Tap installation/replacement

Takes about 45 min

Bought a new pillar tap or wall-mounted tap and want it fitted properly? A verified plumber shuts the water, removes the old tap, cleans the threads on the wall point, wraps them with fresh tape and fits your new tap straight and tight. Where the tap needs a connector hose, it is attached and checked.

One tap takes about 45 minutes, starting from the price shown on this page. If the wall point is damaged, a new elbow or extension is quoted before it is fitted. Keep the new tap in its box with all its parts, and check it matches your point type, wall-mounted or deck-mounted, before the visit.

What's included

  • Old tap removed carefully
  • Wall or deck threads cleaned and retaped
  • Your new tap fitted level and tight
  • Connector hose attached where the tap needs one
  • Leak and flow test after fitting
  • 30-day warranty on the fitting

What's not included

  • The new tap, bought by you
  • A new elbow, extension or connector, quoted before fitting
  • Tile cutting or wall repair around the point

How the visit goes

  1. 1

    Check your new tap

    The plumber matches the tap to your wall or deck point and checks every part is in the box.

  2. 2

    Remove the old tap

    The water is shut off and the old tap is unscrewed without straining the wall point.

  3. 3

    Fit and seal

    Threads are cleaned and taped, and the new tap is fitted straight and tight.

  4. 4

    Test for leaks

    The supply is opened slowly and the joint is watched for any seep.

  • Access to the stopcock

Questions about this service

Will my new tap fit the old point?

Most standard taps do. The plumber checks before removing the old one, and if an extension or reducer is needed, it is quoted first.

What happens to my old tap?

It is left with you, to keep as a spare or dispose of.

Is there a warranty on the fitting?

Yes. If the fitting stops working within 30 days, we come back and fix it at no charge.
