When to Call
- Dripping tap that won't stop even when turned off hard
- Toilet running continuously or cycling on and off
- Tap handle hard to turn or seized
- Water hammer (banging pipes) when taps are turned off
- Low water pressure at a single fixture
Prevention Tips
- Don't overtighten taps - forcing them shut damages the washer and seat, causing drips sooner
- Fix dripping taps promptly - a single dripping tap wastes up to 20,000 litres per year
- Jiggling the toilet handle to stop running is a sign the flush valve or inlet valve needs replacing - quick to fix now, saves thousands in water bills later
- If you have hard water, descale showerheads and aerators every 6 months with white vinegar
- Check under sinks regularly for dampness - small leaks caught early are cheap to fix, water damage is not
Common Questions
Tap & Toilet Repairs FAQ
Usually not. A running toilet is typically a worn inlet valve or flush seal - we'll quote upfront before starting. Worth fixing quickly though - a running toilet can waste 25,000+ litres per quarter, which adds up on your water bill.
Most mixer taps can be repaired by replacing the ceramic cartridge - much cheaper than a new tap. If the tap body itself is corroded or the cartridge is obsolete, replacement is the way to go. We'll advise honestly.
If your taps are 15+ years old, yes. Modern WELS-rated fixtures use significantly less water without sacrificing pressure. The water savings often pay for the upgrade within a couple of years.
That's water hammer - caused by high water pressure or unsecured pipes. We can install a water hammer arrestor or pressure limiting valve to fix it. Left untreated, it can damage pipe joints over time.
A washer or cartridge replacement is typically a quick job; a full tap or cistern replacement costs more depending on the fixture. We quote after inspecting — you agree to the price before we start. $0 callout fee during business hours. A dripping tap wastes up to 20,000 litres per year, so it's worth fixing promptly.
