When to replace a tap

Taps do not last forever, and there are good reasons to replace rather than keep repairing one. It is time to consider replacing a tap when it is old and corroded, constantly dripping or needing repairs, stiff or hard to turn, visibly worn or dated, or when you simply want to update the look of your kitchen or bathroom or switch to a modern mixer. A tap that keeps needing new washers, or one that is corroded and leaking at the base, is usually better replaced. Replacement is also the chance to improve function and style. We replace all types of taps across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with an upfront fixed price.

Types of taps we replace

We replace and install every type of tap around the home:

Kitchen taps and mixers, including pull-out and goose-neck styles
Bathroom basin taps and mixers
Bath and shower taps and mixers
Laundry taps
Outdoor and garden taps and hose bibs
Filter and boiling water taps

Whether you have a traditional dual-tap setup, a single-lever mixer, a wall-mounted tap or an outdoor tap, we can replace it, and help you choose a quality new tap that suits the fixture and the way you use it.

Upgrading to mixer taps

One of the most popular tap upgrades is replacing traditional separate hot and cold taps with a modern single-lever mixer, which controls temperature and flow with one handle, is convenient, and gives a clean, contemporary look. Switching to a mixer may involve some plumbing changes, since a mixer connects differently from separate taps, but it is a straightforward job for a plumber. Mixers are now standard in most new kitchens and bathrooms for good reason, they are easy to use and easy to clean around. If you want to modernise your kitchen or bathroom, upgrading to mixer taps is an easy, effective improvement, and we will explain and quote any changes needed.

We supply or install your taps

We are flexible about the taps themselves. If you have already chosen and bought taps you love, we will install them for you. If you would rather we supply them, we can recommend quality, reliable taps to suit your kitchen or bathroom and your budget, and quote supply and install together as one simple job. Buying quality taps matters, cheap taps often wear and leak sooner, so investing in good tapware pays off in longevity. Whichever way you prefer, we fit your new taps correctly, leak-free, and with a tidy finish, so you get tapware that looks good and lasts.

Repair or replace?

Not every tap problem needs replacement. If the tap body is sound and only an internal part is worn, a washer, O-ring or cartridge, a repair is usually the best value and restores it to good working order. Replacement makes more sense when the tap is old, corroded, constantly needing repairs, or you want to update the look or switch to a mixer. We will give you an honest assessment: if a simple repair will fix it well, we will do that rather than push a new tap; if the tap is past its best or you want an upgrade, we will recommend and quote replacement, so you spend your money wisely.

Replacing outdoor and garden taps

Outdoor taps, garden taps and hose bibs take a beating from the weather and heavy use, so they commonly wear out, drip, seize up, or leak at the wall connection. A worn or leaking outdoor tap wastes water and, if it leaks at the wall, can let water into the building over time. Replacing an outdoor tap is usually straightforward, and we can fit a quality new tap, and add a quarter-turn or lever tap for easier use if you prefer. If your garden tap drips, is hard to turn, or leaks where it meets the wall, we can replace it and resolve the leak at the same time.

Fixing leaks when we replace

If your old taps are leaking, replacing them stops the leak and the wasted water for good, which is one of the main reasons people replace rather than keep repairing a troublesome tap. A dripping tap can waste thousands of litres a year, so replacing worn, leaky taps saves water and money as well as improving the look. When we fit your new taps, we ensure they are installed leak-free with correct, properly sealed connections, and we check the isolation valves and connections behind them are sound too. The result is reliable, drip-free tapware, rather than the ongoing annoyance and waste of old taps that keep leaking.

Modern tap features

Replacing your taps is a chance to enjoy modern features that make life easier. Pull-out and pull-down kitchen mixers add a handy spray hose for rinsing and filling, goose-neck mixers give more clearance for large pots, and mixers with ceramic cartridges operate smoothly and last well. You can also add filtered water taps for drinking water, or combined taps that deliver filtered or even boiling water. Finishes range from classic chrome to matte black and brushed nickel to suit your style. We can advise on the features and finishes that suit your kitchen or bathroom, so your new taps are a genuine upgrade in both function and appearance.

High water pressure and tap wear

If your taps wear out or start leaking soon after replacement, excessively high water pressure may be the underlying cause, as too much pressure stresses washers, cartridges and seals and wears them out faster, and can cause water hammer. When we replace your taps, we can also check your water pressure, and if it is too high, fit a pressure-limiting valve to bring it to a safe level. This protects your new tapware and your whole plumbing system, and makes everything last longer. Addressing high pressure at the same time as replacing taps means your new taps will not suffer the same premature wear that may have affected the old ones.

How much does tap replacement cost?

The cost of replacing taps depends on the type and quality of the taps, whether you supply them or we do, and the complexity of the installation, switching to mixers or changing the configuration takes a little more work than a like-for-like swap. Replacing several taps in one visit is more economical than separate call-outs. We give you an upfront fixed price before we start, including supply if we are providing the taps, so you know the cost. Investing in quality taps and professional installation means they are fitted correctly and last, rather than needing attention again soon.

Replacing taps in a renovation

Replacing taps is a common part of a kitchen or bathroom refresh or renovation, and doing it alongside other work is efficient. New taps instantly modernise the look of a space, and if you are updating a sink, basin or vanity, new matching tapware completes the result. We can coordinate tap replacement with other plumbing work, such as a new sink, basin or mixer, so it is all done together. Whether you are doing a full renovation or just freshening up a tired kitchen or bathroom with new tapware, we can supply and fit taps that suit the new look and function well for years.

How long does it take?

Replacing a single tap is usually a quick job, often done within an hour or so, depending on access and whether the old tap is corroded and difficult to remove. Replacing several taps, or switching from separate taps to mixers, takes a little longer because of the additional connections and any plumbing changes. We will give you a clear timeframe when we quote, and work efficiently and tidily to minimise any disruption. Because tap replacement is a self-contained job, it is usually a straightforward, same-visit task, so you are left with your new, working tapware without a long wait or mess.

It depends on the tap and the installation. Replacing several at once is more economical. We give you an upfront fixed price before we start.

Can you replace old taps with mixer taps?

Yes. We can replace traditional dual taps with modern single-lever mixer taps, which may involve some plumbing changes that we will explain and quote.
