Leaking Taps & Toilets by a licensed Shellharbour plumber servicing the Illawarra

Local leaking taps & toilets you can actually rely on

Leaking taps and running toilets are easy to ignore — until the Sydney Water bill arrives. A slow drip from a single tap can quietly waste over 20,000 litres a year; a toilet that hisses between flushes can push that past 50,000 litres. Beyond the wasted water, persistent drips chew through tap bodies, stain ceramic surfaces and create damp patches in cabinetry that attract mould.

We carry tap washers, jumper valves, ceramic disc cartridges, spindles, O-rings and full toilet cistern repair kits for Caroma, Fowler, Stylus, Roca and Geberit on the van, with fast access to anything more specialised through our local plumbing suppliers. Most leaking-tap repairs are completed in a single visit — we isolate the water, dismantle the tap, re-seat or replace the worn component, and pressure-test before we leave. Where a tap body is so corroded that re-washing won't last, we'll tell you up front and quote a fixture replacement instead of milking repeated visits.

For dual-flush toilets we replace inlet valves, outlet (drop) valves, buttons and flush mechanisms. We also check the cistern seal and pan connector at the same time — a tiny weep from the pan connector is often the real source of that vinegar-and-damp smell in the bathroom. All repairs are backed by our written workmanship warranty.
