A dripping or stiff tap usually means worn cartridges, washers, O-rings or ceramic discs.
We repair taps where cost-effective — and replace when necessary.
We work with:
Basin taps
Bath taps
Kitchen mixer taps
Shower mixer valves
Traditional and modern tap sets
If a replacement is needed, we can supply and install suitable like-for-like fixtures.
Sinks and waste traps can develop:
Slow drips under the basin
Loose or cracked waste seals
Blocked P-traps or bottle traps
Movement of the basin or pipework
We:
Identify the leak source
Replace seals, washers or trap sections
Secure fittings and waste outlets
Test flow, seal integrity and drainage
A clean repair prevents water damage and mould growth.
Your stop tap controls the entire water supply to your home.
If it is stiff, seized or leaking, it may not shut off properly in an emergency.
We:
Free, service, or re-seat stiff stop taps
Replace damaged or seized internal stop taps
Install additional isolation valves (kitchen/bathroom local shut-offs)
Having a working stop tap saves time and stress if a leak occurs.
We install and service:
Outside garden taps
Drinking water-safe external fittings
Isolation valves and cold-feed protection
Fitted neatly and securely, with proper winter-proofing to reduce freeze risk.
Where replacement parts are required, we ensure model-compatible, manufacturer-approved components are used.

1) Can you fix dripping taps without replacing the whole tap?
Yes. If the body is sound, we repair internal parts like cartridges and seals.
2) My stop tap is stuck — can it be freed?
Often yes. If not, we replace it cleanly with minimal disruption.
3) Do you supply taps, sinks and fittings if needed?
Yes — we can provide suitable, high-quality fixtures or fit those you have purchased.
4) My sink is leaking but I can’t see where from — can you trace it?
Yes — we test and identify the exact source before repairing.
5) Can you install isolation valves under sinks and toilets?
Yes — this is common and makes future work easier and cheaper.
