Taps, Toilets, Pipes And Leaks Fixed Properly
General plumbing is the bulk of what we do around Taylors Lakes. Dripping taps, toilets that run or will not flush, split and burst pipes, and water that is clearly going somewhere it should not.
We repair and replace tapware, toilets and pipework, and connect appliances like dishwashers and washing machines. Where a leak is hidden behind a wall or under a slab, we use leak detection to find it before anything gets opened up.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the job. Replacing a tap washer, swapping a whole mixer and chasing a leak under a slab are three very different pieces of work. Tell us what is happening and we will price that job for you before we start.
For general repairs we can usually book you in within a day or two. Burst pipes and anything actively causing damage get treated as emergencies, and we are contactable 24 hours for those.
In most cases, yes. We use leak detection to narrow down where the water is actually escaping, then open up only that spot. It is a lot cheaper than working along a wall until the leak turns up.
If the tap body is sound, a reseat and new washers will usually fix it and costs less. Once the spindle or the body itself is worn, replacing the tapware is the better spend. We will tell you which one you are looking at before doing the work.
Yes. We connect dishwashers, washing machines and fridges with ice makers, and fit isolation taps where there are none so the appliance can be shut off on its own later.
Yes. We work right across Melbourne's north and west, taking in Keilor, Sydenham, Delahey, Hillside, St Albans and Deer Park, through to Essendon, Niddrie and Moonee Ponds. Give us a call if your suburb is not listed.
A Closer Look At Our General Plumbing Work
Leaking Taps
A dripping tap is the job people put off longest and the one that quietly adds the most to a water bill. Most leaks come down to worn washers, a damaged seat, or a cartridge that has had enough.
We repair and replace all common tapware, including wall mixers, kitchen mixers, laundry taps and outdoor garden taps.

A toilet that runs after flushing is usually an inlet valve or an outlet seal that has stopped sealing. Left alone it wastes water constantly, and you often only notice once the bill arrives.
We repair cisterns, inlet and outlet valves, buttons and seals, reseat pans that have started to leak at the base, and replace whole suites when the old one is past repairing.

A lot of the housing stock through Keilor, St Albans and Sunshine has copper run through wall cavities and under concrete. As those runs age they corrode and split, and the first sign is often a damp patch or a water bill that has jumped.
We repair and replace failed sections of copper and PVC, and handle burst mains as emergency work.

Water rarely surfaces where it escapes. It follows the pipe, runs along a bearer or sits under a slab until it finds a way out, which is why guessing at a leak usually means opening up more of the house than needed.
We use acoustic and moisture tracing to pinpoint the leak first, then open up only where the repair has to happen.

New appliances need the right connection point, the right isolation and, for anything connected to drinking water, backflow protection. Getting it wrong is how you end up with a slow leak behind a cabinet that nobody sees for months.
We connect dishwashers, washing machines and fridges, and add isolation taps where the existing plumbing has none.
