Faucet & tap repair, with a clear plan.
Faucet problems range from worn internal parts to leaks beneath the fixture. Note whether the leak occurs at the spout, around the handle, or below the sink. The brand and model, if available, can help determine whether suitable repair parts can be sourced.
- Dripping kitchen and bathroom taps
- Cartridge and handle issues
- Replacement faucet installation
- Visible fixture supply leaks
Repair a familiar fixture
A cartridge, seal, or other serviceable part may resolve a local fault. Parts availability and the condition of the fixture matter. If the faucet body is damaged or repairs keep recurring, replacement may offer a more practical route.
Choose a faucet that fits
Check the sink or countertop hole arrangement, clearance behind the faucet, and supply connections. A tall spout can be useful, but it needs to work with the basin to avoid splashing. Discuss pull-out hoses, handle reach, and cleaning access before choosing a model.
Look beneath the sink too
A faucet visit is an opportunity to assess the visible supply connections and shutoff valves. Mention dampness in the cabinet, low flow affecting one tap, or a valve that will not turn. Do not force a stuck shutoff valve.
Your questions, answered.
Do I need to buy the faucet first?
It is better to confirm fit and installation requirements before buying, particularly when changing the mounting style.
Why is only one faucet flowing slowly?
A fixture-specific restriction may be involved, but the supply and faucet need to be assessed to identify the cause.
