Taps We Fix
Every tap in the house is fair game for us: basin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, garden tap, shower and bath. We handle the full general plumbing range, and taps are the job we do most often, because a worn washer is the most common plumbing fault there is.
Tap Work on Old Lines
Galvanised supply behind the wall
The older weatherboard Queenslanders that survive among the fibro and brick-veneer post-war cottages can still run galvanised supply lines, and the tell-tale is a tap that flows weaker the further it sits from the meter.
Mixers stacked in tight walls
Townhouse and duplex infill around Stafford City packs wall mixers and flexible connectors into narrow plumbing walls, so a cartridge job there starts with finding the right isolator, not pulling fittings off.
Spindles as old as the estate
The 1950s building rush left whole streets with original tapware, and a cottage on Lutana Street or Buddina Street can still carry the brass bodies from that era, which are worth servicing rather than binning because the casting often outlasts three sets of washers.
Tap Repairs We Carry Out
From a single dripping basin to a full set of new garden taps, this is the spread of tap work our plumbers do on our regular runs, with every job priced before a tool comes out of the bag:
Tap Repairs and Servicing
Washers, jumper valves, O-rings and body washers replaced, spindles reseated and repacked, and handles freed up, so the tap that kept you awake last night finally runs silent again tonight.
Mixer Tap Repairs
Cartridges swapped, flexible connectors checked and ceramic discs replaced in lever mixers, which suits the units and townhouses near Stafford City where a single wall mixer serves the whole bathroom.
Tap Replacements
New taps fitted to sinks, basins, laundries and gardens, matched to your existing pipe thread, so an old fixture past repair comes out and a clean, working one goes in.
Outdoor and Garden Taps
Garden taps replaced or moved, wall breech plates repaired and points run to where the hose reaches, which matters on quarter-acre blocks where the tap sits a corner too far.
Four Tap Problems We See
Most tap faults come down to one of these four, and each one has a fix that fits inside a single visit:
The Tap That Drips
A worn washer or a scored seat lets water past the closed position, and every drip is metered water you pay for, but a reseal stops it the same visit.
The Handle That Won't Move
Decades of turning on a post-war spindle packs the thread with hardened grease and mineral scale, so we strip, clean and repack rather than forcing it until something snaps inside.
The Tap That Sprays
A perished O-ring or a loose gland nut sends a fine spray sideways from under the handle, and swapping the seals and re-nipping the gland has it completely dry again.
The Tap That Trickles
Weak flow at one outlet while others run fine points to a partly closed isolator or a furred aerator, and either is a small fix, not a new pipe run.
Why Fixing Taps Promptly Matters
A tap is small, simple and connected to everything, which is exactly why it deserves attention before the small fault becomes the big one:
Water you're paying for
A steady drip runs all day and all night, straight off your meter and down the drain. Fixing it is one short visit; ignoring it is a slow leak in your usage every billing period.
Damage that spreads
A spray from under a handle lands on silicone and timber, and a weeping gland above a vanity quietly swells the cabinet below it. The repair gets dearer the longer the water has somewhere to sit.
A warning about the pipe behind it
Sometimes the tap is the messenger: a tap that's gone stiff, weak or noisy can be telling you the isolator, the flexi hose or the supply line behind it is on the way out. We check those while we're there.

Tap Questions From Stafford
Call (07) 3067 4274Why do taps drip so often in older Stafford houses?
Because the post-war cottages here still run original brass spindles and seats, and decades of turning wear the washer and score the seat until water sneaks past, which a reseal fixes.
Can you fix a wall mixer in a unit near Stafford City?
Yes, because mixers fail at the cartridge rather than the body, so we shut the isolators, swap the cartridge and check the flexible connectors behind the wall while we are in there.
Does a tap losing pressure mean my pipes are failing?
Sometimes, because weak flow at the far end of an old house can be galvanised pipe rusting closed, so we test the outlet first before quoting any pipe work.
Who owns the pipes feeding my taps?
You do, since the water main in the street is Urban Utilities' responsibility, while each pipe and fitting past the connection on the property side is yours.
Can one dripping tap run up my Urban Utilities bill?
It can, because a tap dripping day and night sends metered water down the drain, and fixing it costs far less than the many months of usage it wastes.
