Tap Repairs & Replacement Sydney
A dripping tap wastes more water than most people realise — up to 20,000 litres a year from a single slow leak. Our licensed Sydney plumbers fix all tap types quickly, with upfront pricing before work starts.
We repair and replace:
- Dripping or running taps (washer and cartridge replacement)
- Mixer taps and two-handle sets in kitchens and bathrooms
- Outdoor garden taps and laundry taps
- Wall-mounted and bench-mounted tapware
- Smart taps and filtered water systems
- Lever, ceramic disc, and compression-style taps
Common tap problems we fix:
- Tap won’t stop dripping even when fully closed
- Handle is stiff or hard to turn
- Water sprays sideways or has reduced flow
- Tap handle is loose or spinning
- Hot and cold are reversed after a previous repair
- Tap is leaking at the base, not the spout
If you’ve already bought the tap and just need it installed, we do that too — just let us know the brand and model when you book.
Sink Repairs & Replacement Sydney
A broken or cracked sink left unrepaired causes water damage to the cabinet underneath within days. Whether it’s a hairline crack, a damaged seal, a blocked waste, or a full sink that needs replacing, our plumbers carry out the complete job — not just the plumbing connections.
Broken or Cracked Sink Repair Sydney
We assess broken and cracked sinks and advise on repair vs replacement honestly. In many cases a sink with minor cracking or a failed sealant joint can be restored without replacement. Where the sink is past repair — typically visible structural cracks, large chips near the waste, or delamination in composite sinks — we’ll quote a replacement on the spot.
We repair and install all sink types:
- Undermount kitchen and bathroom sinks
- Top-mount basins and laundry troughs
- Vessel and above-counter basins
- Stainless steel, ceramic, stone resin, and acrylic sinks
- Double bowl kitchen sinks
- Commercial and café sinks
Sink issues we fix:
- Leaking waste or overflow
- Broken or cracked basin
- Sink not draining or draining slowly
- Sealant failure causing water under the bench
- Noisy or smelly sink drain
- Full sink replacement for kitchen or bathroom renovation

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to repair a dripping tap in Sydney?
A standard tap washer or cartridge replacement costs between $80 and $150 in Sydney, including labour. If the tap body itself is worn or the valve seat is damaged, the cost may be higher — we’ll assess it and give you a fixed price before starting.
Is it worth repairing a leaking tap or should I just replace it?
For taps less than 10 years old, repair is usually the better value option. For older taps with corroded bodies or discontinued parts, replacement is more cost-effective long-term. Our plumbers will give you an honest recommendation rather than defaulting to whichever option costs more.
How much water does a dripping tap waste?
A tap dripping once per second wastes roughly 12,000 litres per year. A fast drip can exceed 20,000 litres. That adds up to approximately $40–$80 on your water bill annually — which means a repair typically pays for itself within months.
Can you repair a broken or cracked sink?
Yes. We assess cracks, chips, and sealant failures and advise whether repair or replacement is the better option. Minor cracks and failed seals can often be fixed without replacing the sink. Structural cracks, especially near the waste outlet, usually mean replacement is needed.
I've already bought a tap — can you just install it?
Yes. We install customer-supplied tapware. Just let us know the brand, model, and what the existing setup looks like when you book so we can confirm compatibility and give an accurate quote.
My tap was recently repaired by someone else and now it's leaking again — can you fix it?
Yes. We frequently attend second-opinion jobs and re-repairs. We’ll diagnose the underlying issue — often an incorrect washer size, improper seating, or a worn valve seat that the original repair didn’t address.
How long does a tap repair take?
Most tap repairs and replacements are completed in 30 to 90 minutes. A more involved job like replacing an in-wall mixer or installing a new sink with new waste fittings may take 2–3 hours.
Do you replace kitchen sinks during renovations?
Yes. We work alongside cabinet makers, builders, and homeowners on kitchen and bathroom renovations. We disconnect the old sink, install the new one, connect water supply lines, install the waste and overflow, and reseal — leaving the area clean and ready for benchtop work.
Are your plumbers licensed?
All our plumbers are fully licensed under NSW Fair Trading and carry public liability insurance. We can provide licence numbers on request.
Do you offer emergency tap repairs?
If a tap is gushing or a sink connection has burst, we treat it as an emergency. Call 0488 822 795 — our team operates 24/7 and can attend within 90 minutes across most Sydney suburbs.
