Tap Repairs & Replacement Services
From replacing an old kitchen tap to repairing a dripping bathroom tap, I can help with a range of common household tap problems.
Where practical, I'll repair the existing tap. If replacement makes more sense, I'm also happy to fit a suitable new tap you've purchased yourself.
-
I can repair and replace a range of bathroom and basin taps, including mixer taps and separate hot and cold taps, depending on the existing installation and access.
-
Whether your existing kitchen tap is leaking, difficult to operate or simply due for an upgrade, I can remove the old tap and install a suitable replacement.
Customer-supplied kitchen taps are welcome.
-
Tap problems aren't always caused by the tap itself. Leaking flexible hoses, connections and faulty isolation valves can also require attention when repairing or replacing a tap.
-
Already bought your new tap? No problem. I'm happy to install suitable customer-supplied taps.
Send me the product details and photos of your existing tap beforehand and I'll check for any obvious installation or compatibility issues.
-
Loose taps, stiff handles and other tap problems can sometimes be repaired without replacing the complete tap. I'll inspect the tap and advise on the most practical option.
-
A constantly dripping tap can waste water and become increasingly annoying. Depending on the tap and availability of suitable parts, it may be possible to repair the existing tap rather than replace it.
Should I Repair or Replace My Tap?
Not every dripping or leaking tap needs to be replaced.
Depending on the type, age and condition of the tap, some faults can be repaired by replacing cartridges, washers or other components.
If the tap is heavily worn, damaged, difficult to obtain parts for or you simply want something new, replacing it may be the more practical option.
I'll assess the existing tap and let you know which option makes the most sense.
Already Bought Your New Tap?
If you've already purchased a kitchen or bathroom tap, I'm happy to fit it for you where it's suitable for the existing installation.
Before booking, send me a photo of your current tap, the pipework underneath and a link or photo of the new tap you've purchased.
This allows me to check the installation beforehand and identify any additional fittings or alterations that may be required.

Here are a few examples of tap repairs and replacements I've completed for customers around Leicester, Syston and surrounding areas.
Tap Access & Existing Pipework
The time required to replace a tap can vary depending on how easily the tap and connections can be accessed.
Kitchen sinks and basins with good access underneath are usually more straightforward, while taps positioned behind deep sinks, baths or fitted furniture can take longer to remove and replace.
I'll also check the condition of the existing pipework, flexible hoses and isolation valves while carrying out the work.
How Much Does Tap Replacement Cost?
My standard rate for general plumbing work is £50 per hour, plus any parts or materials required.
The time needed to repair or replace a tap depends on the type of tap, accessibility, condition of the existing fittings and whether any additional plumbing work is required.
