A real person answers, day or night
A dripping tap is never just a drip, it is a bill that never stops
That steady drip runs day and night whether anyone is home or not, so call (02) 9072 0592 and let a licensed plumber silence it for good instead of tightening it a little harder each week.
Old tapware behind a Federation cottage wall
Tapware in these period homes carries a history that a straight swap does not always respect:
Obsolete spindles and seats
Corroded shut-off valves
Chrome that hides wear
Tap repair services we cover
From a weeping garden tap to a designer kitchen mixer, we repair and replace every kind of tapware in the house as part of our plumbing, matching the fix to the fitting in front of us:
Dripping washer taps
A traditional tap that drips from the spout has usually worn its washer or seat, so we re-washer and re-seat it, or fit a ceramic-disc upgrade, so it shuts off with a light turn and stays silent.
Mixer tap repairs
Single-lever mixers that stiffen, leak or run lukewarm almost always have a failed cartridge, so we replace the exact cartridge for that model and restore smooth control of flow and temperature.
New tap and mixer sets
When a fitting is past rebuilding, we supply and install a new tap or mixer set that suits the basin and the water, sealing every connection and checking there are no drips before we pack away.
Outdoor and laundry taps
Garden, laundry and hose taps take the weather and the hardest use, so we replace seized or split ones with durable quarter-turn fittings that shut off cleanly and stop the slow waste soaking a wall or garden bed.
From St Declan's to the Penshurst Park fields
We fix taps for the whole neighbourhood, from the streets around St Declan's Catholic Church to the homes backing the Penshurst Park sporting fields:
Every tap in the home
Water saved, quietly
Matched to your fittings
Common tap problems we fix
Two faults account for most of the tapware we are called to on these streets:
A tap that will not stop
When a tap keeps dripping however hard it is turned, the washer seat has scored and tightening it only worsens the scoring, so we re-cut or replace the seat and end the drip at its cause.
A mixer gone stiff
A mixer lever that has become stiff or gritty is usually a cartridge full of scale or wear, so we fit a fresh one and the lever glides again, controlling hot and cold as it should.
Why fixing a dripping tap early matters
A dripping tap feels like the most trivial fault in the house, yet left alone it wastes water, damages surfaces and often signals more wear to come:
- A drip is a running meter A single tap dripping steadily wastes a startling volume over a year, so the small repair usually pays for itself within months.
- Standing water marks and rots A weeping tap stains a basin, corrodes a fitting and, at a wall-mounted laundry or garden tap, feeds moisture into the structure behind it.
- Worn taps warn of more Tapware failing across a home often points to tired washers and valves throughout, which a single maintenance visit can get ahead of in one go.
How it works
How a tap repair works, step by step
Getting from an irritating drip to reliable tapware takes just four steps:
- 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
Repair or replace
Approval given, we rebuild the tap with a new washer or cartridge, or fit the replacement mixer where the body is worn through, then test both temperature and flow so the drip and the stain are gone for good.
- 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 Penshurst
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 Penshurst 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 service
Dripping taps and tired mixers take us into Hurstville, Mortdale, Beverly Hills, Peakhurst and Narwee, where the same van carries the cartridges and washers that the district's mix of old and new tapware calls for.
Good questions, straight answers
Tap repair questions from Penshurst locals
Can you repair a dripping mixer tap?
Yes, a leaking or stiff single-lever mixer nearly always needs a new cartridge matched to its model, which we carry for the common brands and fit so the lever moves smoothly again.
Do I need to replace the whole tap or can it be fixed?
Often it can be fixed, especially on older fittings where a re-washer, a new seat or a cartridge restores it, and we only recommend a replacement when the body itself is worn through.
Can you match parts for old or period taps?
Usually yes, and where an original spindle or seat is no longer made we either restore the existing part or fit a matching modern equivalent, so a period bathroom keeps its character.
How much does a tap repair cost?
Coming out costs nothing, and the job is priced on paper before we start, so a quick re-washer or a full mixer swap is a known amount rather than an hourly gamble.
How long does it take to fix a tap?
Most dripping taps and mixer cartridges are sorted in the one visit, because we stock the washers, seats and cartridges these older fittings commonly need on the van.
Is the tap repair guaranteed?
Yes, the workmanship on every tap and mixer we repair is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if our fix does not hold we return and sort it with nothing more to pay.
