Dripping Taps
A worn washer or a scratched seat lets water past the spindle, and we dress or renew whatever the tap needs so the drip stops properly on the first visit.

Tap Fixes Around Morayfield
A single dripping mixer runs quietly all night and all day, and most tap faults are small, quick fixes when they are caught early. The same drip left for months chews into seats, O-rings and your water bill, so the sooner it is looked at, the smaller the job.
Tap Work on Two Building Waves
Two building waves, two kinds of tap
Low-set brick homes went up around the main road strip through the eighties and nineties, and the land east of the Bruce Highway kept opening through the 2000s, so a Forest Hills Drive address might carry near-new mixers while an older street nearby still runs original spindle taps.
Acreage runs, harder shutoffs
On the semi-rural fringes, taps sit at the end of long pipe runs, so wear and pressure behave differently block to block, and a seized shutoff out there matters more than one in town.
Second-round washers
Fittings installed during the estate boom of the nineties are now working through their second set of washers and O-rings, which is exactly the age mixers start dripping at the spout and spindles start stiffening up.
Tap Work We Carry Out
Every tap in the house and yard gets the same treatment, whatever its age:
Stiff Spindles
A spindle that seizes usually has a jammed jumper or swollen packing, so we strip the tap, clean the body, grease the threads and rebuild it so it turns freely.
Leaking Mixers
Cartridge mixers hide their wear inside, so a drip from the spout usually means one worn cartridge, which we swap with the right part rather than a whole new mixer.
Garden Taps
Outdoor taps cop sun, storms and mower knocks, and a weeping garden tap on a big block wastes litres, so we rewasher them on the spot or fit new assemblies.
Laundry and Sink Taps
The pair of taps behind the washing machine and under the sink seize from years untouched, so we free or replace them before a perished hose turns into a flood.
Basin and Bath Taps
Pillar taps on the basin and bath wear at the seat and O-rings, so we replace washers and seals together, stopping the drip and the stiff handle in one visit.

Why Taps Start Dripping
A Worn Washer
Most drips come down to a washer hardened by hot water, and a fresh one plus a quick seat check ends the ticking noise at night and the meter creep.
A Damaged Seat
A groove in the brass seat shreds new washers, so if the drip returns weeks after a fix, the seat needs re-facing, which we do before fitting another fresh washer.
A Failed Cartridge
Mixers close on a cartridge rather than a washer, and when one wears out the handle drips, stiffens or runs warm, so we swap the cartridge as a whole unit.
High Pressure Wear
Pressure straight off the street main wears tap seals faster, so a run of taps failing together points at the supply side, and we check that before selling you parts.
Why a Drip Is Worth Fixing
Small faults have a way of becoming big ones, and taps are the classic case.
Water waste adds up
A fast drip does not stop for nights, weekends or holidays, and several dripping fixtures across a big household push the bill steadily upward until each one is closed off properly.
Small leaks point at bigger ones
A tap that keeps dripping after two washer changes usually has a seat or pressure problem behind it, and the same pressure wearing your taps may be working on flexible hoses and valves too.
Stiff taps get broken taps
A spindle you have to force eventually cracks the body or strips the thread, and a cracked tap body means water where you do not want it.

Tap Questions From the Neighbourhood
Call (07) 3523 6428Why do taps in Morayfield homes drip again soon after a washer change?
A groove worn into the brass seat shreds every fresh washer you fit, which is common in the older brick estates here, so we re-face the seat before the next one goes in.
Do I repair my own taps or does Unitywater?
Unitywater looks after the street mains, while every tap inside your boundary belongs to you, so washer and cartridge repairs are yours to book and ours to carry out under licence.
Can one dripping tap really show on my Unitywater bill?
A fast drip wastes more water than most people expect, and on the big four-bedroom houses common here at the last census, several dripping fixtures together add up surprisingly quickly.
Do homes east of the Bruce Highway in Morayfield need different tap parts?
They can, because spindle taps from the older brick estates take different washers to the mixers fitted in the newer homes built through the 2000s on that side of the highway.
Can you swap my old spindle taps for mixers?
Yes, converting basin or bath spindles over to mixers is routine plumbing, and we quote the swap and any wall work in writing before anything on the wall gets opened.
