Every Fixture That Shuts Off
A tap that drips all night wastes water and wears its own seat, and a garden tap that won't close can flood a garden bed in a weekend. Both get done same-day where we can.
What Kedron's Tap Work Involves
Old steel supply
Some houses plumbed in the first town-water years still draw through galvanised steel, which rusts and narrows, so far taps run weak and the first draw comes out rusty. A tap fault often starts upstream of the fixture.
Raised character houses
A large share of the suburb falls within Brisbane's pre-1947 character overlay, and those weatherboard houses on stumps leave garden taps exposed to the elements, where seized spindles and split wall fittings are routine.
Mixed fixtures, mixed parts
A single street can hold an original pillar tap outside an interwar weatherboard and a recent mixer in a renovated kitchen, so the van carries both old washers and modern cartridges.
What We Fix at the Tap
Every job here starts with a fixture that won't shut off properly, from a laundry tap dripping onto the floor to a kitchen mixer seeping around its base, and includes the supply faults behind them:
Washer and Seat Repairs
A worn washer gets swapped and the brass seat underneath gets dressed smooth, because a fresh washer on a scored seat still drips, and the tap comes back shutting clean.
Mixer Tap Repairs
Ceramic discs, cartridges and O-rings inside sink mixers get replaced with matching parts, restoring a smooth lever action and stopping the slow seep that appears around the spout base and handle.
Garden Tap Replacements
Outdoor taps cop the weather, and a seized or split garden tap gets replaced, with the new one anchored so a hose yanked off it doesn't crack the wall fitting.
Pressure and Flow Fixes
Weak flow at one tap gets traced to its cause, whether a narrowed steel supply line, a jammed aerator or a closed stop tap, and the fix matches the fault.
Tap Troubles We See Often
Most tap call-outs come down to one of these four faults:
The Drip That Won't Stop
A tap that keeps dripping after new washers has a pitted seat or a worn jumper valve, and dressing the seat or fitting the right valve ends it for good.
Stiff or Jammed Handles
Handles that need two hands point to a corroded spindle or scale build-up inside an older fixture, and stripping, cleaning or replacing the spindle brings back easy quarter-turn movement again.
Water Hammer and Noise
Banging pipes when a tap snaps shut come from sudden pressure stops, and fitting a hammer arrestor or securing loose pipe runs quietens the system and protects the joints downstream.
Mixer Seeping at the Base
A base-seeping mixer has worn O-rings, and fresh seals stop water tracking along the benchtop and into the cupboard underneath, with showers and vanities under bathroom plumbing and dishwashers under kitchen plumbing.
Why Fast Tap Fixes Matter
A dripping tap is never just a drip: it's water you pay for, damage in the making and a warning about the fixture or the pipe behind it, and it's worth acting on early:
Water going to waste
A tap that drips around the clock sends water down the drain every hour of the day, and that shows on your Urban Utilities bill. Fixing it costs less than almost anything else we do.
Damage you can't see yet
Water from a slow seep at a mixer base travels beneath the benchtop and soaks the cabinet, swelling chipboard long before it shows. If it's already spreading somewhere hidden, our leak detection service finds it.
Pressure on old pipework
A tap that won't shut properly keeps pressure on a galvanised line that may already be thin, and a fixture failing at the thread can let go overnight. That's how a washer job turns into a burst pipe call.

Tap Repair Questions Answered
Call (07) 3522 5623Why do taps in older Kedron houses drip again soon after a washer change?
The seat under the washer is often pitted by decades of scale, so a new washer alone still leaks, and dressing or replacing the seat is what holds the fix.
Does rusty water from the tap mean my pipes are failing?
It can, since galvanised steel pipework rusts from the inside out in older unrenovated homes, so we check whether the discolouration clears after a short run or points to failing pipes.
Who owns the pipe supplying my taps?
Urban Utilities maintains the water main in the street, and everything from your side of the connection inward, stop tap and fixture runs included, is the owner's responsibility to maintain and repair.
Can you repair mixer taps in Kedron apartments?
Yes, mixers in units get the same cartridge and O-ring service as house fixtures, though access under compact vanities is tighter and body corporate approval may apply for shared pipework.
What makes one tap repair in Kedron cost more than another?
Fixture type, parts and access set the price, because a washer swap on an accessible laundry tap is quick, while a mixer buried in a tight vanity or a scaled galvanised line takes longer.
