FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Harrogate homes and businesses?
We can replace virtually any domestic or light–commercial plumbing fixture, including kitchen and basin taps, mixer and thermostatic showers, toilets and cisterns, baths, kitchen sinks, utility sinks, bidets, macerators, outside taps and even decorative or sensor-activated faucets. If water flows through it, chances are we can remove the old unit, adapt the pipework if necessary and install a modern, efficient replacement.
How can I tell whether a fixture should be repaired or completely replaced?
Consider replacement when a fixture is (1) badly corroded or cracked, (2) leaking from multiple points, (3) over 15–20 years old and no longer compliant with current water-saving standards, (4) made of discontinued parts that are expensive or impossible to source, or (5) causing repeated call-outs that make repairs uneconomical. We are happy to inspect your taps, toilets or showers anywhere in Harrogate, give honest advice and provide separate quotes for repair versus full replacement so you can make an informed decision.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most straightforward swaps are completed the same day with minimal disruption: a basin tap usually 1 hour, a kitchen mixer tap 1–2 hours, a close-coupled toilet 2–3 hours and a shower valve 2–4 hours depending on tile removal. If floorboards need lifting, tiles require cutting, or pipework must be re-routed, we will let you know in advance and schedule the extra time. We always aim to have water restored before we leave for the day.
Can I supply my own fixtures, or do you only fit items you provide?
You are welcome to supply your own fixtures if you already have something specific in mind, have picked up a bargain or want a designer brand that we don’t normally stock. We simply ask that you send us the make, model and any sizing information beforehand so we can verify compatibility with UK pipe sizes and pressure ratings. Alternatively, we can source fixtures for you, often at trade-discounted prices, and pass on the savings. Either way, we guarantee our workmanship on the installation itself.
Will upgrading old fixtures really save water and reduce my utility bills?
Yes. Modern dual-flush toilets use as little as 4–6 litres per flush compared with 13 litres for some pre-1990 models—a potential saving of thousands of litres a year. Aerated taps and eco-shower heads cut flow rates by up to 50 % while maintaining good pressure. Over time, the reduced water and energy (for hot water) consumption lowers both your water and gas/electric bills. Many Harrogate customers recoup the cost of replacement in 2–4 years through utility savings alone.
Are you fully qualified, insured and do you offer guarantees on fixture replacements?
Absolutely. All work is carried out by City & Guilds qualified plumbers who are covered by £5 million public liability insurance. We adhere to Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and work throughout Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon and the surrounding villages. Every fixture replacement comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee, and most manufacturer parts carry warranties of 5–10 years. Should any problem arise during the guarantee period, simply give us a call and we will rectify it promptly at no extra cost.
