Change basin tap set due to leaking hot water

Hello, I need a skilled plumber to address some maintenance and repair issues in my home. Below are the specific plumbing concerns: 1. Leaky Kitchen Sink: Water is escaping from my sink. While it’s not a major issue during regular use, when the sink is full and I unplug it, there’s a noticeable leak underneath.I suspect wear and tear in the washer or O-ring, which may need replacement. 2. Water Hammer My pipes emit a loud banging noise when I turn the water flow on or off in both the bathroom and kitchen. Despite having our house water pressure inspected by Yarra Valley Water (with no issues found), the staff believes there might be an underlying problem related to the hot water system or other factors.Urgent attention is required to resolve this issue promptly. 3. Shower Head Leakage: My shower head leaks unless I tighten it excessively. It’s likely due to a faulty washer or jumper valve. 4. Toilet Pan Connector Replacement: Two toilet pan connectors need replacement. The rubber seals may have deteriorated over time. I’ve temporarily rotated the rubber seals and applied sealant and sticky tape to prevent further leakage. 5. Drain Trap Installation or Replacement: The old S-trap under the bathroom sink occasionally leaks. I’ve used a plastic pipe connector as a temporary fix, but I’m concerned about its long-term durability. Installing a new drain trap or reconnecting the old one properly would be ideal. If you specialize in plumbing repairs, please feel free to leave a message or provide a quote for any or all of the mentioned jobs. Thank you Nathan

Hi there, I need some professional help with some house maintenance and repairs as soon as possible, especially the water hammer. Below are the specific issues I’d like addressed: 1. Leaky Kitchen Sink: Water is leaking from my kitchen sink. Under normal use (minimal water collection and regular washing up), it’s not a significant problem. However, when the sink is full and I unplug it, there’s a leak underneath. I suspect wear and tear in the washer or O-ring, which needs replacement. 2. Water Hammer: My pipes make a loud banging noise when I turn the water flow on or off, especially with the shower taps. Yarra Valley Water has inspected our house water pressure, and there are no issues there. The staff believes the problem might be related to the hot water system. 3. Shower Head Leak: The shower head leaks unless I tighten it very tightly. It could be due to a faulty washer or jumper valve. 4. Old Bathroom Fan Replacement: The existing bathroom fan runs at a low speed and doesn’t effectively draw air out of the bathroom. As a result, there are cracks and mould on the bathroom ceiling. I’d like to replace the fan. However, during an inspection by an electrician, it was noted that the fan isn’t directly connected to the outside of my home through its own duct. Replacing the fan itself would address the issue, but I may need ductwork installed to vent outside. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you’re interested in these jobs, please feel free to provide a quote or leave a message below. Best

I believe this job will require a registered plumber with excellent experience, skills and judgement. Essentially, the job is to connect a new washing machine AFTER replacing very old taps and removing and capping an existing tap. You will be required to provide and install 2 x new taps with threading to enable washing machine hoses to be screwed on. It will also require cutting off an existing tap that does not appear to do anything but if it remains, the lid on the top loader will not be able to be opened (it just sticks out from the wall???). The house is very old and as such there may be difficulty in replacing the old taps. If you make the assessment that the job is too difficult and cannot be done without damaging the existing pipes I will pay you for your time to visit and inspect (capped at $90). If you can successfully complete the job then the visit and inspection is to be included as part of the total price. Seeking for the job to be completed Friday however, we can be flexible and discuss completing next week if that is required. Seeking an honest and professional trades person to complete this job for my cousin who is on a disability pension who is living in a house approx 80 years old. Happy to answer any questions and I will provide photos as best I can. If any questions- pls ask. Would appreciate if you can quote on inspection AND total job cost (including inspection) if you believe you can successfully complete the task. Although Bunnings is only 5 mins away, best you arrive with 2 x replacement taps as that will save time and therefore $. End state is that washing machine is successfully installed in position with hoses connected and site is clean. - Due date: Needs to be done on Friday, 15 December 2023
