We fix leaking taps every day

We’ve repaired every type of leaking tap Melbourne has to offer. Whether it’s a simple washer or a corroded spindle, we diagnose the cause and fix it right the first time. Our fully licensed plumbers carry parts for most tap brands and arrive ready to work.

Dripping kitchen and bathroom taps

A steady drip can waste thousands of litres a year. We’ll stop it at the source and ensure the tap runs smoothly again. You’ll also reduce the chance of water staining, mould growth and fixture damage.

Mixer taps and quarter-turn taps

These newer styles need specific components and care. We handle delicate cartridges and seals with precision. Our plumbers ensure your mixer operates like new with smooth action and balanced flow.

Outdoor taps and garden fittings

Melbourne’s weather can cause outdoor taps to degrade quickly. We’ll repair or replace them to stop water waste. Our team uses weather-resistant parts for long-lasting results even in exposed areas.

Tap replacements

Sometimes repair isn’t enough. We can replace worn or outdated taps with modern, efficient fixtures that suit your style and water-saving goals. We’ll also ensure your new tap is installed cleanly and functions perfectly from the first use.

Common causes of leaking taps

Wondering why your tap is leaking? These are the issues we often fix, and we’ve seen them across Melbourne homes.

Worn washers and O-rings

These rubber components wear out over time, causing drips and poor water flow. Replacing them restores full function. Left unchecked, they can cause water damage to cabinetry and flooring around the sink.

Loose fittings and spindles

Vibration or wear can loosen tap parts, leading to leaks around handles or spouts. We tighten or replace parts to stop the drip. Ensuring a snug, proper seal can also help maintain your tap’s lifespan and performance.

Damaged mixer cartridges

Mixer taps often leak when internal cartridges degrade. We replace faulty cartridges with precision and care. A faulty cartridge can also cause temperature irregularities and restrict water pressure.

Corrosion and age

Older taps made from cheaper materials eventually break down. If a tap is beyond repair, we’ll recommend a cost-effective replacement. Corroded taps may also cause water discolouration or metal residue in your sink.

Emergency leaking tap service

Some tap leaks need urgent attention, especially if they’re causing water damage or mould. We offer fast leaking tap service across Melbourne to help keep your home safe. Our licensed emergency plumbers are equipped to respond quickly and resolve urgent tap issues before they escalate.
