1000+ five-star reviews
A drip in the powder room, a spindle seized solid, a garden tap weeping down the brickwork: these are the small jobs that deserve proper repairs, the way these heritage homes deserve, rather than swapping parts and hoping.

A real person answers, day or night
That drip is costing you more than a good night's sleep
Book once, and the drip stops for good. Ring (02) 9072 0520 and a licensed plumber will talk through what the tap is telling you, covering Cheltenham and every street nearby with a fixed quote before work begins.
Tapware with decades of patchwork behind it
Original fittings still doing the work
Layers of DIY history
No shops, no shortcuts
Tap repairs, done on the spot
Every tap in the house gets covered, from the kitchen mixer to the garden standpipe, and four of the jobs that fill the van's tap tray week to week, all fixed on the spot, are set out below as part of the wider plumbing work we carry here.
Dripping washers and spindles
Dripping spindle taps, stiff handles and perished washers are repaired with quality parts carried on the van, so the kitchen sink, bath or laundry trough stops its overnight drip without a second visit, a wasted morning or a larger invoice.
Benchtop and ceramic mixers
Ceramic disc mixers on kitchen and bathroom benchtops are resealed, re-cartridged or replaced, and where a stone or timber benchtop is involved the worktop is protected so the swap leaves no chipped edges, scuffed splashbacks or cracked grout lines behind.
Pressure and supply faults
Fading pressure at the basin often has nothing to do with the tap itself, so the supply is pressure tested and, where corroded galvanised pipework is throttling the whole house, the real cause gets named clearly before anything is replaced.
Outdoor and laundry points
Garden taps, washing machine points and laundry troughs are rebuilt with new washers, vacuum breakers and sturdy flanges, work that matters on the ridge where a weeping outdoor tap can quietly soak a double-brick wall for many months completely unnoticed.

Why taps here misbehave
A drip that keeps coming back
A drip that returns weeks after a supermarket washer usually means the tap seat itself is pitted, and reseating or replacing the body is what actually stops the cycle rather than another washer threaded onto a rough surface.
Stiff, grinding or squeaking handles
Handles that grind or squeak point to a worn spindle or dried-out O-rings, and forcing them harder is how porcelain levers snap, so the fitting is stripped, greased and rebuilt with the correct parts before something breaks.
Pressure fading to a trickle
A tap that slows while the rest of the house runs fine has a blocked aerator or a failing cartridge, but pressure dropping everywhere at once is a supply problem, and we test before we touch, sometimes with leak detection gear to be sure.
Why a small drip deserves a prompt fix
A dripping tap looks like the smallest job on the list, which is exactly why it lingers for months, but the costs below are quiet, cumulative and avoidable with a single visit and a fixed written quote:
- Water, metered and wasted A tap dripping once per second sheds thousands of litres a year, and on a water bill that never shrinks, the repair usually pays for itself inside a season.
- Damage where the drip lands Water falling repeatedly onto a vanity, a laundry trough or a brick wall stains, rots and stains again, and the surface damage eventually costs more than the fitting ever did.
- Small faults grow into big ones A worn washer becomes a pitted seat, a stiff spindle becomes a snapped lever, and a fitting left too long becomes a replacement job rather than a repair, which is why planned maintenance plumbing visits catch taps early.
How it works
The tap repair process, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0520 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
Repair, reassemble and test
Your plumber isolates the outlet, strips the tap or mixer on the bench, replaces worn washers, spindles, O-rings or cartridges with quality parts from the van, reseats seats where needed, and reassembles the fitting before pressure testing the result.
- 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 Cheltenham
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 Cheltenham 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.
Tap repairs are small jobs, and they get exactly the same accountability as a full re-pipe.
Where we work
Where else we turn up
The same tap service runs across the surrounding suburbs, covering North Epping, Beecroft, Epping, Pennant Hills and South Turramurra, with every visit bringing the stocked van, the fixed written quote and the same care the older houses around here deserve.
Good questions, straight answers
What Cheltenham locals ask about their taps
Can a dripping tap really waste much water?
Yes, a tap dripping once per second can waste thousands of litres across a year, which shows up on your Sydney Water bill and is usually fixed in one short visit by the van's stocked parts.
Should I repair or replace a worn mixer tap?
It depends on the cartridge condition, the fitting's age and the finish, and we test all three on site before quoting, because a quality mixer usually needs only a cartridge, not the whole fitting.
Can you match tapware in the older homes near the recreation club?
Yes, period pillar taps, high-level basin fittings and ornate spouts are handled with matching replacements or internal rebuilds, so a pre-war bathroom keeps its original character while gaining washers that stop the drip.
Do you carry tap parts on the van?
Yes, the van stocks washers, spindles, O-rings, ceramic cartridges and mixer parts, so most tap repairs finish on the first visit without waiting for a supplier run or a second call out.
Is tap repair work covered by a warranty?
Every repair is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if the same fitting plays up again through our workmanship, we return and put it right without questions and without any further cost to you.
Do you repair outdoor and garden taps too?
Yes, garden taps, laundry troughs and washing machine points are covered, which matters along the leafy eastern blocks where a slow outdoor leak can soak a brick wall or waterlog a garden bed for months.
