Why Choose BC Plumbing for Tap Repair & Installation in Frome?

How Our Tap Replacement and Repair Service Works

We believe in transparent, highly responsive service that gets your domestic plumbing back to normal with minimal disruption. Here is how we approach every tap installation or repair in the Frome area:Initial Diagnosis: We assess the fixture to see if a simple repair, such as a new ceramic cartridge or rubber washer, will solve the issue cost-effectively.Water Isolation: We safely isolate the mains water supply. If your system lacks functioning isolation valves, we can install them to make future maintenance simple and safe.Professional Repair or Fitting: Whether replacing a worn internal component or executing a complete kitchen tap replacement, we ensure a watertight, secure fit.Testing and Compliance: We thoroughly test the new tap to ensure optimal pressure and verify that the work fully complies with UK Water Regulations.

Why Is My Tap Constantly Dripping or Stiff?

It is one of the most common informational questions we hear from homeowners across Bath and Somerset. Usually, a dripping tap is caused by internal wear and tear. In traditional fixtures, rubber washers degrade over time. In modern mixer tap installation, the internal ceramic disc cartridge often becomes damaged by grit.Somerset and Wiltshire are well-known for hard water. Over time, limescale builds up inside the tap mechanism, causing stiff handles, low water pressure, and persistent leaks. If left untreated, a simple drip can damage the internal seating, turning a quick repair into a mandatory replacement. Addressing the issue early saves water and protects your sink basin from permanent staining.

The Benefits of WRAS Approved Plumbing Services

When upgrading your bathroom or kitchen fixtures, choosing a professional local plumber ensures long-term reliability and safety. All new taps and valves installed by BC Plumbing adhere to strict WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) guidelines. This guarantees that your new fittings are entirely safe for drinking water and will not cause backflow contamination to the mains supply.Alongside WRAS compliance, our team proudly holds Plumbing Part 1 and 2 qualifications. We handle everything from basic dripping tap repairs to providing G3 certified hot water cylinder repair in Trowbridge and unvented cylinder installations. We are also fully covered by comprehensive Public Liability Insurance. We do not just fit the tap; we ensure your entire hot and cold water system is balanced safely.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tap Fitting

Can you repair my tap, or does it require replacement?In many instances, we can perform a leaking tap repair by replacing the internal cartridge, O-rings, or washers.

Alternatively, we can supply and fit high-quality, WRAS approved plumbing hardware tailored to your specific style and budget.Do I need to turn my water off before you arrive?If the tap is actively leaking and threatening to cause property damage, please turn off your water at the main stopcock if you know where it is.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional tap repair and installation services in Frome, Somerset & Wiltshire.

Why is my tap still dripping after I changed the washer?

+

If a new washer did not fix the problem, the "seat" of the tap might be damaged or corroded by limescale. In modern taps, it is often the ceramic disc cartridge that has failed rather than a rubber washer. We can usually replace these cartridges without needing to replace the entire tap.

Can you install a tap I have already bought?

+

Yes, we are happy to fit taps that you have purchased yourself. We will check that it is WRAS approved and suitable for your home's water pressure before we start the installation to ensure you are happy with the results.

How long does it take to replace a kitchen tap?

+

A standard kitchen tap replacement usually takes between one and two hours. This depends on how easy it is to access the pipework and whether we need to install new isolation valves. We always aim to get your kitchen back to normal as quickly as possible.

My tap is vibrating when I turn it on, what is wrong?

+

This is often caused by a loose washer or an issue with the internal valves. It can sometimes be a sign of high water pressure or "water hammer." We can diagnose the cause and fix the vibration to prevent damage to your pipework.
