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.

Brad is a great example of the competent, courteous professional who adds to the prestige of his employer and the satisfaction of his clients. Eight months later: a pleasure to have Brad back for an inspection -- giving clear information on which we can confidently make a decision. A fine representative of an excellent company.
The service was engaging and professional in all regards.
Trent arrived on time and after digging around where my wet patch in the back garden was, he was able to locate the specific area, but not the leak itself and is returning on Monday with the leak detector to finalise the repair.
Ryan Banner is the best!

Thanks for coming to Redfern today. Ryan arrived on time, cleaned up even the tiniest mess, took off his shoes. He is polite and knowledgeable and had all the right tools and knowledge to quote for the job. Very thorough. I appreciated how he explained clearly, took photos, video and measurements to document and took the time to really understand what the job would entail. He was clear on timelines of next steps as well. All around great experience. Thanks for coming to quote today Ryan.

Sandy, Phil and shaun - great service! Reline & installation
Had a great experience with Network Plumbing. Liam, Billy K., and Chase were very professional from start to finish. They removed the balcony tiles and waterproofing effectively and took extra care to make sure no debris ended up in the pool. They also did an excellent job cleaning up afterward, including the sliding window screen and the wooden fence around the balcony. Their attention to detail and care for our home was well noticed and appreciated. I would happily recommend Network services.
Sarkis was the air conditioning technician who arrived at my place to carry out a routine service. It had been a while since my last one & my ducted system is 15 years old. Sarkis was polite, friendly, respectful, efficient, & explained everything as he carried out his checks. He was honest about what he saw & found, & gave me options, to consider, but he was never pushy about them. He followed up, with information for me to consider. Based on my experience with Sarkis today, I would happily have this company back to my place & would happily recommend them to others. Thank you Sarkis, for your great customer service today 👏
Matt and Joey were awesome!! Spotted the problem and fixed it! Impressed with their cleaning up after the job.
Philip SHaun clear blockage
Attentive inspection and analysis from Ryan who was prompt and imformative . To be recommended.
To date the experience with Network was professional, efficient and friendly. We found them competent and probably better at diagnosing problems than Arrow Air!! We hope the installation of our new aircon is as good as the service by Sarkis
Phillip and Shaun did a great job sorting out our plumbing issues and were very professional. Thanks guys!
Ryan did a thorough job clearing a blocked drain. From start to finish he was professional, polite and punctual. I was stated a price which did not change and I was very happy with his work. I highly recommend Network plumbing to get your job done well with no fuss or miscommunication. Ray
Sean and Phillip from Network Plumbing, came very quickly to inspect and solve a plumbing issue at our property. They were both very friendly, professional and did a great job explaining the issue after they resolved it. Highly recommend their services!
We got a great and professionnal service with Ryan and clear explanations about the origine of our flushing issue 👌🏼
Ryan and Sandro were very helpful, and arrived first thing in the morning after an issue that happened in the early morning. Appreciate the clear walk through of the issue, and them providing multiple solutions to fit my budget.
Great, fast and friendly work. Thanks!
Ryan attended my property to replace the tap. He is proficient, courteous and a pleasure to work with.
Thanks Philip and Sean, a job well done with minimal fuss. I would recommend you guys without hesitation.
Ryan was great- efficient, informative and friendly. Got the job done extremely quickly. Would happily have him back for any future issues.
Excellent prompt, professional but friendly service from Jake. Margaret
On time, polite, good communication skills and very neat and tidy
Great service, thanks to Liam and Phil!
Phillip Shaun Monty. Relign and PVC pipe install.
Needed a sewer relining job done in Shellharbour. Network has excellent workmanship. They take great care and pride in everything that was needed to complete the job. Thank you on behalf of Paul and the boys from APAM
Phillip, Shaun, Billy, thanks for completing the reline installation
Ryan was so courteous and knowledgeable. The response to my gas leak was also within a few hours which was also amazing. Thank you for helping me out!
Excellent service !
I was in need of a local plumber willing to check out a 30 year old mini HWS that has never given any trouble until recently when it became clear that either the thermostat or a pressure relief valve had finally failed. After a few attempts over the long weekend that got me nowhere, I tried Network Plumbing and have nothing but compliments on the way they attended to things in double quick time. The person who took my call knew what she had to do and the plumber arrived well within the advised time period, called me ahead of time and was totally professional and polite. Jordan was quick to confirm what the fault was; he had the replacement part and was able to repair the leaking valve within 20 minutes, before checking out another small plumbing issue and advising the best way to remedy that. I would have their qualified plumber Jordan back here at any time and I was more than impressed with Network’s whole operation.
Mat and Joey were efficient and lovely to work with. And from the get-go Ryan was helpful and communicative to get the job locked in and permits sorted. Would highly recommend!
Excellent service and very professional workers. Phillip and Sean did a fabulous job and our sewer is now working perfectly.
Very polite.
He was punctual, fixed the problem onsite and gave us a good advice for maintenance.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent after-sales service provided by the Network Plumbing team. Their annual inspection service is very reassuring and thoughtfully carried out. What stood out the most was how clearly and patiently they explained the operation of the switches and the key points for ongoing maintenance. Their guidance was easy to understand and very practical for everyday use. The team’s attitude was warm, gentle, and friendly, which made the whole experience very comfortable. They gave me a strong sense of trust and safety. Overall, I am very satisfied with their service and would highly recommend them. Thank you for your professionalism and care.
Billy & Joe did an excellent job at our place, left it clean & tidy. Really nice guys & very helpful. Well worth 5 stars

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.
