Tap Replacement

What tap replacement covers

A planned visit to remove an existing tap and fit a new one, ensuring all connections are secure and watertight.

• Isolation of hot and cold supplies before work starts
• Removal of the old tap and assessment of the fixing points
• Installation of the new tap (kitchen sink, basin, bath, utility)
• Connection to existing pipework using suitable fittings
• Replacement of worn flexible tails, isolation valves, or washers where needed
• Sealing and securing the tap to prevent movement and leaks
• Leak testing, flow checks, and basic function checks (hot, cold, mixer)
• Clean, tidy handover with guidance on operation and care

When this service is the right fit

Book a tap replacement if your current tap is dripping, stiff to turn, loose at the base, or showing corrosion. It is also ideal when you are upgrading to a different style or finish, or replacing a tap during a small refresh rather than a full refurbishment. For landlords and small commercial premises, it helps reduce callouts by dealing with minor leaks early.

How the work is carried out

The supply is isolated, then the existing tap is removed with care to avoid damage to the basin or worktop. The new tap is fitted and aligned, connections are made using the correct fittings, and any perished connectors are renewed where necessary. Finally, the system is brought back up, checked for leaks, and tested under normal use.

After installation

You will be shown that the tap is operating correctly and that all joints are dry. If any issues are found with isolation valves, pipework, or access that could affect the fitting, you will get clear options before any additional work goes ahead. If you notice any weeping after the first few uses, it is best to report it promptly so it can be adjusted before it develops into a leak.
