Repair of Faulty Taps.
(For replacement taps see below).
Taps can go wrong.
Some don't open properly and restrict the water flow.
Some don't close properly (or are very stiff to turn) and waste water.
One of the most common faults is a dripping tap.
There are a number of different tap designs.
Traditional Taps.
A traditional tap may be faulty
because the washer needs replacing.
The price for this is £55. (See notes on Prices).
Reseating.
Some taps will still drip after
the washer has been replaced because they need
reseating. A special tool will cut a new flat surface inside the tap which will
seal against a new washer. The price for reseating a
tap is an additional £30.
Modern Taps.
Some modern taps seal with 'O'
rings and may need to have the gland
or headgear replaced. The price for this is
£65.
This type of tap may also need reseating (see above).
Tap revivers can replace the top
part of the tap with a completely new look.
All of the internal parts will be new. If the lower part of the tap is already
in
good condition, then this is very similar to having a brand new tap.
The price for this is £85.
Ceramic Disc Taps.
This type of tap usually has a
quarter turn on / off mechanism.
If this is faulty, the cartridge can be replaced. The price
for this is £75.
Tap Replacement.
Some taps can not be repaired and
will need to be replaced.
This may be because replacement parts are not available or the tap can not
be dismantled. Alternatively, the customer may want new taps fitted to
a kitchen sink, a bath or a basin. The price for
fitting a new tap is £100.
This does not include the cost of the new tap.
New taps can be supplied or the customer can provide their own.
