Tap accessory installation

Takes about 15 min

Small tap add-ons make daily life easier: an aerator that cuts splashing, a swivel extension that reaches the back of a deep kitchen sink, or a wall flange that hides a gap. A verified plumber checks the thread size on your tap, removes the old fitting if there is one, cleans scale off the threads and fits the accessory with the right washer so it does not drip.

The job starts from the price shown on this page. You buy the accessory, so take a photo of your tap spout before shopping to pick the right thread. Anything beyond a simple fit, such as a seized old aerator that has to be cut off, is agreed with you before the plumber goes ahead.

How the visit goes

  1. 1

    Check the thread

    The plumber looks at your spout and the accessory to confirm they match.

  2. 2

    Remove the old fitting

    Any old aerator or extension is unscrewed and the scale on the threads is cleaned off.

  3. 3

    Fit the accessory

    The new piece goes on with its washer, hand-tight plus a careful turn so the chrome is not marked.

  4. 4

    Run the water

    The tap is opened fully to check the spray pattern and that nothing drips at the joint.

What we need from you

  • The accessory, bought to match your tap
  • A photo or note of which tap it goes on

Questions about this service

Which accessories can be fitted?

Aerators, swivel or flexible spout extensions, wall flanges and similar add-ons that screw onto an existing tap or point.

My old aerator is stuck. Can you remove it?

Usually, yes. The scale is softened and the aerator is worked loose. If it has to be cut off, that is agreed with you first.

Do I need to buy the accessory?

Yes, please buy it before the visit. Check whether your spout has an inner or outer thread.
