Leaking taps and toilet repairs
A dripping tap or running toilet wastes water, increases your bills, and can cause water damage if left unattended. Suburban Gas and Plumbing repairs and replaces taps, toilets, and plumbing fixtures across Melbourne. Most repairs are completed in a single visit.
We fix dripping taps by replacing worn washers, O-rings, or cartridges. For toilets, we repair faulty flappers, fill valves, cistern leaks, and flush mechanisms. If a fixture is beyond repair, we can supply and install a replacement. We always turn off the water supply before starting work to prevent any damage to your property.

Frequently asked questions
-
The most common cause is a worn washer or O-ring inside the tap. Over time these rubber components degrade and no longer form a watertight seal. Ceramic disc taps can also develop faults. We can diagnose and repair most dripping taps in a single visit.
-
Yes, significantly. A constantly running toilet can waste thousands of litres of water per year. Even a slow leak from the cistern into the bowl adds up quickly. If your toilet runs after flushing or you hear water trickling, have it repaired promptly.
-
Most tap repairs are completed within 30 to 60 minutes. Our plumbers carry common replacement washers, cartridges, and parts. If a tap is too old or damaged to repair, we can replace it during the same visit.
-
Both. We repair taps where possible and replace them when repair is not economical. We can supply new taps or install ones you have purchased. We work with all standard tap and mixer types.
