Tap Repairs
Washers, O-rings, ceramic discs and whole replacement taps, from a kitchen mixer that won't shut off to a garden tap weeping against the wall. Most tap work is a single short visit.
Plumbing Stafford

This page maps the six plumbing jobs we run and where each fits. If water is pouring where it shouldn't, or you smell gas, go to emergency plumbing instead.

Which Job Are You Calling About?
Most calls fall into one of six buckets, and sorting yours before you ring makes the visit faster:
A tap that drips, squeaks or won't shut off
that's a tap repair.
A pan that runs, leaks or won't flush
that's a toilet repair.
A shower, bath or vanity that needs work
that's bathroom plumbing.
A sink, dishwasher or laundry tub playing up
that's kitchen plumbing.
A water bill climbing with no obvious cause
that's leak detection.
A bayonet, a heater or a cooktop that needs gas run to it
that's gas fitting.
Not sure which bucket yours sits in? Describe it over the phone and we'll tell you before anyone books anything.
What Happy Valley Left Under the Lawn
Stafford was once Happy Valley, a rural pocket of tanneries, dairies and quarries beside Kedron Brook, and it was built over fast from the late 1940s.
The Housing Commission cottages
Austerity-standard homes went up near the tram terminus on Stafford Road, and their original supply lines and fittings are now three generations old.
The older Queenslanders among them
A handful of pre-war timber houses survive on the same blocks, and some still carry galvanised supply lines, which rust from the inside and choke flow.
The tell for both
When flow weakens at the opposite end of the house, or the morning's first water carries a rusty tinge, the supply line is the culprit, not the tap.
We quote those supply-line swaps as their own job, because what's buried out the front sets the price more than the fitting on the wall.
The Six General Plumbing Jobs
Each job below needs its own approach, and all six are routine bookings in this pocket:
Toilet Repairs
Cistern inlet and outlet valves, pan replacements and the slow seal that lets water run all night. A cistern that refills by itself is almost always a valve, not a plumbing emergency.
Bathroom Plumbing
Showers, baths, vanities and floor wastes, and the relocations and rough-in that come with a renovation. In a quarter-acre cottage that means working under timber floors, not through a slab.
Kitchen Plumbing
Sinks, mixers, dishwashers and the waste and supply lines behind them. A dishwasher that leaks into the cupboard is usually a hose clamp or a drain connection, and it's a quick fix.
Leak Detection
Finding the hidden ones: a damp patch in the yard, a meter turning with every tap off, or a bill that keeps climbing, narrowed section by section before anything gets dug.
Gas Fitting
Bayonets for the patio, heater points, cooktop connections and gas appliance repairs, all under the same licence as the water work; if you smell gas right now, leave and call from outside.

Repair, Replace or Keep It Ticking
General plumbing isn't one decision, it's three, and knowing which one you're making changes what you should ask for.
Maintain
Some jobs just want attention before they fail: a flexi hose past its date stamp, a tap washer grinding, an isolation valve that hasn't been turned in a decade. A booked check-up catches these while the fix is still a small one.
Repair
Most Stafford calls land here. A leaking cistern, a dripping mixer or a corroded joint under the laundry floor is a repair, and the fixed quote covers exactly that job.
Replace
Some things have simply reached the end of their life: a galvanised supply line that's rusted thin, a pan cracked through the trap, a vanity that's rotting out from under the basin. Replacing beats repairing when the repair would outlast the part.
The honest answer depends on the fitting's age and what sits around it, so we give you both prices on the spot: the repair and the replacement, then you choose.
If your issue is water that won't drain rather than water that won't stop, that's the drainage side of the site, and a tank gone cold has its own pages under hot water.
Groundwater and the Old Joints
The alluvial flats beside Kedron Brook sit low in this suburb, and that changes what a plumbing job looks like.
Storm rain runs downhill
Storm rain falling on Sparkes Hill runs down to the brook flats below, and Council's flood maps mark the low streets plus the overland flow paths crossing Fogarty Street.
The ground stays damp
Summer humidity keeps the alluvial ground wet long after a storm passes, and that moisture finds every open joint in an old earthenware drain or a poorly sealed fitting.
What it means for a repair
A weeping joint on the flats isn't always a broken fitting; sometimes it's saturated ground pressing water into a gap that only shows up in the wet months. We check which one you've got before quoting.
That's why we ask where in the suburb the job is when you ring. A fitting up on the hill above the brook and the same fitting down near the Billabong Street low ground can be two different diagnoses.

Stafford Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3067 4274Can you replace galvanised pipe in an old Stafford house?
Yes, we swap rusted galvanised supply lengths in older Queenslanders and check flow at the most distant outlet, because the line under the yard usually sets the job, not the tapware on the wall.
Where does Urban Utilities' responsibility stop?
Urban Utilities maintains the street main and the public side of the connection in Stafford; everything past it, including your meter tap and every house pipe, is the owner's to repair.
Can you find a leak without digging up the lawn?
Usually yes, because we work along the pipe run from your meter, isolate sections and compare readings until the search narrows, so the lawn around a Shand Street block stays intact unless digging is needed.
Is a patio gas bayonet a job you take on?
Yes, gas fitting is one of our six plumbing services, done under the same QBCC licence, so a bayonet for the barbecue or a new heater point is a routine booking.
Do you do the rough-in for a bathroom reno?
We do, and a bathroom refresh in one of the Housing Commission cottages usually means running new wastes beneath the timber floor instead of cutting through a slab, so we quote it as its own job.
