Leaking Taps Ashgrove

TRG Plumbing's licensed and insured plumbers repair leaking and dripping taps across Ashgrove, a leafy, hilly inner-north-west suburb just 5 km from the Brisbane CBD. The 1920s and 30s "Ashgrovian" Queenslanders and the post-war cottages that make up much of the suburb were fitted with brass jumper-valve taps, and after decades of washer changes the seats are often too worn for a new washer to seal. Ashgrove's contemporary builds and renovated family homes use ceramic-cartridge mixers, which fail in their own way. On the suburb's sloping blocks with mature gardens, a dripping garden tap is easy to ignore and expensive over time. We repair or replace any of them properly.

Our Ashgrove Leaking Taps Services Include:

Dripping kitchen and bathroom taps:
Replacing washers and O-rings and reseating the tap body so basin, kitchen and laundry taps in your Ashgrove home stop dripping for good.
Leaking mixer taps:
Replacing worn ceramic cartridges and seals in the single-lever mixers fitted through Ashgrove's renovated and contemporary homes.
Leaking shower taps and bath spouts:
Repairing shower taps and bath spouts, including the original wall sets in the bathrooms of Ashgrovian Queenslanders.
Leaks at the spindle or base of the tap:
Renewing spindle O-rings and packing or replacing the spindle when water weeps from the handle or the base of the tap.
Leaking outdoor and garden taps:
Repairing or replacing outdoor and garden taps on Ashgrove's sloping, well-planted blocks, including corroded risers.
Tap replacement and upgrades:
Upgrading tired tapware to new WELS-rated mixers or period-style sets during a bathroom or kitchen renovation.

We contacted TRG the night prior and received immediate contact. Their team was on-site within 36 hours and completed a very tricky job of installing a new Water heater in a tight loft space to replace one that was leaking and causing damage. They perform their duties with great professionalism and quality work, on time and to the exact quote they stated. I would use them again and encourage anyone else to use them also. Ian

Is a dripping basin tap, a leaking shower or a weeping garden tap on your Ashgrove block costing you water and sleep?

Worn Tap Seats in Ashgrove's Older Homes

The brass taps in Ashgrove's Queenslanders and post-war cottages were designed to be serviced, but after ninety years of washer changes the seat inside the body is usually pitted or grooved, so a new washer only holds for a few weeks. We reseat the tap with the proper tool, fit new washers and O-rings and replace the set where the body is beyond saving.

Shower Leaks Behind Timber Walls in Ashgrove

In a timber-framed Ashgrovian home, a shower tap that leaks at the spindle or breech does its damage behind the wall, wetting framing and lifting tiles long before anything shows in the room. If a shower keeps dripping after a washer change, the seat or spindle is the likely cause. We repair it properly and check the wall for signs of moisture while the tap is apart.

Mixer Taps in Ashgrove's Renovated Homes

The kitchens and bathrooms in Ashgrove's contemporary builds and renovated family homes almost all run single-lever mixers on a ceramic cartridge. A stiff lever, a drip from the spout or water at the base means the cartridge or its seals have failed. We carry cartridges for the common brands and usually repair a mixer in one visit, or replace it if the body is damaged.

Leaking Taps Ashgrove FAQ

Answers to the questions Ashgrove homeowners most often ask about dripping, leaking and seized taps, from original brass sets in Queenslanders to modern mixers.

How much water does a dripping tap waste?

A tap dripping once a second can waste thousands of litres a year, and a tap that runs in a thin stream far more. For an Ashgrove household on a large block with several bathrooms and garden taps, a few small drips add up quickly on the water bill.

Can I fix a leaking tap myself, or do I need a plumber in Ashgrove?

Changing a washer is about the limit of what a homeowner can legally do in Queensland; anything beyond that must be done by a licensed plumber. If a new washer has not stopped the drip, or the leak is at the spindle or base, call us rather than keep tightening the handle.

Do you repair mixer taps in Ashgrove?

Yes. We replace ceramic cartridges, seals and spouts on mixers from the major brands, which covers most tapware in Ashgrove's renovated and newer homes. If the mixer body is cracked or corroded we recommend a replacement and can fit it on the same visit.

Why does my shower still drip after I changed the washer?

Almost always because the brass seat inside the tap body is worn and the new washer cannot seal against it, which is very common in the original bathrooms of Ashgrove's Queenslanders and post-war cottages. Reseating the tap or replacing the spindle and seat fixes it properly.

Can a leaking tap damage my Ashgrove home?

Yes. A shower tap leaking inside a timber-framed wall can rot the framing and loosen tiles, and a dripping garden tap on a sloping Ashgrove block keeps soil wet around stumps and retaining walls. Fixing a leak early is far cheaper than repairing the damage it causes.

Should I repair my taps or replace them?

If the tap body is sound and parts are available, a repair is quick and economical. Where the chrome is pitted, the seat cannot be recovered or the tapware is an obsolete style, a new WELS-rated set is the better long-term choice. We tell you which applies before we start.
