Tap and mixer repairs, from old cottage washers to high-rise mixer cartridges
One worn washer can waste a bath of water a week and ruin a night's sleep with its drip, yet most tap faults are a quick fix once the right part goes in; call (02) 9072 0502.
What tap repairs involve in this suburb
Washers in the old stock
Mixers in the towers
Pressure that bites
Tap repair services we provide
Whatever the tap and wherever it sits, the fix comes down to the seat, the cartridge, the washer or the valve behind it, and we handle the lot:
Dripping washer taps
Dripping washer taps in the older cottages usually need more than a new washer, so we regrind the seat, renew the washer and o-rings, reseat the spindle, silencing the drip and restoring a tap that shuts with a light touch.
Mixer tap repairs
Mixer taps stiffen, grind or weep when the ceramic cartridge wears, so we match and fit the correct replacement cartridge for your brand, bringing back the smooth single-lever action and the clean shut-off the mixer had when it was new.
Outdoor and garden taps
Outdoor and garden taps crack, seize or leak at the wall where weather and age take their toll, so we replace the tap and its rough-in connection, adding a backflow-safe fitting so the garden hose never risks the drinking water.
Valve replacement
Valve failures behind a tap, from a seized stop tap to a leaking isolation valve, leave you unable to shut water off quickly, so we swap the faulty valve for a quality quarter-turn unit that works when it truly matters.
Where dripping taps keep us busy

Common tap faults we fix
Constant dripping
A tap that will not stop dripping has a hardened washer or a scored seat, and while it seems minor it wastes litres daily and ruins the tap, so we renew the worn parts and it stops for good.
Stiff or grinding mixer
A mixer lever that grinds, sticks or gets harder to turn is wearing its ceramic cartridge, and left too long it can seize entirely, so we replace the cartridge before it fails and the smooth action returns.
Water hammer
A bang in the pipes when a tap shuts off is water hammer, driven by loose pipework or high pressure, and beyond the noise it stresses every joint, so we secure the runs and tame the pressure to quiet it.
Why a dripping tap is worth fixing now
A dripping tap feels trivial until you add up the wasted water, the stained basin and the seat damage it slowly causes, and on strong local pressure that only accelerates, so fix it early:
Wasted water you pay for
Damage to the tap itself
Sleep and sanity
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
We strip the tap, renew the seat, washer, cartridge or valve it actually needs, then run it hot and cold and check for the faintest weep, so the tap leaves turning smoothly rather than merely dripping a little slower.
- 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 Rockdale
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 Rockdale 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.
Beyond a single tap we also handle kitchen plumbing upgrades, shower repairs and the sudden burst pipe jobs a failed flexi hose can cause.
Where we work
Suburbs we also cover
Taps drip the same everywhere, so we carry washers, cartridges and valves to homes in Banksia, Bexley, Arncliffe, Brighton-Le-Sands and Kogarah, where the older bathrooms and unit kitchens keep the same worn tapware turning up on our run.
Good questions, straight answers
Tap repair questions Rockdale locals ask
Can you stop a dripping tap for good?
We regrind the worn seat and renew the washer and seals rather than just swapping the washer, which is why our tap repairs hold instead of dripping again within weeks.
Do you repair mixer taps or only replace them?
Most stiff or weeping mixers just need the ceramic cartridge matched and replaced, so we repair where we can and only suggest a new mixer once the body itself is corroded.
Can you fix a leaking outdoor or garden tap?
Cracked or seized garden taps are a quick job for us, and we renew the tap and its wall connection with a backflow-safe fitting that keeps the hose off your drinking water.
Why do my pipes bang when I turn a tap off?
That knock is water hammer, usually from loose pipes or high mains pressure, and we brace the pipe runs and fit or adjust a limiting valve so the banging settles down.
Are old-style washer taps worth repairing?
The traditional taps in local cottages are well worth saving, since we track down washers and spindles that fit the older bodies rather than forcing a modern set into period fittings.
Is the tap work guaranteed?
Our tap and mixer repairs are backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if a repair we made ever starts dripping again, we head back and make it right at no charge.
