Leaking Tap Repair in Singapore
If the tap keeps dripping, leaks from the base or no longer shuts off cleanly, we help narrow the likely fault fast: worn cartridge, spindle issue, loose connection, mixer-body leak or nearby valve trouble.
What This Page Helps You Narrow Down
- Useful for kitchen sink taps, basin taps, shower mixers and exposed tap leaks where the problem is already visible.
- We separate tap-only faults from nearby valve, hose or exposed pipe issues before advising repair or replacement.
- A clear photo of the leak point and tap type helps us narrow parts and visit scope faster.
Most Common Root Causes
We use symptom-first diagnosis so the final recommendation matches the actual issue, not just the most obvious surface sign.
Worn cartridge, spindle or internal seal
A drip that continues after the tap is closed often points to internal wear rather than a bigger pipe issue.
Loose hose, stop-cock or exposed fitting
Sometimes the visible leak is beside the tap, under the basin or at the angle valve rather than inside the tap body itself.
Tap-base or mixer-body leak
Leaks around the base, body or swivel point can come from worn seals, corrosion or hardware fatigue over time.
Replacement mismatch after earlier install
Wrong fitting size, poor thread sealing or older valves can cause leaks to return even after a prior tap change.
What We Check On Site
- Exact leak point: spout, handle, base, hose, stop-cock or exposed pipe joint.
- Tap type: pillar tap, mixer tap, shower mixer or wall-mounted point.
- Whether the leak continues even when the tap is fully shut.
- Condition of under-sink hose, stop-cock and accessible fittings.
- Whether you prefer repair only or tap replacement if parts are no longer practical.
When To Prioritize Urgent Support
- Water cannot be stopped fully even after closing the tap.
- Leak is reaching cabinet boards, countertop edges or nearby electrical points.
- The local stop-cock is stuck, weak or cannot isolate the point properly.
- The leak started during tenant handover, moving day or before a scheduled inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a leaking tap be repaired without changing the whole tap?
Often yes. If the issue is the cartridge, seal, spindle or a nearby fitting, repair may be enough. If the body is worn or parts are not practical to source, replacement is usually the cleaner option.
Can you tell from photos if it is the tap or the valve leaking?
Usually yes for a first-pass direction. Send a close photo or short video of the exact leak point, plus the underside if accessible.
Do you handle kitchen, bathroom and shower mixer taps?
Yes. We work on common sink taps, basin taps, shower mixers and exposed fittings used in HDB, condo and landed homes.
Can you replace the stop-cock or hose on the same visit?
Yes, when the leak source turns out to be the nearby valve, hose or exposed fitting rather than the tap body alone.
Can I supply my own replacement tap?
Yes. Send the tap model and photos of the existing setup first so we can check fitting compatibility and likely installation scope.
