On site
What your plumber can do on site
Warning signs
Signs you shouldn’t ignore
Constant drip
A dripping tap wastes water continuously and usually needs a washer or cartridge, not a whole new tap.
Toilet always running
Water trickling into the pan between flushes is a failing inlet or outlet valve.
Low pressure
Pressure that has dropped at one fixture points to that fixture. Dropping everywhere points to the supply.
Banging pipes
Pipes knocking when a tap shuts off means loose fixings or a pressure issue worth checking.

How pricing works
Most general plumbing jobs in south-east Melbourne land in the range above. Your plumber inspects first and quotes after assessing the job, before any work begins. If something unexpected is uncovered during the work (a seized fitting, pipework that fails once it is disturbed) they’ll pause, explain, and re-quote before continuing. There’s no call-out fee, and if you turn the quote down and no work goes ahead, you pay nothing.
