Our service is designed for minimal disruption and maximum efficiency, typically completed within 60 to 120 minutes depending on complexity. Here’s how we ensure a seamless tap replacement:

1. 1

   Initial Assessment and Isolation (10-15 minutes)

   Upon arrival, our plumber will quickly assess the existing tap and surrounding plumbing. We'll then locate and shut off the main water supply to the area, ensuring safety and preventing any water spills during the work.

2. 2

   Removal of Old Fixture (20-40 minutes)

   Carefully, the old tap is disconnected from the water lines and removed from its mounting. We take care to avoid damage to your sink, countertop, or basin during this step, cleaning the area thoroughly afterwards.

3. 3

   New Tap Installation (30-50 minutes)

   The new tap is then precisely fitted and securely connected to the hot and cold water supplies. We use appropriate seals and tools to guarantee a watertight installation, preventing future leaks.

4. 4

   Testing and Cleanup (10-15 minutes)

   Once installed, the water supply is restored, and the new tap is rigorously tested for leaks and proper function, including flow rate and temperature control. We then clean up the work area, leaving it tidy and ready for immediate use.

Ignoring a faulty tap can escalate into a larger plumbing problem. You should consider calling us if you observe any of the following:

• Persistent Leaks

  Even a slow drip can waste hundreds of litres of water annually, increasing your utility bills and potentially causing dampness or mould.

• Difficulty Operating

  Stiff handles, grinding sounds, or taps that no longer turn off completely indicate internal component failure, making them inefficient and frustrating to use.

• Visible Corrosion or Damage

  Greenish build-up, rust spots, or cracks on the tap body suggest material degradation, which can compromise water quality and lead to sudden leaks.

• Reduced Water Pressure

  If only one tap in your home experiences significantly lower pressure, it could be due to internal blockages or sediment build-up within the fixture itself, which a replacement can resolve.

• Outdated Aesthetics

  Sometimes, a tap simply no longer suits your bathroom or kitchen design. Upgrading can refresh the look and improve functionality simultaneously.

Selecting the right tap involves considering both aesthetics and durability. We work with a range of high-quality materials and reputable brands known for their performance and longevity. For kitchen and bathroom taps, common materials include chrome-plated brass, which offers excellent corrosion resistance and a classic finish. Stainless steel is another popular choice, valued for its robust nature and modern appearance, particularly in high-traffic areas. For a more traditional look, bronze or brushed nickel finishes provide a distinctive touch while maintaining durability. We frequently install products from leading manufacturers such as Grohe, renowned for innovative design and reliable cartridges, and Roca, a Spanish brand offering a wide array of stylish and functional fixtures. For more specialised or high-end requirements, we also work with Hansgrohe and Tres Grifería, ensuring a perfect match for any interior design or budget. Our selection guarantees you receive a tap that not only looks great but also performs flawlessly for years to come.

The cost of tap replacement in El Raval can vary significantly, typically ranging from €55 to €714, with a median price around €385. This range reflects several factors. The complexity of the installation plays a major role; a straightforward kitchen tap replacement will be at the lower end, while a complex basin mixer in a confined space or one requiring minor pipe adjustments will be higher. The type and brand of the new tap itself also influence the price, from standard models to premium designer fixtures. Our quotes are always transparent, covering the plumber's labour, any necessary minor fittings, and the removal of the old tap. We provide a detailed breakdown before any work commences, ensuring you understand exactly what you're paying for, with no hidden fees.
