Tapware Repairs Melton: Common Problems We Handle
-
A Tap That Keeps Dripping
A tap that drips even after it has been fully turned off is losing water continuously. In most cases, this points to a worn washer or seal that needs replacing. We repair the internal components to stop the leak.
-
Water Leaking Around the Tap
If water pools around the base of a tap or seeps from where the tap meets the bench or wall, the seal or connection has failed. We locate the source of the leak and repair it.
-
A Tap That Is Hard to Turn
A tap that requires significant force to open or close has an internal problem, usually a worn spindle, seized cartridge or build-up of mineral deposits. Our Melton plumbers will repair or replace the component causing the stiffness.
-
A Loose or Wobbly Tap
A tap that moves when you use it has not been fitted correctly or has worked itself loose over time. We secure the fitting and check the connection to stop movement.
-
A Mixer With Poor Temperature Control
A mixer tap that no longer delivers a consistent or controllable water temperature has a cartridge problem. We replace the cartridge to restore proper hot and cold water mixing.
-
Damaged or Worn Tapware
Tapware that is cracked, corroded or visibly deteriorating needs attention. We assess whether a repair is practical or whether replacement is the right call, and we explain the options to you before proceeding.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Tapware?
The right option depends on the condition of the existing fitting and the nature of the problem.
When Your Tap Can Be Repaired
A repair is the right call when:
- The tap body and structure are in good condition
- The problem is isolated to a single replaceable part
In these situations, replacing the internal components resolves the issue and returns the tap to full working order without the need to replace the entire fitting.
When Replacement Is the Better Option
Replacement makes more sense when:
- The tapware is physically damaged or cracked
- Components are corroded beyond repair
- The fitting is so heavily worn that another repair is unlikely to hold
Not sure which option you need? Our plumber can inspect the tapware and explain the best solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which tapware is suitable for my sink?
The right tapware depends on the sink design, the existing plumbing connections and how much space is available for installation. We can assess these factors and help you choose an option that fits your setup and meets your needs.
Can you replace my old taps with mixer taps?
Yes. We can replace existing taps with mixer taps. Our plumbers will check the existing setup first to confirm the mixer tap is compatible with the plumbing and installation points.
Can you install tapware I have already purchased?
Yes, if the tapware is suitable for your existing setup and is appropriate for installation. We can inspect the product and plumbing connections before fitting it.
What happens if my plumbing connections are not suitable for the new tapware?
We will explain the issue and discuss the available options. This gives you a clear understanding of what is required to install the tapware correctly.
