    Tap repairs

    We carry all of the necessary tools and replacements required so your job will be done quickly with no fuss.

    Tap replacement

    Sometimes a replacement is the only option. As taps by definition come into contact with water they may eventually rust through from the inside. This is often the case with old taps which will need to be replaced, which is no problem for our experienced plumbers.

    We can install any type and brand of tap you would like, and have easy access to buying them, so let us know what you would like and we’ll fit your new taps for you.

    Tap Types

    All taps are different, kitchen, garden, laundry, garden, mixer etc. At SA Plumbing™ we are familiar with all these different types and can repair or install them all.

    Wall mounted taps

    Bath and shower taps present their own challenges. Often access to the pipework behind the wall is necessary, so tiles may have to be removed for access. We are familiar with this, so give us a call to see if this is necessary in your case.

    Mixer taps

    These are slightly different as unlike the hot and cold pipes each terminating in a tap, the pipes are linked behind the wall and the mixer tap adjusts the temperature and pressure. Mixer taps do not use the traditional inner fittings, they have a more involved cartridge system to aid control.  SA Plumbing™ can fix these taps for you assuming a replacement cartridge can be located, otherwise we can replace with a new mixer tap system.

    Basin and sink taps

    These are generally the traditional type so are straightforward to repair, but the repair needs to be as soon as possible. This is because not only will a leaking tap run up a large water bill it may also damage surrounding cupboards and floors, causing more expensive damage. We carry a full range of replacement parts so contact SA Plumbing™ before any major damage occurs, either to your home or to your wallet.

    Laundry taps

    These come in a variety of types, mixer taps, wall mounted or standard. Whatever the type SA Plumbing™ will have your laundry taps working with no drama. If they are not to far gone we will be able to repair them and give them a full service, otherwise they will need to be replaced. We have access to a broad range of new laundry taps by all the big brands so rest assured we can fit any tap style you would prefer.

    Garden taps

    These often require a full replacement as they tend not to be used as much as the taps inside the house. They have more time to rust in which case replacement is the usual option. We have a spare garden taps on hand so this is not a big issue, although if the surrounding pipework has also decayed this may also need replacing.

    Shower Heads

    As well as taps, our SA Plumbing™ taps professionals are able to repair or replace your shower roses.  We have a variety of different shower heads on tap (!) and can fit the most appropriate one in your situation.

    Quite often the shower head may become partially blocked by rust and debris from the water main and this may hinder the operation of your hot water system, particularly an instant gas hot water system. These need a certain flow rate per minute to achieve the desired temperature. In the case of a blocked shower rose this may mean the water goes cold in the middle of a shower, which is very annoying.

    A costly repair to the hot water system may not be necessary, just a simple replacement of the shower head, call SA Plumbing™ if you need help with your hot water heater.
