FAQs

What are modern mixer taps and how do they differ from traditional taps?

Modern mixer taps combine hot and cold water inside a single spout, allowing you to set your ideal temperature with one lever or pair of handles. Traditional pillar taps keep hot and cold separate. Mixer taps give you finer temperature control, sleeker aesthetics, and often include water-saving and anti-scald technology, making them a popular upgrade for Bristol homes.

Can my existing plumbing in Bristol support a new mixer tap, or will I need pipework alterations?

Most Bristol properties with standard 15 mm copper or plastic supply pipes can accept modern mixer taps without major alteration. We inspect your current pipework, water pressure, and isolation valves. If pressure is low or the tap requires larger feeds, we may recommend simple upgrades such as flexible hoses or pressure-boosting solutions rather than full pipe replacement.

How long does a typical mixer tap replacement take?

A straightforward like-for-like swap usually takes 45–90 minutes, including draining down, removing the old tap, installing the new one, and testing for leaks. If we need to reposition pipework, install isolation valves, or cut a new hole in a worktop or sink, the job can extend to 2–3 hours. We’ll give you a precise time estimate when we see the site.

Do you supply the mixer taps, or can I provide my own?

We’re happy to do either. We stock a curated range of reliable, WRAS-approved mixer taps from leading brands—including options with pull-out sprays and water-saving aerators—so you get full manufacturer warranties. If you’ve bought a tap yourself, we’ll check that it complies with UK regulations and fits your basin or sink before installation.

What guarantees do you offer on mixer tap installations?

All our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, and most manufacturer warranties on the taps themselves run for 5–10 years. Should a fault occur within our workmanship guarantee period, we’ll return to your Bristol property free of charge to rectify it. Manufacturer defects are handled under warranty, and we’re happy to assist with any claim paperwork.

How much does it cost to replace a mixer tap in Bristol?

Pricing depends on the tap model and site conditions, but typical costs range from £90–£130 for labour on a standard replacement, plus the cost of the tap (£40–£180 on average). Additional parts such as flexible tails, isolation valves, or waste kits may add £5–£25. We provide a fixed, no-obligation quote after assessing your specific requirements.
