About This Service

All Tap Types Repaired or Replaced

A single dripping tap can waste over 20,000 litres of water per year. Beyond the water bill impact, worn washers and O-rings can damage the tap seat over time, eventually requiring a full replacement. The good news: tap repairs are usually quick, affordable, and done in a single visit.

Our plumbers carry washer sets, O-rings, ceramic cartridges and common replacement taps in our work vehicles, so we can handle most tap repairs on the spot. Whether it's a heritage bathroom tap or a modern pull-out kitchen mixer, we have the parts and knowledge to fix it right.

  • All tap types: pillar, mixer, ball, lever and ceramic disc
  • Washer, O-ring and cartridge replacement
  • Tap re-seat and re-grind
  • New tap supply and installation
  • Kitchen, bathroom, laundry, garden and outdoor taps

Warning Signs

Signs You Need This Service

Don't ignore these warning signs — acting early saves money and prevents further damage.

Dripping When Turned Off

A tap that continues to drip after being turned off has worn internal components that need replacing.

Hard to Turn or Stiff

Difficulty turning a tap on or off usually means worn or corroded internals — before they cause a flood.

Leaking from Base of Spout

Water pooling around the base of a mixer tap indicates worn O-rings — a quick and inexpensive fix.

Squeaking or Grinding Noise

These sounds indicate metal-on-metal contact from a worn ceramic disc or damaged spindle.

Rising Water Bill

If your bill is up and you can't identify where the water is going, a slow dripping tap may be the culprit.

Rust or Discolouration

Rust-coloured water from a specific tap can indicate corrosion inside the fitting — time for a replacement.
