A real person answers, day or night
A small drip is rarely just cosmetic
A spout that never fully shuts off wastes water round the clock and often signals a part on the verge of giving out entirely. Call (02) 9072 0513 and get it sorted before it gets worse.
Old tapware living alongside new fittings
This suburb's mixed housing stock means this crew handles a genuinely wide spread of tap ages and styles.
- Original period tapware survives in plenty of Federation cottages Homes near Doncaster Avenue that have kept their early fittings often just need internals rebuilt rather than the whole tap replaced, preserving a period look while fixing the actual fault.
- Converted flats often carry a mix of eras under one roof Decades of piecemeal subdivision mean one flat's kitchen might still run a 1970s tap while the unit next door has a brand new mixer, and this crew works on whatever turns up.
Tap repair and installation services we provide
Whatever the tap's age or style, it gets properly diagnosed before any parts are replaced:
Dripping and leaking tap repair
Worn washers, cartridges or O-rings causing a drip get identified and replaced with the correct part for that specific tap, stopping the leak at its actual source rather than just tightening it harder.
Stiff or seized tap repair
Mineral buildup or worn internals making a tap difficult to turn get cleaned out or replaced, restoring smooth movement without needing to replace tapware that's otherwise in good condition.
Mixer tap installation
A new mixer, ours or one you've already picked out, gets connected to the existing plumbing behind the wall, with adjustments made where a single mixer body needs to replace two separate hot and cold points.
Period tapware restoration
Original tapware from an older Federation home gets its internals rebuilt using parts suited to that era of fitting, keeping the authentic look intact while making the tap function properly again.

Common tap problems we fix
Constant dripping from the spout
Water still coming from the spout after the tap's fully closed almost always means a worn washer or cartridge inside, and swapping that specific part fixes the drip properly instead of just for a week or two.
Leaking at the tap base
Water pooling around the base of a tap rather than from the spout usually means a worn O-ring or a loose connection at the body, and resealing or tightening that joint properly stops it for good.
Why a small tap fault is worth fixing quickly
A dripping or stiff tap rarely stays a minor annoyance for long:
- A slow drip wastes a surprising amount of water A single dripping tap left unattended can waste a genuinely significant volume of water over the course of a year, for the cost of a part that's often quite small.
- A stiff tap eventually seizes completely Forcing a tap that's becoming difficult to turn accelerates wear on the internals, often ending in a tap that won't turn at all rather than one that's simply stiff.
- Water stains and mineral buildup spread over time A tap leaking slowly at its base can leave lasting staining on a benchtop or basin that gets harder to remove the longer it's left.

Why choose Your Plumber Kensington
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Kensington works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
A photo of the tap and its brand, sent through beforehand if you can manage it, often means the correct part is already on the van before this crew even arrives.
Where we work
Areas we service
Tap repairs and mixer installs extend to Kingsford, Randwick, Eastlakes, Daceyville and Centennial Park too, with old and new tapware alike handled to the same standard.
Good questions, straight answers
Tap repair questions from Kensington locals
Why does a dripping tap matter if it's only a small amount of water?
Left dripping for months, a single tap can send a surprising volume of water straight down the drain, and fixing it usually just means swapping a small, inexpensive internal part.
Are original taps in a Federation home worth repairing or replacing?
Usually repairing, original tapware can generally be rebuilt with fresh internals while its period look stays intact, though this crew gives you a straight answer if a particular part simply can't be sourced anymore.
Can you swap old separate hot and cold taps for a single mixer?
Yes, that's a common upgrade, and it usually means adjusting the plumbing behind the wall slightly to suit a single mixer body rather than two separate tap points.
Why has my tap suddenly become really stiff to turn?
Mineral buildup or a worn washer inside the tap body is the usual cause, and regreasing or swapping out the internals gets it turning smoothly again, no full replacement necessary.
Do you supply tapware or only fit what I've already bought?
Both, this crew can supply quality tapware directly or fit whatever you've already purchased, checking it suits your existing plumbing before committing to an install date.
Is a tap repair or installation covered by warranty?
Every repair and installation is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so a fault appearing afterwards through our own workmanship gets corrected again at no cost.
