Tap repairs and tap fitting in London
Silver Saints replace and repair kitchen and bathroom taps across London. Dripping taps, stiff taps, mixer and monobloc swaps, and isolation valves.
Experienced handymen we know, not an app of anonymous bidders.
Plus parts. No call-out fee. Saturday at the weekday rate. A like-for-like tap swap is usually £60 to £120 plus VAT.
What we do
A tap is a small job that goes wrong in a predictable way: the washer or cartridge wears, or London scale seizes the works. The awkward part is usually the old back nut under the sink, not the new tap.
Replace a kitchen or bathroom tap
Old tap out, new tap in, with fresh connectors rather than the tired ones.
Cure a dripping tap
A worn washer or ceramic cartridge, which is the cheapest plumbing job there is.
Fit a mixer or monobloc tap
A single tap replacing two, which needs the right connectors to work properly.
Replace washers and cartridges
Matched to the tap, so a quarter-turn stays a quarter-turn.
Free a stiff or seized tap
Scaled-up spindles and cartridges, which is London hard water at work.
Fit a tap after a new worktop
A new basin or worktop needs the tap set and sealed properly, not just tightened.
Sort low flow at one tap
Usually a blocked aerator or a part-closed isolation valve, checked before anything else.
Replace isolation valves
So the next repair does not mean turning the whole flat off at the stopcock.
Fit a filtered or boiling-water tap
Quoted on the day, because the unit and the connections under the sink vary.
We work on pillar, mixer, monobloc and quarter-turn taps, ceramic cartridges and traditional washers, flexible tap connectors, isolation valves and back nuts, on kitchen and bathroom supplies, and on filtered and boiling-water taps.
Different job? For a leak under the sink or in the pipework see sourcing and curing leaks, for a sink that will not drain see unblocking sinks, and for failed sealant round the sink see resealing basins and sinks.
What it costs
Labour only, charged by time, plus parts. Access under the sink and how well the old fittings come apart set the time, not the tap itself.
Where we cover
We cover all London boroughs plus the TW, KT, CR and BR postcode areas. London hard water scales up cartridges and aerators faster than almost anywhere in the country, which is why taps here stiffen and drip early. Engineers cross central London by motorcycle and scooter, which means faster arrival and easier parking.
Landlords and letting agents
A dripping tap is a small repair with a running water bill attached, and one of the quickest tenant complaints to close out.
Fitting isolation valves at the same visit means the next repair does not mean turning the whole flat off, which saves a visit later.
Account invoicing and pre-approved spend limits are set out on our landlord services page.
Buying the tap
Most people buy their own tap, which is fine. Tell us the make and model when you book, or we can supply one and the cost goes on the invoice.
Two things worth checking before you buy: whether your sink has one tap hole or two, and whether the supply is mains pressure or gravity fed from a tank, because not every tap works on both.
Tap and water-fitting work meets the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, so fittings are installed in a way that cannot allow backflow into the mains.
Why Silver Saints
We are a managed service, not a bidding app: every Saint is a vetted professional we know personally, not a login on a marketplace.
Tap fitting FAQs
How much does it cost to fit a tap in London?
Charged by time at £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes and £30 plus VAT thereafter, plus parts. A like-for-like swap is usually £60 to £120 plus VAT.
Can you fit my tap today in London?
Often yes. Silver Saints usually has same or next day slots for tap fitting in London, and every booking carries a one-hour arrival window.
Why does my tap keep dripping?
A worn washer or a scaled ceramic cartridge. Silver Saints replaces it with the matched part, which is the cheapest plumbing repair there is.
Do I need to buy the tap myself?
You can, and most people do. Tell us the make and model when you book, or we can supply one and the cost goes on the invoice.
Why is my tap stiff to turn?
Scale has built up on the spindle or cartridge, which is normal in London water. Silver Saints frees it off or replaces the cartridge.
Only one tap has low pressure. Why?
Usually a blocked aerator or a part-closed isolation valve. Silver Saints checks both before looking any further down the pipework.
Are you a job-board app like the marketplaces?
We are not a job-board app. Unlike marketplaces that match your job to the cheapest available bidder, Silver Saints contracts its own team of experienced, vetted, multi-skilled tradespeople, people we know personally and work with directly. From booking to billing, you get one accountable service and a real relationship, not an anonymous login from a gig-economy pool.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Silver Saints gives a 12-month guarantee on labour and on parts we supply for tap fitting in London, against faulty workmanship or failed parts.
