Washer and Seat Repairs
A dripping tap usually traces to a worn washer or a damaged seat, so we pull the head apart, reface or swap the parts and reassemble it properly under pressure.

Tap Repairs in Local Homes
A tap that drips, grinds or leaks at the base is a small job with a real cost attached, and it is one of the most common calls we run.
Most faults trace back to a handful of worn parts. Washers, seats, spindles, O-rings and cartridges cover the overwhelming majority of tap calls, and most of those parts ride on the van with us.
If the leak is showing up around a shower or bath set, our bathroom plumbing page covers the wet-area side of the work. And if water is appearing somewhere no tap can explain, leak detection is the page for that.
What the Housing Stock Means for Taps
Compression taps in the older streets
The late-1960s subdivision wave created the first residential blocks here, meaning many homes on the original grid still carry their first compression tap sets, with washers, spindles and seats all worn out together after decades of daily turning.
Mixers in the newer builds
Townhouse projects around School Road and Brickworks Road mostly specify ceramic-disc mixers, which behave differently: they drip when the cartridge fails, and they need the correct replacement cartridge rather than a generic washer.
Mostly houses on the ground
At the last census, 74.3 per cent of dwellings here were separate houses, so garden taps, hose points and laundry troughs are part of the ordinary run of jobs we get called to.
Tap Services We Carry Out
Tap work splits into a few familiar jobs, and we stock the parts for all of them:
Mixer Tap Cartridges
Kitchen and bathroom mixers drip from failed cartridges rather than washers, so we match the correct replacement cartridge, swap the seals and spout O-rings, and test the handle action smoothly.
Outdoor Taps and Hose Points
Garden taps and hose points cop the sun and the weather year round, so we reseal leaking bodies, replace worn spindles and fit new points where the garden needs one.
Shower and Bath Tapware
Wall bath sets, shower diverters and bath spouts need their own treatment, because a diverter that will not switch cleanly sends your shower water straight to the bath spout instead.
Tap Replacements
When a tap body is corroded through or its parts are obsolete, replacement is the honest answer, and we install your chosen tapware and pressure test every connection before leaving.
Laundry and Sink Tapwork
Sink sets, spouts and under-sink stop valves come under the same visit, so a dripping laundry tap and a weeping stop valve get sorted together without a second trip.

Common Tap Problems
Four faults cover most of the tap calls we get:
The Drip That Will Not Stop
A tap that keeps dripping after you shut it off hard usually has a perished washer or a scored seat, and cranking it harder only chews the seat further still.
Stiff Handles and Grinding
Handles that grind or take two hands to turn point to mineral build-up or a failing spindle, and forcing them snaps internal parts that were otherwise a straightforward repair job.
Leaks Around the Base
Water pooling around the tap body or under the sink means a failed O-ring, a perished flange or a loose connection, and none of it improves with more tightening either.
Banging and Noisy Pipes
Hammering when a tap closes can trace back to a loose jumper valve, a worn washer or water pressure that needs a limiting valve fitted to settle the pipework down.
Why a Dripping Tap Matters
It's easy to live with a dripping tap for months, and that's exactly how a small job turns into a bigger one:
The water adds up
A single tap left dripping loses litres every day it runs, and a garden tap weeping through a humid summer wastes far more than most people guess.
The damage spreads quietly
A slow leak under a sink or behind a vanity soaks cabinetry and skirtings long before it shows on the surface, and repairs to both cost more than the tap ever would have.
Small faults grow
A scored seat or a failing spindle gets worse every time the tap is used, until a part worth a few dollars takes the whole tap body with it.

Tap Repair Questions
Call (07) 3523 6428Why does my Kallangur tap keep dripping after I've shut it off?
In the older brick homes here the usual culprit is a washer that has perished or a seat scored by years of turning, and we reface or renew it properly on the visit.
Can one dripping tap really show up on my Unitywater bill?
It can, because a tap that drips steadily wastes water every hour it runs, and the Unitywater meter on your property records all of it, so the cost builds across a quarter.
Do the newer townhouses near School Road use different taps?
They mostly run ceramic-disc mixers rather than compression taps, so a drip means a cartridge replacement, and we carry the common cartridge sizes so the job finishes in one visit.
Does Unitywater or the City of Moreton Bay look after my garden tap?
No, the public water mains beyond your boundary are Unitywater's, but the tap, its pipework and all fixtures past the connection point belong to the property owner.
What drives the cost of a tap repair?
The tap type, the parts it needs and how easily we can reach the pipework all shape the price, and every job gets a fixed quote in writing before any work starts.
