Common Tap Problems We Fix
Every tap issue has a unique cause and requires professional expertise for a long-term solution. Here are the common problems handled by our certified and trained plumbers:
Dripping Tap
A constantly dripping tap wastes thousands of litres of water every year and can be frustrating. Common causes include:
- Worn tap washers in traditional pillar taps
- Damaged ceramic disc cartridges in mixer taps
- Worn O-rings and seals
- Corroded valve seats
- Loose or damaged tap spindles
Even a slow drip (one drop per second) can waste over 9,000 litres annually.
Leaking from Tap Base or Handle
Leaks around the base or handle may indicate:
- Worn O-rings
- Loose tap body or handle
- Damaged cartridge seals
- Corroded internal components
If ignored, these leaks can damage benchtops, vanities, and cabinetry.
Stiff or Hard-to-Turn Taps
Taps that are difficult to operate may be caused by:
- Corroded or seized spindles
- Scale buildup inside components
- Worn or dry O-rings
- Damaged cartridges
Forcing stiff taps can worsen the damage.
Low Water Pressure from Tap
If only one tap has low pressure:
- Blocked aerator due to scale or debris
- Partially closed isolation valve
- Blocked internal components
- Kinked or blocked hose
Squealing or Screeching Tap
Unusual noises when using taps may indicate:
- Worn washers vibrating
- Loose jumper valve
- High water pressure
- Loose internal components
While not always damaging, it signals worn parts that need replacement.
Tap Handle Won’t Stay in Position
If taps turn on their own or won’t stay off:
- Worn spindle threads
- Faulty cartridge
- Loose handle screw
- Damaged internal parts
This can lead to continuous water wastage and should be fixed quickly.
Incorrect Water Temperature
Mixer taps not delivering the right temperature may be due to:
- Faulty temperature cartridge
- Reversed hot/cold connections
- Tempering valve issues
- Blocked water supply
Our plumbers don’t just fix the visible leak or drip. We thoroughly inspect all internal components such as washers, O-rings, cartridges, and fittings to identify the root cause and provide a long-lasting, reliable solution.
Tap Maintenance Tips
Extend Tap Life:
- Don’t over-tighten when turning off
- Clean aerators every 6-12 months
- Fix drips promptly
- Use gentle cleaning products
- Address stiffness immediately
Signs It's Time for Replacement:
- Frequent repairs becoming costly
- Visible corrosion or pitting
- Outdated style in renovated spaces
- Poor water efficiency
- Parts no longer available

Tap Installation Services
Kitchen Tap Installation
Installing new kitchen taps involves removing the old tap, cleaning the mounting area, installing new flexible hoses or rigid pipes, securing the new tap, connecting to hot and cold supplies, testing for leaks, and sealing around the base.
Modern kitchen taps come in many styles:
- Traditional pillar taps (separate hot/cold)
- Mixer taps (single control)
- Pull-out spray taps for versatility
- Gooseneck high-rise taps
- Pot filler taps for large sinks
- Filtered water taps
Bathroom Tap Installation
Bathroom basin taps include vanity mixer taps, traditional pillar taps, wall-mounted taps, tall basin mixers (for vessel basins), and waterfall-style taps. We install all types with proper sealing and connection.
Bath and Shower Tap Installation
Bath and shower installations require careful work including wall-mounted mixers, deck-mounted bath mixers, shower mixers (exposed and concealed), thermostatic mixers for temperature control, and diverter valves for shower/bath switching.
Laundry Tap Installation
Laundry taps need reliable operation including wall-mounted laundry taps, high-flow taps for washing machines, spout taps over laundry tubs, and backflow prevention where required.
Outdoor Tap Installation
Garden and outdoor taps require proper positioning for hose access, freeze-proof taps in cold areas, backflow prevention devices, and proper drainage to prevent pooling.
Tap Repair Services
Washer Replacement
Traditional pillar taps use rubber washers that wear out and need replacement every few years. Simple repair that immediately stops drips. We carry common washer sizes and can replace them quickly.
Ceramic Disc Cartridge Replacement
Modern mixer taps use ceramic disc cartridges instead of washers. These last longer than washers but eventually wear and need replacement. We carry common cartridges and can source brand-specific ones.
O-Ring and Seal Replacement
Multiple O-rings and seals in taps prevent leaks. Base O-rings prevent leaks onto benchtops, spout O-rings prevent drips, and cartridge seals prevent internal leaks. Replacing worn seals stops leaks and restores smooth operation.
Aerator Cleaning
The aerator (tap nozzle) mixes air with water for smooth flow. Screens trap scale and debris causing reduced water pressure. Easy to clean or replace, improving water flow instantly.
Spindle and Valve Repairs
For older tap types with spindles and valves, we can re-seat worn valve seats, replace damaged spindles, lubricate components, and replace jumper valves. These repairs extend tap life significantly.
