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.

Phillip was friendly
Phillip and Sean came and relined some 100 year old terracotta pipes. They arrived right on time and finished earlier than they forecast. In addition to completing the work in a timely and efficient manner they had to juggle with parking here as there’s a construction site next door. They completed all tasks including cleaning up so that it looks like they have not been here ( although I have seen the photos of the relined pipe!) Many thanks. Andrew Butler
5 stars for Grant and Network! Professional, punctual, and did a great job installing our new hot water system. He explained everything clearly, left the area spotless and made sure everything was working properly before he left. He even helped remove a drain cover which was stuck that wasn't part of the job. Excellent service and highly recommended! Thank you Grant and Network!
I’ve been using the team from Network for several years now. My go-to One Stop Shop for all my electrical and plumbing needs. Today’s job was relatively minor but Tom was - as always - on time, friendly & courteous, skilled and efficient. He got the job done and even added on the installation of a smoke alarm I’d been putting off for months. All for a more than reasonable price. Would definitely recommend.
Tristan was great. Very friendly and very prompt in fixing our aircon system. Highly recommend thanks
Phillip Shaun and Tom Drain work efficiently completed. Surrounding area cleaned up properly. All staff over the two days very polite and hardworking.
Very happy with work done by Spencer. Thorough, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Highly recommend.
On time and very efficient service from Sandro. Who took time to explain what he was doing and reported any problems, if any, on his safety check. We now feel more comfortable with our gas heater. We will be using this company again.
Thank you Spencer and Ethan for a fantastic job in identifying the major problem with my kitchen drain. This is now a permanent fix and no more drainage problems in future.

Ollie and Joey did an amazing job for us - quick efficient and left the place spotless! Thanks boys
My family home had some drainage issues where some weird gurgling sounds would threaten to bubble out through the drain when we flushed a toilet, took a shower or used the sink in the bathroom. We thought it was a blockage and bought a plunger to dislodge whatever was blocking the drain. Didn't work, google lied to us. One night, when my sister took a shower the drain decided to surprise the family with an indoor swimming pool where the water pooled out from the laundry and bathroom drains filling up both floors and out to our hallway, yay! Since it's closer to winter and not ideal conditions for swimming, we had to return this surprise gift and mopped up the water. We called Network Plumbing, Terry Hills because of their good reviews and they sent 4 of their best: Joey, Shaun, Luke and Jordan. They stuck a camera through the pipes, took pictures and diagnosed the problem with ease. Turns out the tree outfront was thirsty and wanted to steal some water from us by puncturing 2 of our pipes. The 4 did a brilliant repair job, and were quick and efficient with great senses of humour. They do a final inspection this coming Monday, but for now there is no more gurgling and everything is working as they should! Huge thanks to Joey, Shaun, Luke and Jordan!
Brad was lovely in his manner, and kept us informed of what was needed to be done/fixed along with pricing before starting the work. A very comfortable person to have in our house and the job was completed the same day. Will definitely call this business again and recommend the services
Tristan was very help. He cleaned an serviced my air conditioners very thoroughly. He is friendly, kind and professional.
Job done by Phillip,Monty and Daniel was done very quickly and professionally. Very happy.
Kieran and Aidan were very efficient and tidy workers, Kieran even took his work boots off before entering the bedroom ensuite. They double checked everything before they left and we were very happy with the switchboard upgrade.

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.
