Here's what you need to know. Minor repairs like fixing a dripping tap start from around R400 to R800. More involved work such as replacing a cistern mechanism or fixing a leaking pipe joint can cost R800 to R2,500 depending on the parts and labour.

A worn washer is the most common cause, but a dripping tap can also be caused by a damaged valve seat, a worn O-ring, or a corroded spindle. A plumber can diagnose the exact issue quickly. A local Durbanville professional can give tailored advice.

The short answer: small hairline cracks can sometimes be sealed temporarily, but a cracked basin or toilet bowl generally needs full replacement. Cracks can worsen under pressure and cause leaks or flooding.

Most plumbers offer same-day service for urgent issues like burst pipes or severe leaks. Emergency call-out fees are typically higher, ranging from R500 to R1,000 on top of the repair cost.

For Durbanville homeowners, if there is an active leak, yes. Locate your main stopcock and turn it off to prevent water damage. If you are unsure where it is, your plumber can help you find it when they arrive.
