Common Tap Problems We Fix
Understanding the cause is the first step to a lasting repair. Here are the most frequent issues we resolve:
- Constant Dripping: This is often caused by worn-out ceramic discs, perished rubber washers, or damaged O-rings inside the tap cartridge. Each type requires a specific replacement part.
- Leaking from the Base: If water pools around the bottom of your tap, it indicates worn O-rings or seals that allow water to escape from the body instead of the spout.
- Low Water Pressure: A sudden drop in pressure from one tap usually points to a blocked aerator (the screen on the spout) or a faulty, clogged cartridge.
- Stiff or Loose Handles: This wear and tear is a sign of internal mechanisms that need adjustment or replacement, preventing easy operation.
- Unable to Adjust Temperature: This is a classic sign of a faulty cartridge in a mixer tap or a failing pressure-balancing valve in your shower, which can be a safety hazard.

Don’t Let a Dripping Tap Drain Your Wallet
Ignoring a small leak can lead to big problems. Beyond the wasted water and higher bills, persistent moisture can cause unsightly staining, damage to cabinetry, and even create the perfect environment for mould growth. What begins as a simple, fixable drip can escalate into a major leak if internal parts fail completely. A timely, professional repair from Hero Plumbing is a small investment that saves you money and prevents costly damage down the line.
