Your licensed leaking tap & toilet plumbers

A leaking tap or toilet wastes water, damages your property, and shows up on your next bill. The most common reasons for leaking taps are worn-out rubber seals, corroded valve seating or incorrect installation. For leaking toilets, it could be the flush valve or the cistern continuously running. If you've turned off your main water source and leaks are still happening, there might be a more serious issue that needs a professional plumber.

Your Local Tradesman has been fixing leaking taps and toilets across Adelaide for over 15 years. We diagnose the cause, explain what's needed, and fix it on the same visit in most cases.

What causes your taps & toilets to start leaking?

Leaking taps are usually caused by a small worn component inside the tap body rather than the tap itself failing.

Common causes of leaking taps include:

  • Worn or damaged rubber washers or O-rings
  • Corroded valve seating
  • Loose packing nut
  • Incorrect installation

Toilet leaks are often harder to spot since most of them happen inside the cistern and waste water quietly for months.

Common causes of leaking toilets include:

  • Faulty flush valve or flapper
  • Damaged cistern inlet valve
  • Cracked cistern or bowl
  • Loose or worn cistern bolts

Some of our frequently asked questions

Our plumbers have seen every type of tap and toilet leak Adelaide has to offer, and these are the questions they get asked most.


How can I tell if my toilet is leaking?

Ways you can tell your toilet is leaking includes water continuously running into the bowl, a hissing sound coming from the cistern or puddles around the base. You can also add a few drops of food colouring to the tank. If it appears in the bowl without flushing, you've got a leak.

Can I fix a leaking tap or toilet myself?

Some minor leaks can be fixed with basic tools, like replacing a washer or tightening a loose connection. However, if the problem persists or you’re unsure, it’s best to call a professional plumber to avoid causing further damage.

How much does it cost to fix a leaking tap or toilet?

The cost of fixing a leak varies depending on the complexity of the issue. Simple repairs like replacing washers are usually inexpensive, while more complicated problems may cost more. It’s best to get a quote from a professional plumber.

Do you provide emergency plumbing services?

Our team is available around the clock to provide 24-hour emergency plumbing services. Whether it's a burst pipe, a clogged drain, or any other plumbing issue that needs immediate attention, you can count on us to pick up the phone.

How can I prevent future leaks in my taps and toilets?

Replace worn washers and seals before they fail, avoid overtightening taps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals in your toilet as they wear out internal parts faster than you'd think.

I had a serious tap breakage that caused my apartment to flood with water. I even called SA Water, but they were delayed. Then we had this amazing guy, Phil, who came out, quickly found the cause, turned off the water supply—which was on the roof—and repaired the tap. I just want to give Phil a huge compliment. He was absolutely amazing and a real lifesaver! He went above and beyond to help us during a very stressful situation. Truly appreciate his help and professionalism. Thank you, Phil!

We had power outage on the wet, cold & stormy Wednesday this week. After several attempts to get a reliable emergency electrician out asap I found the Local Tradesman site. They arrived early evening & quickly identified the problem. After further quote they proceeded to replace the full circuit board with safety switches. Impressive effort considering outside work in trying conditions. Great job! Thanks Jordan & Alfredo. Very pleased with the result.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Trevor, for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to serving you again!
