FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Manchester property?
Our team can remove and install virtually any domestic or light-commercial plumbing fixture, including kitchen and basin taps, mixer and thermostatic showers, toilets, dual-flush cisterns, vanity basins, utility sinks, bidets, shower trays, baths, macerators and even outdoor taps. If water flows through it, we can replace it.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take, and will my water be turned off all day?
Most single-fixture swaps take 1–3 hours. Your main water supply is usually isolated only during the disconnection and reconnection phase—typically 20–40 minutes—so disruption is kept to a minimum. Complex jobs (e.g., moving pipework or installing a concealed shower valve) may extend to half a day, but we’ll give you a time estimate in advance so you can plan around it.
Do you supply the fixtures or can I provide my own?
We’re happy to do either. We carry a catalogue of WRAS-approved, UK-sourced fixtures from trusted brands that we can supply at trade prices, complete with full manufacturer warranties. If you’ve already purchased a tap, toilet, or any other item that meets UK standards, we’re equally happy to install it—just have it on site when we arrive so we can check all fittings and adaptors before starting work.
How much does a fixture replacement cost and what affects the price?
Prices start from about £95 for a like-for-like tap change and range up to £450+ for larger items such as a free-standing bath with new waste and filler. Factors that influence cost include: • Whether pipework needs rerouting or upgrading • Accessibility of shut-off valves • Removal/disposal of old units • Quality/brand of the new fixture • Any remedial carpentry, tiling or plaster repairs. We provide fixed written quotes after an on-site assessment, so there are no hidden extras.
What warranties or guarantees do you offer on fixture replacements?
All workmanship is covered by our 12-month labour guarantee. If a leak or installation fault occurs within that period, we’ll return and rectify it free of charge. In addition, the fixtures we supply carry manufacturer warranties that range from 2 years to lifetime cover, depending on the brand. We handle all paperwork and, if needed, liaise with the manufacturer on your behalf.
Will upgrading my fixtures help me save water and comply with UK regulations?
Yes. Modern taps and toilets incorporate flow restrictors, aerators and dual-flush mechanisms that can cut water usage by up to 50 %. We only install WRAS-approved products that meet Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, ensuring compliance throughout Greater Manchester. Lower water consumption not only reduces your bill but also supports local sustainability initiatives and may boost your property’s EPC rating.
