Tap Work Across the Headland
Beyond the vanity, we look after shower mixers, laundry tubs, garden taps and tempering valves, and a fitting that will not shut off can point to a hidden leak worth chasing before it turns into a bigger job.
Tap Work on a Salt Headland
Salt finds nearly every street
The headland faces Moreton Bay on one side and Bramble Bay on the other, and sea breezes pit brass, chrome and bare copper on garden taps and balcony mixers long before those parts would fail inland.
Plenty of unit tapware
Census figures put the flat and unit share of homes here at 33.9 per cent, and the balcony and laundry fittings in those blocks cop the worst of the spray.
Old pipe behind old taps
Fibro and brick cottages from the 1940s-1960s, on streets like Georgina Street, can still run their original galvanised supply pipe, which furs up inside and chokes flow at the fitting.
The Tap Work We Do
From a five-minute washer swap to a full mixer replacement, here is the tap work our plumbers carry out across the headland:
Outdoor Tap Repairs
Garden taps and outdoor fittings stripped and rewashered, or swapped for salt-rated gear when the brass has gone thin, with the wall plate and connection checked at the same time.
Bath and Shower Tap Work
Shower mixers, bath spouts and tempering valves pulled apart, cleaned of scale and salt, reseated or cartridge-swapped, with temperature and flow finally checked before the wall tiling is left alone.
Laundry Tap Repairs
Laundry tubs, washing machine taps and twin hose connections overhauled or replaced, with flexi hoses checked for bulges and the copper under older floors looked at while we are there.

Common Tap Problems in Woody Point
These are the four tap faults Plumber Woody Point gets called to most on the headland:
The Tap That Keeps Dripping
A drip means a worn washer, a scored seat or a dead cartridge rather than a dead tap, and a reseating kit or fresh parts stops most of them cold.
Seized Spindles and Handles
Older taps seize when scale and salt bind the spindle threads, and a soak, clean and re-grease frees the mechanism, with a new spindle fitted when the threads have stripped.
Weak Flow Everywhere
When flow drops at every tap, the old galvanised supply line in a mid-century cottage has furred up inside, and we can quote a replacement copper section on the spot.
The Tap That Will Not Shut
A tap that keeps running has a failed washer, a broken spindle or debris under the seat, and shutting the water at the meter makes it safe until we arrive.
Why Fixing It Early Matters
A dripping tap is never just a noise: it is metered water, salt-damaged brass and sometimes the first sign of something bigger, and here is why fixing it early pays:
Every drip is metered
You pay for water that runs straight down the drain. On a headland with plenty of retirees watching the bills, a steady drip is worth stopping the week it starts.
Salt shortens the job
Sea air eats brass and bare copper on balcony and garden fittings well before their inland lifespan. Parts swapped here need to be chosen for the coast or the drip comes back.
A tap can be the messenger
Weak flow at every fitting points to old pipe furring up, and a flexi hose bulging behind a laundry tub can turn into a burst pipe job overnight.

Tap Questions From the Headland
Call (07) 3524 7117Why do outdoor taps in Woody Point fail faster than they would inland?
Sea air off Bramble Bay carries salt onto balcony and garden tapware, pitting brass and chrome well ahead of their inland lifespan, so we fit parts rated for the coast.
Does Unitywater repair the taps on my side of the meter?
No, Unitywater maintains the street mains plus the meter, while every tap, pipe and fitting past that connection on your side is yours to maintain, and that side is what our licence covers.
Can I replace a tap washer myself?
You can, and plenty of people do, but a tap that drips on after a fresh washer usually has a worn seat or a salt-roughened spindle, and that is where the proper tools earn their keep.
What makes tap repairs cost more in an older Woody Point cottage?
Mostly age, because a mid-century cottage here may still be plumbed in old galvanised steel, and seized fittings or buried stopcocks add labour before the tap itself is a simple part swap.
Do you replace taps as well as repair them?
Yes, because once a body cracks or the salt eats the threads past a reseating we quote a replacement suited to coastal conditions and fit it under the same licence.
