A real person answers, day or night
The drip you have learned to ignore is costing more than you think
A tap that drips or a mixer gone stiff is a small fault with a running cost, so call (02) 9072 0592 and have the general plumbing put right in one visit.
Old washer taps, new mixers, one suburb
Two eras of tapware
Mixers that stiffen and drip
Supply that starves the tap
The tap and mixer work we handle
Whatever shape your tapware takes, the fix comes down to reseating, rewashering, recartridging or renewing it, and we handle every kind at the sink, basin, bath and laundry, such as these:
Dripping washer taps
The traditional taps in the older homes drip when the washer perishes or the brass seat pits, so we rewasher and grind the seat back true, stopping the drip and the maddening night-time tap that never quite closes.
Worn mixer cartridges
A single-lever mixer that stiffens, drips or loses pressure has usually worn its ceramic cartridge, and we fit a fresh one so the lever moves smoothly and the flow and temperature settle back to where they should be.
New mixer taps
When a mixer is corroded or dated beyond a cartridge, we supply and fit a new one at the sink, basin or bath, matching it to the existing holes and supply so the upgrade looks and works as it should.
Where taps wear out fastest here
Salt on the outdoor fittings
Hard-worked amenity taps
The kitchen tap, fifty times a day
The tap faults we get called to
A tap that will not stop
A washer tap that keeps dripping after you have cranked it hard shut has a perished washer or a pitted seat, and forcing it only chews the seat further, so the sooner it is reseated the smaller the job.
A stiff or spitting mixer
A mixer gone stiff to turn or spitting air and water in bursts is failing at the cartridge, often with grit from the older supply lodged inside, and running it that way only wears the fitting and the seals faster.
Why a dripping tap is worth the call
A leaking tap seems too trivial to bother with, which is why it is left for months, quietly wasting water and wrecking the fitting it sits in:
A drip adds up. A tap losing a drop a second wastes thousands of litres a year, so the leak you have stopped noticing steadily inflates the bill for a fraction of the repair.
Forcing it makes it worse. Every hard twist grinds the seat and washer further, so a simple reseat left too long becomes a seized tap or a stripped spindle.
Corrosion spreads. A weeping tap keeps the fitting and wall behind it damp, so left alone it corrodes the body and tracks moisture into the cabinetry, turning a washer swap into a replacement.

How it works
How a tap repair works, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Sorted at the tap
Isolating the outlet at its stop or the meter, your plumber strips the tap or mixer down, replaces the washer, seat or cartridge from the van, and reassembles and runs it to check the drip is gone and the flow is full.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Ramsgate
A dripping tap is the easiest job to put off and the easiest to fix well, so it is worth doing sooner.
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Ramsgate works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Tap and mixer repairs around the bay
Dripping taps and worn mixers in Ramsgate Beach, Beverley Park, Dolls Point, Monterey and Sans Souci get the same reseat, recartridge or renewal as those here, each with a $0 call out fee and the price agreed in writing before we start.
Good questions, straight answers
Tap repair questions Ramsgate locals ask
Why does my tap keep dripping even when it is off?
A tap dripping while shut has lost its washer or worn its seat, so we fit a new washer and re-true the seat, curing the drip for good instead of a few days.
Is there a call out fee to fix a tap?
No, the call out is free, so the plumber looks at the tap or mixer, tells you what it needs and gives the written price before touching a spanner to it.
Can a stiff mixer be fixed or does it need replacing?
Usually it just needs a new ceramic cartridge, which frees the lever and restores the flow without replacing the body, though a mixer corroded right through is better renewed outright.
Why do my outdoor taps seize up so quickly?
Botany Bay sits just east through Ramsgate Beach, and the salt it carries weathers outdoor tapware faster than indoor fittings, so garden and hose taps out here corrode and seize years sooner.
Do you carry the parts to fix it on the spot?
Yes, the van carries the common washers, seats, spindles and ceramic cartridges, so most dripping taps and stiff mixers are done then and there instead of on a second trip for parts.
How much water does a dripping tap really waste?
More than most people expect, even a slow drip runs to many thousands of litres across a year, so ignoring it soon costs more than the quick reseat or fresh washer would.
