What's Involved in Leaking Tap Repair
Washer replacement. The most common fix for an old-style tap that's started dripping from the spout.
Cartridge or valve replacement. Modern mixer taps use a cartridge that wears out and needs swapping rather than a simple washer.
Wall or body repair. Where the leak's actually coming from the fitting itself, not the tap handle, which needs a different approach entirely.
Each of these looks similar from across the kitchen, dripping at the spout, but they're fixed in different ways, which is why we check the actual cause before quoting anything.

When This Problem Can't Wait
A dripping tap rarely floods a house, but a few situations push it up the priority list.
- It's dripping fast enough that you can hear it from another room
- The leak's coming from the base or the wall, not just the spout
- It won't fully shut off no matter how hard you turn it
- Water's starting to pool or stain around the fitting
None of these are emergencies in the burst-pipe sense, but a tap that won't shut off properly can waste a genuine amount of water while it waits.

Leaking Tap Repair and Parklea's Older Housing
Brick-veneer construction dominates Parklea's older streets, and the taps fitted during that build era were largely a fairly standard washer-and-spindle design, simple by today's standards but well worn by now.
Rendered finishes on some of the newer homes complicate things slightly, since a wall-mounted mixer set into render needs a more careful hand than one on an exposed pipe. Either way, matching the repair to the actual fitting matters more than forcing a generic part onto it.

Honest Pricing for Leaking Tap Repair
- Whether it's a washer, a cartridge, or the tap body itself
- Wall-mounted versus bench-mounted fittings
- Whether matching parts are readily available for an older tap style
- Access, particularly around rendered or tiled wall fittings
Because so many of Parklea's brick-veneer homes share the same era of tap fitting, we usually know which parts to bring before we've even opened the cupboard under the sink. Honest pricing with no surprises means that figure is what lands on the invoice.

The Process, From Quote to Warranty
- We take your call, get the key details of the leaking tap repair problem, and arrange a visit.
- A licensed plumber assesses leaking tap repair on site and pins down the real cause.
- You get a fixed price for leaking tap repair upfront, agreed before any work starts.
- We complete the leaking tap repair work, with the labour backed by our lifetime warranty.
Because parts for common tap styles across Parklea's brick-veneer homes are usually already on the van, most repairs finish in one visit rather than needing a return trip for a special-order part.

The Rules That Apply in NSW
A homeowner can legally replace a simple washer. Anything past that, touching the fitting's body, its wall connection, or needing the water isolated further back in the system, sits with a licensed plumber under NSW rules.
Gas cooktop or hot water taps involving gas fittings are a different matter again, and always go to a licensed gas fitter.
We carry both plumbing and gas-fitting licences, so switching between the two mid-job is never an issue.

What Sets Our Work Apart
A drip left too long wears the fitting further and wastes water the whole time, so we treat even a "minor" leak seriously rather than bumping it down the list.
We're licensed plumbers and gas fitters who match the part to the actual tap, not a universal fix that half-works.

Servicing Nearby Homes Too
If the tap's fine but something else is leaking or a drain's backing up, our burst & leaking pipes and blocked drains pages cover those separately.
We work right across Parklea, including near Parklea Correctional Centre on Sentry Drive, and out to Glenwood and Kellyville as well.

Common questions
Questions We Get About Leaking Tap Repair
Do you do leaking tap repair after hours?
Yes. A dripping tap isn't usually an emergency, but we still take after-hours calls for it if the noise or the waste is bothering you enough to want it sorted straight away.
Can I legally do leaking tap repair myself?
A simple washer swap is fine for most homeowners. Anything involving the tap body, the wall fitting or a mixer cartridge that's seized is better left to a licensed plumber.
Is leaking tap repair my responsibility or the water authority's?
The tap and everything feeding it inside your home is your responsibility. It only becomes the water authority's concern if the fault sits out on the street-side main.
Will you tell me why leaking tap repair was needed?
Always. Whether it's a worn washer, a scored valve seat or a tired cartridge, we'll show you what failed and why before we replace it.
How do I prepare for a leaking tap repair callout?
Nothing much needed. If you know roughly how old the tap is or whether it's been fixed before, that helps us bring the right parts.
Can I get the $65 off my first service on leaking tap repair?
Yes, the $65 off applies to any first service booked online, tap repairs included.
