About This Service
A tap that keeps dripping after you turn it off usually has a worn washer or cartridge. We replace tap washers and cartridges in kitchen, bathroom, laundry and outdoor taps and mixers, and replace the whole tap or mixer when a repair isn't worth it. If you're thinking about a new kitchen mixer, see our Kitchen Mixer Upgrade on the offers page. You get a fixed price before we start, there is a $0 call-out fee, and our workmanship is covered for 12 months.

A worn washer
Older taps that take several turns to close shut off against a rubber washer. Over time it wears or hardens, and the tap starts to drip. A new washer usually fixes it.
A worn cartridge
Mixers and quarter-turn taps shut off with a cartridge instead of a washer. When it wears, the tap drips or gets hard to turn. The cartridge can be replaced.
Leaking around the handle or base
Water around the handle or where the tap meets the bench or wall commonly comes from worn seals inside the tap, or from the cartridge.
Leaking under the sink
Water in the cupboard is often a connection or flexi hose under the sink rather than the tap itself. An old or bulging flexi hose is worth replacing before it bursts.
Repair or Replace the Tap?
Usually a repair
A dripping tap with a worn washer or cartridge, where the tap body is in good condition.
Usually a replacement
A tap body that is corroded or damaged, a tap that keeps leaking after repairs, or an older tap or mixer whose parts are no longer available.
Upgrading your tapware
If you'd rather replace it, we install new taps and mixers, with tapware brands including Methven, Phoenix, Grohe, Mizu, Posh and Franke. Our Kitchen Mixer Upgrade is on the offers page.

Common Questions
FAQs
How much does it cost to fix a leaking tap?
It depends on whether it needs a washer, a cartridge or a new tap. We give you a fixed price before we start, with a $0 call-out fee.
Can a dripping tap be fixed, or do I need a new one?
Most dripping taps can be fixed with a new washer or cartridge. We only recommend a new tap when the body is corroded or damaged, or parts are no longer available.
Do you fix leaking mixer taps?
Yes. Mixers usually leak because the cartridge has worn, and we replace it. If the mixer isn't worth repairing, we replace the mixer.
Do you repair laundry and outdoor taps?
Yes. We repair and replace kitchen, bathroom, laundry and outdoor garden taps.
Is a dripping tap worth fixing?
Yes. A dripping tap wastes water and adds to your water bill, and a worn washer or cartridge usually gets worse over time.
Can you replace my kitchen mixer?
Yes. We replace kitchen mixers, and our Kitchen Mixer Upgrade is on the offers page.
