FIX-A-TAP Australia markets its product ranges within Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands to all leading hardware and plumbing outlets, such as the following groups:

It’s important not to overtighten any washers or valves when you replace them, as this can cause excessive stress on the valve and will soon lead to dripping again. To be Australia's leading supplier of quality maintenance plumbing products, offering our customers the Ultimate Plumbing Solution. Our valuesSubstitute existing products and materials with recycled content whenever deemed practicable and environmentally beneficial. Compression valve taps, which need a full turn or more to reach maximum power, use rubber washers. These washers sit at the base of the valve and form a seal to stop water flow. Drips occur when the washer starts to wear away. Tap maintenance product range - repair parts for taps, spouts, sinks, basins, showers, washing machines & dishwashers.

Require our contractors and suppliers to be accountable for their products and/or materials that are supplied and to encourage the use of recycled materials. Some of our larger PET plastic blisters are also classified as not-recyclable, due to non-paper items greater than 200 mm in two dimensions being incorrectly passed through to the paper stream at an Australian MRF. Today, over 40 years later, FIX-A-TAP Australia is recognised as Australia’s premier supplier of cistern and tap maintenance items and general pressure hose, with in excess of 1000 individual product lines, a staff of 40 people and a dynamic National Distribution Network. Ceramic disc valve taps, such as modern monobloc mixer taps, reach maximum power after half a turn or less, and use ceramic discs instead of washers.Before you start any plumbing work, turn off your water supply. Then run off any excess water through the pipes. Before you start to dismantle your tap you can put a plug into the sink so you don’t accidentally lose any small parts or screws.
