FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Harrogate home?
We replace a full range of fixtures, including kitchen and bathroom taps, shower valves and heads, toilets, bidets, kitchen sinks, bath tubs, and utility room faucets. We also handle speciality items such as instant-hot taps, filtered water taps, outside bib taps, and eco-flush cisterns. All replacements are carried out to current UK Water Regulations and local North Yorkshire Building Control requirements.
Which brands do you use or recommend for fixture replacements?
We work only with trusted, WRAS-approved brands such as Grohe, Bristan, Hansgrohe, Ideal Standard, Villeroy & Boch, Franke, and Mira. These manufacturers offer proven reliability, readily available spare parts, and multi-year warranties. By fitting reputable brands we reduce the risk of future leaks, ensure better water efficiency, and make maintenance easier because parts are stocked locally in Harrogate plumbing merchants.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture jobs—such as swapping a basin tap or replacing a close-coupled toilet—take 1–2 hours. More involved projects like fitting a thermostatic shower mixer or undermount sink can take 3–4 hours due to extra pipework and sealing time. We schedule more complex bathroom refits over one to two days to allow for curing of sealants and full operational testing. Before starting, we give you a written time estimate so you can plan around any water shutdowns.
Do you guarantee the work and the parts you install?
Yes. All labour carries our standard 12-month workmanship guarantee. In addition, the fixtures themselves are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which ranges from 5 years on most taps to lifetime coverage on certain stainless-steel sinks. Should a fault occur within these periods, we will liaise with the manufacturer, supply any necessary documentation, and return to site to rectify the issue at no extra charge.
Can upgrading fixtures really lower my water and energy bills?
Absolutely. Modern dual-flush toilets use as little as 4 litres per reduced flush versus 13 litres on many pre-1990 models. Aerated mixer taps and thermostatic shower valves can cut water usage by 30–50 % while maintaining pressure and comfort. Lower hot-water demand also means your boiler or immersion heater runs less, saving energy. During our survey we highlight high-efficiency options and estimate potential annual savings for your household.
