What We Handle Under Leaking Tap Repair
A leaking tap is rarely just about the drip you can hear.
- Worn washers and O-rings causing a steady drip
- Failed ceramic disc cartridges in mixer taps
- A tap that won't fully shut off
- Corroded or seized spindles on older tap bodies
- Leaks from the base or handle rather than the spout
The Warning Signs Worth Acting On
- A drip that's audible even with the tap fully closed
- Water staining or mineral build-up around the base
- A handle that's stiff, loose, or spins without stopping the flow
- Rising water bills with no other explanation
- Mould or mildew forming under a sink from a slow leak
If the leak is coming from inside a wall rather than the tap itself, that's Water Leak Detection territory.
Leaking Tap Repair and St Marys's Older Housing
Saddington Street's mix of post-war cottages and later infill is typical of St Marys, where original tapware from the 1960s and 70s is still fitted in plenty of bathrooms and kitchens.
Those older tap bodies often use parts that newer hardware stores don't stock as standard, so matching a washer or cartridge can take a bit more know-how than a modern mixer tap.
We carry a decent range of fittings on the van precisely because of how much older tapware is still in use across streets like this one.
What Affects the Price of Leaking Tap Repair
- Whether it's a washer, cartridge, or full tap body needing replacement
- Age and style of the existing tap, and whether parts are common or unusual
- Access under a sink or behind a vanity
- Outdoor tap repairs versus one inside the house
Older tap styles like the ones still common on Saddington Street sometimes need a part sourced rather than pulled straight off the van, which can add a little to the number. Either way, it's fixed and agreed before we touch anything.
What to Expect on the Day
We take your call, get the key details of the leaking tap repair problem, and arrange a visit.
A licensed plumber assesses leaking tap repair on site and pins down the real cause.
You get a fixed price for leaking tap repair upfront, agreed before any work starts.
We complete the leaking tap repair work, with the labour backed by our lifetime warranty.
Most tap jobs, including ones needing a sourced part like the older styles around Saddington Street, are still done within a single visit.
Washer, Cartridge, or Whole Tap?
Most drips trace back to a worn washer on an older compression tap, a straightforward fix once we're under the sink.
Mixer taps usually run on a ceramic disc cartridge instead, which either seats properly or gets replaced outright, there's no in-between repair for a worn one.
Where the tap body itself is corroded or cracked, replacing the whole fitting is often more sensible than chasing a repair that won't hold.
Licensed Work, Done to Standard
Tap repairs sit at the simpler end of plumbing work, but touching the water supply line is still restricted to a licensed tradesperson in NSW, no matter how small the fix looks.
Even a job this small still has to meet the same plumbing code as a full repipe.
Straightforward and explained plainly, without turning a small job into unnecessary paperwork.
Outdoor Taps Count Too
A slow drip on an outdoor tap is easy to ignore since it's not inside the house, but it still adds up on the water bill over a season.
Older outdoor taps in particular often lack a backflow prevention device, something newer installs require by default.
We'll flag it if yours is missing and quote fitting one as part of the same visit.
What You Get When We Do This Job
The price we agree before we start is the price on the invoice, whatever the tap turns out to need.
First booking with us gets $65 off, taps included.
Kitchen and Bathroom, Different Jobs
A kitchen mixer sees far more daily use than a bathroom tap, so cartridges there tend to wear out sooner, sometimes within a few years rather than a decade or more.
Bathroom taps, especially in a spare room, can sit unused for long stretches and then seize up from lack of use rather than wear.
Either way, we carry common cartridge sizes on the van, so most kitchen and bathroom jobs don't need a second visit just to fetch a part.
Where Else We Help Around St Marys
Dripping taps show up in every part of St Marys and the streets around it, including Colyton, St Clair and Kingswood.

Common questions
Common Leaking Tap Repair Questions
What people usually want to know before booking a tap job.
Can you do a leaking tap repair the same day?
Usually, yes. It's a shorter job than most, so we can often slot it in same day alongside other calls.
Is leaking tap repair covered by your lifetime labour warranty?
Yes. Any tap we repair or replace is covered for as long as our workmanship is the reason it fails again.
Do you clean up after leaking tap repair?
Always. A tap job shouldn't leave more mess behind than the drip did.
How long does a leaking tap repair usually take?
Most washer or cartridge replacements are done within the hour. An older or unusual tap body can add a bit more time to source the right part.
Is a leaking tap my responsibility or the water authority's?
Taps inside your home are always the homeowner's responsibility. That side of things only shifts once you're out past the meter toward the street main.
Is the leaking tap repair quote fixed before work begins?
Yes. You'll know the price before we pick up a spanner, not after.
