A leaking tap repair fixes the worn part that lets water escape, usually a washer, O-ring or cartridge. The Plumbing Gang’s QBCC licensed plumbers diagnose the cause, repair or replace the tap or mixer, and test it for leaks before leaving. Fixed-price options are provided before any work starts.

Drip, drip, drip

A dripping tap is an easy fix

Most dripping taps come down to a worn washer in older taps or a worn ceramic cartridge in mixers. Left alone, a steady drip wastes water every single day and can stain sinks and basins.

We replace the washer or cartridge, re-seat the tap and test it, or replace the whole tapware if it’s worn out.

Reagan came out to our property today to assist with a gas tank leakage. He was super detailed and thorough with his work, going above and beyond to ensure we were sorted and happy with the service. He displayed patience when explaining what he was doing step by step and offered fantastic education around what he was doing and potential hazards to watch out for. Great worker to have under your wing plumbing gang! Definitely recommend their service for anyone out there looking for a trusted and reliable company.

Yes. If the leak is behind a wall top or mixer, we can investigate and repair it, and use leak detection methods where the source is not obvious.
