A real person answers, day or night
A dripping tap wastes water every single day it's ignored
A small drip is tolerable right up until the constant sound and the water bill both become impossible to ignore. Call (02) 9072 0513 and this crew will fix the actual cause, not just the symptom.
Old taps and new taps fail for different reasons
- An original brass tap that's decades old often stiffens or drips from internal corrosion Years of mineral build-up and wear inside the tap body eventually affect how smoothly it operates.
- A tap fitted brand new during a rebuild can start dripping within months, not years That points squarely at how the cartridge was seated during installation, not the fitting simply wearing out already.
- Outdoor taps across the suburb face more exposure than indoor fittings Weather, and a moderate dose of sea spray for anything near the headland, both accelerate wear on tapware left outside year-round.
Tap repair services we provide
Tap and mixer repairs form part of our broader plumbing offering, covering kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor fittings alike.
Kitchen and bathroom mixer repairs
Worn cartridges, washers and seals inside mixer taps get replaced, restoring smooth operation and stopping drips without necessarily needing to replace the whole fitting.
Traditional tap repairs
Older two-handle taps with washers and separate hot and cold spindles get serviced and repaired, common across the suburb's original bathrooms and kitchens that haven't been updated to a single mixer.
Outdoor and garden tap repairs
Exterior taps take a battering from weather and, closer to the coast, salt-laden air, so this crew fixes or swaps them out with an eye on the faster wear rate that comes with living outside full time.
Full tap and mixer replacement
Where a tap's body is too corroded or worn to repair sensibly, this crew replaces the whole fitting, matched to the existing plumbing so the swap doesn't create a bigger job than it needs to.
Common tap problems we see across the suburb
Two issues turn up regularly, whatever the age of the property.
- A tap that's become genuinely difficult to turn In original-era brass fittings, this usually points to internal corrosion rather than anything that improves by forcing it harder.
- A mixer that drips steadily despite being turned off fully The seal inside has stopped closing properly, and it's a fixable fault rather than something to simply tolerate.
Why fixing a tap early is worth it
A tap fault rarely improves by itself, and the cost of waiting adds up:
- A dripping tap runs up usage every single hour it's ignored Across a full quarter, even a slow drip is enough to show up clearly on the bill.
- A forced, stiff tap eventually fails completely Continuing to force a corroded tap handle increases the risk of it seizing entirely or damaging the fitting beyond a simple repair.
- A small repair now avoids a bigger replacement later Catching a worn washer or cartridge early is far simpler than dealing with a fully corroded tap body down the track.
How it works
How we repair your tap, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0513 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Repair or replace and test
Whatever's worn, cartridge, washer or the fitting itself, gets swapped out, then the tap runs under real pressure so your plumber can confirm the drip or stiffness has actually gone.
- 04

Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Chifley
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Chifley works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Tap and mixer repairs happen just as often in Matraville, Phillip Bay, Malabar, Little Bay and Hillsdale, always to the same fixed-price terms.
Good questions, straight answers
Tap repair questions from Chifley locals
Old brass tap on a Bunnerong Road home has gone really stiff to turn, is that just age or something worth fixing properly?
Worth fixing properly, internal corrosion in an old brass tap body makes it harder to turn over time, and this crew can repair or replace it rather than forcing a stiff fitting.
Mixer tap in a new rebuild has already started dripping, is that actually plausible this soon?
Plausible and fairly common, a cartridge that wasn't seated quite right during installation is the usual explanation, and it's repaired the same way regardless of how new the fitting happens to be.
Does salt air near the Malabar coastline really affect how fast taps wear out in Chifley?
To a moderate degree, yes, southerly busters carrying salt spray age exposed brass and chrome fittings a little faster here than further inland, worth factoring into a repair or replacement decision.
Is a dripping tap always fixable with a new washer, or does it sometimes need more?
Often a washer or cartridge solves it, though a badly worn tap body or corroded seat sometimes needs the whole fitting replaced rather than just the internal part swapped out.
Can an outdoor garden tap be repaired the same way as an indoor mixer?
Similar principles apply, though outdoor taps face more weather exposure, so this crew checks for corrosion and perished washers that indoor fittings are less likely to develop as quickly.
Is tap repair work covered under the same warranty as a full tap replacement?
Yes, every repair or replacement this crew carries out is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, whether it's a simple washer swap or a full mixer replacement. </content>
