Before we arrive

Stop a Dripping Tap Until We Arrive

  1. 01

    Close the Isolation Valve

    Most sinks and basins have small valves on the hot and cold lines underneath. Turn the one feeding the drip clockwise.

  2. 02

    Do Not Force the Handle

    Cranking a washer tap tighter crushes the washer and can damage the seat. Close it firmly, then leave it.

  3. 03

Tap repairs explained

Taps, Mixers and Hoses

A dripping tap rarely fixes itself. A slow drip wastes water every hour it runs, marks the basin and usually gets worse as the worn part breaks down. Most tap problems in Brisbane homes come down to a handful of parts, and once we know which tap you have, the fix is usually straightforward.

Why taps drip

Older two-handle taps shut off by pressing a rubber washer onto a brass seat. Over time the washer hardens and the seat wears, so water slips past even with the handle turned tight. We replace the washer and, where the seat is pitted, reface it so the new washer seals. Quarter-turn and ceramic disc taps use a cartridge instead, which we swap for a matching one.

Mixers and cartridges

Single-lever mixers rely on a cartridge that controls flow and temperature. When a mixer drips from the spout, weeps at the base or the lever goes stiff, the cartridge or its o-rings are usually to blame. If parts are available, a repair is often sensible. If the body is corroded, we will tell you plainly and price a replacement.

The flood risk under your sink

Most mixers and toilets connect with braided flexi hoses. Inside the braid is a rubber hose that perishes with age, and when one gives way it can let go at full mains pressure. Replace a hose straight away if the braid is rusty or frayed, has a bulge, is kinked or is damp at the nuts. If we are there for a tap, ask us to check the other hoses too.

Fitting tapware you have bought

Happy to install tapware you have chosen. Check the new mixer suits the number of holes in your sink or benchtop, and for wall taps, the fittings behind the wall. If only one tap has poor flow, the cause is usually a blocked aerator, a partly closed valve or a kinked hose.

Every tap job comes with a fixed price before work starts and our lifetime workmanship guarantee. Joseph Tornatore is a fully licensed plumber and gas fitter, and we look after homes and rentals across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands and Moreton Bay.

FAQ

Tap Repair FAQs

Quick answers about taps, mixers and flexi hoses.

Can you install tapware I bought myself?

Yes. We regularly fit customer supplied mixers, basin sets and shower tapware. Send us the model before you buy if you can, so we can confirm it suits your sink or wall fittings.

Should I repair a dripping tap or replace it?

Most drips are a worn washer or cartridge and are worth repairing. If the tap is corroded, cracked or parts are no longer made, a new tap is the better option.

How often should flexi hoses be replaced?

There is no single date for every hose. Replace any hose showing rust, fraying, bulging or kinks, and have older hoses checked.

Why is the pressure low at just one tap?

It is usually a blocked aerator, a partly closed isolation valve or a kinked hose. If every tap is weak, the problem is more likely in the supply.

Do you charge to quote a tap job?

Quotes are free. A photo of the tap helps us price it quickly, and you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you fix outdoor and garden taps?

Yes. We replace leaking hose taps, fix taps that will not shut off and can move or add an outside tap where you need it.
