Professional Tap Repairs & Modern Installations

The most common culprit behind a persistently dripping tap is a worn-out rubber washer or a damaged O-ring. Every time you turn the tap on and off, these internal seals are subjected to friction and pressure, which eventually causes them to harden, crack, or degrade over time.

In more modern mixer taps, the issue usually lies within the ceramic cartridge. If sediment or grit from the water supply gets trapped inside the cartridge, it can score the ceramic plates, breaking the watertight seal. Regardless of the tap style, forcing the handle tighter will actually cause more damage to the internal valve seating, so it is best to have us replace the worn components promptly.

Absolutely. If you have already selected and purchased your own tapware for a bathroom fit-out or kitchen renovation, we are more than happy to handle the professional installation. We will ensure the fixtures are compatible with your existing plumbing setup and perfectly fitted to your benchtops or sinks.

However, we always highly recommend checking that any tapware you supply carries the official Australian WaterMark certification. Installing non-compliant, cheap imported fixtures is illegal in Western Australia and can void your home or business insurance if they fail and cause flooding. If you haven't bought them yet, we can easily supply premium, certified options for you.

Water hammer is that loud, jarring thud or banging noise you hear inside your walls when a tap is turned off quickly. It happens when fast-flowing water is suddenly halted, sending a powerful shockwave back through the pipework, which can eventually weaken joints and cause burst pipes.

While the issue is often related to poorly secured pipes behind the walls, the type of tapware you use can definitely exacerbate the problem. Older, fast-closing quarter-turn taps or solenoid valves on washing machines are notorious for triggering water hammer. We can install specialised water hammer arrestors or upgrade you to soft-closing mixer taps to absorb the shock and protect your system.

Yes, we provide comprehensive tapware solutions tailored specifically for commercial, industrial, and hospitality environments. These settings require heavy-duty fixtures that can withstand high-volume, continuous daily use without failing or leaking under pressure.

From pre-rinse spray valves in busy restaurant kitchens to hygienic, hands-free sensor taps in public washrooms, we supply and install fixtures built for extreme durability. We ensure all commercial installations meet the strict accessibility and compliance standards required for Western Australian businesses.

In many cases, a standard leak or a stiff handle can be completely resolved with a comprehensive service, which involves dismantling the tap, cleaning the internal seating, and replacing the washers and O-rings. This is a highly cost-effective way to extend the life of your existing fixtures.

However, if the brass body of the tap is heavily corroded, the internal valve seat is severely pitted, or the exterior chrome finish is peeling away, a full replacement is the smartest financial choice. Pouring money into repairing a degraded fixture is a false economy, and we will always provide honest advice on when it is time to simply upgrade to a modern, reliable unit.
