A tap can leak from the outlet, spindle, mixer body, flexible connection or pipework beneath the fixture. Replacing a washer will not solve every leak, particularly with quarter-turn, ceramic-disc and mixer taps. We identify where the water is escaping before recommending parts or replacement.
In renovated Essendon West homes, new tapware may connect to older isolation valves or pipework. Checking the surrounding connections helps avoid repairing the visible drip while missing a second leak below the fixture.
Repair is often sensible when compatible parts are available and the body is serviceable. Replacement may offer better value where the tap is cracked, corroded, loose, repeatedly failing or difficult to match with reliable parts. We explain the practical option before work proceeds.
Note whether the leak is constant, limited to hot or cold use, or appears only when the tap runs. If water is spreading, use the local isolation valve or main supply only when you can do so safely. For a minor contained drip, arrange a visit; for an uncontrolled connection or burst, use our Essendon West emergency plumber service or call 03 9481 8686.

The most common causes include worn-out washers, O-rings, or valve seats, a faulty cartridge or ceramic disc, loose or damaged parts, or high water pressure. In some cases, a leaking tap may also be due to corrosion or mineral build-up inside the tap.
A leaking tap can waste a significant amount of water, increasing your water bills and causing damage to your property over time. In addition, the constant drip can be annoying and disrupt your daily routine. If left unrepaired, a leaking tap can also lead to further damage to the tap and the surrounding fixtures, resulting in more expensive repairs.
A dripping tap can lead to serious consequences over time. A leaking tap wastes water, which not only increases your utility bills but also contributes to water scarcity. Additionally, it can cause damage to the surrounding area, such as water stains or mould growth, which can be hazardous to your health.
While some people may attempt to fix a faulty tap themselves, it is often best to call a professional plumber. A plumber can quickly and effectively identify the cause of the leak and provide a lasting solution. Attempting to remove a tap handle and fix a leaking tap yourself can lead to further damage to the tap or surrounding fixtures, resulting in more expensive repairs.
