Common Tap & Outlet Problems

Is Your Tap or Outlet Giving You Trouble?

A dripping tap rarely stays a small problem for long. What starts as an annoying drip from a worn washer or ceramic disc can quietly waste hundreds of litres of water each month, push up your water bill, and stain the basin or bath beneath it. In older Red Hill homes, a wall mixer that leaks behind the tiles can send moisture into the cavity for months before any sign appears on the surface.

A tap that's become stiff or hard to turn is often a sign the cartridge or spindle is failing, while a mixer that won't shut off completely can waste significant water and put pressure on your plumbing overnight. Outdoor taps and laundry mixers left unchecked can seize, crack or split, especially through the cooler months, leading to a burst fitting and water damage to timber decking, cabinetry or flooring below.

    • Fitting new ceramic discs and cartridges to stop stiff or leaking taps
    • Repairing and replacing wall mixers, shower mixers and diverters, including leaks behind the wall

      FAQ

      Tap & Outlet Repair Questions, Answered

      We know plumbing problems can be confusing, so our Red Hill team has answered the questions we hear most often about tap and outlet repairs. If you don't find what you're looking for, give us a call and we'll be glad to help.

      A dripping tap usually means the washer, o-ring or ceramic disc inside has worn out and can no longer form a proper seal, so tightening the handle harder only masks the problem temporarily. Mineral deposits and general wear over time also cause the internal cartridge to degrade, particularly in taps used daily. Rather than continuing to force the handle, which can damage the spindle or strip the fitting, it's worth having a plumber replace the worn component so the tap seals properly again.
      It depends on the condition of the tap body and how available replacement parts are for that particular brand and style. Many older pillar and mixer taps can be repaired affordably by replacing the washer or cartridge, especially if the tap body itself is still sound. However, if the tap is heavily corroded, the fittings are obsolete, or you're renovating anyway, replacing it with a new water-efficient tap often makes more sense in the long run.
      A stiff tap is often caused by a failing cartridge, a build-up of mineral deposits inside the mechanism, or debris that has worked its way into the valve seat. It can also point to a broader water pressure issue affecting that fixture. A plumber can inspect the internals to confirm exactly what's causing the resistance and repair or replace the relevant part.
      Yes, particularly with wall mixers and taps positioned near cabinetry or timber flooring. A slow leak behind a wall or under a vanity can travel into the cavity, encouraging mould growth and weakening structural timber long before any visible sign appears on the surface. Outdoor taps that leak into garden beds or under decking can also cause soil movement over time. Addressing a leaking tap promptly helps avoid these hidden costs.
      Absolutely. We repair and replace hose taps, laundry mixers, washing machine taps and garden taps in addition to all indoor tapware. Outdoor taps are particularly prone to seizing or cracking due to weather exposure, so it's common for us to attend to these alongside indoor repairs.
      If a tap won't shut off, locate the isolation valve under the sink or the main stop tap and turn off the water supply to that fixture to prevent ongoing waste and potential flooding. Once the water is isolated, it's safe to wait for a plumber to attend and identify whether the cartridge, washer or tap body itself needs attention.
