A leaking, damaged or faulty tap can quickly become more than a minor annoyance. Constant dripping wastes water, worn components can reduce water pressure, and damaged fittings may eventually lead to leaks around sinks, worktops or bathroom fixtures. Whether you need a simple repair or a complete tap replacement, Plumb-Buster provides professional plumbing services throughout Crawley and the surrounding areas of West Sussex.
Our experienced plumbers repair and replace all types of taps, helping homeowners, landlords, tenants and local businesses restore reliable water flow with minimal disruption. We always begin by assessing the condition of the tap before recommending the most suitable solution. If a repair offers a safe and long-lasting fix, we’ll carry it out. If the tap has reached the end of its service life, we’ll explain your replacement options and complete the installation to a high standard.
Many tap problems can be resolved without replacing the entire fitting. However, some faults are a sign that replacement will provide a more reliable and cost-effective solution.
You may benefit from a professional inspection if you notice:
Ignoring these issues can lead to higher water bills, damage to surrounding surfaces and unnecessary strain on your plumbing system.
Every job starts with a careful inspection to identify the cause of the problem.
We examine the tap, valves, flexible connectors and surrounding pipework to identify worn components, leaks or installation issues.
Some taps only require new washers, ceramic cartridges or seals, while others are beyond practical repair. We’ll explain the condition of your tap and recommend the most appropriate solution without unnecessary work.
Where possible, we repair existing taps by replacing faulty internal components such as:
These repairs often restore smooth operation and eliminate leaks without replacing the entire tap.
If the tap is cracked, heavily corroded or no longer economical to repair, we can install a suitable replacement. We carefully remove the old fitting, check the surrounding plumbing, fit the new tap securely and test everything before leaving your property.
Before completing the job, we check for leaks, confirm correct water pressure and ensure both hot and cold supplies operate smoothly.
Choosing an experienced plumber helps ensure the repair or replacement is completed correctly the first time.
