Dripping tap repair, mixer tap replacement, and tap cartridge fitting.
* Estimates only, not a quote — typical figures from recent jobs. Your engineer confirms the exact price before any work starts.
A dripping tap isn't just annoying — it's a metered leak, and in hard-water areas it's usually a washer or cartridge a few pounds costs. Our matched plumbers fix taps properly, with the right parts, in a single visit.
Tell us the tap type and the problem and you'll get a plumber who's fixed that exact tap a hundred times.
Diagnosis: washer, cartridge, valve seat or supply fault.
Repair or replacement of the failed component.
Reassembly and testing for leaks and smooth operation.
Advice: when a repair no longer makes sense vs. a new tap.
Hammering a dripping tap shut grinds the washer faster — fix it instead of forcing it.
In hard-water areas, scale is the #1 tap killer. A softener protects taps, showers and your boiler.
When leaving a property empty in winter, isolate and drain taps to stop freeze damage.
If one tap in a pair fails, the other is close behind — replacing both saves a second call-out.
As a landlord you must keep the property's water, heating, sanitary and drainage systems in good working order and fix them promptly when they fail. You're responsible for structural repairs, the boiler and heating system, plumbing and electrics. Tenants should report faults in writing — and you should respond fast, because a small leak left unattended becomes a big claim.
