Fixing Dripping Taps

A dripping tap wastes water and the sound is annoying. The cause is usually a worn washer or cartridge inside the tap. We replace the worn part, or the whole tap if it is past saving, so the drip stops and the tap turns smoothly again without forcing it.

Shower Valve Problems

A shower valve that will not hold a steady temperature, or swings hot and cold, usually has worn or scaled internal parts. We repair or replace the valve so your shower stays at the temperature you set. This is a common fault in hard water areas and one we deal with often.

Repair or Replace?

Whether we repair or replace comes down to the age and condition of the tap or valve. Modern cartridges are often easy to swap, while older fittings may be better replaced. We check yours and recommend the option that gives you the most reliable result for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my shower running hot and cold in Portishead?

A shower that swings between hot and cold usually has a worn or scaled thermostatic valve, or is affected by other taps being used in the house. We check the valve and your water setup, then repair or replace the parts so your Portishead shower holds a steady temperature again.

Can you stop a tap dripping without replacing it?

Often, yes. Most drips are caused by a worn washer or cartridge inside the tap, which we can replace to stop the drip. If the tap is old or corroded, a new one may be better value. We will tell you which makes sense once we have looked at it.

Do you fix outdoor and utility taps too?

Yes. As well as bathroom and kitchen taps, we repair outside taps, utility taps and stopcocks. A stiff or dripping tap anywhere in the home is worth sorting before it gets worse. Call us and we will come and repair or replace it at your Portishead property.
