What we see

Common problems we're called for

Dripping from the spout

Worn washers or a scored seat on traditional taps; a worn cartridge in mixers. Both are quick, inexpensive fixes done right.

Leaking around the handle

O-rings and body washers — catch it early before water tracks into the cabinet or wall.

Seized or stiff taps

Common in holiday homes that sit unused and in salt-air suburbs. Usually serviceable without replacing the tapware.

Banging pipes when taps close

Water hammer — often fixable with arrestors or valve adjustment rather than living with it.

How we work

Straight answers, done properly

Older-style taps get new washers, seats machined and spindles serviced; mixers get genuine replacement cartridges. If the tapware itself has had it — corroded, seized or just tired — we'll say so and quote a replacement, including supply if you'd like us to bring quality units that handle Peninsula conditions.

We look after kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and outdoor garden taps, plus commercial tapware — pre-rinse units, timed-flow and accessible fixtures for cafés and business premises.

Questions

Leaking Taps & Mixers — FAQs

Is a dripping tap really worth a plumber's visit?
One drip per second is roughly 12,000 litres a year on your water bill — and the fix is quick. We'll usually bundle a few small jobs into the one visit so the callout earns its keep.
Can you supply the new tapware?
Yes — we can supply quality tapware that suits coastal conditions, or install fittings you've already bought. If you've purchased your own, we'll tell you honestly if it's a unit we'd stand behind.
Do you service outdoor and garden taps?
Yes — garden taps, hose taps and outdoor showers, including replacing corroded units that salt air has gotten to.
