Domestic plumbing across London and Essex
Tap repairs and replacements in London and Essex
Dripping taps, stiff handles and leaks beneath a sink can waste water and damage surrounding cupboards. Vinnie's repairs and replaces domestic kitchen and bathroom taps across London and Essex.
Find the cause before choosing a new tap
A drip from the spout may involve a washer or cartridge, while a leak at the base or beneath the basin may come from a seal or supply connection. Describe where water appears and whether it happens when the tap is on, off or both. The make and model help identify compatible parts, especially for mixer taps.
Low flow at one tap is not necessarily the same problem as low pressure throughout the home. Let us know whether hot and cold water are both affected and whether other fittings have changed too. We check the fitting and accessible connections, then explain repair and replacement options based on their condition and parts availability.
Kitchen and bathroom tap replacements
Before fitting a new tap, the mounting holes, connections, clearance and water-supply requirements need checking. A replacement kitchen mixer must suit the sink and leave room for normal use; a basin or bath fitting also needs to match its existing mounting arrangement. Share product details if you have already selected a new tap.
Access beneath sinks and basins affects the work, particularly where cupboards or previous pipework restrict the connections. Mention any access difficulties when enquiring. Once fitted, the tap and supply connections are tested for flow, operation and leaks. For an active leak causing damage, phone rather than waiting for the contact form.
Common questions
Is repairing a dripping tap better than replacing it?
It depends on the tap's condition, the cause of the leak and whether compatible parts are available. We can discuss a washer or cartridge repair alongside replacement after inspection.
Can you fit a tap I have already bought?
Send its make and model and describe the existing sink, basin or bath. We need to check the mounting arrangement, water-supply requirements and connections before confirming suitability.
What should I do about water leaking under the sink?
Stop using the fitting if that makes the leak worse. Isolate the local water supply only if safe and the valve operates freely. Keep clear of wet electrical fittings and call for an active damaging leak.
