Common Tap & Outlet Problems

Is Your Tap Costing You More Than It Should?

A dripping tap rarely stays a small problem for long. What starts as an annoying drip from a kitchen mixer or bathroom basin tap often points to a worn washer, a failing cartridge, or a cracked ceramic disc, and left unattended, that steady drip can add a surprising amount to your water usage over a few months.

Outdoor taps and laundry mixers face their own challenges on the Gold Coast, with salt air and mineral build-up causing hose cocks to seize and washing machine taps to weep at the connection. A leaking flexi hose or isolation valve under a vanity or behind a washing machine can quietly soak into cabinetry and flooring long before any obvious sign of damage appears.

Shower mixers and wall taps present a trickier issue again, since a leak behind the tiles can travel before it ever shows on the surface. If your shower diverter won't switch properly, your wall mixer feels stiff, or you've noticed water tracking into the cavity, it's worth having a licensed plumber take a look before the damage spreads further.

    How The Spit Plumbing & Drains Fixes Tap & Outlet Issues in The Spit

    The Spit Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to every tap and outlet call-out in The Spit, diagnosing the actual cause of the leak or fault rather than simply patching the symptom. Our plumbers carry a wide range of washers, cartridges, ceramic discs and tapware parts, so most repairs are completed in a single visit.

    • Reseating and washer replacement for dripping pillar, mixer and garden taps
    • Cartridge and ceramic disc replacement for stiff or hard-to-turn tapware
    • Kitchen and bathroom mixer supply, installation and replacement, including pull-out and gooseneck styles
    • Flexi hose, supply line and isolation valve repairs to stop leaks before they reach your cabinetry
    • Shower mixer and diverter repairs, including wall cavity leaks

    From a single leaking tap to a full retrofit of your home's tapware, our team handles the job with the same attention to detail and upfront pricing that The Spit residents have come to expect from The Spit Plumbing & Drains.

      Common Questions

      Tap & Outlet Repair FAQs

      We get asked plenty of questions about tap and outlet maintenance, so we've put together answers to some of the most common ones below. If you can't find what you're looking for, give our team a call and we'll talk you through it.

      A dripping tap is usually caused by a worn washer, a damaged cartridge, or a cracked ceramic disc inside the tap body, rather than a loose fitting. Tightening the handle further won't fix the underlying wear and can actually damage the tap mechanism over time. The most reliable fix is to have a licensed plumber identify which internal component has failed and replace it properly.
      While replacing a washer can seem like a simple task, modern mixer taps often use cartridges or ceramic discs rather than traditional washers, and identifying the correct replacement part isn't always straightforward. Incorrectly reassembling a tap can lead to leaks, stripped fittings, or water damage to surrounding cabinetry. Calling a licensed plumber ensures the right part is used and the tap is sealed correctly the first time.
      A leak behind a shower wall is often the result of a failing mixer valve, a deteriorated seal around the tap body, or a diverter that's no longer sealing properly between the shower rose and spout. Because this type of leak isn't visible on the surface, it can travel through the wall cavity and cause damage well before it's noticed. If you've seen discolouration on nearby walls or ceilings, it's worth having the mixer inspected before the issue worsens.
      Outdoor taps, particularly hose cocks and garden taps, are exposed to weather, mineral deposits and general wear, which can cause the internal spindle to seize or the washer to perish. Coastal air and mineral-heavy water can accelerate this process for exposed tapware. A seized outdoor tap is generally repairable, though severely corroded fittings sometimes need full replacement.
      Flexi hoses are a common point of failure under sinks and vanities because the braided lining can deteriorate with age, leading to a slow leak that's often hidden until it causes visible damage to cabinetry or flooring. If your flexi hose is older or you notice any dampness under a cabinet, it's worth having it inspected and replaced as a precaution rather than waiting for it to fail completely.
      Yes, a tap that drips consistently wastes a surprising amount of water over time, and this shows up as a noticeable increase on your water bill. Beyond the cost, a persistent leak can also lead to water staining, mould growth, or damage to fixtures if left unresolved. Fixing a dripping tap promptly is one of the simplest ways to prevent unnecessary water wastage and household damage.
