A Family Home in Kilysth South: How New Tapware Brought Comfort, Style, and Confidence Back to Everyday Living
Everyday Comfort Restored with Modern Tapware
There is something instantly uplifting about turning on a tap and having everything work exactly the way it should. No stiffness, no drips, no wobbling handles, just smooth, steady water flow. That simple comfort was exactly what a family in Kilysth South had been missing, which is why they called their trusted local plumber Melbourne residents turn to. Their kitchen mixer had lost its strength, the basin taps were outdated, and the shower and bath fittings were no longer performing as they should. With kitchen and bathroom renovations on their minds, they were ready for an upgrade that would refresh their home, restore functionality, and make daily routines effortless.
Transforming the Kitchen with Style and Function
Our team began in the kitchen, removing the old, worn-out mixer and replacing it with a modern gooseneck-style square mixer. Every connection was carefully checked, the water flow tested for smooth operation, and the mixer secured with a clean silicone finish. The new design immediately elevated the space, blending contemporary style with improved usability for cooking, washing, and cleaning.

Modernising Bathroom Fixtures for Ease of Use
The bathrooms received the same level of attention. Old basin taps had become more of a frustration than a convenience. The family wanted something modern, reliable, and stylish. We removed the old fixtures and installed taller basin mixers, providing better reach and smoother operation. Chrome hole covers were added over the old tap holes, leaving a neat, polished appearance. To make future service easier, mini stops were fitted to allow quick water isolation, giving the family greater control and peace of mind.
Upgraded Shower Assemblies
Stiff, unreliable shower fittings were replaced with new chrome assemblies. Proper alignment, seating, and leak-free operation ensured smooth water flow and consistent temperature, turning daily showers into a stress-free routine.
Enhanced Bath Fittings
Bath spouts were replaced with swivel chrome fittings for better positioning and ease of use. Thorough testing confirmed leak-free, smooth operation, offering the family confidence and comfort in their bath area.

The Finished Result: Reliability and Peace of Mind
The transformation was clear. Worn-out fixtures were replaced with modern, reliable tapware, improving usability, maintenance, and overall comfort. Every installation was carried O’Shea Plumbing’s seven-year workmanship guarantee, providing lasting confidence in the quality of the work.
