Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my tap constantly dripping even after I turn it off tightly?
A dripping tap is usually caused by a worn washer, damaged O ring or faulty ceramic cartridge inside the tap body. Over time these components degrade due to regular use and water pressure.
Tightening the handle harder will not solve the problem and may cause additional damage. Replacing the internal parts or upgrading the tap mechanism is typically required to stop the leak permanently and prevent unnecessary water waste.
What causes a toilet to keep running after flushing?
A running toilet is often due to a faulty flush valve, worn flapper seal or incorrect water level in the cistern. When these components fail, water continues to flow into the bowl long after flushing.
Mineral build up and aging parts are common contributors. Left untreated, a running toilet can waste significant amounts of water and increase household bills. Replacing the internal cistern components usually resolves the issue.
Can low water pressure affect taps and toilets?
Yes. Low water pressure can result in weak tap flow and incomplete toilet refills, while high pressure can damage internal components and cause leaks. Pressure irregularities may stem from plumbing system issues, valve problems or supply concerns. Proper assessment ensures fixtures operate within safe pressure limits and perform as intended.
Repairs, Replacements & Upgrades
Taps and toilets are among the most frequently used fixtures in any property, which means wear and tear is unavoidable over time. Washers can harden, seals deteriorate and internal components eventually fail. This often leads to dripping taps, noisy pipework or toilets that constantly run. While these issues may seem minor at first, they can waste thousands of litres of water each year and increase utility costs. Left unresolved, leaks can also cause damage to cabinetry, flooring or internal walls.
Common tap and toilet services include:
- Repairing leaking or dripping taps
- Replacing worn washers seals and internal components
- Fixing running or constantly filling toilets
- Installing new tapware or upgraded fixtures
- Replacing older toilets with modern dual flush systems
Professional servicing ensures replacement parts are suited to your plumbing system and water pressure. In some cases a simple repair restores proper function, while older fixtures may benefit from a full upgrade. Correct installation prevents leaks, loose fittings and recurring faults, helping your plumbing fixtures operate smoothly and efficiently for years.
