Tap Repair Or Tap Replacement: Which Do You Need?
Not every leaking tap needs replacing. In many cases, the right washer, cartridge, valve or seal repair can restore function. Replacement may be better when the tap is badly worn, corroded, damaged or difficult to repair economically.
| Tap Problem | Likely Cause | Possible Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dripping from spout | Washer, cartridge or ceramic disc wear | Tap washer repair or cartridge replacement |
| Leak around handle | O-ring, cartridge or seal issue | Seal or cartridge repair |
| Stiff tap handle | Cartridge, spindle or internal wear | Diagnosis and part replacement |
| Leaking mixer tap | Faulty cartridge or internal seal | Mixer tap repair |
| Leaking shower tap | Washer, spindle, valve or seat issue | Shower tap repair |
| Water main tap leaking | Valve or fitting issue | Licensed plumber assessment |
| Old or damaged fitting | Worn tap body or corrosion | Tap replacement |
No single system suits every property. A licensed plumber can check your plumbing, water use and available space before recommending a practical option.

Common Causes Of Leaking Taps
Most leaking taps are caused by worn, damaged or misaligned internal parts. The right repair depends on the tap type, where the water is escaping and whether the fitting is still in good condition.
Tap Washer Repair
Tap washer repair is one of the most common fixes for older-style taps. A worn washer can stop the tap from sealing properly, causing water to drip from the spout even when the tap is turned off.
A plumber may also check the tap seat, spindle and O-rings to confirm whether the washer alone is enough to stop the leak.
Mixer Tap Repair And Cartridge Replacement
Mixer tap repair often involves checking the internal cartridge. A faulty cartridge can cause dripping, poor water control, stiffness, leaks around the handle or inconsistent flow.
Cartridge replacement should match the tap model and fitting type. If the tap body is worn or damaged, replacement may be more practical than repair.
Leaking Ceramic Tap And Valve Issues
A leaking ceramic tap may involve worn ceramic discs, damaged seals or valve problems. These taps are different from traditional washer taps and should be assessed before parts are replaced.
Tap valve replacement may be needed when the valve no longer controls water flow properly or continues leaking after basic repairs.
