Tap repair and replacement for dripping taps, mixer faults, stiff handles, leaking bases, isolation valves and hard-water wear.
These are the faults we meet most often on tap repair jobs across Brighton and nearby Sussex properties. We find the cause first, because a clear diagnosis keeps the price fair. When the work ends, we leave the area tidy.
Every tap repair visit follows the same careful routine. For example, we diagnose the fault, explain the work and agree a fixed price before we start. Because the steps stay consistent, you know what to expect.
A dripping tap wastes water around the clock. Worn washers and tired cartridges cause most drips, while stiff handles often come from scale inside the valve. Since the water in this area is hard, scale builds up faster than many owners expect.
We check the tap type, the isolation valve and the pipework underneath. Then we recommend repair or replacement, whichever gives better value. For example, a cheap cartridge swap may suit a good mixer, whereas a corroded tap needs replacing.
We test flow, shut-off and leaks before we leave. As a result, you can trust the tap again and avoid damage to the cupboard below. Request a free quote online and we will agree a fixed price first.

It depends on the tap. A good mixer often needs only a new cartridge, whereas a corroded or seized tap is better replaced. We explain both options and give you a fixed price before we begin.
