A dripping tap is the most-called job on our books here. One visit usually settles it: the washer, cartridge or spindle replaced, the seat checked, and the tap shutting off clean again.

The suburb filled with detached brick homes from the 1970s onward, so the original spindles, seats and washers are decades past their design life. Whole streets reached tap-replacement age together.
With 2.8 people per household, mostly living in owner-occupied detached dwellings going by the most recent census figures, taps in the bathroom and kitchen see hundreds of turns every single week.
The kitchen and bathroom renovations of the 1990s and 2000s added lever mixers, and those cartridges are now ageing alongside the older jumper-valve taps they sit next to.
From a single stubborn basin tap to a full set of replacements across a bathroom or kitchen, the tap work we carry out covers the fittings most Bray Park households call about:

Perished washers, worn O-rings and damaged seals replaced on the spot, shutting off the drip at its true source and restoring a clean, firm shut-off to older taps around the house.

Cartridges pulled, cleaned or swapped in lever mixers from the 1990s and 2000s renovation wave, stopping the drip, swing and stiff handle in one visit to your sink or vanity.

Full replacements with new tapware when the spindle or body is past saving, including wall outlets, basin sets and laundry tubs, fitted and pressure-tested on the day, ready to use.

Garden taps, hose unions and meter connections repaired or renewed across the yard, from a weeping tap by the garden bed to a seized handle that won't budge at all.
$0 call-out fees, available 24/7, and same-day where we can.

Four calls make up most of the tap work we get:
A worn washer or a scored seat lets water past the closed spindle. We rewasher, reseat or replace the fitting, and the drip stops instead of wearing a groove deeper.
Scale, corrosion and dried grease lock old spindles until the handle twists or the top snaps off. Stripping, cleaning and new O-rings bring smooth turning back without forcing anything loose.
Aerators clog with sediment and partly closed service valves starve a single outlet. Cleaning the aerator or resetting the valve restores the full flow before anyone reaches for expensive parts.
A weep where the tap meets the basin or wall means the body or outlet seal has failed. Catching it early keeps the repair small and the wall dry.

A tap left dripping costs more than most people expect, in water, in damage and in the end price of the repair. Three reasons it pays to ring early:
Every drop through a failed washer has already run past your meter. Over a billing quarter, a fast drip adds up to a figure worth noticing on the account.
A weep at the base of a basin tap runs into the vanity or down the wall. What starts as a washer job can end as bathroom plumbing work if it's left long enough.
A worn washer scored into a seat turns a five-minute rewasher into a reseat or a full replacement. Ringing us at the first drip keeps the repair at the smaller end of the range.

Ring (07) 3522 5623 and let us know what's going on in Bray Park. A few questions up front mean we turn up with the right parts.

You get flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees before anything is touched. Approve it and we get started.

We carry washers, O-rings, cartridges and common spindle sizes, so the fitting gets repaired or swapped over in that visit, and anything unusual gets ordered and fitted on a second run.

Pay by card or EFTPOS on site at the end, or ask about Fix now, pay later.

Tap repairs might be the smallest job on the books, but they get the same quote-first treatment as a full re-plumb. If the drip points to something you can't see, our leak detection work finds it before the wall comes apart.

Everyday drips are one corner of our general plumbing work; the overview page lays out the rest, from kitchens to gas fittings.
Because this suburb's houses were built in one long stretch from the 1970s onward, many still run their original or second-set spindles, and decades of daily use wear washers and seats down to a drip.
In most cases yes, because common spindle and handle patterns from that era still have replacements on the shelf, and where a pattern is discontinued we swap the whole fitting for a close modern match.
It does, because Unitywater bills by meter, so a fast drip pushes real volume past the meter over a quarter, and fixing the tap usually costs less than the water it quietly wastes.
Access, tap type and parts drive it: a basin washer is quick, a wall outlet behind tiles takes longer, and a full replacement tops the range, all quoted before work starts.
If the bodies are sound, rewashering keeps matching fittings in place for years more, but if two or more have corroded, a matched replacement set usually beats paying for repeat visits.
Call (07) 3522 5623, tell us which taps are trouble and where in Bray Park you are, and we'll set a time that suits, with zero call-out fees and the price agreed before work starts.
