When This Problem Can't Wait
A dripping tap is rarely an emergency in the way a burst pipe is, but a few situations do move it up the list.
- What started as an occasional drip is now running constantly
- Water has started collecting inside the cabinet below the basin
- Cranking the handle harder makes no difference to the flow
- Green or white staining has built up around the spout
None of these are urgent enough to need an after-hours callout on their own, though we're still on call if the timing suits you better that way. Most households book it in as the next available slot instead.
What We Handle Under Leaking Tap Repair
- We identify the actual cause. The internal part that's given out, whether that's a seal, a cartridge or a spindle, decides which repair applies.
- We check the tap body itself. Corrosion inside an older brass fitting sometimes means the whole tap is due for swapping out rather than a patch-up.
- We test the fix under real pressure. A repair that looks fine dry can still weep once the water's back on, so we run it before calling the job done.
- We check nearby fittings while we're there. If one tap in a bathroom is failing, others of the same age and type are often not far behind.
Leaking Tap Repair and Putney's Older Housing
Putney's housing stock spans three building waves, and homes from the earliest one, put up through the 1940s and 1950s, still commonly carry their original brass tapware. Near Morrison Bay Park, that generation of housing is well represented among the older streets closest to the water.
Brass tapware from that era wasn't built with today's washers and cartridges in mind, and decades of mineral-heavy Sydney water take a toll on the internal seals. A tap that's dripped on and off for years can suddenly get much worse once a washer finally gives out completely.
Renovated kitchens and bathrooms across the same streets tend to run modern mixer taps instead, which fail differently and are usually a quicker fix. Knowing which generation of fitting we're dealing with before the visit helps us bring the right parts on the van.
How We Price Leaking Tap Repair
- Whether an internal part needs replacing or the whole tap does
- How the parts differ across brands and tap styles
- Access to the tap and any isolation valve nearby
- How many fixtures need attention in the one visit
There's no charge just to have someone come and look. On Putney's original brass tapware, what starts as a simple part swap can sometimes turn up a worn tap body underneath, and if that happens we'll set out both options rather than assume you want the pricier one.
How We Work Through Leaking Tap Repair
We take your call, get the key details of the leaking tap repair problem, and arrange a visit.
A licensed plumber assesses leaking tap repair on site and pins down the real cause.
You get a fixed price for leaking tap repair upfront, agreed before any work starts.
We complete the leaking tap repair work, with the labour backed by our lifetime warranty.
Older homes in this pocket of the suburb often have an isolation valve that hasn't been touched in decades, and one that's seized can turn a quick job into a longer one. We'll say so as soon as it's obvious, not partway through.
What NSW Requires for This Work
Tap and fixture repairs generally sit outside the licensed-work threshold when they don't touch the water supply pipework itself. Anything beyond a simple internal part swap usually does cross that line.
Where exactly that line falls isn't always obvious from the outside, which is exactly why a DIY attempt can turn a small leak into a bigger one.
Our plumbers hold a full NSW licence regardless of how small the job looks, so there's no guesswork about whether a particular repair needs one. It also means the same visit can move straight into a bigger fix if the tap turns out to need one, without waiting on a second tradesperson.

Common questions
Leaking Tap Repair FAQs
A few questions worth answering before you call (02) 9139 9963.
Will you quote leaking tap repair before starting?
Always. A plumber looks at the tap, tells you the price, and only starts once you've said go ahead.
Do you handle leaking tap repair for strata or apartments?
Yes, regularly. We work with whatever's actually installed, whether that's a standard mixer or something specified by a body corporate.
Is there anything to do while I wait for leaking tap repair?
If it's dripping steadily rather than spraying, there's usually no rush to do anything before we arrive. A bucket underneath saves the cupboard if it's pooling.
What warranty comes with leaking tap repair?
The labour on the repair is guaranteed for life, in writing. That's the same promise on every job we take on, no matter how small.
Will you charge me to quote leaking tap repair?
No. Quotes are free, and there's no call-out fee either, whether or not you decide to go ahead.
How do I use the $65 off for leaking tap repair?
Mention it when you book. New customers get $65 off their first service, leaking tap repair included.
