Whether it’s your kitchen, bathroom, tub, laundry, or garden tap, a leakage or drip is a waste of extra water which is going to cost you money.

Tap solutions are relatively quick and non-invasive and should always be done by a licensed and experienced plumber. Tap repair and replacement jobs should be carried out immediately and a DIY job can cost you more if not done professionally and properly.
MOST COMMON TAP PROBLEMS ADDRESSED:
- DRIPS & LEAKS:
Most of the time, a leaky, dripping, or hard to close tap is the result of a broken or completely worn-out washer. Not only is it a total waste of water, but it’s also annoying. No matter how hard you turn them, you cannot escape the drip. Replacing a broken or worn-out tap washer in a leaky tap yourself isn’t too complicated. If your tap uses a washer and has been dripping or become very hard to close, then you may want to replace the washer. However, if you are not 100% confident about what you’re doing and how you’re doing it, we recommend you call a plumber to get the job done right the first time.
- REPLACE A TAP:
Need to replace a broken tap? Or planning to give your bathroom a new contemporary look by changing tapware? Follow these steps for If you’re thinking of replacing a tap because it’s dripping, think about trying to repair it first. Replacing a sink tap, whether it’s in your kitchen or bathroom, is easier than a lot of other tap plumbing jobs and can be done yourself with some expert tips. The first thing to do is turn off the water supply and to find out the number of holes in the tap. The easiest way to tell which type of tap you have already is to look under the sink. You’ll be able to see the number of holes from the bottom. Get under the basin and use a wrench to undo the screws and remove the old tap. Get the new tap and connect the threaded post to your tap, then feed into the basin hole. Make sure the tap sits snugly. Screw the nut tightly onto the threaded post. Your tap is now gripped onto your basin.
