A real person answers, day or night
Stopping the tap that drips and the mixer that has gone stiff
A tap that will not quite shut, a handle you have to crank, a mixer gone noisy and stiff, each is a small fault that a proper re-seat or a fresh cartridge puts right in a single visit without the drama.
Why taps wear out faster on old steel
Grit that chews washers
Seats worn beyond a washer
Clogged aerators and stiff mixers
What a tap repair covers
Whether it is a traditional washer tap or a modern mixer, the aim is the same, a clean full flow that shuts off completely, so the drip stops and the handle turns sweetly once again:
Washer and seat
Re-washering a dripping tap and re-seating the worn brass beneath it is the classic fix for the older cottages, and doing both together means the tap actually holds instead of dripping again within a month.
Mixer cartridges
Replacing the ceramic cartridge inside a stiff or noisy mixer restores a smooth, quiet action and a clean shut-off, and it saves the cost and mess of swapping the whole mixer when only the internals have worn.
Aerator and flow
Clearing or renewing a grit-clogged aerator brings back an even flow and stops the tap spitting and spraying, a quick fix that often explains why a once-strong tap has faded to a weak, split stream.
From cottage washers to modern mixers
Old and new, same call
Rentals wear taps hard
A drip is never just a drip
Tap faults we sort fast
A tap that keeps dripping
A tap that drips even when firmly closed has usually worn its washer or pitted its seat, and a new washer on a freshly re-seated tap is what finally stops the steady drip and the stain below.
A stiff or noisy mixer
A mixer that has grown stiff, stuck or noisy nearly always has a worn or grit-fouled cartridge inside, and renewing that single part restores the smooth, quiet single-lever action it had when new.
Why a dripping tap is worth stopping
A dripping tap seems trivial, yet it wastes water every hour, wears the fitting further and marks your basins, so the small repair is well worth making sooner rather than later:
A drip wastes more than you think
Wear only gets worse
Stains and mould follow
How it works
How a tap repair runs, 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
We fix and test
Given the green light, your plumber re-washers or re-seats the tap, or drops in a fresh mixer cartridge, clears the aerator, then runs the tap hard to confirm it flows evenly and shuts off with no drip.
- 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 Riverwood
The reasons a dripping tap ends up on our books are simple ones.
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 Riverwood 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.
Where we work
Areas we cover close by
Dripping taps get sorted through Peakhurst, Narwee, Padstow, Beverly Hills and Lugarno as well, usually the same day you call, whether it is a single stubborn washer or a run of tired mixers.
Good questions, straight answers
Tap repair questions from Riverwood locals
The tap questions we field most often. A worn mixer often turns up during a kitchen job, and a run of tired taps can be swept up in a wider residential visit.
Why does my tap still drip after a new washer?
The brass seat beneath the washer is usually worn or pitted, so the washer cannot seal against it, and re-seating the tap as well as re-washering it is what puts an end to the drip.
Can you repair a mixer or does it need replacing?
Usually the ceramic cartridge inside is all that has worn, so replacing that single part restores a smooth action and saves swapping the whole mixer, though a corroded body is better renewed.
Why has my tap gone stiff and started spitting?
Grit shed from the corroding galvanised lines clogs the aerator and jams the cartridge, so cleaning it out and dropping in a fresh cartridge usually restores a smooth, even flow.
Do you charge to look at a leaking tap?
No, the $0 call out fee means the visit and the written quote cost nothing, and you okay the set price before any washer or cartridge is touched.
Can you replace several taps in one visit?
Yes, a batch of tired taps and mixers across a house or a rental is easily handled in a single visit, which keeps the water off only briefly and the cost tidy.
Is a tap repair guaranteed afterwards?
Yes, each tap and mixer repair falls under our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so anything that will not last is put back right by us without another invoice.
