Kitchen Tap
Repair & Replacement
The kitchen tap is the hardest-working fixture in your home, used dozens of times a day for cooking, cleaning, and washing up. That constant wear means kitchen taps are usually the first to develop drips, loose handles, or weak water flow.
We handle every style of kitchen tap repair and kitchen tap replacement, including monobloc mixers, dual-lever taps, pull-out and pull-down spray taps, swan-neck designs, and boiling water taps. Common issues we resolve include limescale-blocked spouts, faulty cartridges, leaks at the base, low water pressure, and worn O-rings. If you're upgrading, we'll also help you choose a tap that suits your sink configuration and water pressure.Fix my tap
Basin Tap
Repair & Replacement
Basin taps in the bathroom and cloakroom need to combine reliable function with a clean, attractive finish. Even a small drip is highly visible and can stain the ceramic over time. Our team carries out basin tap repair and basin tap replacement on pillar taps (separate hot and cold), monobloc mixers, waterfall taps, wall-mounted taps, and tall vessel basin taps for countertop bowls.
Typical repairs include replacing worn washers, fixing leaking spindles, addressing loose mounting beneath the basin, and tackling restricted flow caused by aerator build-up. We can also reseat or replace tap connections where corrosion has set in.Replace my tapCall us
Bath Tap
Repair & Replacement
Bath taps face heavier use under higher pressure and often combine with shower diverters, making faults slightly more complex. A leaking bath tap can also be harder to detect early, as water often escapes behind the bath panel.
We handle bath tap repair and bath tap replacement on deck-mounted bath fillers, wall-mounted bath taps, bath-shower mixers with handheld diverters, freestanding bath taps, and traditional crosshead designs. Common problems include diverter mechanism failures, dripping spouts, loose handles, leaks where the tap meets the bath, and shower attachment faults. We also reseal around the tap base to prevent water damage to surrounding surfaces.Fix bath tap

When You Need a Tap Repair
Repair is usually the right choice when the tap body is in good condition and the fault lies with internal components. A quick fix will normally solve the problem if you notice:
- A steady drip from the spout when the tap is turned off
- Stiff, squeaky, or hard-to-turn handles
- A minor leak from the base of the tap or beneath the handle
- Reduced water flow caused by limescale or a blocked aerator
- A slight wobble in the tap body that can be tightened from below
- Humming, rattling, or whistling noises when the tap is in use
- A faulty diverter on a bath-shower mixer that won't switch cleanly
In most of these cases, replacing a washer, cartridge, ceramic disc, or O-ring restores the tap to full working order at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.
When You Need a Tap Replacement
Replacement becomes the better option when the tap is beyond economical repair or when wider issues are involved. We'll usually recommend a new tap if you notice:
- Visible corrosion, rust, or pitting on the tap body
- Persistent leaks that return even after repair work
- Cracked, chipped, or damaged casing
- Chrome plating that has worn through or is flaking
- Internal parts that are no longer available because the model is discontinued
- A tap that isn't compatible with your water pressure system
- Outdated separate hot and cold taps you'd like to replace with a modern mixer
- Tap design that no longer fits the style of a renovated kitchen or bathroom
Replacement is also worth considering if you're refurbishing the room or upgrading to a more water-efficient design. We can supply and fit a new tap, or install one you've already purchased — whichever suits you best.

FAQs about Tap Repair & Replacement
Most tap repairs are a fixed, affordable callout fee plus the cost of any small parts such as washers, cartridges, or O-rings. We'll always confirm pricing before starting work so there are no surprises.
A standard repair, such as replacing a washer or cartridge, usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. More complex jobs involving cartridge removal on older taps, or repairs combined with descaling, may take a little longer.
If the tap body is in good condition and the drip is caused by internal wear, repair is normally the most cost-effective option. If the tap is corroded, discontinued, or has had repeated faults, replacement usually works out better long term.
Either option works. We can source quality taps from trusted brands at competitive prices, or we're happy to fit a tap you've already purchased.
The valve seat inside the tap may be worn or pitted, preventing the washer from sealing properly. This can usually be reground (reseated) or, on modern taps, fixed by replacing the ceramic disc cartridge.
All our tap repairs and replacements come with a workmanship guarantee, and any new taps we supply include the manufacturer's warranty.
Yes. We work with all major UK and European tap brands, including traditional and contemporary designs, and we carry common replacement parts on the van.
