General repairs and maintenance · Sydney's North Shore

Everyday plumbing repairs, done properly

Most of our work isn’t dramatic. It’s the tap that won’t stop dripping, the cistern that keeps running, the toilet that rocks, the mixer that’s worn out. Small jobs, but they’re the ones that cost you water and patience if they’re left.

Sound familiar?

Any of these? Send a photo and we’ll tell you what it is and what it’ll cost.

How a maintenance job runs

Small jobs, same standard

The same four steps whether it’s a washer or a hot water system. Find the cause, fix it properly, leave the place as we found it.

Tell us what's happening.

Call or send a photo. A dripping tap, a running cistern or a wobbly toilet can usually be priced on the spot.

We bring the right parts.

Tell us the brand of the tap or toilet if you know it. Most common parts are on the ute, so it’s one visit, not two.

We fix what actually failed.

A new washer won’t help if the seat is worn, and a new flush valve won’t help if the cistern is cracked. We repair the cause.

Repair or replace?

Fix the part, or replace the fixture?

A lot of maintenance plumbing is a small part on a sound fixture. Some of it is a fixture that’s done its time. We’ll tell you which, and what each costs.

Usually worth repairing

01

A dripping tap: washers, cartridges, seats and spindles.

02

A running toilet: flush valve, inlet valve or float.

03

A rocking toilet: the pan seal and fixings.

04

A mixer that sticks: the cartridge.

Usually worth replacing

01

Taps and mixers where the body is corroded or the parts are no longer made.

02

A cistern that’s cracked, or a toilet past the point of sensible repair.

03

Flexible hoses past their service life, before they burst.

04

Fixtures you’re replacing anyway as part of a renovation.

Either way you get a price first, and phone quotes are free.

What we repair and replace

The everyday list

Taps, mixers and spouts. Toilets, cisterns and flush valves. Kitchen and bathroom fixtures, including work under and behind cabinetry. Washing machine and dishwasher connections. Water pressure and supply problems. Sewer and stormwater drainage, including pipe relining.

If it’s plumbing and it’s in a home or a building on the North Shore, it’s on the list. If you’re not sure, tell us what you can see, hear or smell and we’ll tell you what’s likely going on.

Properly equipped

Drain cameras, high-pressure jetters and leak detection gear on the ute. The right tools mean fewer return visits, even on the small jobs.

What's happening

Dripping, running, rocking, low pressure, or something that needs moving.

The fixture

Tap, mixer, toilet, cistern, washing machine tap. A brand name helps us bring the right part.

How long it's been going

A drip that’s been there a year is a different job to one that started yesterday.

Phone quotes are free. You know the price before any work starts.

Common questions

Repairs and maintenance questions

Straight answers from Peter. Still not sure? Call and ask.

Do you do small jobs?

Yes. Small jobs are most of what we do. A dripping tap or a running toilet gets the same plumber and the same standard as a hot water replacement.

Usually. Tell us the brand of the tap or toilet if you can, and we’ll bring the right parts. If a part has to be ordered, we’ll tell you before we come.

Sometimes a valve or a regulator, sometimes old galvanised pipe closing up from the inside, sometimes a hidden leak. A quick look tells us which.

Yes. Kitchen and bathroom fixtures, including work under and behind cabinetry, and washing machine and dishwasher connections.

Most jobs can be quoted over the phone or from a photo, and phone quotes are free, so you know the price before any work starts.

If it's one of these, it has its own page

Dripping, seized or stiff taps and mixers, fixed in one visit.

Running cisterns, rocking pans and water around the base.

Slow drains and gurgles are a blockage starting. We clear it and show you why.
