Tap Repairs
A dripping tap wastes water and sleep. We swap washers, re-seat worn spindles and replace leaking mixers in flats and cottages alike, with the common parts on the van.

When to Ring About General Plumbing
Most calls sort into one of six jobs, and a minute spent matching yours to the right page saves a ring-around:
- A tap that drips all night, a hot tap gone stiff or a mixer leaking at the base: tap repairs.
- A cistern that keeps filling, a pan that will not flush or a loo that runs between uses: toilet repairs.
- A shower gone weak, a basin draining slow or grout going mouldy behind a wall: bathroom plumbing.
- A sink blocked with grease, a tap over the bench or a dishwasher that will not drain: kitchen plumbing.
- A water bill climbing while everything looks dry: leak detection.
- Gas work: a cooktop swap, a bayonet for a heater or a repair on a gas line: gas fitting.
Slow drains everywhere and cold showers sit on their own pages, the drainage and hot water pages, and we link those below where they matter.
Old Stock Behind Fresh Paint
Pre-1940 cottages sit alongside low-rise flats and newer apartment blocks, and most of what looks renovated is old bone under fresh paint.
The numbers say the same
The last census recorded a median age of thirty-two, households averaging about 2 people, and just 18 dwellings added through approvals across five years.
That mix shapes the parts tray
A washer in a century-old spindle, a mixer in a 1980s flat, a gas point added when a cottage was converted: same visit, very different fittings.
The Six Booked Jobs We Handle Most
Each of these has its own page with the full detail. Here is the short version of what each one covers and when you would call:
Toilet Repairs
A cistern running all night is usually a worn inlet valve or a flapper gone soft. We rebuild the insides of a suite, and we swap whole suites when a pan cracks.
Bathroom Plumbing
Showers, basins, bath taps and floor wastes. A slow leak behind tiles is the usual call here, because in a flat block one drip does its damage several storeys down.
Kitchen Plumbing
Sinks, bench taps, dishwashers and the trap under the bowl. Grease from a small flat kitchen sets hard in a short run of pipe, so we clear the line and reset the trap.
Leak Detection
A bill climbing with nothing you can see means water is escaping somewhere hidden. We trace it stage by stage, from the meter to the wettest point, without pulling your bathroom apart first.
Gas Fitting
Cooktops, heater bayonet points and gas pipe repairs sit under our licence's gasfitting classes. Smell gas right now? That is the gas leaks page instead, read from outside.

Fix It Replace It or Keep It Working
Every fitting sits somewhere on a three-way line, and knowing where saves you paying for the wrong end of it:
Maintain
Washers, seals and cistern valves are small parts fitted on a booked visit. If a tap still shuts and a cistern still holds, this is the end you want.
Repair
A sound body with one failed part gets fixed, not replaced: a re-seated tap, a rebuilt cistern, a joint re-made where a fitting let go.
Replace
When the part is gone or the pipe itself is failing, replacement is the honest answer. A rusted galvanised service line in one of the oldest cottages, a cracked pan, a mixer corroded through the body.
The galvanised lines are the local wrinkle. Some of the oldest houses still carry steel service pipes from early re-plumbing, and once flow chokes and the unions rust, replacing the line costs less than fighting it forever.
Gravity Does Half the Work Here
The streets climb a ridge, and the plumbing notices. Trams once worked their way up Leichhardt Street, which tells you how sharply these roads leave the crest.
Strong grades move water fast
Drains laid on a slope carry the water and drop the solids wherever the run levels out, so the quiet blockages gather at the flat spots.
Storm months load it
Rain piles in between November and March, and the exposed crest takes the breeze while the water heads downhill in a hurry.
Two identical jobs can price differently
ten streets apart: a blocked line halfway down the slope behaves nothing like one sitting near the top, and we quote with that in mind.

Questions Before You Book
Call (07) 3067 4289Can you fix the old taps in a pre-1940 cottage?
Yes, we re-seat worn tap bodies, match washers to century-old spindles and keep original tapware working where the parts allow, so a heritage cottage keeps its fixtures instead of losing them.
Who owns the pipes at my Spring Hill unit?
Urban Utilities looks after the mains under the street, and everything on the property side of the connection belongs to the owner, so repairs past that boundary are a private job.
Can one booked visit cover several small jobs?
Yes, mention each dripping tap, stiff mixer and running cistern when you call, and we price the entire list in a single booked visit instead of three separate trips across the suburb.
Do you handle gas as well as water?
Yes, gasfitting sits alongside plumbing and drainage on our QBCC licence, so a new cooktop, a heater bayonet point or repairs to a gas line all fall under the one number.
I rent my flat. Can I book work on the place?
Tenants ring us often in this mostly rental suburb, but the owner or property manager approves the quote, so we paper the job properly for the landlord before any work starts.
