Tap Repairs
A leaking or faulty tap may seem like a small issue, but it can waste significant amounts of water, increase your water bills and become increasingly difficult to use over time.
Many tap problems can be repaired without replacing the entire fixture.
Common tap issues include:
-
Constant dripping
-
Leaking around the spindle
-
Stiff handles
-
Loose tap handles
-
Low water flow
-
Water hammer
-
Noisy taps
-
Difficult operation
-
Worn washers
-
Failed ceramic cartridges
-
Damaged seals and O-rings
Our plumbers will inspect your tapware and determine whether repair is the most economical option or whether replacement will provide better long-term value.
Tap Replacements
Sometimes repair isn't the best solution.
Older tapware can become unreliable due to worn internal components, corrosion or discontinued replacement parts. Replacing ageing tapware often improves reliability while giving your kitchen, bathroom or commercial space an updated appearance.
We can replace:

-
Pillar taps
-
Quarter-turn taps
-
Traditional washer taps

Sensor taps
