Is It Time to Call a Plumber?
A dripping tap rarely needs an emergency callout, but it's worth sorting sooner than later.
A Quick Word on DIY
Swapping a washer yourself isn't illegal for a simple tap, and plenty of people do it. Where it goes wrong is stripping a fitting, cross-threading a connection, or not realising the whole fitting needs replacing rather than just its internals.
If you're not confident, calling us costs nothing to find out what's actually needed.
What Leaking Tap Repair Covers
Behind almost every drip sits one tired part: a perished rubber washer, a ceramic disc that no longer seals, or a spindle worn past holding the flow back. Working out which of the three has gone is the actual job, so we open the tap and look rather than swap on a hunch.
The internals vary by style of tap, and a quarter-turn mixer shares barely a component with a traditional screw-down tap. That's why one fix rarely suits the other, so we turn up stocked for both instead of betting on a single kit.
What's Included in the Visit
A proper repair covers more than swapping the obvious part. We check the tap body for corrosion or cracking, confirm the seat isn't damaged, and test the fitting under normal water pressure before calling the job finished.
If a tap's dripping from the base rather than the spout, that's usually an O-ring rather than a washer, a different fix entirely. Knowing the difference on arrival, rather than guessing, is why most of these jobs only need one visit.
Leaking Tap Repair Pricing, Explained Upfront
For a job this size, the price mostly comes down to the tap itself.
- Whether it's a standard washer or cartridge, or a less common part
- Mixer versus a simple compression tap
- Whether the tap body itself needs replacing, not just the internals
- Access, in the rare case a tap sits somewhere awkward
Curlew Avenue and similar Newington streets still have plenty of original late-1990s tapware in daily use, and parts for that generation are usually straightforward and inexpensive to source, keeping most repairs on the lower end of simple.
What We See in Newington Homes
Much of Newington's tapware dates to the same late-1990s Olympic Village build as everything else in the suburb, fitted new across every home within a short window.
That means washers, cartridges and spindles across a lot of houses on streets like Curlew Avenue are reaching a similar age at a similar time, so we're not surprised when a run of tap-repair calls comes from the same few streets in a given month.
It's a gentler version of the same story that shows up in bigger Newington plumbing jobs: one build era, one generation of fittings, all wearing out on a similar schedule. A tap is just the smallest, simplest example of it.

Done Right, and Done to Code
Tap repairs are straightforward plumbing work under NSW rules, and while it might seem minor, using an unlicensed installer can still affect insurance or a future sale if the work's ever questioned.
We use compliant parts and finish every repair to the same standard as a job ten times the size. Cutting corners on a five-minute fix isn't worth risking a callback, so we don't.
The Difference We Bring to Leaking Tap Repair
Same-day service exists for the jobs that genuinely need it, but for a dripping tap, we'd rather book a time that actually suits you than rush a small job unnecessarily.
Honest pricing with no surprises means a simple repair stays simple on the invoice too, no inflated call-out for a five-minute fix.
Other Plumbing We Sort in Newington
Taps are far from the whole of what we handle. A drip that keeps returning can flag mains pressure sitting too high across the house, so it can be worth pairing the repair with water leak detection or a check of any burst and leaking pipes you've noticed.
Surrounding areas get the same fixed-price treatment too, including Ermington, Lidcombe, Dundas Valley, Melrose Park and Rydalmere.

A drip left too long costs more than the repair ever will. Call (02) 9140 0185 and we'll find a time that works.
Common questions
Leaking Tap Repair FAQs
The questions we hear most before booking a tap repair.
Is leaking tap repair covered by your lifetime labour warranty?
Yes, every repair we carry out is backed the same way, taps included. If our work fails, we come back and fix it, no matter how small the original job was.
How quickly can you come out for leaking tap repair?
A dripping tap isn't usually a same-day emergency, but we can often fit it in quickly if you'd rather not wait for a booked slot.
How do I prepare for a leaking tap repair callout?
Nothing much is needed from you. Knowing roughly which tap and whether it's constant or occasional dripping helps us bring the right parts on the first visit.
Can you do leaking tap repair on weekends or after hours?
Yes, we're on call 24/7, though for a simple drip most people are happy to book a convenient weekday time instead.
When should I call about leaking tap repair?
As soon as it's noticeable, really. A small drip left for months adds up on the water bill and often gets worse, not better, on its own.
Do you clean up after leaking tap repair?
Always. Tap work is minor by nature, so there's barely a trace we were there once the drip has stopped.
