Make the right repair.
A leak at the spout, a leak around the handle and water below the sink can have different causes. We inspect the tap and its connections rather than assume a new washer will fix every drip.
A conventional tap may need attention to seals, washers or the seat. A mixer can use a cartridge and other model-specific components. The repair depends on the fitting’s condition and whether suitable parts are available.
If water is appearing away from the tap, the source may be hidden pipework. We can discuss water leak detection or leaking pipe and valve repairs where needed.

Choose what works next.
A repair can be a sensible option for a sound fitting. A damaged body, repeated faults or unavailable parts can make replacement more practical. We explain those options before changing the tap.
When choosing replacement tapware, the existing mounting, connections, available space and intended use matter. If you have already bought a tap, send us the product details so we can discuss compatibility and installation.
You can combine the visit with toilet repairs or other plumbing work. Tell us the full list when booking so we can plan the job.

FAQs
Your tap repair questions, answered.
Can you fix a dripping tap without replacing it?
Often a worn component can be replaced if the tap body is sound and parts are available. We inspect the fitting and explain whether a repair is practical or replacement is the better option.
Why is my mixer tap leaking around the base?
The leak may involve a seal, cartridge or connection, but its location alone does not confirm the cause. Tell us whether water appears during use, all the time or inside the cupboard below.
Do mixer taps use the same parts as older taps?
No. Many mixers use model-specific cartridges, while conventional taps may use washers and other serviceable components. Photos, a brand and a model number help us identify what is fitted.
Can you repair or replace a garden tap?
Yes. We can assess a dripping or faulty garden tap and discuss repair or replacement. Tell us if the tap is difficult to turn or if the pipe connection also appears to be leaking.
Can you install a tap I have already bought?
Send us the product details and photos of the existing fitting. We can discuss whether the replacement suits the mounting and connections, along with the installation required.
Should I tighten the handle harder to stop a drip?
Avoid forcing the handle. Extra pressure can damage the fitting without resolving the worn component. Arrange an inspection if the tap keeps dripping or becomes difficult to turn.
How much does a leaking tap repair cost?
The tap type, access, parts and condition affect the price. Replacement tapware can also vary in cost. We discuss the proposed repair or replacement before work begins.
