About this service
Dripping tap repair in Kingston upon Thames
A tap that drips once a second wastes over 5,000 litres a year, and if it's the hot tap, you're paying to heat that water too. Most drips are a worn washer or a scaled ceramic cartridge — a straightforward, inexpensive fix.
We also fit new taps, including boiling-water and filtered taps, with the isolation valves and fused spur done properly the first time.
Dripping and leaking taps
A drip from the spout is the washer or cartridge. Water around the base or handle is a worn O-ring or gland. A tap that is stiff or will not turn off fully is usually scale. All three are repairs, not replacements, on a decent tap.
Kitchen and bathroom tap replacement
We remove the old tap, fit isolation valves if there are none, and install the new one so it is solid on the sink or basin. Mixer, pillar, monobloc, wall-mounted and bath-shower mixer taps are all covered.
Outside tap installation
A garden tap fitted with its own isolation valve and a double check valve to protect your drinking water, and positioned so it can be drained down in winter.

Frequently asked
Tap repair and installation FAQs
Is it worth repairing my tap or should I replace it?
If the tap body's solid and it's a decent brand, repair is usually cheaper and quick. If it's a budget mixer with an unobtainable cartridge, or the base itself is weeping, replacement is often the better spend — we'll tell you which applies honestly.
Will you fit a tap I bought myself?
Yes. Send us the make and model or a photo first so we can check it suits your water pressure and the holes in your sink or basin.
Can you fit an outside tap?
Yes. We fit it with an isolation valve inside and a double check valve, which the water regulations require, so it can be shut off and drained before winter.
Why has my tap lost pressure?
Usually a scaled-up aerator on the spout or a blocked cartridge. If every tap in the house is weak, see our low water pressure page.
