Think your toilet might be leaking?
Toilet leaks are one of the most common plumbing issues homes in Kotara have to deal with. You might notice water around the base, hear water running when no one has flushed, or notice a more expensive water bill.Â
We find leaks and repair toilets in Kotara every week. Whether it’s a broken flapper, a worn out fill valve, or water leaking from the base.Â
Signs Your Toilet Might Be Leaking
Water constantly running in the bowl
Drips or pooling water at the base
Strange hissing or trickling sounds
Strange Smells from your toilet
Higher Water bills with no clear reason
When you book with Leak Hunters, we’ll inspect your toilet, find the leak, and repair it on the spot where possible.
What Causes a Leaking Toilet?
The most common problems we see in Kotara homes are:
- Worn-out flapper: This is the tank’s rubber seal. Water can continuously leak into the bowl if the flapper is old, or starts not to seal properly.Â
- Malfunctioning fill valve: The fill valve might be the cause of your tank starting to overflow, or continue to fill
- Leaking at the base: The wax ring underneath the toilet might have failed if you start to see water pooling on the floor around the toilet. To prevent further damage to your flooring, this needs quick attention.
- Loose or cracked parts: Bolts, the supply line, or even a tiny crack in the tank or bowl can sometimes be the issue.Â

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell where my toilet leak is coming from?
Try a simple food colouring test. If colour shows up in the bowl without flushing, the leak is inside the tank. Water pooling around the base of your toilet is usually a sign that the issue is in the seal underneath
Can I fix my leaking toilet myself?
You might be able to fix a flapper or tighten a valve, but we recommend calling a licensed plumber to fix toilet repairs. Plumbers have the expertise to identify the leak, and repair the issue without causing further damage.Â
Do I need a plumber for a leaking toilet?
In most cases, yes. Leaks that haven’t been repaired properly can cause further water damage, mould, and higher water bills.Â
Why is my toilet leaking in Kotara?
If you can see that your toilet is leaking, it’s likely because of worn out parts, a poor seal, cracks or loose fittings.Â
How much will it cost to repair a leaking toilet?
The cost will change depending on what is causing your toilet to leak. We’ll always inspect the toilet first, explain what work we need to do, and give you a clear price before we start.

OUR REVIEWS
EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews Posted on Google Vanessa Neri1 June 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was extremely happy with the service I received from this Business. From the phone call I had with Jordan and the young man that came was very polite and professional. Will definitely use them for further plumbing if needed.Posted on Google Steve Prince31 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent call out service. A cracked water pipe on a Sunday morning required the water mains to the home to be immediately turned off, and an urgent phone call to Leak Hunters requesting their assistance. Less than one hour later, the leak was repaired, and the mains water supply was turned back on. Thank you, Leak Hunters!Posted on Google positiveupside112 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael and his other young worker came a little bit ago to find a leak in my pool. Thankfully they were able to find the leak with ease, showed me and rectified the issue. While they were here they also did some plumbing stuff in my house and showed us our hoses on our taps were about to deteriorate. So thankfully we had these rectified as it’s not something you think to look at on a general basis till it’s too late. Thanks boys you were greatPosted on Google Cherylle Stone2 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed some advice and action on how to divert stormwater from flooding my garage. Leak Hunters staff assessed the problem and have addressed it by improving the drainage configuration. Thanks guys.Posted on Google Andrew Saint2 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. New to Town we spied a couple of leak hunters wandering Kotara food court. Prompted to search their website we soon made phone & personal contact with Cameron. Quoted for shower & toilet replacement; and replacement of several taps. Happy with the price, Cameron arranged for Jack & Jake to skilfully execute the job from 0800 the following day. The three were all personable young tradies. Very pleased with the outcome, & grateful for the responsive service received. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Jo Kemp27 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
