Need a Fast, Reliable Fix For a Leaking Tap?
A dripping tap can be extremely irritating, it wastes water, drives up bills, and may indicate a deeper issue in your plumbing. At Weekend Plumbing Co., we handle leaking tap repairs across Brisbane with fast turnaround, honest pricing, and workmanship that lasts.
We service homes across Brisbane Northside, Southside, and Moreton Bay.
How We Fix Leaking Taps
We don’t just stop the drip, we get to the root of the problem. Whether it’s a worn washer, a corroded seat, or failing tapware, our licensed plumbers use high-grade replacement parts and the latest techniques to ensure your tap works like new.
We carry all the tools and components needed for most repairs on the spot.
Why Leaking Taps Need Immediate Attention
That slow drip may seem minor, but it can waste thousands of litres per year. Left untreated, it can cause water staining, mould growth, and even damage to cabinetry or floors. Fixing a leaking tap early is one of the simplest ways to protect your home and budget.
Potential Costs of a Leaking Tap
Aside from water wastage, the ongoing issue of a leaking tap can lead to higher water bills and property damage that could cost hundreds of dollars in repairs. Water damage, particularly in cabinets, floors, and walls, can quickly escalate and require extensive repairs. By addressing a leaking tap early, you can prevent costly damages and reduce your water usage.

Types of Taps We Repair
Understanding the type of tap you have can help you choose the best repair solution. Here are a few common types we repair:
- Standard Mixer Taps: Commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms, these taps are known for their convenience, offering both hot and cold water from one fixture.
- Jumper Valve Taps: Commonly used in older systems, jumper valve taps often wear out over time, leading to leaks or difficult operation.
- Ceramic Disc Taps: Known for their longevity and smooth operation, these taps may leak if the ceramic discs become damaged.
- Quarter and Half-Turn Taps: These taps require only a small turn to control water flow. Over time, seals can degrade, causing leaks.
- Outdoor Bib Taps: These taps are often subject to weather conditions and can rust or corrode, leading to leaks.
And if your tapware is beyond repair? We’ll help you select and install a modern replacement that fits your budget and water efficiency goals.

Signs Your Tap Needs Repair
If you’re unsure whether your tap needs fixing, look for these common signs:
- Dripping Water: This is the most obvious sign of a leaking tap. If it’s constant, it can waste a significant amount of water over time.
- Low Water Pressure: A leak in your tap may reduce the pressure, affecting your daily water use.
- Unusual Sounds: If you hear a hissing or running water sound even when the tap is off, it could be due to an internal leak.
- Visible Wear and Tear: Cracked or damaged washers, O-rings, or seals often lead to leaks. These parts can become worn over time, causing a loss of water control.
- Rust or Discoloration: Rust or mineral buildup on or around your taps can indicate a deeper issue, potentially resulting in leaks or water flow problems.
Preventing Future Leaks
The best way to avoid future tap leaks is by scheduling regular maintenance with a trusted professional. Over time, seals, washers, and other parts wear out, but replacing them before they fail can extend the life of your taps. At Weekend Plumbing Co., we offer inspection services that identify potential problems early, saving you time and money.

If your taps are beyond repair or if you're renovating your kitchen or bathroom, upgrading to new, modern tapware is a great option. We provide professional installation of high-quality taps that are designed to improve both the functionality and aesthetics of your space.
