Leaking Tap Repair, From Assessment to Fix
We check the fitting first, not just tighten it. A tap that keeps dripping after tightening almost always has a worn washer, cartridge or spindle underneath, and that's what actually needs replacing.
We match the part to the tap. Older mixer taps and newer ceramic-disc taps use different internals, so we carry a range of parts rather than guessing on the day.
We check the whole fitting once it's repaired. A tap that still weeps at the base after a repair usually points to a worn seal, and we'd rather catch that on the spot than have you call us back.
When to Call Us About Leaking Tap Repair
A dripping tap rarely needs a same-day call. That said, a couple of things push it up the priority list.
- A steady drip that's audible even with the tap fully off
- A tap that's started leaking from the base of the handle, not the spout
- Water pooling under the sink from a supply connection near the tap
- A mixer tap that's become hard to turn or feels loose
- Rising water bills with no other obvious explanation
Why Toongabbie Properties Call Us for This
Density here sits in the medium range, a legacy of the standalone houses built through the mid-century years, topped up by townhouses and duplexes that arrived later around the station and Aurelia Street shopping precinct. Tap wear shows up differently depending on which one you're in.
Older houses closer to the original village centre around Aurelia Street tend to have taps that are original or close to it, so washers and spindles are well past their expected life. Newer townhouses generally have ceramic-disc mixer taps, which fail less often but need a specific cartridge when they do.
A left-on-too-tight compression tap is often what finishes off an old washer early, so we see a fair share of repeat visits to the same fittings in houses that have never been updated. It's a small job each time, but it adds up if the underlying tap never gets replaced.
Honest Pricing for Leaking Tap Repair
Tap repairs are one of the more straightforward jobs we do, and the pricing reflects that.
- Whether it's a washer, cartridge or full tap replacement
- Single or mixer tap, since the parts differ
- Access under the sink or behind the fitting
- Any additional plumbing found while we're there
We'll walk you through the cost before we start, and it won't move once you've agreed to it.
Free quotes, $0 call-out, and nothing added to the invoice afterwards.
The Process, From Quote to Warranty
- You call about the leaking tap repair, we answer, and the stress starts to ease.
- A licensed local plumber turns up and takes the leaking tap repair off your plate.
- You approve a fixed price, then we get on with the leaking tap repair.
- We leave it tidy, with the leaking tap repair labour guaranteed for life.
A leaking tap repair on older Aurelia Street-era fittings can take a little longer if the tap body itself has corroded around the worn part, so we check that before we quote.
Licensed Work, Done to Standard
Once it's more than a simple handle tighten, repairing or replacing a tap's internal fittings is licensed work in this state. Older compression taps and newer mixer fittings are both covered by the same rule.
We hold Lic #465156C, and the plumber who turns up is insured for exactly the job in front of them.
Why Toongabbie Trusts Us With This
A leaking tap is a small job, but it's still worth doing properly, and that's how we treat it.
We carry parts for both older and newer tap styles, so we're rarely coming back for a second visit. And because we're on call 24/7, booking it in around your day is easy.
There's no upsell push either. If a washer swap will genuinely fix it, that's what we'll quote, not a full tap replacement you don't need yet.

Common questions
Your Leaking Tap Repair FAQs
A few things worth clearing up before you book a leaking tap repair.
How do you carry out leaking tap repair?
We check the tap's washer, cartridge or spindle to find what's actually worn, then fit the right part. Most leaks come down to one failed component, not the whole tap.
Is there a fee to come out for leaking tap repair?
No, there's a $0 call-out fee whether or not you go ahead once we've quoted. You only pay the fixed price we agree for the repair itself.
Do I need a licensed plumber for leaking tap repair?
For anything beyond tightening a loose handle, yes. Replacing a washer or cartridge properly, especially on newer mixer taps, is licensed plumbing work in NSW.
When should I call about leaking tap repair?
Whenever it's bothering you, honestly. It's rarely an emergency, but the sooner it's fixed, the less water and money it wastes in the meantime.
Are you available for leaking tap repair out of hours?
Yes, we're on call 24/7 for this like everything else, though most people book a leaking tap in for a convenient time rather than the middle of the night.
Is leaking tap repair a true emergency?
Usually not, unless the tap's actually stuck open or spraying. A slow drip can wait for a booking that suits you, and we'll always tell you honestly if it can.
