What this service covers

- Renewal of flexi hoses and backnut connections
- Isolation valve replacement when taps cannot be serviced safely
- Matching rough tap centres and hole configurations on replacement
What the work typically involves
- Send a photo of the tap and note whether it is a mixer or pillar design — it helps us prepare likely parts.
- We arrange a visit, inspect the tap and isolation, and confirm repair or replacement options.
- You agree the approach; we shut off the supply locally where possible.
- The repair or new tap is fitted and tested for leaks and smooth operation.
- Old taps and packaging are removed from the work area unless you prefer to keep them.
Repair or replacement?
Traditional pillar taps often remain economical to service. Many modern monoblocs rely on proprietary cartridges; when cartridges are discontinued or the body is cracked, replacement is usually sensible.
Practical benefits
- Experience with both repairable and cartridge-style mixers
- Neat finishes around basins and sinks after tap changes
- Checks on supply pressure that may affect mixer performance
- Practical tap choices for hard-water areas common in Cheshire
- Can coordinate with wider kitchen or bathroom plumbing work
