Yes, plumbers in Australia typically require a license to operate. However, licensing regulations differ across states and territories. For instance, any person engaging in work related to plumbing, gas fitting, and draining requires a licence or certificate in NSW. To ensure compliance and high-quality workmanship, it's essential to check the specific licensing requirements in your local area before hiring a plumber.

Fixing minor leaks, replacing showerheads, or small jobs are manageable if you have DIY experience. However, tasks involving gas, electricity, or underground pipes and drainage should be left at the hands of professionals. 

Definitely! You can use Airtasker to connect with local plumbers who are interested in working with you on projects. Indicate your proposed rates and specific details about the project to find the right person for the job.

Yes, Taskers come equipped with the essential tools needed for the job.

Simply discuss the details with your plumber beforehand to ensure a smooth and hassle-free service.

Yes! You can hire Taskers to help with all sorts of drainage issues, such as clearing blocked gutters, maintaining surface and subsurface drainage, and addressing any problems with your underground drainage. They can also fit electrical showers. You can also hire plumbers to help with improving drainage in your garden.

Detecting plumbing issues isn’t always straightforward. Look out for signs like persistently damp patches in your garden or rapid flooding after rain. For a precise diagnosis, it's best to hire a professional who can conduct a thorough inspection and identify the root cause of the problem.

Top Leaking Shower Repair related questions

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.

Top Toilet Repair related questions

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.  

Yes! Should you offer toilet repairs but have more jobs than you can take, you can hire Taskers as extra hands. Put up a task on our platform and get ready to receive quotes from the most experienced Taskers. You can expect local Taskers with the skills and experience you want, to inquire about your job within minutes. They’ll give you a free quote, and then you can negotiate from there. 

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.

What does a plumbing service include?

Your plumber will diagnose any issues, repair them to the highest standard, and give you advice. But the exact process and inclusions will depend on your plumbing needs. Whether you're looking for master plumbers, gasfitters, or drainlayers, here are some of the services you can ask them to do for you:

Plumbing installations

If you’re installing a new kitchen, bathroom, or dishwasher, you’ll need a plumber to get the pipes connected. Your plumber can help with fridge water line installations, mixer tap installations, new shower heads, and more. They’ll take a look at your space and existing setup, then use the right tools, pipes, and equipment to get everything connected and running smoothly, with no leaks.

Fixing leaks

One of the most common plumbing repair issues is leaking showers and taps. Not only does the drip-drip-drip get super irritating, but it can lead to flooding, water wastage, and excessive water bills. Your plumber will check the situation, then turn off your water so they can take a closer look. They’ll repair or patch your leaks and install any new parts needed. If you have emergency services that require quick fixing, you can rely on plumbers to do the task. 

Hot water system repairs and installations

There’s not much worse than running out of hot water for showers, washing machines, and dishwashing. Find a plumber near you to help get it fixed faster when you need emergency hot water system repair, upgrades on your hot water tank, or replacement for your hot water cylinder. Or book a standard gasfitting service with your local gasfitter to make sure everything’s safe and working as it should. Your plumber will assess your hot water needs, recommend any fixes, and then either repair or replace your parts to get them all in working order. 

Pipe repairs

Your pipes are crucial for bringing freshwater in and draining wastewater out, but they can get damaged by storms, interference, tree roots, or just ageing. If you think you have a pipe problem, it’s important to find a local plumber near you and call them in for PVC pipe repairs as soon as possible to minimise damage. If the pipes are exposed, your plumber may disconnect any water services to them, then remove and replace the damaged section. They’ll use high-quality adhesives and seals to ensure the joins don’t leak, move, or burst.

Blocked drains and toilets

If, in the words of Kenny, “there's a smell in here that will outlast religion”, it’s time to call your local plumber for help. Blocked drains and toilets aren’t just smelly. If you leave them, they could overflow and cause flooding and health issues. If you’ve unsuccessfully tried to clear the blockage yourself, call in your plumber. They’ll use more advanced (and powerful) tools to clear even the most stubborn drain blockages and toilet blockages without damaging your pipes and fittings.
