A real person answers, day or night
That drip is quietly doing more damage than you think
A tap that drips once every few seconds can lose thousands of litres across a year, and the stain it leaves in a basin is only the visible half. Our tap repairs cover every fitting in the house, from the laundry pair to the kitchen mixer, and most jobs finish in one visit.

Prevention costs little today
Tap and mixer services we deliver
From a single dripping washer to a full set of matching tapware, the work below covers what local homes actually ask for, priced upfront and finished properly:
Mixer cartridge replacement
Worn mixer cartridges cause most kitchen and bathroom drips, so your plumber strips the valve, matches a quality replacement cartridge to the tap's brand, and pressure-tests the rebuilt mixer before packing up, handing back a lever that moves smoothly again.
Washers, spindles and tap seats
Dripping spindles and hardened washers plague older taps, so we re-seat the tap body where pitting has formed, fit new washers and O-rings, and reassemble the handle with the right grease, restoring a firm turn-off on the mid-century homes here.
Outdoor taps and corrosion control
Salt-laden air off Kogarah Bay corrodes external tap bodies, spindles and isolation stops far faster than inland, so waterfront homes get marine-grade replacements and every outside tap we touch is checked, serviced or swapped before the next summer season arrives.
New tapware installation
Renovations and bayfront rebuilds often specify wall mixers, gooseneck spouts and matching laundry sets, so we install new tapware to manufacturer specifications, seat every flange properly against tile or render, and leave you with pressure-tested joints hidden behind the wall.
Designer tapware in the waterfront rebuilds
The prestige knock-down-rebuilds along the water toward Bald Face Point favour wall-faced mixers, matte black finishes and concealed spouts, and those fittings punish shortcuts in a way the old chrome pairs never did.
Set to the template
Reached without rubble
Matching finishes across bathrooms, ensuite and laundry is routine for us, and the compliance certificates for any new installation arrive with the invoice.
Faults we see in local tapware
The tap that will not shut off
A tap that will not shut off cleanly usually means a worn washer, a scored seat or a failing cartridge, and because the drip runs day and night it squanders thousands of litres annually until the internal parts are renewed.
Weak flow from one outlet
Sputtering or weak flow from a single tap while the rest of the house runs strongly points to a clogged aerator full of scale or debris, a quick clean or swap that restores full flow without touching the supply pipework.
Water where it should not be
Water pooling at the base of a tap or under the sink cabinet signals a failing O-ring, a strained body washer or a corroded spindle, and catching it early protects the cupboard floor and skirting from slow, hidden rot.
Why a dripping tap deserves a fast call
- Water bills climb quietly A drip you have learned to ignore can waste thousands of litres a year, and on a metered Sydney Water supply that cost lands on your bill every quarter whether you notice it or not.
- Damage spreads beyond the tap Weeping spindles and failing O-rings soak cupboard floors, vanities and wall linings, and rot behind a laundry tub costs far more to put right than the washer that caused it.
- Small faults travel in packs If one tap's internals are worn, its neighbours on the same supply line are usually the same age, so one visit can renew the whole set before each fitting fails on its own schedule.
If the drip sits behind a wall or under a floor and the source is not obvious, our leak detection service finds it without guesswork, and stubborn shower fittings have their own shower repairs page.
How it works
Our tap repair process, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Repair and rebuild
The tap or mixer comes apart on the bench, the worn cartridge, washer, spindle or seat is identified and matched from the van's parts stock, quality replacements go in, and the rebuilt tap is pressure-tested and reassembled to run smoothly.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Blakehurst
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Blakehurst works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Tap work sits alongside the rest of our general plumbing too, so if the mixer turns out to be part of a bigger picture we handle that on the same visit.
Where we work
Tap repairs across the neighbouring suburbs
Tap and mixer work runs right across the Georges River area, from Carss Park and Kyle Bay through Connells Point, South Hurstville and Kogarah Bay, with the same fixed written pricing and lifetime-backed workmanship carried to every one of those streets.
Good questions, straight answers
Tap questions the locals keep asking
Why does my mixer tap keep dripping after I changed the washer?
Mixer taps use a cartridge rather than a washer, so a washer swap cannot stop the drip, and the correct replacement cartridge matched to your tap's brand is what genuinely fixes it.
Does salt air near the bay wear out outdoor taps faster?
It does, because salt-laden air corrodes external tap bodies and isolation stops faster than inland streets, which is why we fit marine-grade tapware on waterfront homes and check outside taps on every visit.
How much does a tap repair cost?
Every job is quoted as a single fixed written price before any work begins, the call out and assessment cost $0, and the figure on the quote is exactly what the invoice shows.
How quickly can a plumber get to a dripping tap?
Most tap repairs are routine jobs booked in normal hours, so we can usually arrange a prompt visit, and urgent after-hours calls reach a licensed plumber rather than an answering machine.
Is tap repair work covered by a warranty?
Yes, every repair carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if the same fault returns because of workmanship we come back and make it right at no cost, with no questions asked.
Should I repair an old tap or replace it with a new one?
We assess honestly on site: a quality tap with a worn cartridge is worth repairing, while a corroded body, a discontinued spindle or salt-eaten externals usually makes replacement the smarter choice.
