Tap Repair & Replacement in Ealing

A tap that won't turn off is a small emergency; a tap that drips is a slow one. Either way, our Ealing engineers arrive with cartridges, washers, O-rings and flexible connectors on the van.

Repairs: washers, cartridges and seals

Diagnosis by symptom: a steady drip from the spout is a washer (compression taps) or cartridge (ceramic disc); leakage around the base of a swivel spout is O-rings; a handle that turns without resistance is a stripped head or spline; banging pipes when the tap closes is water hammer, cured with an arrestor or pressure adjustment rather than a new tap. Each is a stocked-part fix for our Ealing engineers. Ealing's hard supply keeps limescale steadily accumulating in cylinders, kettles and shower heads across the borough — a background factor in most hot-water complaints we attend here.

Replacement done properly

When we replace a tap in Ealing, isolation valves go in as standard if there are none — future repairs then take minutes and no draining down. Old flexis are replaced rather than reused, back-nuts get proper tools rather than swearing, and monoblocs are stabilised with the correct fixing kit so the tap doesn't work loose in a month. You can supply your own tap or choose from ranges we stock.

The real cost of a drip

One drip per second is roughly 5,500 litres a year — on a metered Ealing supply, that's paid for twice, as water and as sewerage. Hot taps are worse: every drip carries heating cost too. A £65 repair typically pays for itself within months on a metered hot tap, before counting the staining and scale damage to the sink below.

Tap work pricing in Ealing

If your existing tap is obsolete and a repair means hunting discontinued cartridges, we'll tell you the honest economics up front.
