Stop the Drip — Fast, Affordable Tap & Toilet Repairs

A dripping tap or a constantly running toilet might seem like a minor annoyance — but both waste significant amounts of water and inflate your bills every single day they are left unfixed. In Perth where water costs are a real concern, getting these small issues sorted promptly is one of the easiest ways to reduce household running costs.

We carry the most common washers, cartridges, inlet valves, and flush mechanisms on the vehicle so the majority of tap and toilet repairs are resolved in a single visit. If you are ready to upgrade rather than repair, we can supply and install quality tapware and toilet suites to suit your budget and style.

All work is carried out by a fully licensed WA plumber with upfront pricing before we start. We serve homes and rental properties across Perth North of the River and the Bunbury & South West region.

What We Fix

Tap & Toilet Services We Cover

From a simple washer to a full toilet suite replacement — no job too small.

Leaking & Dripping Tap Repairs

A dripping tap can waste thousands of litres per year. We replace worn washers, cartridges, or o-rings and restore a proper seal — or replace the tap if it has reached the end of its life.

Tap Replacement & Upgrades

From basic lever taps to high-end mixer and pull-out kitchen taps — we supply and install quality tapware that suits your budget and fits your existing pipework.

Running Toilet Repairs

A constantly running toilet can waste up to 100,000 litres per year. We diagnose the cause — worn flap valve, faulty inlet valve, or incorrect float height — and fix it properly.

Cistern & Flush Mechanism Repairs

Weak flushes, slow-filling cisterns, and dual-flush buttons that stick are all fixable. We repair or replace internal cistern components to restore full function.

Toilet Suite Replacement

When a toilet is cracked, beyond repair, or simply outdated, we supply and fit a new WELS-rated toilet suite — pan, cistern, and seat — to Australian Standards.

Isolation Valve & Stop Tap Repairs

Seized or leaking isolation valves under sinks and behind toilets need fixing before they become a problem in an emergency. We repair or replace them quickly.

FAQ

Tap & Toilet Questions Answered

Everything you need to know before you call.

How much water does a dripping tap waste?
A tap dripping once per second wastes approximately 30 litres per day — over 10,000 litres per year. A faster drip or a running toilet can waste significantly more. Beyond the environmental impact, this shows up directly on your water bill. Fixing a dripping tap almost always pays for itself quickly.
Can you repair a dripping tap or do you need to replace it?
In most cases we can repair a dripping tap by replacing the washer, cartridge, or o-ring. If the seat is damaged, we can re-seat it on-site. Replacement is only recommended when the tap body itself is cracked, corroded beyond repair, or simply old enough that further repairs are not cost-effective.
Why does my toilet keep running after I flush?
The most common causes are a worn or warped flap valve (the rubber seal at the bottom of the cistern), a faulty inlet fill valve that does not shut off correctly, or a float set too high so the cistern overfills. All of these are straightforward repairs. A running toilet is often silent but can waste up to 100,000 litres per year, so it is worth fixing promptly.
How much does a tap repair cost in Perth?
A standard tap washer or cartridge replacement is one of the more affordable plumbing jobs. Cost varies depending on the tap type and accessibility. We provide a fixed price before starting so you know exactly what you will pay. There are no hidden call-out or diagnosis fees.
My toilet is rocking — is that a plumbing problem?
Yes. A rocking toilet usually means the floor flange or the sealing collar underneath has failed, which can also allow sewer gases to escape into the room. Left unaddressed it can damage the floor and the connection to the waste pipe. We can re-secure the pan and replace the collar seal.
Can you replace my old taps with modern ones?
Yes. We supply and install a wide range of tapware — mixer taps, lever taps, wall-mounted taps, and pull-out kitchen taps. We can recommend options that match your existing fittings and pipework configuration so no major alteration is needed.
What is water hammer and can you fix it?
Water hammer is the banging or knocking sound in pipes when a tap is turned off quickly. It is caused by a pressure surge in the pipe. Left unaddressed it stresses joints and fittings over time. We can fit a water hammer arrestor or pressure limiting valve to resolve it.
How long does a tap or toilet repair take?
Most tap repairs take 30 to 60 minutes. A toilet repair or cistern rebuild typically takes 1 to 2 hours. A full toilet suite replacement, including removal of the old pan and installation of a new one, usually takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours. We carry common parts on the vehicle, so most jobs are done in a single visit.
