1970s mixers and later cartridges
Original kitchens and bathrooms around Endeavour Hills often have mixers or spindle taps whose parts are getting scarce. A drip is sometimes a washer or a cartridge; sometimes the body is worn and a new tap is the cleaner fix. We take the tap far enough apart to see, then quote a fixed price for the service or the replacement before we go further.
Garden taps on a sloping frontage can freeze, loosen in the wall or drip into a garden bed and look like a leaking service. We check both.
What you can do, and when to call
A drip that has just started can sometimes wait a day or two if you can live with it. A tap that will not shut, a leak inside a vanity, or water staining a cupboard should be isolated if you can and booked promptly. Call 03 8658 7175 and we will talk you through the isolation if you need it.
Cartridges, spindles and garden taps
We carry common mixer cartridges and spindle parts, but some 1970s bodies are better replaced than rebuilt. Garden taps on a sloping frontage often leak at the jumper valve or at a cracked body in the wall. Isolating the house or the relevant branch before we start keeps the mess down. The quote you agree to is for that tap, on that day, including the part we fit.
Endeavour Hills pipes at a glance
Endeavour Hills was built through the 1970s and 1980s on rising ground between Dandenong and the Lysterfield hills, postcode 3802, in the City of Casey. A lot of the original brick veneer is still on the block it was built on, often with a steep drive, a sleeper or concrete retaining wall and a stormwater pit at the low corner. Water services may be copper, with patches of later poly, and many sewers are still earthenware with tree roots from street and backyard plantings. Hot water is often a gas storage unit squeezed onto a narrow side path, which is why a replacement sometimes has to come down the front steps.
We use cameras, locators, pressure tests and acoustic leak detection so we can see the pipework before anyone cuts a wall or opens a trench on a slope.

Leaking Tap Repairs: common questions
How much should I pay for a leaking tap?
It depends on whether the job is a washer, a cartridge, a failed body or a replacement because parts are no longer available. We look at the tap and quote a fixed price before we start.
How much will a plumber charge to fix a leaking tap?
You get a fixed price once we have seen the tap and confirmed whether it is a simple service or a replacement. Tight access in an older kitchen or laundry can change the work, and we will tell you that first.
Who is responsible for a leaking tap?
Inside the house, the owner is usually responsible. In a rental, the tenant reports the leak and the owner or agent arranges the repair. We can explain what we find; tenancy rules sit with you and your agent.
