Repair vs replace

Repair It, or Is a
New Tap the Better Call?

Most tap faults are quick, cheap fixes — a new washer or cartridge costs next to nothing and takes minutes. Replacement tends to make more sense when:

The tap body itself is damaged or corroded. Surface corrosion or a cracked body can't be fixed by swapping internal parts — the whole unit has to go.

Parts simply aren't available anymore. Older or less common brands sometimes have discontinued components, leaving replacement as the only realistic option.

Several things are wrong at once. A tap needing a new washer, O-ring, cartridge and handle all at the same time is often cheaper to replace outright than patch piece by piece.

You just fancy an upgrade. Plenty of people take the opportunity to upgrade a functional-but-tired tap while we're already there — we can supply and fit a new one on the spot.

You'll get an honest call on site either way — we don't push a replacement when a repair does the job just fine.

Our process

How a Tap Repair
Actually Goes

1
Finding the Actual Fault
We work out the tap type and whether it's the washer, O-ring, cartridge, ceramic disc, spindle or the tap body itself causing the problem.
2
A Fixed Price Upfront
You hear what's wrong and what it costs to fix or replace before we start — no guesswork, no invoice surprises later.
3
Fixed on the Spot
Washers, O-rings, cartridges and replacement tap sets are all carried on the van, so most jobs wrap up in one visit with no waiting on parts.
4
Tested Both Ways
We run the tap through hot and cold, check every connection for leaks, and confirm it's working properly before we leave.
Common questions

Tap Repair FAQs

Definitely. A slow drip can waste 5,000 to 15,000 litres a year, and SA Water's tiered pricing makes that add up on your bill. The fix itself is usually cheap and fast, often paying for itself in water savings within months. Worth knowing too — as a property owner in SA, you may have an obligation to get a dripping tap fixed promptly.
Physically, sure, it's not a hard job. Legally though, any work on the water supply system beyond turning a tap on and off has to be done by a licensed plumber under SA regulations. There's also a real risk of damaging the tap seat during a DIY attempt, which turns a cheap washer swap into a much bigger job.
Old-style washer (compression) taps press a rubber washer against a brass seat, and that washer wears out and drips over time. Ceramic disc taps use two precision discs sliding against each other — tougher and less prone to dripping, but they can fault if grit gets into the cartridge or a disc chips. We work on both.
Often, yes. The tricky part is finding a handle that matches the existing tap body, especially on older tapware. We'll have a look and tell you whether a handle swap is realistic or whether the whole tap needs replacing.
Yes — we fit new tapware for renovations as well as doing repairs. Bought your own taps already? We'll install them and make sure everything's compliant. Want us to supply the tapware too? We can go through options when we're on site.
