Tap Repairs and Replacement Services
A leaking tap might seem like a minor household annoyance, but ignoring it is literally pouring money down the drain. Did you know a single dripping tap can waste up to 20,000 litres of water a year?
Beyond the shock of a high water bill, leaving a tap to leak causes long-term damage. The constant flow slowly eats away at the brass seating inside the tap body. What could have been a cheap washer replacement quickly turns into needing a completely new tap set installed.
At On Time Plumbing, we provide rapid leaking tap repairs and replacement across Newcastle, Maitland, and the Hunter Valley — to save your sanity, your fixtures, and your money.
We Repair and Replace All Types of Taps
Taps have evolved, and so have we. From traditional bathroom basins to modern pull-out kitchen mixers, our fully stocked vans carry the specific parts required to fix your tap on the spot.
Mixer Tap Repairs
Mixer taps don’t use traditional washers; they rely on complex internal ceramic cartridges. If your mixer is leaking from the spout or the base, or if the handle feels stiff, we can quickly replace the internal cartridge and restore it to perfect working order.
Traditional Jumper Valve Taps
These are your standard hot and cold tap sets. When they leak, it’s usually a worn-out rubber washer or O-ring. We don’t just swap the washer — we professionally re-seat the tap to ensure a watertight seal that lasts.
Quarter-Turn & Half-Turn Taps
Known for their sleek operation, these modern taps use ceramic discs instead of rubber washers. If they start dripping, the ceramic discs have likely cracked or worn down. We carry premium replacement discs to fix the leak instantly.
Outdoor Garden Taps & Hose Bibs
Outdoor taps endure harsh Hunter Valley weather, causing O-rings to perish and handles to seize. If your garden tap is spraying water everywhere or won’t turn off completely, we will rebuild the tap or install a heavy-duty replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your tapware is relatively new, a simple service (replacing washers, O-rings, and reseating) is highly cost-effective. However, if your taps are outdated, heavily corroded, or the internal spindle thread is stripped, installing a brand-new, water-efficient tap set is often the smarter, long-term investment.
Absolutely. While we can install tapware you have purchased yourself, our vans are also fully stocked with a range of high-quality, trusted brands (like Caroma, Dorf, and Raymor). We can supply and install a beautiful new fixture on the very same day.
This is known as “water hammer,” and it’s often caused by loose pipework or a worn-out jumper valve washer fluttering inside the tap body. We can easily diagnose the issue and install water hammer arrestors or new valves to silence your plumbing.
Yes. Leaking and dripping taps are an everyday job for us across Newcastle, Maitland and the Hunter Region. Most repairs are a reseat or a new cartridge and are done in a single visit; where a tap is past saving we can replace it the same day.
