What's Involved in Leaking Tap Repair
- You describe which tap, and roughly how long it's been dripping.
- We book a time that works, or attend sooner if it's worsened.
- The plumber isolates the tap and opens it up to inspect it.
- We identify the actual worn part, washer, cartridge, O-ring or seat.
- You get a fixed price for the fix before we proceed.
- We replace the part, test it, and confirm the drip's gone.
When This Problem Can't Wait
Most dripping taps can wait for a sensible time, but a few situations move it up the list.
- The tap won't fully shut off no matter how hard it's turned.
- Water's pooling around the base of the fitting itself.
- A mixer that keeps running on its own after use.
- The drip has started staining the sink, bath or nearby cabinetry.
Leaking Tap Repair and Westmead's Older Housing
Housing near The Children's Hospital at Westmead and through the wider precinct is a real mix, freestanding houses, townhouses and low-rise units all within a few streets of each other.
That mix means we see everything from older chrome mixers with a washer and seat, through to modern single-lever cartridge taps in newer apartments.
Each style fails differently, so knowing which one you've actually got before opening it up saves a second trip for the right part.
Older mixer taps tend to announce themselves early, a slow drip that gets steadily worse. Newer cartridge taps in units more often go from fine to fully leaking with barely any warning.
Leaking Tap Repair Pricing, Explained Upfront
The tap type and the part needed move the number, not how simple the job looks.
- Which internal part has actually failed, and how it's replaced.
- The tap brand and how easily matching parts are sourced.
- Access, particularly on an outdoor or laundry tap.
- Whether the tap body itself needs replacing rather than just the part.
You'll know the figure before any part gets replaced, whichever type of tap it turns out to be.
The Process, From Quote to Warranty
You call about the leaking tap repair mid-chaos and we bring the calm.
A licensed plumber arrives, steadies things, and assesses the leaking tap repair.
You get a clear fixed leaking tap repair price with no pressure to decide on the spot.
We fix the leaking tap repair properly, and a lifetime labour warranty backs the repair.
A washer or cartridge swap is one of the quickest jobs on our books. Sourcing a match for an older mixer near the health precinct occasionally stretches things out, and you'll hear about that before we start, not after.
Done Right, and Done to Code
Replacing a washer yourself is fine; anything involving disconnecting supply lines or altering fixed pipework is licensed plumbing work in NSW.
Our plumbers hold Lic #465156C, and every leaking tap repair we do meets current plumbing code, not just "good enough for now."
Why Westmead Trusts Us With This
A dripping tap feels minor until the water bill arrives, and people mostly want it fixed once, properly, not patched again in a few months.
We carry parts for both older and newer tap styles, so one visit is usually enough regardless of which era your bathroom or kitchen belongs to.
A repair that's genuinely fixed also means one less thing running up your water bill quietly in the background.
Related Jobs and the Areas We Cover
A tap that's stopped shutting off completely can tip into a burst or leaking pipe situation, worth mentioning when you call. We service Westmead through to Parramatta, Wentworthville, Northmead and Granville on the same terms.

Common questions
Leaking Tap Repair: The Questions People Ask
A few things worth knowing before you book one in.
Will you tell me why leaking tap repair was needed?
Always. We'll show you the worn washer, cartridge or seal before we replace it, so you understand what actually failed and why.
How do you carry out leaking tap repair?
We isolate the tap, open it up, and check the washer, O-rings, cartridge and seat depending on the tap type. Most drips come down to one of those parts wearing out.
Is there a fee to come out for leaking tap repair?
No, $0 call-out fee applies here too. You only pay for the repair once it's quoted and agreed.
Do you do leaking tap repair after hours?
Yes, our on-call team takes tap repair calls any hour, though most people book these in for a convenient time since it's rarely urgent. Same honest pricing either way.
Do you do leaking tap repair on ageing pipework?
Regularly. Older tap bodies and fittings sometimes need a slightly different part or approach than a modern mixer, and our plumbers carry stock for both.
What happens if leaking tap repair turns out bigger than expected?
If it turns out the tap body itself or the wall plumbing behind it is the real issue, we'll stop and requote before going further. You approve any extra work first.
