FAQs
What are the most common reasons taps start leaking?
Leaky taps are usually caused by worn-out rubber washers, deteriorated ceramic cartridges, loose O-rings, or corrosion on the valve seat. High water pressure and mineral build-up from Harrogate’s hard water can accelerate wear. Our plumbers identify the exact fault during an on-site inspection so we repair or replace only the parts that need attention.
How quickly can you attend a leaking tap in Harrogate?
For urgent leaks we offer same-day call-outs across Harrogate and surrounding villages. When you call before 1 pm, a qualified plumber will normally arrive within 2–4 hours. Non-emergency bookings can be scheduled for any convenient morning, afternoon, or early-evening slot, including Saturdays.
Should I repair my existing tap or replace it entirely?
If the body of the tap is in good condition and replacement parts are available, repairing it is usually the most cost-effective option. However, if the finish is badly pitted, the internal threads are stripped, or parts are obsolete, a full replacement is recommended. We always provide both prices upfront so you can make an informed choice.
What plumbing fixtures can you replace besides taps?
Our engineers install and replace kitchen and bathroom taps, mixer valves, shower heads, thermostatic shower cartridges, toilets, cisterns, basins, kitchen sinks, outside bib taps, and isolation valves. We can also fit water-saving aerators and filter taps on request.
How much does it cost to repair or replace a leaking tap in Harrogate?
A straightforward washer or cartridge replacement starts from £69 including parts and labour. Full tap replacements (labour only) range from £85–£110, depending on access and pipework modifications. We carry a selection of mid-range taps on the van, or we’re happy to fit a model you supply. All prices are confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Are your plumbers qualified and is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our engineers are City & Guilds qualified, fully insured, and DBS-checked. We are members of the Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering (CIPHE). Every repair or installation comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee and manufacturers’ warranties on any new fixtures supplied.
