Leaking tapware may drip from the outlet, seep around the handle or allow water to escape below a basin, sink or laundry trough. Renovations can combine new fixtures with older isolation valves and pipe connections, so the repair needs to follow the exact leak source.
Traditional taps, ceramic-disc products and mixers use different parts. We check washers, O-rings, cartridges, valve seats, flexible connections and isolation valves as relevant.
A serviceable tap with available parts can often be repaired. Replacement may be more economical when the body is cracked or corroded, parts are unreliable, the fixture is unstable or the same tap has failed repeatedly. You receive a practical explanation before the work proceeds.
If water is spreading, use a known, accessible isolation valve or the main supply only when safe. Move stored items away and keep water clear of electrical equipment. For an uncontrolled supply connection call 03 9481 8686 or use emergency plumbing Pascoe Vale South.
We attended a Pascoe Vale South property for a shower mixer that continued leaking and could not be removed by the occupant. The mixer was dismantled, its cartridge and internal sealing surfaces were inspected, and the repaired control was reassembled and tested.
Selected photos show the mixer before work, the removed cartridge and the reassembled control. Address-watermarked duplicates are excluded.





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.
