Which Tap Repair Service Do You Need?

The correct repair depends mainly on whether you have traditional separate taps or a mixer, the symptoms you are experiencing and the condition of the existing tapware.

01 SIMPLE DRIPPING TAP REPAIR Tap Washer Replacement Designed for traditional separate hot and cold taps where a straightforward worn washer or serviceable internal component is causing a drip or minor leak. STANDARD REPAIR
02 MOST COMPLETE TRADITIONAL TAP SERVICE Tap Washer Replacement + Full Tap Service Better suited to older, stiff, noisy or heavily used traditional taps where more than a basic washer replacement may be required. FULL SERVICE
03 SINGLE-LEVER MIXER REPAIR Mixer Cartridge Replacement For compatible mixer taps that are leaking, difficult to operate or no longer controlling hot and cold water correctly. Standard cartridge types only. MIXER REPAIR
Tap fault guide

Washer, Full Service or Mixer Cartridge?

You do not need to know the exact internal part that has failed. Identifying the type of tap and the main symptom usually provides a good starting point for choosing the appropriate repair service.

Tap Washer Replacement

Traditional taps commonly use a washer and other serviceable internal components to control the water. A tap that operates normally but continues dripping may suit the basic repair option.

BEST FOR: STRAIGHTFORWARD DRIPPING TAPS
Full Tap Service

Older traditional taps may have several worn components. A full service is better suited where the tap is stiff, noisy, worn or has more than one operating problem.

BEST FOR: OLDER, STIFF OR MULTI-FAULT TAPS
Mixer Cartridge

Single-lever mixers generally use an internal cartridge rather than a traditional washer arrangement. Cartridge faults can cause leaks, stiffness or poor temperature control.

BEST FOR: LEAKING OR STIFF MIXER TAPS
Traditional tap repairs

Dripping Hot & Cold Tap Repairs

Traditional tapware normally has separate hot and cold handles. A common symptom is water continuing to drip from the outlet even though the tap has been turned completely off.

Where the tap itself remains serviceable, replacing worn internal components and correctly reassembling the tap can often restore normal operation without replacing the entire fitting.

If the handles have become stiff, noisy or difficult to turn, or several internal components are showing wear, the full tap service option may be more appropriate than a basic washer replacement.

Mixer tap repairs

Leaking & Stiff Mixer Tap Repairs

Mixer taps use a single control to regulate water flow and temperature. Instead of conventional tap washers, many mixers rely on a replaceable internal cartridge.

A worn cartridge can cause the mixer to drip after being turned off, become stiff to operate or make accurate hot and cold temperature adjustment difficult.

JR Gas & Water's mixer cartridge repair option is designed for standard cartridge types. Specialty, proprietary or unusual cartridges may require separate assessment or quoting.

Repair suitability

Can Every Tap Be Repaired?

No. Tap repair depends on the existing fitting remaining structurally sound, accessible and suitable for servicing. A cracked, badly damaged or heavily deteriorated tap body may need to be replaced rather than repaired.

Parts availability also matters. Standard washers, seals and common mixer cartridges can generally be serviced through the standard repair options, while unusual or proprietary components may require further assessment.

A standard repair normally assumes: ✓ Tapware is accessible ✓ Tap body is structurally serviceable ✓ Repair can use standard service parts ✓ Existing plumbing does not require relocation ✓ No wall or tile removal is required ✓ Repair can be completed within the selected service scope
Professional tap repair

What Does a Standard Tap Repair Include?

The exact work depends on the repair option selected and the condition of the existing tapware, but the standard service covers the applicable repair, reassembly and testing.

01 Inspect Tapware Existing tap or mixer inspected to confirm the fault and whether the fitting is suitable for the selected repair.
02 Repair Components Applicable standard washers, service components, seals or standard mixer cartridge replaced according to the service selected.
03 Reassemble & Adjust Tapware reassembled and adjusted to restore normal operation where the existing fitting remains serviceable.
04 Test Operation Tap operation, water flow and repaired connections checked for correct operation and leaks before completion.
Standard repair parts

What Parts Can Be Supplied During a Tap Repair?

Standard repair services can include common tap washers, standard mixer cartridges, seals and other serviceable internal components where applicable to the selected repair.

Minor fittings and thread-sealing materials required as part of the standard repair can also be used where necessary.

Standard service parts may include: Tap washers Standard mixer cartridges Tap seals Serviceable internal components Thread sealants Minor repair fittings where applicable
Choosing your repair

Which Tap Repair Option Should I Select?

Start with the type of tap you have and the symptoms you can see or feel. If the tap cannot be repaired using the selected service, the next step can be discussed before additional work proceeds.

