20 Years Fixing Taps & Outlets Across Terranora

Is Your Tap Dripping, Stiff, or Won't Shut Off?

A dripping tap rarely stays a small problem for long. What starts as a slow drip from a worn washer or failing ceramic disc can quickly turn into a tap leaking from the handle, a spindle that seizes up, or water tracking down into the cabinet below and damaging joinery. In older Terranora homes, ageing tap sets and corroded supply lines are common culprits, while newer properties can suffer from faulty cartridges or O-ring failures in mixer taps.

Outdoor taps and garden taps face their own challenges, with exposure to weather often causing hose cocks to seize or washers to perish faster than indoor fixtures. A tap that won't turn off, or one that hammers and shudders every time you use it, usually points to a bigger issue with pressure or a failing isolation valve. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to water damage, mould, and a noticeably higher water bill.

Whatever the symptom, from a stiff shower mixer to a leaking laundry tap, it pays to get an experienced plumber onto it before the damage spreads.
