A dripping tap isn’t just annoying—it wastes water and can lead to bigger plumbing issues if left unfixed. The good news? Fixing it is straightforward when you know what to look for. Follow these steps to repair a leaking tap before it turns into a bigger problem.
Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply
Step 2: Disassemble the Tap
Step 3: Identify and Replace Worn-Out Parts
Step 4: Apply Waterproof Lubricant

One slow dripping tap can have you using an extra 9,000 litres of water a year. When you notice a leak, it’s time to take action. Contact Network Plumbing – the expert leaking tap plumber Sydney homeowners rely on – for a full assessment before the water pressure or water damage takes hold. A simple phone call could get your tap fixed before any significant damage is done. We are on call 24 hours a day!

Sydney Leaking Tap & Toilet Repairs Services
While we might only notice our plumbing when things aren’t working properly, house plumbing maintenance is an essential part of preventing problems like a leaking shower, a dripping tap, or a toilet repair that you just can’t put off any longer. Much like your car, your house requires general plumbing maintenance in Sydney from time to time.
However, there are several areas homeowners should keep in mind when it comes to plumbing maintenance.
Check all taps inside the home, run your finger around the base of your tap to check for any excess water.
Open the cupboard under the sink to check for any pooling of water.
Notice the inside of your sink, looking for water stains.
Do not overturn your tap; this will wear the washer faster than necessary.
Be mindful of washing machines and their connection at the back of the machine.
Don’t forget outside—check hoses and external taps.
Ignoring small leaks or water stains could be signs of hidden water leaks, which, if left unchecked, may lead to costly water damage and repairs. When it comes to plumbing maintenance, simply being observant and periodically checking these areas can help you avoid nasty surprises in the future.

We struggled to have any plumber who wanted to take on the job. Then Ryan came along. We were quoted on the spot and we were booked in straight away. Matt came by to do the job for us, he was so nice and informative. Professional and efficient and nice to boot. I can't remember the receptionist's name but she knew exactly what I was talking about. So helpful. Thankyou.
Phillip did a brilliant job, friendly, professional, and got the job done efficiently.highly recommended👍
Just had some Downlights upgraded with Network Reece could not be more helpful and professional
Ryan, Phil & Oliver were very professional, helpful & fixed my several problems.
Great work by Oliver Jake and Phil. Everything works perfectly
Matthew was swift to respond and diagnose the issue with our lack of water pressure. Initial estimates indicated the need to temporarily bypass a section of piping until we could locate the blockage before performing a more permanent solution. During testing for pipe location it was determined a faulty isolation valve was the culprit negating the need for the temporary solution and significantly reducing the cost of the solution. Matthew was courteous and professional throughout and once diagnosed correctly was a swift fix, would highly recommend.
Over two days of working outside to unblock a private stormwater easement affecting four properties on the same easement, Phil and Matthew brought us success. Happy to have them anytime. Great workers. Network you certainly have the right people for the job.
Network Plumbing is excellent! Another emergency blocked loo! So close to Christmas I didn’t think the issue would be resolved and I would have cancel planned celebrations . One phone call and Tim arrived within 3 hours resolving the problem. Tim is absolute gentleman! Every person I deal with at company is so professional. It says a lot about the owner, Scott who staff speak so highly of and respect . I cannot recommend this company more highly. Number 1 in my opinion!! Thank you for coming my rescue again Network plumbing. Kerrie-Ann
Phillip and Shaun. Very happy with the service
Phillip and Chase have done a marvellous job here today. Arrived on time, worked very efficiently and finished in very good time. Did a beautiful job!! Thanks chaps!! Hope we don’t need you again but would really welcome you if we do!!
I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Network Plumbing. The plumber, Spencer, was polite, prompt and professional. He communicated my plumbing issues so I understood my options and then followed through with quotes and action. Excellent service! 👍

Frequently asked questions
Do you have more burning questions about leaking taps, a blocked toilet or your plumbing system? Here are some plumbing solutions.
Stopping a dripping tap usually involves replacing worn internal components such as washers, O-rings, cartridges, or ceramic discs. The exact fix depends on the tap type and age.
While some drips look minor, ongoing leaks often indicate internal wear that needs proper inspection to prevent further damage or water waste.
You don’t always need a plumber for very simple tap issues, but many leaks are caused by internal components that require correct tools, parts, and experience to replace properly.
If the tap continues dripping after basic attempts, or if it’s leaking from the base or wall, a licensed plumber ensures it’s fixed correctly and doesn’t lead to hidden damage.
Common causes include worn washers, damaged O-rings, failed cartridges, high water pressure, or general wear over time. In Sydney homes, mineral build-up and older fittings can accelerate internal wear.
Identifying the correct cause is key – replacing the wrong part often leads to continued dripping.
The cost to fix a leaky tap depends on the tap type, access, and whether parts are readily available. Some taps are quick fixes, while others require specialised components or additional work.
Rather than guessing over the phone, we assess the tap on site and explain what’s involved before proceeding.
Yes – even a slow drip can waste thousands of litres of water each year and increase water bills. Over time, leaks can also damage fixtures, cabinetry, or internal pipework.
Fixing a dripping tap early is usually quick and prevents larger issues later.
A leaking stop tap can become urgent if it’s actively dripping, difficult to turn, or leaking near walls or cabinetry. Stop taps are critical control points – if they fail, isolating water during an emergency becomes difficult.
Having a leaking stop tap assessed early helps avoid bigger problems later.
No, while washers are common in older taps, many modern taps use cartridges or ceramic discs. Replacing a washer in the wrong tap type won’t fix the issue and can cause further leaks.
Correct identification of the tap mechanism is essential.
