A real person answers, day or night
A dripping tap is rarely just background noise
That steady drip is wasting water every hour it continues. Ring (02) 9072 0511 and describe which tap's playing up.
Original two-handle taps and what's replaced them since
- Bathrooms and kitchens built through the 1960s-80s wave near streets like Patanga Road commonly still run their original two-handle taps Washers inside those fittings wear at a predictable rate, and a tap that's never been serviced is usually well overdue.
- A single-lever mixer works differently and fails differently too Instead of a washer, a worn ceramic cartridge is almost always the cause of a mixer that drips or feels stiff to turn, a different part but just as quick to replace.
Tap repair services we provide
Every tap fault a household actually deals with, this list sits inside our wider plumbing service:
Dripping and leaking tap repair
Worn washers, jumper valves and seals get replaced properly, stopping a persistent drip at the source rather than just tightening a handle that'll loosen again within weeks.
Mixer tap and cartridge replacement
A stiff, dripping or inconsistent single-lever mixer gets opened up and its worn internals swapped out, so the handle moves the way it did when the tap was first fitted, no full replacement needed.
Outdoor and garden tap repair
Loose, leaking or seized outdoor taps get resecured or replaced properly, built to cope with a hose left connected under tension for most of the warmer months.
Tap replacement and upgrades
Where a fitting's genuinely beyond a sensible repair, or a household simply wants a style upgrade, we supply and fit a full replacement to match the existing plumbing cleanly.
Kitchens, bathrooms and gardens each wear taps differently
- A kitchen mixer used dozens of times a day wears out faster than almost any other tap in the house Daily use across a family household puts real hours on that one fitting well ahead of the bathroom taps used far less often.
- A garden tap on a block that runs downhill toward the reserve copes with more strain than a flat-yard equivalent Weight from a coiled hose pulling at an angle works the wall fitting loose faster than most people expect.
Common tap problems we fix
A tap that keeps dripping no matter how tightly it's turned off
Over-tightening a worn tap doesn't fix a failed washer or seal, it just accelerates wear on the rest of the fitting, and replacing the actual worn part properly stops the drip for good.
A mixer that feels stiff or difficult to turn
A stiff mixer handle usually means the internal cartridge has started binding as it wears, and replacing it restores the smooth action the tap had when it was new.
Why a dripping tap is worth fixing sooner rather than later
Left alone, a dripping tap costs more than most people assume:
- The water meter keeps counting whether anyone's listening to the drip or not A tap left dripping for a full billing quarter can push an unremarkable bill up by a surprising margin.
- A worn washer left in place damages the valve seat underneath it What starts as a simple washer swap can turn into replacing the whole tap body if the fault's ignored long enough.
- An outdoor tap leaks somewhere nobody's really watching for it A garden bed soaking up a slow leak hides the problem for far longer than the same fault would last on a tap inside the house.
How it works
How a tap repair runs, start to finish
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0511 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
Swapped and run through
The worn part comes out, the replacement goes in, and your plumber cycles the tap through hot, cold, full pressure and shut-off before calling the job finished, confirming it's actually fixed rather than just quieter for now.
- 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 Frenchs Forest
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 Frenchs Forest 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.
Most tap repairs are done and dusted in a single visit, no return trip needed.

Good questions, straight answers
Tap repair questions Frenchs Forest locals ask
Old two-handle taps near Patanga Road, house built in the 1970s. Are parts for those even still available?
Almost always, washers and jumper valves for older two-handle taps are common stock, and if a specific handle or spout genuinely can't be sourced, swapping to a modern mixer is the practical fix.
Why does a tap sometimes drip only after the water's been off, like after a water outage?
Trapped air or grit disturbed by water being shut off can affect a washer or cartridge that was already close to worn, so it's usually a pre-existing fault the outage simply exposed.
The garden tap near the back fence keeps working itself loose at the wall. Normal?
Fairly common, movement in the fitting from repeated use combined with a hose left attached under tension works the connection loose over time, and resecuring it properly stops the cycle.
Is a dripping tap actually worth fixing quickly, or can it wait?
Worth fixing quickly, a tap dripping steadily wastes a genuinely surprising amount of water over weeks, and the fix itself is usually one of the fastest, most affordable jobs we do.
Can a single-lever mixer be repaired, or does the whole tap need replacing?
Usually repaired, most mixer faults come down to a worn cartridge inside the body, and swapping just that piece has the tap working properly again without buying a whole new fitting.
Does a standard tap repair come with any guarantee?
Yes, every repair is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so should the same fault reappear because of our own workmanship, we return and put it right. No questions. No cost.
