Leaking Tap and Pipe Repair Services
A leak is rarely just a leak. Behind that slow drip or damp patch is usually a worn washer, a perished o ring, a corroded valve seat or a hairline split in copper that has been quietly making itself worse for months. Our job is not just to stop the noise. It is to find out why it started in the first place and put the right fix in.
When our team arrives, we work backwards from the symptom, isolate the section of pipe or fitting that is failing, and explain what we have found in plain English. Sometimes that means a quick washer change. Sometimes it means re-seating a tap that has been chewed up by years of pressure. Occasionally it means cutting out a tired section of pipe and replacing it with new copper or a modern fitting that won’t give you the same trouble in five years.
Either way, you’ll know what is going on, what it’ll cost, and what we have done to make sure the same leak doesn’t reappear next month.

Our Complete Leak Repair Services
We fix every kind of household water leak there is, from a kitchen tap that has started chattering to a copper line in the wall that is quietly soaking the plasterboard.
- Leaking tap repairs: Kitchen, bathroom, laundry and outdoor taps. We re washer, re seat or rebuild as needed, and replace the tap entirely if the body has corroded past saving.
- Mixer tap repairs: Cartridge swaps, ceramic disc replacements and seal kits for kitchen and bathroom mixers, including most leading Australian and European brands.
- Burst and leaking pipe repairs: Copper, PEX and poly. We isolate the affected section, cut out the damaged length and replace it with new pipe and proper fittings, not push fit shortcuts.
- Leaking shower repairs: Showers that drip after the tap is closed are almost always a worn cartridge or washer. We fix the leak without tearing the wall apart wherever possible.
- Leaking toilet repairs: Cistern leaks, base leaks and connection leaks all addressed at the source rather than patched on top.
- Hot and cold water line repairs: Including pinhole leaks in older copper lines, which often appear after years of high pressure.
- Outdoor tap and garden line repairs: Garden taps, hose bibs and irrigation connections that have failed from sun, frost or general wear.
- Concealed leak detection: If you can hear water moving when nothing is on, or your bill has jumped without explanation, we use specialist equipment to locate the leak before any cutting starts.
Signs You've Got a Leak
- A water bill that’s quietly climbing: If your usage looks normal but the bill has crept up over the last quarter or two, you almost certainly have a leak somewhere. Even a slow drip from a single tap adds up to thousands of litres a year.
- A drop in water pressure: A sudden or gradual loss of pressure can point to a leak in the supply line before it reaches the house. Not always urgent, but worth investigating.
- Damp patches, blistered paint or sagging plasterboard: Water shows up where it can. A wet patch on a ceiling or wall, or paint that has started to lift, usually means a pipe behind it has been weeping for a while.
- A tap that drips after it’s closed: This is a classic worn washer or seat. Cheap to fix, expensive to ignore. A single dripping tap can waste over twenty thousand litres a year.
- A mixer that’s lost its smooth feel: If your kitchen or bathroom mixer has gone stiff, gritty or started letting water past when it is off, the cartridge inside has worn out and needs replacing.
- The sound of running water when nothing is on: Stand still in the laundry or near the meter. If you can hear water moving with every tap closed, there is a leak somewhere on the line.
- Mould or a musty smell in a bathroom or kitchen: Persistent mould often means there’s a slow water source nearby. Surface cleaning treats the symptom, finding the leak treats the cause.
- Rust or green corrosion around fittings: Stains or build up around connections is usually a sign water has been escaping for some time, even if there is no visible drip right now.

Have A Question?
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my tap still dripping after I changed the washer?
The most common reason is a worn or damaged tap seat. Years of pressure on the same point can chew up the brass underneath the washer, so a new washer simply cannot form a proper seal. Re seating the tap with a re seating tool fixes it permanently. If you have already tried two washers, it is time to call a plumber.
What if I don't know the cause of the leak?
Our plumbers are all qualified and trained. They will easily find the cause of the leak and make sure to get it fixed for you. They can also give you some recommendations on how to make sure the issue doesn’t come back.
How much water does a dripping tap actually waste?
Our plumbers are all qualified and trained. They will easily find the cause of the leak and make sure to get it fixed for you. They can also give you some recommendations on how to make sure the issue doesn’t come back.
What is the risk of leaving a leak without repair?
More than people realise. A single slow drip can waste twenty thousand litres a year. A faster drip can be triple that. Fixing it almost always pays for itself within a few quarterly bills.
Can you fix a leak in a pipe inside the wall?
Yes. We use leak detection equipment to find the exact location first so we only open the wall where it is necessary, then replace the affected section properly. We are careful with finishes and we will always tell you what to expect before we start cutting.
What's the difference between a leak and high water pressure?
Excessively high water pressure can cause taps to drip and pipes to weep even if nothing is technically broken. If your home does not have a pressure limiting valve, or yours has failed, we can install or replace one and often save you a stack of repair calls in the long run.
Do I need to turn the water off myself before you arrive?
Only if water is actively running and you cannot slow it down at the tap. We can find and isolate the main shut off when we get there. If you have a major burst, turn the water off at the meter, then call us.
