FAQs
What types of kitchen taps can you install or replace?
Our engineers work with every common kitchen tap style found in Bristol homes and businesses, including monobloc mixer taps, pillar taps, pull-out spray taps, boiling-water taps and filtered-water taps. We can also fit specialist finishes such as brushed brass or matte black. If your sink or worktop needs additional holes drilling or blanking plates fitting, we’ll handle that as part of the service.
How long does a kitchen tap replacement typically take?
A straightforward like-for-like swap normally takes 45-60 minutes, including isolation, removal, cleaning the sink aperture, fitting the new tap, reconnecting pipework and pressure testing. If pipework needs to be re-routed, valves added or the old tap is badly seized, allow up to two hours. We always confirm the expected time on arrival so you know exactly how long we’ll be on site.
Do I need to supply the new tap or can you provide it?
Either option works. Many customers order their preferred tap online and simply book us to install it. If you’d rather we supply everything, we stock trusted brands such as Bristan, Grohe and Franke and can often bring the tap with us the same day. All taps we supply come with the full manufacturer warranty and our labour guarantee.
How much does it cost to replace a kitchen tap in Bristol?
For a standard replacement where valves and pipework are already in good condition, our fixed labour price is £89 + VAT. If isolation valves need fitting or pipework alterations are required, parts usually add £10-£25. We provide a clear written quote before starting and there are no hidden call-out fees inside the Bristol city and BS-postcode area.
Are you qualified and insured to work on kitchen plumbing?
Yes. Our plumbers are City & Guilds qualified, WaterSafe and WIAPS registered, and carry £5 million public liability insurance. We follow the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, issue compliance certificates on request and guarantee our workmanship for 12 months.
What should I do if my new tap leaks or becomes loose after installation?
Every installation is pressure-tested before we leave, but if you notice drips or movement later simply call our office on 0117 000 1234. All labour is covered for one year, so we’ll return free of charge to re-seat fittings, tighten unions or replace faulty cartridges. In the unlikely event that the tap itself is defective, we’ll liaise with the manufacturer on your behalf to expedite a replacement.
