FAQs
Why is my tap in Mascot constantly dripping even after I tighten it?
A persistent drip usually means the internal washer, cartridge, or O-ring is worn out or damaged. Overtightening can actually split the washer and make the leak worse. Our local Mascot plumbers can quickly inspect the tap, identify the failed component, and replace it with a high-quality part so the leak stops and water pressure is restored.
Can you replace my old tap with a modern water-saving mixer while you fix the drip?
Yes. We carry a range of WaterMark-approved mixers, quarter-turn taps, and sensor-activated fittings on our service vehicles. During the same visit we can disconnect the old tap set, upgrade pipe connectors if required, install the new fixture, and test for flow, temperature balance, and leaks. Upgrading while repairing saves a second call-out fee and can cut household water use by up to 30 %.
How much does a dripping tap repair or full fixture replacement cost in Mascot?
Typical costs are: • Basic washer/O-ring replacement: $120–$180 (includes parts, labour, GST, and call-out). • Ceramic cartridge replacement: $180–$260, depending on brand. • Complete fixture replacement (standard mixer supplied and installed): $280–$450. • Premium designer fixture replacement: $450–$650. We provide a fixed, written quote on site before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
How long will the repair or replacement take?
Most dripping tap repairs take 20–40 minutes. A full fixture replacement generally takes 45–90 minutes, including removal, pipe preparation, installation, and final testing. We stock common parts on the truck, so there’s rarely a need for a second visit unless you request a specialty fitting.
Do you offer a warranty on your plumbing fixture replacements?
Absolutely. All workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, and the new fixtures carry the manufacturer’s warranty—usually 5 to 15 years depending on the brand. If a part we supplied fails under warranty, we return free of charge to repair or replace it.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Mascot?
Yes. Every technician is fully licensed by NSW Fair Trading, holds current public liability insurance, and follows AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards. We also comply with Sydney Water requirements for backflow prevention and issue Certificates of Compliance on completion, giving you peace of mind that the job meets all legal and safety regulations.
