Tap Repairs
Washers, o-rings, jumper valves and mixers, from a garden tap on Kedron Brook Road to a bench mixer that has seized solid, with the common sizes carried on the van. Tap repairs.

Our plumbers work these slopes most weeks, and you see the full price before we begin.
Water moving where it has no business being is emergency work, and the emergency plumbing page takes those calls; this page carries the planned jobs.
Where Your Job Belongs
Six services sit here, and most calls fall neatly into one of them:
- A tap that will not stop dripping, a stiff mixer or a garden tap running all night: tap repairs.
- A cistern that refills on its own, a pan that rocks or a suite you want swapped: toilet repairs.
- A shower that has lost pressure, a bath that drains slowly, or a vanity you want moved: bathroom plumbing.
- A sink that gurgles, a dishwasher that needs connecting, or a new mixer on the bench: kitchen plumbing.
- A water bill climbing with no visible cause, or a damp patch that never dries: leak detection.
- A new bayonet for the barbecue, a heater point, or a gas appliance that needs moving: gas fitting.
For water you cannot shut off, burst pipes is the emergency page.
Old Pipes Under the Hillside
The housing here sets the plumbing agenda, and the housing is old in a very specific way.
The estate set the pattern
Much of the suburb was cut from the Wilston Hill estate in 1925, and the interwar Queenslanders and post-war homes that followed still run on the materials of that era.
Galvanised supply lines
Original steel water pipe scales on the inside as it ages, so flow falls away tap by tap and water left sitting overnight can arrive with colour in it.
Earthenware drains
The old yard drains run in short clay lengths joined with cement, and a century of soil shifting above them has dragged those joints out of true.
Under-house laundries
Plenty of the highset homes keep the laundry and the tank under the floor, where damp air works on fittings and connections year after year.
Six Services Across Wilston Homes
Each service gets its own page below, and here is where each one turns up in a week of calls:
Toilet Repairs
Cistern inlet and outlet valves, running pans, close-coupled suites and back-to-wall units, plus full replacements when the porcelain is cracked. A cistern that refills all night is usually a one-visit fix. Toilet repairs.
Bathroom Plumbing
Showers, baths, vanities and floor wastes, from a pressure-drop diagnosis to a full renovation rough-in. Renovation work gets sequenced so the plumbing and the tiling land in the right order. Bathroom plumbing.
Kitchen Plumbing
Sinks, mixers, dishwasher points, fridge water lines and the waste pipe behind the cupboard. A slow drain and a weeping trap are the two calls we get most here. Kitchen plumbing.
Leak Detection
Rising bills, damp patches and suspiciously green lawn in a dry week all point the same way, and we mark the spot before any concrete comes up. Leak detection.
Gas Fitting
Bayonets, heater and cooker points, barbecue lines and compliance work, all under the gasfitting classes of our licence. A gas smell routes to the gas leaks page instead. Gas fitting.

Maintain, Repair or Replace
Most plumbing decisions come down to which of those three verbs applies, and the answer changes with the part.
Taps
A drip is usually a washer or a cartridge, a quick fix on the day. When the tap body is worn or the mixer is past spare parts, a replacement costs less than repairs every summer.
Toilets
Cistern parts wear out on a schedule, and a rebuild kit buys years more service. A cracked pan or a suite that no longer suits the room is a replacement job, planned rather than rushed.
Pipes
Patching a single leak in original galvanised pipe is honest work, but once one section fails, the rest is on the clock. We tell you plainly where your line sits between patch and re-run.
What the Low Ground Adds
The suburb splits in two for plumbing purposes, and the split matters to how a job is quoted.
A high water table
Low blocks near Enoggera Creek stay soggy for days once the rain has passed, and saturated ground keeps steady pressure on pipe joints and on anything piped at ground level.
Flood-mapped streets
Granville, Noble and Mark Streets all carry Council's February 2022 flood mapping, so fittings and pipework down there get inspected with that history in mind.
Storm season
Rain falls hardest from November through to March, and the drier winter months are when catch-up work gets done before the next season loads the drains again.

Six Plumbing Questions From Wilston
Call (07) 3524 7117Do I need a plumber for a dripping tap in Wilston?
Tap work is licensed work, and in the older houses here a worn seat or a crossed thread can turn a simple drip into a flood, so we bring the common washer sizes.
Who looks after the water main outside my property?
Urban Utilities owns and repairs the public mains and the connection point, while every pipe on your side of that boundary belongs to you, which is the stretch we work on under the same licence.
Why does my tap water run brown first thing in the morning?
Galvanised pipe from the interwar era scales up inside, and water left standing overnight picks up that colour, so a flow test tells us whether one section or the whole line needs replacing.
Can you find a leak without digging up the yard?
Yes, because we follow the pipe run and narrow a hidden leak to a marked spot before any soil moves, which keeps the repair to one small hole instead of a long trench.
What makes plumbing work cost more on these blocks?
Clay drains in shifting hillside soil, galvanised pipe past its best and fittings tucked into cramped under-house laundries all add time to a job, and the fixed quote reflects all of that up front.
