A dripping or hard-to-turn tap may need servicing or a replacement assembly.

Little Bay Plumbing · Sydney

Understanding the issue

Start with the right diagnosis.

Worn washers, damaged seats, cartridges and deteriorated tap bodies can produce similar symptoms. The correct remedy depends on the tap design and condition.

How we approach the work

Before proposing a replacement, check whether an appropriate service is practical and whether parts remain available.

Before you book

A tap that requires excessive force to close can suffer further damage. Seek advice rather than continuing to overtighten it.

What helps us quote or plan

  • Your Sydney suburb and property type
  • When the issue started and whether it is getting worse
  • Which fixtures or systems are affected
  • Relevant photos or system details, if safe to provide

We will discuss the scope, access and availability before an appointment is confirmed. Any price or repair method depends on inspection and the agreed work.

Service questions

Useful answers about leaking tap repairs.

Why does my tap drip after closing?

A continuing drip can reflect worn sealing components, though a short residual drip may simply be water draining from a spout. Observe how long it lasts and which temperature setting is involved. The remedy depends on the tap type.

Why are my taps hard to turn?

Stiff operation can relate to internal wear, deposits, damage or unsuitable components. Forcing a stuck handle may damage its mechanism. A plumber can check whether servicing or replacement is practical.
