Leaking taps and mixers

A dripping tap wastes more water than most people think, and it usually gets worse. Older taps often need a new washer or seat, while mixers usually need a new cartridge. If the tap is worn out or you're after a change, we'll fit a new one.

Running and leaking cisterns

A cistern that keeps running, refills on its own or leaks at the base is wasting water around the clock. Most of the time it's the inlet valve, the outlet seal or the button mechanism, and it's a quick fix.

If water is leaking where the toilet meets the floor or the wall, call us sooner rather than later. That can get into the floor and the unit below.

Flusherettes in older buildings

Some older buildings still have gravity flusherette toilets that flush straight off a header tank or a large supply pipe. They need someone who knows how they work. We repair them, or talk you through replacing them. More on our heritage plumbing page.

Replacements and new suites

We replace taps, mixers, cisterns and full toilet suites, and connect the ones you've bought yourself if you'd like.

Homes and real estate agents

For property managers, send the work order with the tenant's details and we'll book in with them directly. The invoice comes back with your work order number on it.

There's no call out fee, and you get a fixed price before we start.

Common questions

My toilet keeps running. Can you fix it?

Yes. It's usually the inlet valve, the outlet seal or the button mechanism, and it's normally a quick repair.

Is it worth fixing an old tap or should I replace it?

If the body of the tap is in good shape, a new washer, seat or cartridge is usually enough. If it's corroded or you want a change, we'll fit a new one.

Can you install a toilet I've bought?

Yes. We'll connect it and make sure it's sealed and working properly.

Do you repair flusherette toilets?

Yes. We still work on gravity flusherette systems in older buildings.

Can you work with our tenants?

Yes. Send the work order with the tenant's details and we'll organise access with them directly.

These plumbers are great. They come on time, they know what they're doing and the prices are fair. We have used them for strata work and I have also used them myself. Highly recommended!

We have been using McElroy Plumbing for close to 20 years, their response to our calls has been immediate and the problem fixed promptly in a first class manner and the costs reasonable. We recently had a hot water failure and a new one installed within 24 hrs. We would recommend McElroy for any plumbing job.
