When This Problem Can't Wait
Most dripping taps aren't urgent, but a few situations are worth acting on sooner.
- A tap that won't shut off fully and is running constantly
- Water pooling under the sink from a leaking connection, not the tap itself
- A tap that's suddenly started leaking hard rather than just dripping
- Water damage starting to show on a cabinet or floor nearby
If it's a genuine flood rather than a drip, our burst and leaking pipes page is the one you want.
Inside a Typical Leaking Tap Repair Job
We work out what's actually failed. Different internal parts cause the same drip, and each needs its own fix rather than a one-size patch.
We quote it before touching anything. One fixed price, agreed with you first.
We fix it properly, not just for now. The right part, fitted correctly, rather than a temporary patch.
The Willoughby Angle on This Job
Small Street is home to the old Willoughby incinerator, the 1934 Walter Burley Griffin building now doing service as a community art space. The homes around it, and across much of the suburb, are solid brick and double-brick, with pockets of weatherboard among the older cottages.
Taps in houses this age have usually been replaced or upgraded at least once since the original fit-out, which means the fittings under the sink aren't always a matching set. A tap that looks modern can still be plumbed into older, narrower supply lines behind the wall.
That mismatch is worth knowing before a repair starts, because a part that suits a newer tap doesn't always suit the pipework feeding it. We check both before we quote, not just the tap itself.
Weatherboard cottages tucked among the brick homes add their own wrinkle. Plumbing runs in a timber-framed house are sometimes shallower or angled differently to a double-brick one, which changes how much room there is to work behind the wall if a supply line needs attention too.
None of that changes the price of a straightforward washer swap. It matters more when a tap's dripping because of a deeper issue than the tap itself.
What Your Fixed Quote Depends On
A leaking tap is one of the more straightforward jobs we price, but a few things still shape it.
- Whether it's a washer, cartridge or valve seat causing the drip
- Whether matching parts are readily available for that tap
- Access under the sink or behind the wall, tighter in some older homes
- Whether the supply line itself needs attention as well as the tap
You'll always know what it costs before we start, no surprises once the work's underway.
What to Expect on the Day
Your call sends a licensed plumber and the right gear for the leaking tap repair.
We find the true source behind the leaking tap repair problem before quoting.
The fixed leaking tap repair price covers a proper fix, not a patch.
We finish the leaking tap repair and guarantee the labour for good.
One visit is typically all a leaking tap repair needs. Where a tap's failed more than once already, we'll take a closer look at your household pressure while we're there, rather than replace the same part again.
Standards and Safety, Explained Simply
Tap and fitting work sits under the same NSW licensing as any other plumbing job, and Lic #465156C covers it.
There's nothing hazardous about a dripping tap, but a rushed fix with the wrong part can create a bigger leak later. We'd rather take a little longer and match it properly.
That's especially true on an older double-brick home where the fitting isn't a standard modern size. Forcing a part that's close enough but not quite right tends to fail again within weeks.
What Sets Our Work Apart
Family-run, and long enough in Sydney plumbing to have fixed more dripping taps than we could count, we still give one the same care as any bigger job on the books.
$65 off your first service applies here too, so a small job like this is often how people first try us out before anything bigger comes up.
Other Plumbing We Sort in Willoughby
If more than one tap in the house is dripping, or you've noticed pressure changes elsewhere, it can be worth a broader look; ask us about water leak detection when you call.
We also cover Chatswood and Lindfield for the same work, both with a similar spread of older and newer fittings across their housing.

A drip left too long adds up on the water bill more than most people expect, and it rarely fixes itself. Call (02) 9139 9963 and pick a time that works for you.
Common questions
Your Leaking Tap Repair FAQs
Here's what else people usually want to know.
Can you come out for leaking tap repair at night?
Yes, we're on call 24/7, though most people book a dripping tap in for the next available slot rather than call at 2am for it. Either way, the choice is yours.
Will you walk me through what caused the leaking tap repair issue?
Always. Usually it's a worn washer, a failed cartridge, or a seat that's degraded; we'll show you which before we quote the fix.
Will you charge me to quote leaking tap repair?
No, the quote itself is free, and there's no call-out fee to have someone attend and take a look.
How urgent is leaking tap repair really?
It's rarely genuinely urgent, unlike a pipe that's actively flooding, but a dripping tap wastes real water and money the longer it runs. Book it in whenever it suits your week.
When should I call about leaking tap repair?
Whenever it starts annoying you, honestly. There's no wrong time, and it rarely gets better on its own once a washer or cartridge starts going.
Will leaking tap repair fix the problem for good?
In most cases, yes. If the same tap keeps failing, it's often a sign of water pressure worth checking, which we'll flag rather than just replace parts again.
