Sydney leaking tap specialists

The crew that stops dripping taps across Sydney every day

Leaking taps are the job we’re called for most; a quick, tidy fix when it’s done by someone who does it daily. We arrive with washers, O-rings, jumper valves and the common ceramic disc cartridges already on the truck, so most drips are gone before we pack up.

From a dripping kitchen mixer in Marrickville to a spitting quarter-turn vanity tap in Bondi and a corroded laundry tap in Penrith, our licensed Sydney plumbers have re-washered, re-sealed and re-cartridged thousands of taps. Every job starts by finding out why it leaks; a perished washer, a worn valve seat, high water pressure; not just guessing, so it stays fixed.

Before vs After

What changes when a licensed plumber fixes the tap properly?

A leaking tap is one of the easiest jobs to bodge; a wrong-size washer or a scored valve seat and it’s dripping again within weeks. Here is exactly what shifts when a licensed Sydney plumber handles it instead of a guess-and-hope DIY fix.

Before

DIY guesswork or a handyman

  • The visible symptom has no confirmed source
  • A repair is chosen before the cause is checked
  • Access or price changes are left unexplained
  • The same symptom returns without further testing
  • There is no clear handover record
Licensed Fixed Today plumber giving a thumbs up

After

Licensed Fixed Today repair

  • The fault is checked with a suitable diagnostic method
  • The likely cause and repair options are explained
  • The scope and price are approved before paid work
  • The result is tested before handover
  • Relevant invoice, warranty and compliance records are supplied
What you’ll actually get

The exact thread you’ll see on tap repair day

No marketing fluff. Every leaking tap customer gets a thread like this on the day; booked, plumber assigned, ETA, vehicle ID, knock at the door. You always know what’s next.

  1. Booked

    A real plumber assigned, in writing.

    Your 2-hour window, plumber name, vehicle and the exact job; confirmed by SMS within minutes. Not a queue, not a callback.

  2. Routed

    Live ETA, refreshed as they drive.

    Once your plumber leaves the depot the ETA SMS auto-refreshes. No need to call and ask whether they’re still coming.

  3. Warned

    5-minute heads-up at the door.

    We text when the plumber is 5 minutes away, including vehicle and plate so you know who’s knocking before you open the door.

  4. Honoured

    Late-fee waiver, automatic.

    Miss the window without warning and the call-out portion of your invoice is automatically waived. No claim form, no negotiation.

On-Time, Live

We turn up when we say we will; here is the proof

Every tap job we attended today, with the booked window, the actual arrival time, and whether we hit it. We publish the misses too; and waive the call-out fee when we cause one.

The honest comparison

What other tap repairers won’t tell you.

Side-by-side with what most homeowners actually get when they pay someone to “fix a drip”; no spin, no fine print. Just what we include as standard, and what tends to quietly get left off elsewhere.

How It Works

What happens when you call us about a leaking tap in Sydney?

Same upfront pricing whether it’s a single dripping mixer this morning, a whole house of tired washer taps, or a run of taps in a commercial kitchen. Here is exactly what to expect from the first call to the warranty.

Step 01
Step 01

Tell us what the tap is doing

Why licensing matters

Licensed plumber vs. unlicensed worker

Plumbing work in NSW must be carried out by a licensed plumber. It is not just a formality, licensing protects your home, your insurance, and your right to recourse if something goes wrong.

Licensed plumber

What you get

  • Work is insured and meets the National Plumbing Code
  • Compliance Certificate issued for every job
  • Home insurance and warranty stay valid
  • Statutory warranty backed by NSW Fair Trading
  • Clear path to dispute resolution if needed
Unlicensed worker

What you risk

  • Work may breach the NSW Plumbing and Drainage Act
  • No Compliance Certificate: issues at resale
  • Home insurance claims commonly denied
  • No statutory warranty on the work performed
  • Limited recourse: Fair Trading cannot assist
Our NSW Plumbing Licence 236784C Fixed Today Plumbing Pty Ltd

Most home insurance policies will not pay out for damage caused by unlicensed plumbing work. A burst hot water unit from a non-compliant install can void cover on the entire claim, often tens of thousands of dollars.

Customer Reviews

What Sydney says after we’ve stopped the drip

A leaking tap is a small, nagging problem; the drip you hear at night and the bill you notice later. These are real customers; washer taps, mixers, outdoor taps; telling you what the experience was actually like.

4.8★★★★★ 4.7★★★★★ 4.6★★★★★ 4.5★★★★★
Chris O’Brien Yelp
★★★★☆

Solid work on our kitchen mixer tap replacement. The plumber suggested a better quality tap than what I originally picked and it’s been great. Fair pricing and tidy workmanship. Would recommend to neighbours.

Leaking Taps Mosman
Mark Henderson Facebook
★★★★☆

Good honest service. The plumber was upfront about what needed fixing versus what could wait. Appreciated that they didn’t try to upsell. Job was completed quickly and cleanly. Only reason for 4 stars is the initial wait time was a bit longer than quoted.

Leaking Taps Newtown
Ryan Patel Trustpilot
★★★★★

Called about a running toilet that was wasting water. They sent someone the same afternoon and it was sorted within an hour. Flat rate pricing, no call-out fee, and the plumber was friendly and knowledgeable. Exactly the kind of service you want.

Used Fixed Today for a stormwater drainage issue at our property. They did a camera inspection, showed me the footage, and explained the options clearly. The repair work was completed on schedule and they followed up a week later to check everything was flowing properly.

★★★★★

Our hot water system died on a Friday night. Fixed Today came out Saturday morning, diagnosed the issue, and gave us clear options with pricing before starting any work. New system installed same day. Professional, punctual, and genuinely helpful.

Had a gas fitting job that two other plumbers quoted differently on. Fixed Today explained exactly what was needed, showed me the compliance requirements, and completed the work with full documentation. Very impressed with the professionalism.

Homeowner’s Handbook

How to keep your taps drip-free

A short editorial guide written by our senior plumbers. No fluff, no scare tactics; just the habits and checks that stop a tap dripping in the first place, and how to tell a proper repair from a lazy one.

Homeowner checks

The six things every homeowner should know about leaking taps

  • A drip isn’t harmless; it’s money down the sink
  • Know your tap type; it decides the fix
  • If new washers keep dripping, blame the seat
  • High water pressure is a silent tap-killer
  • Repair or replace? It depends on the tap
  • Know what a proper tap repair looks like
Quote checklist

Walk-away signs on a tap repair job

  • They quote a “new washer” without ever looking at the tap
  • The valve seat is never checked or re-cut
  • Water pressure is never tested
  • No price given until the tap’s already apart
  • They push a whole new tap before trying a repair
  • No workmanship warranty on the repair
Trust check

Verify a plumber’s licence yourself. Service NSW lets anyone verify a plumber’s contractor licence in under a minute; and mains tap work legally requires one. Bookmark the link: it’s the single most useful tool a homeowner has.
