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.

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.

Lovely professional and friendly guys - highly recommend!
I really appreciated Jordan’s upfront approach. He was communicative, clear about the potential cost of the project, offered helpful suggestions and turned up bang on time. He was honest about the work that would be involved, to the point of recommending a completely different approach, which was very refreshing. I’ll definitely be asking for him for future plumbing work!
Outstanding service by Tampenny. Very helpful and obliging. I very happy with my service today. I highly recommend Tampenny.

I want to thank Oliver, the plumber who came in for a complimentary check. He was very professional , courteous and did a thorough check. Thank you Oliver.
I could not recommend Network Plumbing, Electrical and Air Conditioning more highly! These people were incredible in their service, workmanship and remarkable turnaround time and everyone I dealt with was wonderful! After the first company I called to replace our broken water heater charged me to send someone to check it and then couldn’t even give me an estimate of when they could install a new one, I called Network at 2pm and had a new water heater in by 8pm. Could not be more impressed with Will, Bill and Ryan for their amazing work and professionalism! It was a great experience dealing with this company and I will definitely use them again.
Andrew , Liam and Phil were fantastic , really hard workers and did a excellent job. Highly recommended!
Good communication and response to problem
I had Jake and Sandro do two seperate jobs in quick succession and they were both excellent, speedy, clear communication, good workmanship. Would recommend
I have 4 kids and our air conditioning broke down on a really hot day — total chaos! I called Network Plumbing Services and Sally was so lovely taking my booking, super understanding and helpful. Sarkis arrived within the hour and had everything up and running so quickly. He was friendly, professional, and explained everything clearly. Couldn’t be more grateful for such fast and reliable service — highly recommend!
After a very satisfactory resolution by Network Plumbing, I wish to upgrade the rating I gave them earlier about their somewhat excessive charge. Network Plumbing acknowledged their over-estimation and met all my demands promptly, generously and with integrity. Impressive 5-star performance in this case. Thank you!
Sandro came this morning to replace a toilet. He was extremely professional and efficient. He was punctual and very courteous.
Peter responded promptly to our emergency call out and in addition to fixing the issue was very friendly and offered good advice
Fasts and reliable. Jake magic hands did a great job.
Matt, Joey & Levi did an excellent job replacing our damaged sewer pipe & leaving the dug up area in great condition. Thanks guys. Today Cameron installed our .new laundry cabinet. Looks great thanks.
I had Scott and the boys out to do a re-line. Very helpful and explained what was happening. They were all very polite and left my place clean and tidy. I would recommend them to anyone.
Team Tom and Cameron is absolutely amazing! Quickly identified the cause of blockage and cleared it up thoroughly. I really appreciated them for explaining the problem and their solution in plain words as I had no idea how the plumbings work; my 6 yo son was all ears as Tom described how they tackle the problem and now he is totally fascinated. 100% recommend Network Plumbing.
Great service. I really appreciated the thorough job and explanation of problem.
Tristan was punctual and absolutely helpful resolving the issue. Initially thought the issue is a damp motor failure. However, Tristan thoroughly tested other scenarios may be causing the issue, and diagnosed the underlying problem without having to replace any parts. Thank you Tristan for the great work and honesty. Highly recommend this business and will use them again for sure!
Excellent service and attitude. Very patient and understanding working around my 97 year old mother. On time, polite and courteous. Thank you Sandro, Reece and Rob for your work , both plumbing and electrical.

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.
