Tap & Toilet Repairs in Maroubra

Low pressure in older Maroubra homes usually comes down to one of a few causes: scale and corrosion narrowing the original copper or galvanised pipework, a partially closed isolation valve at the meter, aerator buildup at the tap, or in some cases a pressure-limiting valve that's failed in the wrong direction. We start at the meter to confirm the supply pressure is what it should be, then work through the system to find where the restriction is. Many low-pressure complaints are quick fixes once the cause is identified. If the original pipework is the bottleneck, we'll show you the options for partial or whole-home re-piping.

Yes. Running toilets are usually a worn inlet valve or flush seal, both inexpensive parts we carry in the van. Same-day service is standard, and we're ten minutes from most of Maroubra by van from our Coogee base. A running toilet is worth fixing quickly because a continuously running cistern can waste 25,000 litres or more per quarter, which shows up on the water bill. $0 callout fee during business hours. We can invoice the landlord, property manager, or owner directly if it's a rental situation.

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 If the tap body itself is corroded or the cartridge is obsolete, replacement is the way to go.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.
