Replace your tap washer

The easiest way to stop a dripping tap! If your taps are still in reasonable condition, but they are dripping then replacing the tap washer could extend their life and save you money. As we say, a leaking tap can waste about 10,950 litres of water every year.

That’s just ONE tap! So if you have a tap that you’d like to keep, then replacing the washers may be your best option.

Here’s how we can save your taps by replacing the essential moving parts:

  Shut down water supply to house or home unit

  Remove tap dress fittings and handles

  Re-seat and replace washers in two taps of the same appliance

  Replace o-rings and lubricate the moving tap parts

  Reassemble tap

  Reinstate water supply at shut off valve

  Test at tap.
