Our Professional Tap Repair Service in Melbourne

Our team of professional tap repair plumbers can accurately diagnose dripping and leaking taps, unusual noises, and pressure issues, all common signs of a faulty tap.

At Joniec Plumbing, our licensed plumbers not only replace washers and corroded fixtures but also help prevent excessive water wastage. Furthermore, we work to stop minor issues from escalating into serious problems such as flooding, water stains, mould, and cabinet swelling. Even a slightly dripping tap can waste around 100 litres of water per week, ultimately costing you valuable resources and money.

Moreover, our dedicated team can effectively service kitchen, bathroom, and laundry sink taps, as well as toilet, shower, and garden taps. In addition, we handle washing machine and dishwasher taps with expert care. We also provide detailed advice on recommended replacement taps and fixtures that best suit your lifestyle and usage needs. Whether you prefer basic slimline taps or eco-friendly water-saving options, we ensure the best repair solutions tailored to your requirements.

Signs Your Tap Needs Repair

A tap rarely fails all at once. Catching the early signs of a leaking tap saves water, prevents damage, and keeps a small job from becoming an expensive one. Call a licensed plumber if you notice any of these:

  • A constant drip from the spout or handle, even when the tap is turned off firmly.
  • A tap that will not turn off, or that needs extra force to stop the flow. This usually means a worn washer, O-ring or cartridge.
  • Squealing, knocking or whistling when you turn the tap on or off.
  • Low or fluctuating water pressure at a single tap.
  • A loose, stiff or wobbly handle, or a spout that leaks at the base.
  • Rust, corrosion or discolouration around the tap or its fittings.

Even a slow drip adds up. A single dripping tap can waste a surprising amount of water over a week, quietly pushing up your bill and leaving stains, mould and swollen cabinetry if it is left too long.

Taps We Repair and Replace

Our licensed plumbers repair and replace every common tap type in south-east Melbourne homes and businesses:

  • Kitchen and mixer taps, including single-lever and pull-out mixers.
  • Bathroom basin, shower and bath taps.
  • Laundry and trough taps.
  • Outdoor and garden taps, including hose bibs and garden mixers.
  • Washing machine and dishwasher taps.
  • Toilet and cistern connections.

Where a tap is worn beyond a simple repair, we will tell you honestly and recommend a suitable replacement, from basic slimline taps to water-saving and eco-friendly options that suit how you use the space. If a dripping tap is not your only issue, we also handle burst and leaking pipes and blocked drains across the same suburbs.

How We Repair Your Tap

Most tap repairs are quick and affordable when they are handled properly. Here is how we approach every job:

  1. Diagnose the cause: we identify whether the leak is a worn washer, a perished O-ring, a failed ceramic cartridge, a corroded valve seat, or a fitting that has worked loose.
  2. Repair or replace: we fix the fault with quality parts, or replace the tap if that is better long-term value, and we tell you the price before we start.
  3. Test and check: we confirm a clean shut-off, steady pressure and no leaks, and check the nearby fittings while we are there.
  4. Advice and guarantee: we leave you with simple advice to help it last, and back the work with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Tap Repairs: Frequently Asked Questions

The cost depends on the tap and the cause. A worn washer is a small, quick job, while a seized mixer or a corroded valve may need parts or a replacement tap. We give you a clear price before we start, so there are no surprises.
