Michelle T.
Absolute legends! Had a busted pipe under the sink and water was everywhere. Gave these guys a buzz and they were at my place in no time. Super friendly, knew exactly what they were doing. Fixed it up and didn’t charge an arm and a leg.
James K.
Ripper service from start to finish. Called late on a Sunday afternoon thinking I’d have to wait 'til Monday, but they rocked up within the hour! Sorted my blocked loo faster that I expected. Fair pricing too. Top blokes, highly recommend!
Olivia M.
Can’t speak highly enough of these guys. Our hot water system carked it and with two kids at home, we were desperate. They came out same day, sorted everything, and even cleaned up after themselves. Honest, reliable and just good, old-fashioned service.

No plumbing job too small

Dripping taps

The classic. A worn washer on an older tap or a failed ceramic cartridge on a quarter turn. Cheap to fix, and it stops the drip plus the staining it leaves in the basin.

Tap replacement and upgrades

New kitchen mixer, a matching set for a bathroom renovation, or swapping tired chrome for something better. We supply and install, or install what you have already bought.

Outdoor and garden taps

Garden taps cop the weather and get bumped by hoses, so they leak more than anything else in the house. We repair, replace and reseal them, including hose cock and wall mounted types.

Low or uneven water pressure

A tap that has gone weak is often just a blocked aerator full of sediment. Sometimes it is an isolation valve partly closed or scale in the line. We find out which rather than guessing.

Why Melbourne calls us for leaking taps

A leaking tap is the job most plumbers do not want, which is why people get quoted silly money or wait two weeks for a callback. We treat it as a real job, price it fairly, and turn up when we said we would. Line up a few taps at once and it is one of the cheapest things you can do for your water bill.

The tap will not shut off or water is spraying

A tap stuck running, water spraying from the body, or a tap that has sheared off in your hand. Shut the water off at the main tap out front and ring us. This one does not wait, because the only thing stopping it is the mains valve.

A steady drip, or water leaking under the sink

A constant drip is money going down the drain, and a leak in the cupboard under the sink is doing quiet damage to the cabinetry and the floor underneath. Neither will fix itself and the hot tap version costs you twice, in water and in gas or electricity.

Book it in

Stiff handles, weak flow or a tap that squeals

A handle you have to lean on, flow that has dropped off, or a squeal when you turn it. Nothing is leaking yet, but these are the warning signs before one does. Easy jobs to bundle together if you have a few around the house.

Our Leaking Taps Guarantee

Upfront pricing and honest work on every job

You get the price before we start, not after the job is done. We look at the tap, tell you whether it is a washer, a cartridge or a tap that has reached the end, and quote it as one fixed figure. No hourly rate ticking over, no call out fee, and no surcharge for weekends. If you have a few taps that need doing, say so when you book and we will price them together rather than charging you like it is four separate visits.

Leaking Taps FAQ

The things people ask us most about taps that drip, stick or lose pressure.

How much water does a dripping tap actually waste?

A tap dripping about once a second gets through somewhere in the order of twenty thousand litres a year. Fast enough to run a thin stream and it is far more than that. On a hot tap you are also paying to heat every litre, which is why hot taps are the ones worth fixing first.

Why does my tap still drip after a new washer?

Usually because the seat the washer sits against is pitted or scored, so the new washer cannot make a seal. The seat needs resurfacing, or in a worn tap body it means the tap itself is done. It can also happen if the wrong washer size or material was fitted.

What is the difference between a washer tap and a ceramic disc tap?

A washer tap is the older style where you turn the handle several times and a rubber washer presses onto a seat. A ceramic disc or quarter turn tap moves from off to full on in a quarter turn, using two ceramic discs instead of a washer. Washer taps get a new washer, ceramic taps get a new cartridge. Different parts, similar job.

Can you fix a leaking mixer tap or does it need replacing?

Most mixers are repairable. The cartridge is the usual culprit and they are replaceable on nearly all the major brands. Where it gets harder is cheap imported tapware with no parts available, and in that case replacing the tap is the only sensible path. We will tell you which one you have before you spend anything.

Can I just replace the washer myself?

You can on a standard washer tap, if you shut the water off first and have the right size washer. Where people come unstuck is overtightening and damaging the seat, which turns a five dollar fix into a new tap, or finding the tap is a ceramic cartridge type and not a washer at all. If it is still dripping after your go, the seat is usually the reason.

My taps bang when I turn them off. What causes that?

Water hammer. The water column stops suddenly and the shock travels back through the pipework. It can be loose pipes that need clipping, a worn washer, high mains pressure, or a missing arrestor. It is worth sorting, because the repeated shock loosens fittings and eventually causes a leak somewhere.

Why has the water pressure dropped at one tap?

If it is only one tap, nine times out of ten it is a blocked aerator at the spout, full of sediment or scale. Unscrewing and cleaning it fixes it. If every tap in the house has dropped off, it is something on the main, and that is a different job.
