A real person answers, day or night
Stopping the drip that quietly runs up your bill
A dripping tap is easy to ignore and expensive to leave. Ring (02) 9072 0502 and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it needs and when we can put it right.
Why taps wear out faster this close to the water
Salt on every seat
Outdoor taps take the brunt
Mixers on borrowed time
Tap and mixer services we provide
From a perished washer to a full set of new tapware, we pin down the cause, put the price in writing upfront, and handle most jobs on the one visit:
Washer and seat renewal
A tap that drips or will not shut off has usually worn its washer or scored its brass seat, so we renew the washer, re-grind the seat where it needs it and reset the spindle for a firm, clean shut-off.
Mixer cartridge swaps
When a single-lever mixer stiffens, drips or loses temperature control, the ceramic cartridge inside has worn out, so we match and fit a fresh one so the lever moves smoothly and the flow stops dead the moment you close it.
Outdoor tap repairs
Garden taps, hose cocks and laundry outlets on the weather side corrode and seize in the salt air, so we free or replace the failed tap, renew the wall flange and leave an outlet that turns easily and holds tight.
New tapware fitting
Whether you are updating a kitchen mixer or a bathroom set, we remove the old tapware, check the shut-offs and fit the new fittings cleanly, then test each one under pressure so no weep is ever left at the base.
Taps across the local homes
Federation terraces and fibro cottages
Renovated kitchens and bathrooms
Weather-side outdoor taps
Common tap problems we fix
Three tap complaints come up more than any others:
The drip that never stops
A tap left dripping does more than annoy, quietly losing litres each day and wearing the brass seat beyond a quick rewasher, so we deal with it while the fix is still small and the metal still sound.
A mixer gone stiff or noisy
A mixer that grinds, shudders or drips has a worn cartridge or a loose fixing behind it, so we renew the part and secure the body, freeing the lever and settling the water hammer a failing mixer sends through the wall.
Taps seized by salt
Outdoor and rarely used taps seize solid as salt corrodes the spindle and seat, and forcing one only snaps it, so we free or renew the tap and washer before a stuck handle becomes a burst at the wall.
Why a worn tap is worth fixing early
A tap fault only grows, and a quick repair now saves a bigger bill:
- A drip is quietly expensive A steady drip runs up every quarterly bill and marks a basin with lime, so the sooner it stops the less it costs.
- Salt only speeds it up In this coastal air a small leak corrodes the seat and spindle faster, turning a quick rewasher into a full replacement if left to run.
- A small job stays small A worn washer caught early is a quick fix, while the same tap ignored can seize, snap or flood a cupboard into a far larger job.
How it works
How a tap repair runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 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 and test
Once the quote is agreed, we renew the washers, seats or cartridge the tap needs, refit it cleanly and run it under full pressure, checking for a firm shut-off and a dry base before we pack up.
- 04
Backed for life
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 Botany
Even the smallest tap job gets our full standards:
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 Botany 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 work reaches the Bayside neighbours around us, Mascot, Pagewood, Eastgardens, Banksmeadow and Rosebery, where salt-heavy air wears washers and seats early, every repair quoted in writing first.
Good questions, straight answers
Tap and mixer questions from Botany homes
Why does my tap drip even after a new washer?
The brass seat under the washer has likely scored, so the new washer cannot seal against it, and re-grinding or replacing that seat is what finally stops the drip.
Can you repair a stiff or dripping mixer tap?
Yes, a worn ceramic cartridge is almost always the cause, and fitting a fresh one restores a smooth lever and a flow that shuts off cleanly again.
Why do my outdoor taps seize up so quickly?
Salt in the coastal air eats the spindle and seat of garden and hose taps on the weather side, so they stiffen and seize far sooner than sheltered indoor ones.
Is it worth fixing a dripping tap straight away?
Yes, a drip wastes litres a day and wears the seat further the longer it runs, so an early repair is smaller, tidier and kinder to the fitting.
Do I get a written quote before the tap work?
Yes. The tap is assessed and written up as one price first, and because the call out is $0 that estimate costs you nothing to get.
Are tap and mixer repairs guaranteed?
Yes, the work is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if a tap we serviced plays up again we head back and sort it, no charge.
