Common Tap Problems We Solve

Our engineers are equipped to handle a variety of faults across kitchen, bathroom, and utility room taps.

1. Persistent Dripping and Leaks

A tap that drips even when turned off tightly usually indicates a worn washer or a damaged valve seat. We provide plumbing pipe repair and valve maintenance to stop the drip and prevent water waste.

2. Leaks from the Tap Spout or Base

If water is leaking from the base of the tap or the swivel spout, it is often a sign of perished internal O-rings. We dismantle the unit and replace these seals to ensure a watertight finish, protecting your worktops and cabinets from water damage.

3. Stiff or Difficult-to-Turn Handles

Over time, limescale and debris can build up inside the tap mechanism, making it difficult to operate. We clean and lubricate the internal components or replace the cartridge to restore smooth, effortless movement.

4. Noisy Taps or Poor Water Flow

Whistling sounds or a sudden drop in water pressure can be caused by a faulty aerator or a blockage in the supply line. As part of our heating system maintenance, we can also check if your boiler or pump is affecting your tap’s performance.

The Benefits of Prompt Tap Repair
