Inside a Typical Leaking Tap Repair Job
A perished washer or a worn cartridge causes most drips, and it's usually a straightforward swap once we're under the sink or at the wall.
A stiff or loose handle often points to a spindle that's worn out its thread, which needs replacing rather than tightening.
A tap leaking at the base is frequently a failed O-ring rather than the tap itself, an easy fix that stops the pooling for good.
Is It Time to Call a Plumber?
A tap that drips even when it's fully closed has already worn past the point where tightening the handle harder will help.
Water pooling under the sink, or a base that stays damp no matter how often you wipe it, usually means a seal has gone and needs replacing properly, not just snugged up.
None of these are urgent in the way a burst pipe is, but they're worth booking in rather than living with. A tap that's been dripping for months is quietly costing more than the repair would.
Leaking Tap Repair in Wentworthville Homes
Along Pritchard Street and the mid-century brick homes nearby, original bathroom and kitchen fittings are still common, untouched since the house was first built.
Those original taps use washer-and-seat hardware that's largely been superseded by cartridge tapware in newer fixtures, so a repair on one of these older homes can mean tracking down hardware that isn't common stock anymore.
Renovated kitchens and newer builds near the station run modern cartridge or mixer taps instead, which fail differently again, usually the cartridge itself rather than a washer.
Either way, we carry stock for both generations of tapware, so most repairs are sorted without a second trip to source a part.
Kitchen mixer taps take more daily use than anything else in the house, which is exactly why they're often first to start dripping. A worn cartridge in a busy kitchen can go from an occasional drip to a steady trickle within a matter of weeks once it starts.
Leaking Tap Repair Pricing, Explained Upfront
A dripping tap sits at the simpler end of what we do, and the cost usually reflects that.
- Whether it's a washer, cartridge or full tap replacement
- Standard tapware versus an older style that needs a specific part
- Single tap versus more than one fixture needing attention
- Access, including whether it's a simple under-sink job or something trickier
You'll see the fixed price before we start, and that's what you pay, nothing tacked on afterwards.
How We Work Through Leaking Tap Repair
- When you call about the leaking tap repair, we talk you through the safe first step.
- Our plumber arrives and makes the situation safe before anything else.
- You approve a fixed price for the repair with no surprises.
- We carry out the leaking tap repair and stand behind it with a lifetime labour warranty.
Sourcing a matching washer-and-seat part for one of these original fittings occasionally stretches the job out longer than a straightforward cartridge swap would take on a newer tap.
The Rules That Apply in NSW
Tap repair itself is minor plumbing work, but NSW still requires it to be carried out by a licensed plumber, particularly where the repair touches the water supply connection.
We're licensed for the full range, from a simple washer change through to replacing a tap body entirely, so there's never a question of whether the job's within scope.
That matters more than it sounds on an older tap. What looks like a simple washer job can turn out to need a new isolation valve as well if the original fitting's corroded, and that's still work a licensed plumber has to sign off on.
What Sets Our Work Apart
A leaking tap feels minor until you see what it adds to a water bill over months of steady dripping. We treat it as worth doing properly, not as an afterthought between bigger jobs.
That means the same attention to a fixed price and a proper fix whether it's a single dripping tap or a full burst pipe. The job size changes, the standard doesn't.
A dripping tap left for months can waste a genuinely surprising amount of water, and a slow drip at the base can eventually stain or damage the benchtop or vanity underneath it. Getting it looked at sooner rather than later usually keeps it a small job.
Servicing Nearby Homes Too
A leaking tap sometimes points to wider pressure issues worth checking with our water leak detection team, and a tap that's seized completely can be part of a broader hot water repair if it's on the hot side.
Westmead and Pendle Hill get the same tap repair callouts as our own streets in Wentworthville.

A dripping tap is an easy fix that's easy to put off, but the water bill keeps climbing while you do. Call (02) 9140 0196 and we'll get it sorted properly.
Common questions
Questions We Get About Leaking Tap Repair
A rundown of what people usually ask before booking a tap repair.
Do I get a price for leaking tap repair upfront?
Yes, always. We inspect the tap, walk you through what it needs, and settle on a number before any work starts.
Is a leaking tap repair quote free?
Yes, quoting costs you nothing at all. Payment only happens after you've given the go-ahead.
What are the signs I need leaking tap repair?
A steady drip when the tap's fully shut, a handle that's gone wobbly, or water pooling around the base are the usual giveaways.
How long does leaking tap repair usually take?
Most single-tap repairs, like a washer or cartridge swap, are done well within the one visit. An older or corroded tap body can occasionally need replacing outright, which takes a little longer.
Is there anything to do while I wait for leaking tap repair?
If it's dripping heavily, closing the isolation valve under the fixture will slow it down. Otherwise, just leave it be and we'll sort it properly when we arrive.
What state do you leave things in after leaking tap repair?
Clean and dry. We wipe down the area, check for any residual drip, and leave the cupboard or vanity exactly as we found it, minus the leak.
