Why fix leaking taps?
A leaking tap might not seem urgent, but constant dripping wastes water, increases your bill and can stain sinks, baths and basins. Stiff or noisy taps can also be a sign of worn internal parts or high pressure that may damage other fittings.
Having taps repaired or replaced by a licensed plumber stops the leak properly and helps protect the rest of your plumbing.
- Save water and reduce your water bill
- Prevent staining and damage to sinks, baths and vanities
- Fix noisy, stiff or hard to turn taps
- Reduce stress on pipes and tapware from high pressure
- Upgrade the look of kitchens, bathrooms and laundries

Deegan did an outstanding job disconnecting our old heater. He was not only incredibly efficient but also very friendly and professional throughout the entire process. His expertise was evident from start to finish, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his work. Highly recommend Deegan for anyone in need of exceptional service!

The whole experience was fantastic, with a great team of people arriving, on time, to complete a long list of items around my home. Everyone was polite & ensured that things were as I wanted, with ongoing confirmation regarding anything that needed clarification. Everything was left clean & tidy, with new appliances all checked & demonstrated.
I highly recommend using Elite Trades Australia & will happily engage them if I have future requirements.

Tim and Rami replaced our old hot water system with Emerald All-In-One Heat Pump Heater on 16/9/2024. They're very professional and polite. Did great job installing, took away old heater and cleaned all rubbish away. Gave me detailed information about operation of the system. All was done quickly with smiles and everything is working well.

Alex and Arian replaced my old heat pump with a new system in less than two hours while the wind speed was 70km/h and they didn’t complain. They took all the rubbish. The job was completed with a neat and clean finish. They were very professional and well mannered and I was asked how I preferred the wiring to be, they even drained the old system’s water outside the property. they didn’t mess up my property they used the old screw holes and couldn’t tell that the system was replaced that’s how good the final result was. I am very happy and will use them again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a leaking tap really waste that much water?
- Yes. A slow drip can waste many litres of water every day. Over a month or a year that adds up to a lot of wasted water and higher bills, even from a single tap.
Should I repair or replace my leaking tap?
- It depends on the age and condition of the tap. Many leaks can be fixed with new washers or cartridges. If the tap is very old, corroded or has been repaired multiple times, replacing it with a modern unit is often a better long term option.
Why is my tap hard to turn off or makes a screeching noise?
-
This is usually caused by worn washers or cartridges, build up inside the tap or high water pressure. A plumber can strip the tap, replace worn parts and check pressure to fix the problem.
Can you work with tapware I have already bought?
- Yes. If you have already chosen and purchased taps, we can install them as long as they are suitable for your plumbing and meet Australian standards. We can also supply quality tapware if you prefer us to handle everything.
What happens during a leaking tap repair visit?
- We start by checking which taps are leaking and how they operate. We then isolate the water, dismantle the tap, replace or repair internal parts, reseat as needed and reassemble. Once finished we test operation, check for leaks and clean up the work area.
