Country mixers and garden taps
A drip is sometimes a washer or a cartridge; sometimes the body is worn and a new tap is the cleaner fix. We take the tap far enough apart to see, then quote a fixed price for the service or the replacement. Garden taps on a rural frontage can loosen in the wall or drip into a garden bed and look like a leaking service. We check both.
Parts and isolation
We carry common mixer cartridges and spindle parts, but some older bodies are better replaced than rebuilt. Isolating the house or the relevant branch before we start keeps the mess down. The quote you agree to is for that tap, on that day.
Garden taps and country laundries
A dripping garden tap on a rural frontage can soak a bed and look like a leaking service. We check the tap and the nearby pipework so you are not paying for a trench when a jumper valve would do, or the other way around. Country laundry taps and cistern taps get the same look: service if the body is sound, replace if it is not, quoted as a fixed price before we go further. Call 03 8658 7379.
When to isolate and book
If the tap will not shut, or water is getting into a cupboard or a wall, isolate if you can and book promptly on 03 8658 7379. A small drip into a basin can usually wait a day or two. We carry common parts, but we will tell you on site if the body is finished and a new tap is the cleaner fix, with the price agreed before we go further.
Trafalgar pipes at a glance
Trafalgar sits on the Princes Highway in Baw Baw Shire, postcode 3824, between Yarragon and Moe, with farmland, weatherboard houses and larger rural blocks spreading toward Thorpdale, Willow Grove, Narracan and Trafalgar East. Many homes here run a rainwater tank as well as, or instead of, a town supply, and a good number still have a septic system rather than a sewer. Water services can be long runs down a gravel drive, and earthenware or PVC drains pick up roots from paddock and roadside trees.
We use cameras, locators, pressure tests and acoustic leak detection so we can see the pipework before anyone cuts a wall or opens a trench in a paddock lawn.

Leaking Tap Repairs: common questions
How much does it cost for a plumber to replace a leaking tap?
It depends on whether the job is a washer, a cartridge, a failed body or a replacement. We look at the tap and quote a fixed price before we start.
How do I fix a tap that is leaking from the top?
A leak from the handle or the bonnet is often a worn O-ring, but forcing it can snap an old spindle. Isolate the tap if you can and call us.
How much will a plumber charge to fix a leaking tap?
You get a fixed price once we have seen the tap and confirmed whether it is a simple service or a replacement.
What should I do if my tap is leaking water?
Isolate that tap or the house if you can, put a bucket under the drip, and call 03 8658 7379 if it will not shut or if water is getting into a cupboard.
