If you are flexible on the week, ask when the next run is going down. If you need a firm date we will book one. Either way travel is shown as a separate line on the quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

A Bunbury trip usually takes in the surrounding South West towns: - Busselton and Dunsborough - Margaret River and Augusta - Donnybrook and Balingup - Collie and Harvey - Manjimup, Pemberton and Bridgetown - Capel, Boyanup and Brunswick Junction
If your town is not listed, call anyway. We are usually passing closer than you would think.
