Taps, showers & water filters

Yes, subject to the replacement being compatible and the existing connections being suitable and accessible. Send photos and the new product details before booking. Taps that look similar above the sink can have different connections below it. Our tap and filter preparation guide shows which details help.

Yes, but send the model for review before ordering where possible. Hole layout, reach, operating pressure and connection requirements can affect compatibility. A tap described as a mixer is not automatically a match for every basin, bath or water system. Keep all supplied fittings and instructions with it.

Sometimes, if there is enough safe access to the underside and connections. Fixed panels, tiles or a tightly enclosed bath can make the work more involved. Send photos of the bath and any existing access panel. Removing panels, disturbing tiles or making good must be assessed and agreed separately.

No. A matching hose thread only shows that parts may screw together; it does not establish the right flow characteristics for the shower. Electric showers in particular can require specified heads and hoses. A restricted head, worn hose and a supply problem can also produce different symptoms, so a new accessory is not a guaranteed pressure fix. Share both models before buying; the tap and filter guide covers compatibility and access details.

Those are outside this standard fitting offer. Our shower work covers compatible heads and hoses. Electric showers, concealed valves and larger shower-system changes need a separately assessed specialist scope, including any electrical work or access behind the wall.

Not always. Some drips can be addressed with a suitable service part, while wear, corrosion or unavailable parts may make replacement more practical. Tell us where the water appears and send the make or model if known. The cause should be assessed before assuming that a new tap is necessary.

Yes, we can assess the tap change with an under-sink or filter-tap system. The filter and tap must be compatible, with usable cupboard space and appropriate connections. A separate tap may also need a suitable mounting hole; any drilling is agreed before booking.

Our current service is for under-sink point-of-use filters and filter-tap systems, subject to the exact model and installation being suitable. We also assess compatible cartridge changes and maintenance. Send the make and model first. Reverse osmosis, whole-house systems and water softeners are outside the offer.

That depends on the filter and tap design. Some use a dedicated drinking-water tap; others use a compatible three-way tap or a specific connection arrangement. We check the product instructions and available space before confirming. Include any kitchen-tap change in the same enquiry so the work can be assessed together.

A separate filter tap may need a suitable existing hole or a new one. A compatible three-way tap can sometimes use the main tap position instead. The material, layout and product requirements matter. Drilling or worktop alteration is not assumed to be included and must be agreed before booking.

Follow the interval or rated capacity for the exact cartridge, taking account of the manufacturer's conditions and your use. There is no single replacement schedule for all filters. Send the cartridge code and last-change date if known, so we can plan appropriate maintenance rather than guess from its appearance.

Routine cartridge servicing and finding the cause of a leak or poor flow are different jobs. Servicing follows the model's instructions for the correct cartridge, any required cleaning, preparation or flushing, and checks of accessible connections and operation. Fault-finding may need the tap, filter housing, connections or supply considered as well. Tell us which task you need; routine maintenance does not include laboratory water testing or certify removal of every substance.

Do not assume that a filter removes hardness or every contaminant; performance depends on the named system and cartridge. The Drinking Water Inspectorate says public tap water generally does not need additional treatment for health protection. If there is an unusual taste, colour or suspected supply problem, raise it with your water company rather than masking it with a filter.

Yes, once the exact system and parts have been reviewed for the job. Matching appearance or thread size is not enough to establish compatibility. Send product links before ordering if possible. Our tap and filter preparation guide covers the model information, cupboard photos and access details that help.

A cartridge-only visit and a new filter-and-tap installation involve different work and parts. Cupboard access, connections, mounting and the model's preparation requirements affect the quote. Send the system details and task required, and see how pricing is agreed before booking.
