Stopping the drip and freeing up a stiff mixer
That steady overnight drip and the mixer gone stiff to turn are the two most ignored faults in any home, yet both are quick to cure and trivial next to the water they waste. Ring (02) 9072 0592.
Designer mixers on the rebuilds, classic taps on the rest
Every kind of tapware
Cartridges, not whole taps
Fixed, not upsold
The tap and mixer work we do
Tapware covers everything from a laundry cock to a kitchen mixer, and these are the fixes we make across the home, each carrying a written price up front before we lift a tool:
Dripping taps
Reseating the worn seat and renewing the washer inside a dripping tap, we stop the steady loss that stains a basin and creeps onto a metered bill, restoring a clean, positive shut-off that holds firm for years rather than months.
Mixer cartridges
Swapping the worn, salt-bitten cartridge at the heart of a stiff or weeping mixer, we bring back the light, smooth action it had when new, sparing the far greater cost of replacing an entire designer tap over one failed part.
Garden taps
Freeing and renewing the seized spindles and perished washers of exposed outdoor bib taps, we get a garden and laundry supply turning cleanly again, replacing the salt-corroded fittings that a home near open water wears out well ahead of schedule.
Full replacement
Where a tap is corroded beyond a sensible repair, we remove it and fit new tapware of your chosen style, adapting the connections beneath so a fresh mixer or pillar set sits cleanly on old pipework never made for it.

Common tap faults we fix
The tap that will not stop
A tap that keeps dripping after it is turned off hard has a perished washer or a scored seat letting water past, and reseating and rewashering it delivers the clean, complete shut-off that stops the waste for good.
A stiff or seized handle
A handle that has grown hard to turn, or a mixer stiffening month by month, points to a worn cartridge or a salt-bound spindle, and freeing or renewing that part restores the light, easy action the tap should have.
A weeping spindle
Water seeping from under the handle when the tap runs means the spindle O-ring or gland has perished, and renewing that small seal stops the drip escaping around the top before it stains the tapware and the surface below.
Why a dripping tap is worth fixing
A dripping tap feels too small to bother with, which is exactly why it costs households so much over time:
- The waste adds up fast A steady drip loses litres a day through the meter, so a quick repair pays for itself against the bill it silently inflates every quarter.
- Fittings and surfaces suffer Constant water marks and corrodes a basin, sink or benchtop, and a mineral-stained fitting or a rusted spindle costs far more to put right than the washer that would have prevented it.
- A small fault turns big A drip left alone wears the seat until the whole tap needs replacing, so a timely washer keeps good tapware serviceable instead of forcing an early, avoidable swap.
How it works
How a tap repair works, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Sorted from the van
Common tapware parts travel on board, so a dripping or seized tap is usually stripped, rewashered and tested during the same visit, and the fitting left turning sweetly before we go.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Sandringham
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Sandringham works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
A worn tap often shows up alongside a wider kitchen plumbing refresh or the broader plumbing services we run.
Where we work
Areas we service
Our tap work runs beyond the point through Dolls Point, Sans Souci, Ramsgate, Ramsgate Beach and Kogarah Bay, bringing the same first-visit washer, spindle and cartridge repairs to the salt-worn kitchen, bathroom and garden taps right across this waterside corner.
Good questions, straight answers
Tap and mixer questions from Sandringham locals
Is a dripping tap really worth calling a plumber for?
It is, because a steady drip wastes a surprising amount of metered water over a quarter, and the repair itself is quick and inexpensive compared with the slow damage a running tap does.
My mixer tap has gone stiff and stiffens more each month. Can it be fixed?
Usually yes, a stiff mixer normally means a worn or salt-affected cartridge, and swapping just that one cartridge restores the smooth, light movement without needing to replace the whole tap body.
Why do my outside taps seem to seize up faster than the inside ones?
Exposed garden taps cop the salt-laden air off the water directly, so their spindles and washers stiffen and corrode sooner than sheltered indoor tapware, which is why they need attention a little more often.
Can you replace a tap with a completely different style?
Yes, we can swap traditional pillar taps for a mixer or fit new tapware of any style, reworking the pipework beneath so a fresh look sits cleanly on your existing lines.
Do you charge a call out fee to fix one tap?
Not a cent to assess it, with a $0 call out fee a licensed plumber can look at a leaking tap and price the fix without charging you to turn up.
Will you have the parts to fix my tap on the spot?
Most of the time, yes; the van keeps washers, spindles, cartridges and tap seats aboard, so a leaking or seized tap is normally sorted then and there without a second trip.
