Recognise the right enquiry
When to speak to our team
- A dripping tap, leaking mixer or shower fitting.
- Difficulty controlling a fitting or a concern about local water flow.
- A replacement tap, mixer or shower requiring installation.
Understand the work
From the symptoms to a practical plan
A leak at a visible fitting and water escaping behind a wall can need different work. Describe where the water appears, when it happens and whether the issue affects one outlet or several. The fitting brand and model can be important where cartridges, mixers or concealed components are involved.
Repair, replacement and the wider job
Repairing a fitting depends on its condition and suitable components. Replacement may involve compatibility with the existing connections or concealed installation. If tiles or finishes need to be opened, the plumbing and reinstatement scope should be clarified before work is authorised.
For your home
Leaks, controls and water flow in the bathroom
A dripping tap, a mixer with poor control and a shower leak behind a wall need different information. Explain where the symptom appears and whether hot, cold or both supplies are affected. Concealed mixers and selected replacement fittings can have product-specific requirements, so share details before assuming a simple component swap.
-
Describe the fitting
Identify the basin, bath, kitchen or shower fitting and share its make or an accessible photo if useful.
-
Explain the problem
Distinguish dripping, poor flow, control problems and visible water escaping outside the intended outlet.
-
Protect the finish
Ask about parts availability, access behind tiles and who will restore finishes if concealed pipework needs attention.

Before you book
Questions about this service
Can every dripping mixer be repaired with a standard part?
No. Fitting designs and replacement components vary. A photo and product details can help, but the team may need to assess the fitting and component availability before confirming whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
Can I supply a replacement tap or shower fitting?
Tell the team what fitting you have selected and share details or photos. Suitability and installation requirements need to be discussed before the work is arranged.
Where and when can I arrange this service?
Call with the suburb, urgency and scope. We serve Johannesburg and Gauteng; Pretoria, Soweto and outer Gauteng are by arrangement. The office confirms availability and applicable travel arrangements.
