A tap can drip from its outlet, leak around the body or become difficult to turn. The fault may involve washers, seals, cartridges or the fixture itself, so the repair begins with identifying the tap type and the source of the leak.
Practical repairs for everyday fixtures
Where suitable parts are available, replacing worn components can restore the existing tap. A damaged body or unsuitable fixture may make replacement more practical. We also check the accessible connections so a visible drip does not distract from a second leak beneath the basin or sink.
Problems we assess
- Dripping basin, kitchen and laundry taps
- Leaking mixer cartridges and fixture seals
- Tap replacement and connection repairs
Connections affected by earlier work
Mention any renovation or fixture replacement near the affected service. Earlier alterations can change pipe routes or access, so the visible fitting may not tell the whole story about the installation behind it.
Parts availability affects the choice
Different mixers use different internal components. A worn cartridge may be replaceable when suitable parts can be sourced, while damage to the fixture body can make replacement the more practical option.
Planning your service visit
Tell us which tap is affected and whether it leaks continuously or only while running. If a particular finish or replacement model matters, discuss that before parts are selected.
