Same-day fixes for leaking taps, toilets, sinks, showers and basins. Whether you’re calling for the first time or you’ve been a client for 20 years, the same team handles the call, the diagnosis, and the work. No tiered “senior vs junior” rates — just qualified, licensed, insured plumbers who do this every day across Northside Brisbane.
Almost always a worn-out tap washer or O-ring — over time the rubber compresses and stops sealing properly. Sometimes it’s the valve seat itself that’s pitted, in which case we’ll re-seat it with a small tool rather than replace the whole tap. Either way, it’s a 15–30 minute fix on a single tap and saves you a surprising amount on the water bill.
Yes — usually it’s a faulty inlet or outlet valve in the cistern, and a small drip is enough to add hundreds to your annual water bill. Most cisterns we just rebuild the internals on rather than replacing the whole unit, which keeps the cost down. If the bowl itself is cracked or the suite is more than 20 years old, we’ll talk you through replacement options.
Most of the time, yes. Modern mixers and quarter-turn taps can have just the cartridge swapped out, which is far cheaper than a full tap replacement. We carry common cartridges in the van. If the tap is genuinely past its life (corroded, mismatched chrome, leaking from the body) we’ll quote replacement options, including water-efficient models that pay back over time.
For a non-emergency tap drip we typically get you booked in within 1–2 working days, often same-day if you’re flexible on time. If the leak is bad enough that water is pooling or running, treat it as urgent and we’ll get you in same-day — turn the tap isolator off (small valve under the basin) while you wait.
All workmanship is covered by our 6.5-year guarantee. The cartridge or valve itself carries the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 1–5 years). If the same tap goes again within the warranty period from a workmanship issue, we come back for free.
If you’ve got more than one fixture playing up, batch them — we only need one site visit instead of three, which usually halves the total. We’ll come out, give you a single quote covering all of them, and book one appointment to knock them over. Cost-effective and tidy.
If a toilet keeps blocking despite ordinary use, the cause is usually one of three things: a partial blockage further down the sewer line, a worn or under-flushing cistern (low water volume per flush), or, more rarely, a soil pipe that’s lost its fall over the years. We’ll camera the line and figure out which it is — one quote, one fix.
