When left unattended and unrepaired, a leaking shower can damage your entire bathroom and property. Moisture can spread to walls and ceilings adjacent to or below your bathroom and degrade drywall and other materials and supportive fixtures in your home. If you spot any signs of water damage in your home, you can also hire a waterproofing professional to assess and get repairs done.

This depends on the amount of damage involved in your showerhead or bathroom. A few minor repairs can take up to half an hour of work. However, if your leaking shower is a sign of more extensive structural damage, then your Tasker may need a few hours to a few days of work. When you put up the task, be sure to include as many details as possible so that your Tasker can let you know how much time the job will take.

Your Tasker may need to use various repair tools, such as a stem and cartridge wrench, basin wrench, basket strainer wrench, reseating tools, and more. They may also need to use chemical agents such as grease-dissolving solutions or sealants. Most likely, they may already have all the equipment they need but be sure to ask them how you can support them as they complete their task.

This depends on the range of services offered by your Tasker. If you need your toilet repaired, then be sure to discuss this with your Tasker first. You can also hire a professional plumber or handyman if you need other repairs for your bathroom done.

No, there’s no need to provide any tools or equipment for this service. Your hired Tasker can arrive at the job site with the necessary tools and equipment. However, any component replacements must come from you. Some Taskers may offer to buy the required components and materials if you don’t have them yet. 

The time it takes to complete toilet repairs can vary depending on the severity of the issue and its complexity. A simple crack on the overflow pipe, waste pipe, or cistern can be filled in less than an hour, but the sealant takes a day to cure. More complex repairs can take an entire day at most. You can ask your hired plumber to know exactly how much time is needed for the service.

Some of the most common toilet problems are a loose flush handle, constantly-running toilet, leaks, problems with odours, and the dreaded blocked toilet. You can fix these issues yourself in some cases, but booking a tradesman on Airtasker to fix it for you would be a better solution, especially if the cause of the problem turns out to be more complex. 

Sure signs are if your toilet runs constantly, the toilet won’t flush or gives a weak flush, and if the toilet doesn’t refill as quickly as before after flushing. Toilet fill valve repair is easy to do, as it often involves cleaning or replacing the fill valve seal. Toilet fill valves are cheap and found in most hardware stores, so the entire unit is often replaced. 

Much like a dripping faucet, a constantly-running toilet can be both wasteful and annoying. Plumbers call this a “phantom flush” and it’s a slow, steady leak of water from the cistern into the bowl. This can usually be fixed by cleaning the flapper to ensure it sits perfectly and seals the flush valve. Should this not fix the problem, the flapper may be worn and replacing it can be the solution.
