Tap Repairs & Replacements
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.
Leaking or Loose Sinks & Waste Traps
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.
Stop Tap Replacement & Servicing
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.
Outdoor Taps & Garden Tap Installation
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.
