Leaky or Dripping Taps

One of the most common reasons for tap repairs is a persistent drip or leak. While it may seem like a minor nuisance, it can result in wasted water and higher bills over time.

  • Scenario: You notice a constant dripping sound, even when the tap is tightly closed. This is often caused by worn washers, faulty cartridges, or damaged seals.

  • Why call a pro? A professional plumber can quickly diagnose the issue, replace the faulty components, and prevent water waste, saving you money and preventing further damage.

Reduced Water Pressure

If your taps are delivering weaker-than-usual water flow, it could indicate a blockage, buildup, or faulty valve.

  • Scenario: You turn on the tap, but only a weak trickle comes out, making it difficult to wash dishes or fill a basin. This could be due to mineral deposits, clogged aerators, or pipe issues.

  • Why call a pro? Drainage and plumbing experts can clean or replace the aerator, descale the tap, or repair internal blockages, restoring proper water flow.

Rusty or Corroded Taps

Over time, taps can develop rust, limescale, or corrosion, particularly in areas with hard water.

  • Scenario: You notice brownish water when you turn on the tap or see visible rust around the base or spout.

  • Why call a pro? Rust can contaminate your water and weaken the tap’s structure. A professional plumber can replace corroded taps with durable, modern fixtures, ensuring both safety and longevity.

Cracked or Damaged Tap Components

Taps are made up of multiple parts, including washers, cartridges, and handles, all of which can wear out over time.

  • Scenario: You struggle to turn the tap on or off due to a stiff or broken handle, or you notice water seeping from the base.

  • Why call a pro? A plumbing expert can replace worn components or install a new tap altogether, ensuring smooth operation and preventing leaks.

Outdated or Inefficient Taps

Old taps are often less efficient and prone to leaks, wasting both water and energy.

  • Scenario: You have outdated taps that lack water-saving features, causing higher utility bills.

  • Why call a pro? Upgrading to modern, eco-friendly taps with water-saving technology can reduce water waste and enhance the aesthetics of your kitchen or bathroom.

Strange Noises When Using Taps

If you hear squeaking, banging, or whistling sounds when you turn on your taps, it may indicate loose parts, worn washers, or water hammer issues.

  • Scenario: You turn the tap and hear a high-pitched squeal or a loud knocking noise in the pipes.

  • Why call a pro? A plumber can secure loose fittings, replace washers, or install water hammer arrestors, eliminating the noise and preventing potential pipe damage.

Constantly Running or Faulty Mixer Taps

Mixer taps, which combine hot and cold water, are prone to faulty cartridges and inconsistent temperature control.

  • Scenario: You struggle to get consistent water temperature or notice the tap continues running after being turned off.

  • Why call a pro? A professional plumber can replace the faulty cartridge or install a new mixer tap, restoring proper temperature regulation and preventing water waste.

Tap Handles That Won’t Turn Off Completely

If you find yourself struggling to fully close the tap, it could be due to worn washers, faulty valves, or damaged seats.

  • Scenario: Even after turning the tap as tightly as possible, water continues to drip or trickle out.

  • Why call a pro? A plumbing expert can replace worn washers or reseat the valve, ensuring the tap closes properly and preventing ongoing water waste.

Visible Leaks Around the Tap Base

Leaks at the base of the tap or around the connections can cause water damage to countertops, sinks, or cabinets.

  • Scenario: You notice water pooling around the base of the tap after use.

  • Why call a pro? A plumber can reseal the base, tighten fittings, or replace worn O-rings to stop the leak and prevent further damage.

Renovations or Style Upgrades

If you’re renovating your kitchen or bathroom, replacing old taps with sleek, modern fixtures can give the space a stylish, refreshed look.

  • Scenario: You want to upgrade to touchless taps, waterfall spouts, or designer fittings to enhance your space.

  • Why call a pro? A professional plumber can install high-quality, stylish taps that suit your design preferences while ensuring flawless functionality.

Tap Repairs for Businesses

For commercial properties, well-functioning taps are essential for maintaining hygiene and efficiency.

  • Scenario: In a restaurant, a faulty kitchen tap slows down operations, or in an office, dripping taps lead to wasted water and increased bills.

  • Why call a pro? Plumbing specialists can repair or replace taps quickly, minimizing downtime and ensuring your business runs smoothly.

Preventative Maintenance and Inspections

Regular maintenance of taps helps prevent leaks, corrosion, and costly repairs down the line.

  • Scenario: Even if you’re not experiencing any obvious issues, you want to ensure your plumbing system is in top shape.

  • Why call a pro? A plumber can inspect, clean, and service your taps, identifying and addressing minor issues before they become major problems.
