Questions about this service
My tap drips even when fully closed. Can it be fixed?
Usually yes. A drip from a closed tap normally means a worn washer or seat, which the plumber replaces on the spot.
Should I repair or replace the tap?
If the body is cracked or the spindle threads are worn out, the plumber will suggest the new tap fitting option, priced on this page before you book.
Can more than one tap be done?
Yes. Add the additional tap option for each extra tap in the same visit.
