Task guide
When this may be needed
- The service-yard tap drips constantly.
- The washing machine tap leaks when the machine fills.
- The tap handle has broken or spins.
- An outdoor tap has cracked in the sun.
- You need a tap with a hose connector.
What the team does
The technician shuts off the water at the meter stopcock, since bib taps rarely have their own valve. The old tap is unscrewed from the wall fitting, the thread is cleaned and sealed, and the new tap is screwed in and aligned so it points down. The water is turned back on and the tap and its joint are checked for leaks.
Included in this price
- Shutting off the water
- Removing the old tap and cleaning the thread
- Sealing and fitting the new tap
- Aligning and leak-testing
Limits & price factors
The tap is charged on top of labour. A cracked or corroded wall fitting, and pipe repairs inside the wall, are not included.
The labour price covers one standard bib tap. Old galvanised fittings in landed homes, a seized tap and a damaged wall thread take longer.
