FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can your Manchester technicians replace?
Our certified plumbers can replace a full spectrum of residential and light-commercial fixtures, including kitchen and bathroom taps, sinks, basins, toilets, close-coupled and back-to-wall WCs, bidets, showers, bathtubs, shower valves, thermostatic mixers, exterior garden taps, utility-room faucets, washing-machine valves, and waste disposal units. We also handle more specialised items such as water-saving dual-flush cisterns, touchless sensor taps, instant-hot-water taps, filtered-water faucets, and ADA-compliant fixtures. If the fixture is connected to your water supply or waste system, chances are we can supply and install a compatible replacement quickly and safely.
How do I know if my plumbing fixture needs replacing rather than repairing?
Several indicators point toward full replacement: persistent leaks or drips after multiple repairs, visible corrosion or pitting on metal parts, cracked ceramic or porcelain, low water pressure caused by internal blockage, outdated single-flush toilets that waste water, and fixtures that no longer meet current building or water-efficiency regulations. In addition, if spare parts for your model are discontinued or the repair cost exceeds 50–60 % of the price of a new fixture, replacement is usually the most economical and reliable option. Our technicians can perform an on-site assessment in Manchester, explain the findings, and give you a clear repair-vs-replace recommendation before any work begins.
What is the typical process and timeframe for a fixture replacement appointment?
1) Booking: Call, email, or use our online form to request a convenient time. Same-day and next-day slots are often available across Greater Manchester. 2) Assessment & Quote: On arrival we isolate the water supply, inspect the existing installation, confirm compatibility of the new fixture, and give you a fixed, no-obligation quote. 3) Removal: We drain residual water, disconnect supply lines and wastes, and safely remove the old fixture while protecting surrounding surfaces. 4) Installation: The new fixture is positioned, levelled, connected with new seals and WRAS-approved hoses or pipes, and tested under working pressure. 5) Cleanup & Handover: We dispose of the old unit responsibly, wipe down the area, and walk you through the operation and maintenance of your new fixture. Most standard replacements—such as a basin tap or a close-coupled toilet—take 1–2 hours. Complex jobs (e.g., concealed shower valves) may take half a day.
Are the replacement fixtures you supply energy and water efficient?
Yes. We are committed to sustainability and stock fixtures that carry Water Regulation Advisory Scheme (WRAS) approval and, where applicable, Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS) ratings. Dual-flush toilets, aerated or flow-restricted taps, and thermostatic shower mixers can cut household water use by up to 40 %. We can also supply fixtures with integrated smart sensors that automatically shut off flow when not in use. During the quote we present several options, explain the projected savings on utility bills, and help you choose a model that balances efficiency, performance, and aesthetics.
How much does a plumbing fixture replacement cost in Manchester and what factors influence the price?
Prices start from £89 + VAT for a straightforward like-for-like tap swap and range upward depending on: • Type of fixture (toilet vs. tap vs. shower valve) • Quality/brand of the new unit • Whether pipework or tiles need modification • Accessibility (e.g., wall-hung or concealed installations) • Disposal fees for old fixtures (included in most quotes) We provide fixed, transparent quotations before any work begins, so there are no hidden surprises. We also offer package pricing for multiple fixture replacements carried out in a single visit.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on your workmanship and the fixtures installed?
Absolutely. All labour is covered by our 12-month workmanship guarantee, meaning we will return free of charge to rectify any installation-related issue. Most manufacturers provide separate product warranties ranging from 2 to 15 years; we register these on your behalf and supply the documentation. Because we are fully insured and follow UK Building Regulations and Manchester Water Byelaws, you have complete peace of mind that the installation is safe, compliant, and protected long-term.
