Burnside Plumbing & Drains handles every kind of tap and outlet repair across Burnside, from a single dripping kitchen tap to a full outdoor tap replacement or a mixer that's suddenly stopped shutting off properly. We carry the washers, cartridges, o-rings and spindles needed for most makes and models, so we can often complete your leaking tap repair in a single visit. Whether it's a stiff bathroom mixer, a weeping laundry tap or a hose tap that's seized up in the garden, our licensed plumbers arrive ready to diagnose and fix the fault on the spot.
If a tap in your Burnside or wider Sunshine Coast home has started dripping, won't turn off, or is leaking into a cabinet below the sink, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Small leaks waste water, push up your bills and can quietly damage joinery and flooring over time. Pick up the phone and speak with our team, we'll talk you through what's likely happening and arrange a plumber before it becomes a bigger job.
A tap that drips constantly is rarely just a minor annoyance. Worn washers, damaged cartridges or a failing ceramic disc can let water seep past the seal continuously, sending your water bill climbing while the drip wears at the fittings underneath the sink or basin. Left unaddressed, a leaking mixer tap or supply line can eventually cause staining, mould or even damage to cabinetry and flooring.
Outdoor taps and hose cocks bring their own issues on the Sunshine Coast, particularly seized hose taps, washers affected by seasonal temperature changes, and ageing isolation valves that weep at the joint. A tap that's suddenly become hard to turn, or one that won't shut off completely, often points to a worn spindle, debris caught in the seat, or a pressure issue further up the line. Whatever the cause, catching it early with a proper inspection can save you from a far more expensive repair down the track.

Tap and outlet problems can be confusing, especially when you're not sure whether it's a simple washer or something more involved. Below, our licensed plumbers answer some of the questions we're asked most often by Burnside homeowners and business owners.
A tap that continues to drip after being switched off firmly usually means the internal seal, whether that's a washer, o-ring or ceramic disc cartridge, has worn out and can no longer create a watertight seal. Forcing the handle tighter often makes the problem worse over time by damaging the spindle or the tap body itself. Rather than continuing to force it shut, it's worth having a plumber inspect the internal parts and replace whatever's worn so the tap seals properly again.
It's easy to dismiss a slow drip as a minor issue, but even a small, constant leak adds up significantly on your water usage and can quietly cause damage where you can't see it. Leaks that sit behind a wall mixer or under a vanity cabinet are particularly worth addressing early, since ongoing moisture can lead to swollen cabinetry, mould or damaged flooring. Getting it looked at while it's still a small fix is almost always better than waiting until it becomes a bigger repair.
A stiff mixer tap is often the result of a worn or damaged internal cartridge, mineral build-up, or debris that's made its way into the valve seat. In some cases, it can also point to a wider water pressure issue affecting that fixture specifically. A plumber can pinpoint the exact cause by inspecting the internal components and either clean, repair or replace the cartridge as needed to restore smooth operation.
Outdoor taps take a lot of wear from regular use, weather and, on the Sunshine Coast, humidity and temperature swings throughout the year. A dripping garden tap or hose cock is often just a worn washer, but it can also indicate a failing isolation valve or a cracked tap body that needs replacing before it worsens. Left unchecked, a leaking outdoor tap can waste a surprising amount of water and, in some cases, contribute to damp patches near the house.
Most leaking taps can be repaired rather than replaced, particularly if the tap body itself is in good condition and the issue is limited to worn internal parts like washers, o-rings or cartridges. Replacement usually becomes the better option when the tap is very old, parts are no longer available, or the tap body has corroded or cracked. A plumber can assess your specific tap and recommend whichever option offers the more lasting result.
If a tap won't shut off completely, the first step is to locate the isolating stop tap for that fixture, usually found under the sink or basin, and turn it off to stop the flow of water. This prevents ongoing waste and any risk of overflow while you arrange for a plumber to repair the fault. If you can't locate or access the isolating valve, shutting off the main water supply to the property is the next best option until help arrives.
A leaking tap or faulty outlet doesn't need to be a big drama. Burnside Plumbing & Drains makes booking a repair simple. Just reach out and we'll take it from there.
