Hard water is a common reason taps fail in Brighton and Hove. Minerals build up inside cartridges, valves, and aerators, making mixers stiff, noisy, uneven, or slow to shut off.
Warning Signs
- A tap drips after being turned off
- A mixer handle feels stiff or gritty
- Water leaks around the base
- The isolation valve will not turn
- The flow is uneven or splutters
Some taps can be repaired with a cartridge, washer, or valve replacement. Older taps, badly corroded fittings, or inaccessible isolation valves may be better replaced.
