When it comes to your home or business, taps are one of the most used yet most overlooked plumbing fixtures. A dripping tap, low water pressure, or outdated fittings can quietly waste water, increase your bills, and reduce daily comfort. That’s where high-quality tap installation and repair make all the difference.
Properly installed and repaired taps function more efficiently, preventing future leaks and saving you money on costly water bills and emergency repairs. That’s why choosing the right plumber for your tap installation is just as important as choosing the tap itself. Poor installation can lead to leaks, water damage, and costly repairs down the track.
Our Melbourne-based plumber delivers:
We combine experience with attention to detail, guaranteeing that every tap we install or repair performs flawlessly.
A malfunctioning tap is typically caused by a blocked aerator, an airlock in the pipes, a worn-out washer, or a closed mains valve. You can start by checking if other taps in the house are working, cleaning the small mesh filter (aerator) at the spout, or checking for frozen pipes during colder months.
While these steps may help, we understand how frustrating it is to deal with a faulty tap, especially when it adds stress to your busy routine before or after work. If you prefer a quick, professional, and permanent solution, you can trust My Plumbing Services to handle the problem for you. We even offer same-day service for all calls placed before midday!
Any of these? Book a same-day assessment. We're available 24/7. Call 03 9071 4424.
The most common tap repair job in Melbourne, and one that's almost always fixable without full replacement. We diagnose the cause (worn washer, damaged O-ring, failed cartridge, deteriorated seat) and replace the correct component. In the majority of cases, your existing tap is restored to perfect working order.
Water pooling around the base of a tap indicates a failed O-ring or packing seal. Left unaddressed, this water finds its way into the cabinet below, leading to water damage, swollen timber, and eventually mould. We replace the seal and inspect for any resulting cabinet damage.
Modern mixer taps use ceramic disc cartridges rather than traditional rubber washers. When these fail, stiffness, dripping, and temperature control loss. We replace the cartridge with a compatible unit for your tap brand and model.
That loud banging noise when you turn off a tap quickly is water hammer, a pressure surge caused by water stopping suddenly in the pipe. It's hard on pipe joints and fittings and can cause long-term damage if unaddressed. We install water hammer arrestors or adjust pressure settings to eliminate the issue permanently.
Shower mixer valves that produce inconsistent temperatures, require constant re-adjustment, or won't hold a set temperature are frustrating and often wasteful. We repair or replace mixer valve cartridges and thermostatic shower valves across all major brands.
From simple pillar taps to designer pull-out spray mixers, we install all kitchen tap types to Australian Standards. If you're renovating your kitchen or upgrading an existing fixture, we handle the entire process disconnecting the old tap, installing the new one with correct supply connections, and testing for leaks and water pressure.
Basin taps, wall-mounted mixers, and vessel sink tapware are installed correctly and compliantly. We work with all configurations, single hole, three-hole spread, and wall outlet and can advise on compatibility with your existing basin setup.
New shower mixer installation requires careful attention to hot and cold supply pressures, correct valve sizing, and tempering valve requirements under Victorian plumbing regulations. We install and commission all shower mixer types. wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and rail shower systems.
Laundry taps take a hard life, heavy use, hose connections, outdoor proximity. We install durable laundry tap sets designed for the demands of the laundry environment, including correct hose connector sizing.
A properly installed outdoor tap requires a compliant backflow prevention device under Victorian plumbing regulations. We install outdoor taps with appropriate backflow protection to AS/NZS 3500 requirements — protecting your drinking water supply from potential contamination.
Sensor taps are increasingly popular in both commercial and residential bathrooms. We install and commission touchless tap systems, including mains supply work and battery or mains power connections.
