The Drip That Adds Up

A small leak wastes more than you'd think.

A dripping tap looks like a minor annoyance, but left alone it can waste a genuinely significant amount of water over a month, and the bill catches up eventually. Usually it's a worn washer or cartridge, sometimes it's a fitting that's simply had enough.

A lot of people try a DIY fix first, and a lot of the time it doesn't hold. We diagnose the actual fault and replace what's needed properly, washer, cartridge, or the whole tap, so it's a one-visit job, not a recurring one.

Good To Know

FAQs on leaking taps

There are some questions that we get asked about leaking taps.

Is a single dripping tap really worth calling a plumber for?

 Yes, it stops ongoing water waste and prevents bigger damage to fittings down the track.

Can you replace my tap entirely, not just repair it?

Yes, supply and install available if replacement makes more sense than repair.

Do you fix outdoor taps and hose connections too?

Yes.

What are the signs of a leaking tap?

Look out for:

  • Constant dripping, even when fully turned off.
  • Water pooling around the base of the tap or under the sink.
  • Rust or staining on the tap, basin or surrounding surfaces.
  • Higher water bills with no obvious change in usage.
  • A hissing or whistling sound coming from the tap when it's not in use.
  • Reduced water pressure from that fixture specifically.

If you're noticing any of these, it's worth getting it looked at before the fitting wears further or the leak gets worse. Most tap leaks come down to a worn washer or cartridge, a quick fix when caught early.
