Tap and mixer repairs in Cape Town, quoted honestly before we start

Dripping tap keeping you up at night? A mixer that won't stop running? Send us a WhatsApp photo and we'll give you a price before anyone drives out.

Klipspringer Plumbing repairs taps and mixers across Cape Town, from Muizenberg to Fish Hoek. You WhatsApp us a photo and tell us what the tap is doing. We send a number first, then arrive with the washers, seals and cartridge likely to fit, so one visit usually sorts it. The work gets done, you get photos of it and an invoice that matches the quote. Here is when to call us.

When You Need Tap And Mixer Repairs

So you know the signs. A tap that drips through the night. A mixer handle gone stiff, so you wrestle it every morning or water pooling under the basin where the cupboard base has started to swell.

Older houses bring their own version of this: worn washers, perished seals and galvanised fittings that seize over the years. In homes built before 1980, the original taps have simply had a long run.

None of it fixes itself. A slow drip wastes water on your bill every month. The swollen cupboard below gets worse the longer it sits. That is the point most people stop putting it off and reach for the WhatsApp photo quote.

How Tap And Mixer Repairs Work

1. You WhatsApp us a photo of the tap or mixer and tell us what it is doing.
2. We look at the make and the fault, then send you a price before we book a time.
3. We arrive with the washers, seals and cartridge likely to fit, so one visit usually does it.
4. If we open it up and find something more, we stop and ask before spending another rand.
5. You get photos of the work done and an invoice that matches the quote.

What Tap And Mixer Repairs Cost

What sets the price? The part. A worn washer is cheap. A full mixer cartridge costs more and a seized old fitting can take longer to free.

So we quote from the photo first. You know the number before we knock.

Sometimes a tap is too far gone to repair. We will tell you that honestly. We would rather say so than charge you for a patch that fails in a month.

Frequently asked questions

Will I get a proper invoice I can hand to my insurer or body corporate and what happens if the work isn't right?

Yes, the invoice matches the quote, with before and after photos for your records.

Can you repair my mixer, or will it need replacing altogether?

Often a cartridge or seal sorts it. If it is too far gone, we tell you honestly.

What will it cost to fix a dripping tap and is there a call-out fee on top of the labour?

Tap re-washer: R550 excl. VAT. Mixer cartridge replacement (excluding cartridge): from R750 excl. VAT. Call-out (trip and first assessment, first 30 minutes): R450 excl. VAT. Labour, after hours, weekends and public holidays (per hour): R950 excl. VAT per hour: per hour, after hours, weekends and public holidays. R650 excl. VAT per hour, weekdays 07:30–17:00.

VAT (call-out); always quoted before we fit them: cost plus a fair handling margin (Parts).

Will the water need to go off for the whole house and how long will the job take?

Only the tap or mixer being worked on needs isolating and most jobs are done in one visit.

Will I get overcharged for something as small as a tap or mixer repair?

No, you get the price from your photo first, so there is nothing to add on the day.

Are mixer taps actually repairable, or do they always need replacing?

Most are repairable with a new cartridge or washer. Only a badly seized or corroded mixer needs full replacement.

Stop living with that dripping tap

A drip never fixes itself. The washer wears thinner. A slow leak turns into a steady run. Your water bill climbs every month.

WhatsApp us a photo of the tap or mixer and you get an honest price before we arrive. Whether it's your own kitchen or a tap a tenant flagged, the price stays the same from quote to invoice. We sort this and the rest of your Plumber jobs across the far south.
