Common Causes of Leaking Taps

A leaking tap isn’t just a random inconvenience—a worn or faulty component usually causes it. Here’s what might be behind that drip:

• Worn-out washers: The rubber washer inside your tap wears down over time, leading to leaks.
• Faulty O-rings: A small rubber ring seals the tap handle—when it wears out, you’ll notice leaks around the base.
• Damaged cartridges or valves: Mixer taps rely on ceramic cartridges that can become worn or clogged.
• Corrosion or mineral buildup: Hard water deposits can damage tap components and lead to leaks.
• High water pressure: Excessive pressure can weaken seals and washers, causing persistent dripping.

Common Leaking Tap Problems (and How We Fix Them!)

Dripping Taps That Won’t Stop

A tap that won’t stop dripping is likely caused by a worn washer, faulty cartridge, or high water pressure. We start by carefully dismantling the tap and inspecting each component for wear and damage. If the washer or cartridge is the culprit, we replace it with a high-quality, durable part that ensures long-lasting performance. If high water pressure contributes to the issue, we assess the pressure levels and, if necessary, install a pressure-reducing valve to prevent future damage.

Leaks Around the Base of the Tap

If water is pooling around the bottom of your tap, the O-ring or seal might be damaged. Our team removes the tap handle and spout to access and replace the faulty O-ring or seal, ensuring a watertight fit. We also clean and descale any corrosion or mineral build-up contributing to the leak, restoring your tap to like-new condition

Hard-to-Turn Taps

If your tap handle is stiff or difficult to turn, it’s often due to worn-out internal components or accumulated debris. We dismantle the tap, clean the internal mechanisms, and apply high-quality lubrication to ensure smooth operation. We replace the spindle, washers, or ceramic discs if necessary to restore effortless functionality.

Noisy Taps (Whistling, Squeaking, or Banging Sounds)

Strange noises from your tap can be caused by air trapped in the pipes, worn-out components, or fluctuating water pressure. We conduct a thorough inspection of your plumbing system to identify the cause. If air is trapped, we purge the system to restore proper water flow. We replace any faulty or worn-out parts. If a water hammer is an issue, we install anti-hammer valves or adjust the pressure settings to prevent damage.

Sudden Water Pressure Drops

If your tap suddenly loses pressure, it could be due to a blockage, a faulty valve, or a more serious issue with your plumbing system. Our team conducts a detailed pressure test and uses diagnostic tools to locate blockages or restrictions. We clear any obstructions, replace malfunctioning valves, and check your main water supply to ensure consistent, reliable pressure throughout your home.
