A straightforward replacement can become more involved if valves, connections or access are poor. Send photographs and identify whether the tap is supplied by you.

Key checks for tap replacement

  • Confirm the tap fits the basin or sink.
  • Include old fitting removal and connection parts.
  • Ask how any faulty isolation valves are handled.

What changes the tap replacement scope?

Give the provider details about tap type, basin or sink access, isolation valves, pipework condition. Ask which of these apply to your requirement and whether they are included in the proposed service.

  • Tap type
  • Basin or sink access
  • Isolation valves
  • Pipework condition

An illustrative quote comparison

One tap fits sound accessible connections; another needs valve repairs and more difficult access.

Check compatibility and access before booking. Confirm supply, fitting, connection parts and authorisation for additional pipework.
