TAP & MIXER SERVICES
From Small Leaks to Complete Tapware Replacement
A leaking or difficult-to-use tap does not always require complete replacement. The problem may come from worn washers, seals, cartridges, fittings or flexible connections.
We assess the tapware first and determine whether the most practical solution is repair, component replacement or installation of new tapware.
OUR APPROACH
How We Handle Tap & Mixer Problems
01
Assess
We inspect the tap, mixer and surrounding plumbing connections to identify where the problem is coming from.
02
Repair
Worn washers, seals, cartridges or suitable plumbing components can be replaced where repair is practical.
03
Replace
Ageing, damaged or unsuitable tapware can be removed and replaced with new tap or mixer fittings.
04
Test
Water connections are tested after completion to confirm correct operation and check for leaks.
COMMON TAP PROBLEMS
Tap & Mixer Problems We Can Help With
01
Dripping & Leaking Taps
A constantly dripping tap may be caused by worn washers, seals, internal components or ageing tapware that is no longer sealing correctly.
Leaks can also appear around the base of the tap or surrounding fittings rather than directly from the outlet.
COMMON SIGNS
Constant dripping · Water around tap base · Tap will not shut off ·
Moisture beneath fixture

Constantly Dripping Tap
Melbourne, VIC
Investigated a tap that continued dripping after being shut off and rectified the affected tap components before testing the water supply.
02
Mixer Cartridge & Internal Wear
Mixer taps use internal cartridges and seals to control water flow and temperature. These components can wear over time and cause the mixer to become stiff, difficult to control or unable to shut off correctly.
Where suitable replacement components are available, the internal cartridge or related parts may be replaced without changing the entire mixer.
COMMON SIGNS
Stiff mixer handle · Poor temperature control · Dripping outlet ·
Difficult operation
