I carry a variety of standard tap cartridges in my van, including a pair of kitchen and basin taps in case replacement is necessary. I am also happy to fit taps that you supply. Usually if your tap is 5+years old i would recommend replacement of the tap/s. ( I do not fit Bristan Easy-Fit taps)

Replacing a kitchen tap is usually about an hour’s job, but it can take longer if there isn’t enough access to the fixings underneath the sink . In some instances the hot and cold water pipework to the tap needs to be altered slightly to suit the new tap connectors.  If your existing tap has developed a drip, but is overall in good condition, it probably just needs a new pair of ceramic disc valves (for quarter turn taps), or just a new pair of washers.

Tap valves
Tap valves, especially the ceramic disc type, come in many different sizes, and vary in price from about £10 to £60 per pair.

Bath Taps
If you want to replace your bath taps it is probably best if you choose your own before my visit. I usually carry a few tap reviver sets with me, which would normally fit standard bath mixer tap models if only repair is required.

Garden Taps
If you would like a new garden tap installed, it is usually easiest to install it on the wall just outside your kitchen sink. This typically takes about 2 hours labour, plus about £50 for parts including the tap, the backplate, an isolating valve, a non-return valve and a short length of copper pipe. Installation in other locations is likely to take longer. It is also best to avoid running pipework along an outside wall where it will be exposed to frost in the winter. I always carry spare garden taps in case your existing one needs replacing.