Choose Washer Replacement If: ✓ You have traditional separate taps ✓ The main problem is dripping ✓ The tap otherwise operates normally ✓ The tap body appears serviceable
Choose Full Tap Service If: ✓ You have older traditional taps ✓ The handle is stiff or noisy ✓ Several components appear worn ✓ There is more than one operating issue
Choose Cartridge Replacement If: ✓ You have a single-lever mixer ✓ The mixer continues dripping ✓ The handle is stiff to operate ✓ Temperature control is poor
Non-standard repairs

When Might a Tap Repair Need Additional Work?

The online repair options are designed for accessible, serviceable tapware that can be repaired using standard parts.

If the existing tapware, plumbing or required components fall outside that scope, JR Gas & Water can explain the available options before additional work proceeds.

Additional work or replacement may apply for: Non-standard or specialty cartridges Cracked or damaged tap bodies Obsolete or unavailable components Pipework alterations or repositioning Wall or tile removal Restricted access Work beyond the selected service scope
Repair or replacement?

Should You Repair or Replace Your Tapware?

A dripping or stiff tap does not automatically need replacing. If the body is sound and suitable repair parts remain available, servicing the existing tap can often be the practical option.

REPAIR MAY MAKE SENSE Keep the Existing Tapware
  • Tap simply drips from the outlet
  • Traditional washer is worn
  • Handle is stiff but fitting is serviceable
  • Standard mixer cartridge has failed
  • Tap body remains structurally sound
  • Replacement parts remain readily available
VIEW TAP REPAIR OPTIONS →
REPLACEMENT MAY MAKE SENSE Install New Tapware
  • Tap body is cracked or damaged
  • Tapware is badly corroded
  • Required repair parts are obsolete
  • Specialty parts make repair impractical
  • Multiple faults continue occurring
  • You want to upgrade the tapware style

Common tap problems

What Tapware Problems Can Usually Be Assessed for Repair?

Dripping traditional taps Leaking mixer taps Stiff tap handles Hard-to-operate mixers Noisy traditional taps Poor mixer temperature control Worn tap washers Worn internal seals Standard cartridge faults Older serviceable tapware Multiple internal tap faults Preventative tap servicing
Kitchen & laundry taps

Kitchen & Laundry Tap Repairs

Kitchen and laundry tapware is used frequently and can develop dripping outlets, stiff mixer handles, worn cartridges and deteriorated internal components over time.

Where the existing tap body remains serviceable and standard parts are available, repairing the fitting can avoid unnecessary replacement.

Bathroom taps

Bathroom Basin, Bath & Shower Tap Repairs

Bathroom tapware can experience the same common washer, seal and cartridge faults as kitchen and laundry taps. The appropriate service depends on the tap design and what has failed.

If the body, handles or other non-serviceable components are damaged, replacing the tapware may provide a better result than continuing to repair an ageing fitting.

Tap repair FAQs

Common Questions About Tap Repairs

How much does it cost to repair a tap?

The cost depends on the repair required and the booking timeframe selected. JR Gas & Water displays current tap repair options and pricing online so you can compare the available services before booking.

Can all leaking taps be repaired?

Not always. Repair generally requires the existing tap body to remain structurally sound and serviceable with suitable replacement parts available. Damaged or obsolete tapware may require replacement.

Do you supply tap washers and repair parts?

Standard tap washers, seals, serviceable internal components and standard mixer cartridges can be supplied where applicable to the selected repair service.

Why does my tap keep dripping after I turn it off?

A traditional tap can continue dripping when its washer or another serviceable internal component has worn. The tap still needs to be inspected to confirm the actual cause.

What causes a mixer tap to drip?

A common repairable cause is wear within the mixer cartridge. Mixer cartridges can also cause stiffness or poor temperature control when they deteriorate.

Can you repair a stiff tap handle?

Often, yes. Traditional taps may suit a full tap service, while stiffness in a single-lever mixer may be associated with the mixer cartridge. The fitting must still be suitable for repair.

What is included in a full tap service?

A full service is intended for older or heavily used traditional tapware requiring more attention than a basic washer replacement. Serviceable washers, seals and internal components can be replaced as required before the tap is adjusted, reassembled and tested.

Do you replace mixer cartridges?

Yes. JR Gas & Water offers mixer cartridge replacement for standard cartridge types. Specialty or non-standard cartridges may require separate assessment or quoting.

What if my tap body is cracked or damaged?

Replacement of a damaged tap body is outside the standard tap repair service. If the existing tapware is structurally damaged, replacement may be the more appropriate option.

Can you alter the plumbing while repairing my tap?

Pipework alterations and repositioning are outside the standard repair services shown online. Additional plumbing work can be assessed separately where required.

Should I repair or replace an old tap?

Repair can make sense when the tap body remains in good condition and standard replacement parts are available. Replacement becomes more attractive where the body is damaged, parts are obsolete, faults keep recurring or you want to upgrade the appearance or functionality of the tapware.

Can I book a priority tap repair?

Yes. Available booking timeframes are displayed with the tap repair options online. Select the timeframe that best suits how quickly you need the repair completed.
