You Supply or I Supply?

You're welcome to buy your own tap – there's no fitting premium. Many customers like to choose their own style from B&Q, Screwfix, or online retailers.

Alternatively, I can source and supply quality taps at competitive prices. Just let me know what style you're after when you book.

💡 Top Tip:

Check your tap holes before buying! Kitchen sinks and basins have different hole sizes (usually 28mm or 35mm). Send me a photo if unsure.

Tap Questions

Usually a worn washer or O-ring (traditional taps) or a faulty ceramic cartridge (modern mixers). These are quick, inexpensive fixes.

In most cases, yes. Make sure it's compatible with your sink/basin (check hole size and type). If unsure, send me a photo before you buy.

A straightforward tap swap takes 30-45 minutes. If access is difficult (e.g., cramped under-sink space) it may take a bit longer.

“Wes repaired a leak in my kitchen promptly and efficiently and his pricing was fair and transparent. Such a relief to have found a reliable plumber!”

Kate
Google review · kitchen leak

“We had him come out twice in one week for the pipes under the sink; the second time water started leaking out of nowhere and he came out late that evening to fix it there and then. 100% your guy for the job.”

Common questions, plain answers

How much to fit a new tap?

£100 to £150 for a like-for-like swap including labour. Adding new pipework or fitting a kitchen mixer where there's only single taps is more.

Can you fit a boiling water tap (Quooker, Fohen, similar)?

Yes. They need a power supply under the sink and a dedicated cold feed. I supply and fit, or fit if you've bought one.

What about a filter tap?

Yes. 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 filter taps are straightforward to install if there's space under the sink for the filter housing.

Should I get a kitchen monobloc or two separate taps?

Modern preference is monobloc for a cleaner look and one hot-cold control. Traditional kitchens sometimes look better with two-pillar taps.
