Tap Work On Our List
Most weeks the job list spans both ends of town: jumper-valve tap rebuilds in weatherboard houses by the old station grid, plus ceramic cartridge swaps in brick-veneer homes across the newer estates.
Old Spindles and New Mixers
Tap work here changes street by street, and the housing stock explains why.
A town of three eras
Housing runs from the 1960s-1980s grid around the station, through 1980s-2000s brick-veneer and render rings, to the 2000s-present estates filling the fringe. No two tap calls are quite alike.
Weatherboard on the old grid
The oldest homes are weatherboard, and their fittings track their age: ground-in spindles, brass worn thin, and tap seats that have had decades of force on them.
Mostly separate houses
At the last census, 77.3 per cent of homes were separate houses, so garden taps, hose unions and outdoor bibs land on our list as often as kitchen mixers.
Tap Services We Cover
Whatever the tap is doing, the job falls into one of four buckets, and we carry the parts for all of them:
Dripping Tap Repairs
We strip the tap down, replace the washer and jumper valve, dress or reseat a scored seat, and rebuild the spindle so the tap closes clean, quiet and dry again.
Mixer Tap Repairs
A stiff lever or a drip from the spout usually means a worn cartridge: we match the replacement, swap the seals and body O-rings, and check the mixer under pressure.
Tap Replacements
When a tap is past saving we remove the old set, fit a replacement suited to your pressure, and tidy the wall or bench so the new one sits flush.
Outdoor and Garden Taps
Garden taps cop the weather: we replace seized bib taps, fit new hose unions and isolation valves, and check the wall mounting before the next hose goes on again.

Faults Behind the Drip
Four faults cover almost every tap call we get, and each one has a known fix.
Worn Washers
The classic drip: a washer hardened or grooved by years of closing against its seat. It is the simplest fault to sort, and a full service of the tap does it.
Scored Tap Seats
Grit in the water and years of force cut rings into the seat, so a new washer cannot seal flat. Reseating or dressing the seat is the fix, not another washer.
Dripping at the Handle
Water tracking up the spindle means worn packing or O-rings rather than a bad washer; we repack the gland or replace the spindle seals and the handle stays dry.
A Drip That Returns
A tap that drips again within weeks points past the washer: a cracked spindle, a damaged seat or high house pressure. We find which before fitting anything.
Why a Dripping Tap Matters
A tap that drips once a second loses water all day and all night, and the costs stack up in three places:
Water you pay for
Every drop through a metered tap is water on your bill. A drip you have stopped noticing is still running, hour after hour, until someone strips the tap and stops it.
Wet timber and cabinetry
A slow leak at the laundry or bath tracks into vanities, walls and floor sheeting. In weatherboard homes that moisture sits in timber, and the repair bill grows while the drip waits.
A warning sign, not a fluke
Repeated drips across several taps usually point to pressure or ageing pipework, not bad luck. That is worth knowing before the next fault appears somewhere harder to reach.
If the water is showing up somewhere it should not be, the leak detection page covers how we narrow it down.

Tap Repair FAQs
Call (07) 3523 6428Does a dripping tap need a licensed plumber?
Yes; Queensland law puts tap work inside the licensed plumbing trade, so even a washer swap is not a do-it-yourself job, and it all happens under QBCC No: 15024607.
Can I turn off the tap at my Unitywater meter while I wait?
Yes; that tap exists for exactly this job, and closing it stops the loss until we arrive, though the house goes without supply meanwhile, so fill a kettle or jug first.
Why does my Caboolture tap still drip after a new washer?
Usually the seat: scored or pitted after decades of closing, it no longer gives a washer a flat surface to seal against, so we dress or reseat it and sort the spindle.
Does Unitywater fix the pipes or do I?
Unitywater owns the main out in the street and everything up to your connection point; from there the pipes are yours, so a dripping tap inside your boundary is your job to fix and ours to quote.
Do older weatherboard homes here need different tap parts?
Often, yes; ground-in spindles and jumper valves from the 1960s-1980s weatherboard stock differ from the ceramic cartridges in the newer brick-veneer estates, so we carry parts for both.
