Repair or replace your tap?
A leaking tap may only need a replacement washer, seal or cartridge. If the tap is badly worn, corroded or repeatedly leaking, replacement may offer better value.
We'll assess its condition and explain your options so you can choose what suits your home and budget.

Leaking Tap Questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.
How much does a leaking tap repair cost?
The price depends on the tap's condition and the parts required. We assess the problem, explain whether repair or replacement makes sense and provide upfront pricing before work begins.
Why does my tap still drip after replacing the washer?
A damaged tap seat, worn spindle or incorrect washer could be responsible. Mixer taps typically use a cartridge to control water flow. We'll identify the cause rather than repeatedly replacing parts.
Can you install a tap I've already purchased?
We can assess customer-supplied taps for suitability. Tell us the brand, model and where it will be installed when booking. We'll confirm compatibility and provide an installation price before starting.
Can you come today?
Same-day appointments are available, subject to availability. Call 0448 984 771 to confirm a time. If the tap won't shut off, close its isolation valve if safe and accessible, or turn off the water at the meter. Do not force a stuck valve.
Why does my shower head drip after use?
Brief dripping can be residual water draining from the shower head. Persistent dripping may indicate a worn washer, cartridge or another tap fault that needs attention.
Why does my tap squeal or vibrate?
Worn or loose components, restricted flow or water pressure issues can cause noise and vibration. We'll assess the tap and recommend a suitable repair.
Can you replace my kitchen tap?
Yes. We remove the existing tap, install the replacement and test the connections for leaks. We also check the condition of accessible flexible hoses and discuss any recommended replacements.
