Common Dripping Taps Issues in Canberra
Worn Tap Washers
The most common cause of dripping taps in Canberra homes is a worn rubber washer. Over time, the washer deteriorates and no longer creates a watertight seal, causing a constant drip.
Faulty Ceramic Disc Cartridges
Modern mixer taps use ceramic disc cartridges instead of washers. These can crack or wear out, causing leaks. Ceramic cartridge replacement requires the correct part for your specific tap brand.
Corroded Tap Seats
In older Canberra homes, the tap seat (the brass fitting the washer presses against) can become corroded or pitted, preventing a proper seal even with a new washer.
From Our Plumbers
"A single dripping tap can waste over 20,000 litres of water per year. When we fix dripping taps in Canberra, we always check the tap seat as well as replacing the washer — this ensures the repair lasts and the drip doesn't come back."

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to fix a dripping tap in Canberra?
Dripping tap repairs are one of our most affordable services. The cost depends on the type of tap and parts required. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
Can you fix all types of taps?
Yes, our plumbers repair and replace all tap types including mixer taps, pillar taps, wall-mounted taps, garden taps, and specialty tapware from all major brands.
How long does a tap repair take?
Most dripping tap repairs in Canberra take 30-60 minutes. If the tap needs replacement, we can often complete the job on the same visit.
Is a dripping tap really that serious?
While not an emergency, a dripping tap wastes significant water — up to 20,000 litres per year. It also increases your water bill and can cause staining on sinks and basins.
Should I repair or replace my dripping tap?
If the tap is relatively modern and in good condition, a repair is usually sufficient. If the tap is old, corroded, or you want to update your tapware, replacement may be a better option.
Do you carry tap parts on your vans?
Yes, our plumbers carry a wide range of tap washers, ceramic cartridges, O-rings, and other common parts. For most dripping taps in Canberra, we can complete the repair on the first visit.
