Dripping tap or tired tapware?

Most drips are a worn washer or cartridge, which is a quick fix. Where tapware is corroded or you want a new look, we install the replacement and check the connections.

The short answer: A dripping tap is usually a worn cartridge or washer, and it is a quick licensed fix. We repair and replace tapware in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries.

A dripping tap wastes water and only gets worse. Often it is a simple washer or ceramic cartridge; sometimes the tap is past it and a replacement is the better value.

Tapware is everyday plumbing for us, and we often pair it with toilet repairs on the same visit.

Repair the cartridge, or replace the tap?

If the body is sound we can often just replace the washer or cartridge. If it is corroded, leaking at the base, or you want to update the look, replacement is the call.

  • Washer taps
  • Ceramic disc mixers
  • Kitchen mixers
  • Bathroom tapware
  • Laundry taps

Ceramic disc mixers are smooth and long-lasting; older washer taps are cheap to re-seat. We will tell you which yours are and what makes sense.

Choosing tapware with a good water rating keeps running costs down without losing pressure where you want it.

Done properly, no surprise leaks

We fit tapware to the right standard, check the connections, and test it under pressure, so the only water you get is from the spout.

A tap is only as good as its connections. We make them properly and test before we leave, so there are no slow leaks behind the wall later.

Bring us the tapware you have chosen, or ask us to suggest something that suits the job.

It depends on whether it is a repair or a new install and the tapware chosen, so we quote up front. Request a quote and we will sort it.
