Tap repair enquiries in Edinburgh for dripping outlets, stiff controls, mixer faults, poor tap flow and leaks beneath tap fittings.
Service details
Tap and mixer repairs covers basin, bath and kitchen taps, including mixer taps. Shower controls, hoses, heads, trays and shower wastes belong under shower repairs, keeping the two fixture types and their access questions distinct.
What to know
A drip from the spout while closed differs from water at the base only during use or a leak beneath the basin. Note whether the issue affects hot, cold or both, whether the tap closes fully and whether the symptom began after another fitting was changed.
Useful details
Record whether the fitting is a pillar tap, monobloc mixer, wall-mounted tap or another visible arrangement. A make or model, number of tap holes and accessible isolation valves can help with the parts and access discussion. Do not remove cartridges or decorative covers solely to gather information.
Next step
A serviceable tap with an identifiable compatible part presents a different decision from a corroded body, damaged finish, obsolete component or planned style change. Any replacement also has to suit the existing holes, water connections, pressure arrangement and available working space.
Scope
Poor flow at one tap may be local to that outlet; a property-wide change belongs under water pressure problems. Water leaking only as the basin drains belongs under taps, sinks and wastes. Shower-only temperature or control faults belong under shower repairs.
Service details
Include the room, tap type, affected side, leak position, flow change, visible connection arrangement and whether isolation controls are known. Mention any cabinet, bath panel or fixed unit that limits access beneath the fitting.

No. Tap and mixer repairs covers basin, bath and kitchen taps. Choose shower repairs for shower controls, hoses, heads, trays and wastes.
No. Tap mechanisms vary and may use washers, cartridges, ceramic components or other parts. The fitting type and compatible component need to be identified first.
The source may be around the tap body, base, tails, nearby seal or waste area. Describe the exact position rather than assuming it is the same fault as a closed-tap drip.
First check the visible mounting arrangement, connections, space, intended use and any product requirements. A chosen fitting may not match the existing installation.
Use water pressure problems when several outlets are affected. Keep this page for flow that is isolated to one tap or tap assembly.
Share the symptom, area, access notes and contact details so the plumbing issue can be assessed clearly.
