Tap Repairs
Dripping mixers, stiff handles, worn cartridges and burst flexi hoses behind vanities. Ellendale faults usually sit at the fitting rather than in the pipework, so repairs stay small and contained.

Where Your Job Fits in Upper Kedron
Not sure which page holds your job? This band sorts the calls we take every week:
A dripping tap or a stiff mixer handle
A running cistern, or a flush that does nothing
A shower that dribbles, or a full wet-area renovation
A blocked kitchen sink or a dishwasher that will not drain
A water bill climbing for no clear reason
Fitting a gas appliance, moving a bayonet or chasing a suspect gas line
A Suburb of Houses
Almost no units
Census figures put 99.7 percent of homes here as fully detached, and 88.3 percent carry four bedrooms or more. That makes nearly every job on our run house work: big roofs, several wet areas, and hot water systems feeding households of three or more.
Two building waves
The early 2000s releases came first, then the Ellendale estate from 2016, across sloping lots hard against D'Aguilar National Park. The split keeps every repair interesting.
The newest homes carry young pipework but builder-grade fittings, while the 2000s homes now hold twenty-year-old mixers, cisterns and supply lines that are starting to let go in batches.
What We Fix Every Week
Each link below opens its own page: what the job involves, when homes here call us for it, and one local detail that shapes the fix.
Toilet Repairs
Cisterns that keep flowing, buttons that jam, pans that wobble and slow seepage into the bowl. We carry common cistern parts on the van, because a running loo wastes water fast.
Bathroom Plumbing
Shower mixers, floor wastes, leaking shower screens and rough-ins for renovations. With several bathrooms in most homes here, one can be off duty while the rest of the house keeps working.
Kitchen Plumbing
Blocked sink drains, dripping spouts, dishwasher and filtered water connections. Kitchens on the newer homes often sit at slab level with long waste runs, so gunk settles where the fall eases.
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks under slabs, inside walls and along the long supply runs feeding big detached homes. We start from your meter and your bill, narrowing the search before any tiles come up.
Gas Fitting
New bayonet points, appliance disconnections and reconnections, gas line repairs and compliance checks. If you smell gas at any hour, get everyone outside and phone us from the footpath.

Maintain, Repair or Replace
Every fixture reaches a decision point, and the honest answer depends on the part and the house:
Maintain
when the fixture is sound but the serviceable parts are worn: a mixer cartridge, a cistern inlet valve, a washer set. The fitting stays, so the job stays small.
Repair
when something has failed locally: a cracked joint, a corroded isolation valve, a split hose. We isolate, swap the failed part and leave the rest of the run alone.
Replace
when the failure is systemic: a cistern with no parts available, a mixer that has been bodged twice before, a supply line past its last repair.
A 2018 Ellendale build usually wants the small stuff. A 2000s home on the older side wants repairs, or a planned swap before the next failure. When the problem is hot water, the fix-or-replace call sits with hot water, and everything that runs downhill sits with drainage.
Ground That Fights Back in Upper Kedron
Rock under the trench
The soil profile here is shale, rock and alluvial fill, so trenching for a new gas line or a bathroom re-route goes slower than clay country ever would. We price that reality up front rather than finding it halfway through.
Where settling shows up
Lines laid into rock stay put. The rural pockets near Cedar Creek Hall, a hall recorded since 1890, sit on mixed alluvial ground instead, and that is where pulled joints and settled pipes turn up on our run.

Questions Before the Visit
Call (07) 3067 4276Why do the taps on newer homes here fail sooner?
Several builders worked side by side at the Ellendale display village, so the tapware, hoses and isolation valves differ from one street to another, and the early fittings wear out in patches across the estate.
Do you rough in plumbing for a bathroom reno in Upper Kedron?
Yes, we run the full wet-area side of a renovation, from re-routing supply and waste lines to setting mixer positions, with every new pipe checked before any wall closes over it.
Who owns the water main and meter at my place?
Urban Utilities owns the street main and the boundary meter; the pipes on the house side of that connection are yours, so a repair past the meter is our job, not theirs.
Can I swap my own tapware in Queensland?
A like-for-like tap swap is generally fine for an owner, but any change to pipework, a new gas connection or work behind a wall needs a licensed plumber under QBCC No: 15024607.
What should I check before calling about a leak?
Read the meter with every tap off, lift the cistern lid and look for a trickle into the bowl, and feel the vanity cupboard floor for damp; those are the first places a slow leak shows.
