A dripping tap is more than an annoyance—it wastes hundreds of litres of clean water and leaves unsightly limescale marks over time. When you need dripping tap repair, our engineers diagnose the root cause quickly and cleanly.
Most drips stem from a worn washer, a failing ceramic disc cartridge, or a scaled valve seat. Calling an experienced leaking tap plumber means we can stop a leaking tap promptly without needing a full fixture replacement.
Cartridge, Washer and Valve Replacement
For conventional compression units, a straightforward tap washer replacement and valve re-seating offers a swift, highly cost-effective fix. Repairing the internal components is far quicker and more practical than installing an entirely new tap.
In modern quarter-turn brassware, precision ceramic discs control water flow. Arranging a tap cartridge replacement restores smooth lever control and halts stubborn drips instantly, keeping your original tap body intact.
Kitchen and Bathroom Tap Fitting
When internal corrosion or heavy limescale damage makes repair impractical, replacing the fixture is the cleanest choice. We carry out seamless kitchen tap installation and full kitchen tap replacement with precise pipe alignment.
Our tap replacement service also pairs naturally with new sink installation or general bathroom and kitchen renovations, giving your home updated styling with reliable water control.
Shower valves operate under similar principles to sink taps and form a core part of our everyday repairs. We replace failed shower mixer cartridge units inside concealed thermostatic valves when temperature fluctuates or water refuses to shut off.
Whether you require a full shower valve replacement or an internal seal overhaul, our plumbers restore accurate temperature control and end hidden enclosure leaks without unnecessary disruption.

Practical advice and clear information regarding our tap, mixer, and thermostatic shower valve repair services across London.
How do I know if it's the tap or the mixer that's faulty?
Standard taps control hot and cold supplies separately, whereas mixer taps combine water feeds within a single housing. If water cross-bleeds between lines or temperature control fails, the internal mixer cartridge or non-return valve is faulty rather than your pipework.
Do you fit customer-supplied taps and fixtures?
Yes, we regularly install kitchen taps, bathroom mixer units, and shower valves supplied directly by customers, provided the items meet UK plumbing dimensions and current water regulation standards.
Is a dripping tap worth fixing or should I replace the whole tap?
Why does my tap keep leaking after a washer change?
Can a shower valve be repaired without removing tiles?
In most cases, replacing internal parts such as ceramic disc cartridges, washers, or seals restores full function at a fraction of the replacement cost. If the main tap body is severely corroded or obsolete, fitting a replacement is the better long-term choice.
If a drip continues after changing a washer, the brass valve seat beneath it may be pitted or corroded, preventing a watertight seal. Modern taps often rely on ceramic disc cartridges rather than traditional washers, requiring a cartridge replacement instead.
Yes, standard recessed thermostatic shower valves are designed for front access. Thermostatic cartridges, check valves, and internal seals can usually be serviced or replaced directly through the decorative wall plate without disturbing surrounding bathroom tiles.
