Our tap replacement service is structured for efficiency and minimal disruption. We ensure every step is transparent and professionally executed.

1. 1

   Initial Assessment and Quote (15-30 minutes)

   Upon arrival, our plumber will inspect the existing tap, assess the plumbing connections, and discuss your replacement options. We'll provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the cost of labour and any necessary materials.

2. 2

   Water Isolation and Removal (20-45 minutes)

   Before any work begins, we'll safely shut off the water supply to the specific area, or the entire property if necessary. The old tap will then be carefully disconnected and removed, ensuring no damage to the surrounding sink or basin.

3. 3

   New Tap Installation (45-90 minutes)

   The new tap is then expertly fitted, secured, and connected to the hot and cold water lines. We pay close attention to sealing and alignment to prevent future leaks and ensure optimal functionality. This step includes fitting any new flexible hoses or washers.

4. 4

   Testing and Clean-up (10-20 minutes)

   Once installed, the water supply is restored, and the new tap is thoroughly tested for leaks, proper flow, and temperature control. We'll ensure all connections are secure and the tap operates smoothly. Finally, the work area is cleaned, and all debris is removed, leaving your space tidy.

Knowing when to call a professional for tap replacement can save you time and prevent further issues. Here are a few clear indicators:

• Persistent Leaks

  If your tap continues to drip or leak from the spout or base, even after attempting minor repairs, it's often a sign that internal components are worn beyond simple sealing.

• Corrosion or Damage

  Visible rust, mineral build-up that won't clean, or cracks in the tap body itself indicate structural failure and necessitate a full replacement.

• Poor Water Flow or Pressure

  If only one tap in your home experiences significantly reduced water flow, it might be due to internal blockages or a faulty aerator within the tap unit.

• Stiff or Seized Handles

  Taps that are difficult to turn, or handles that are completely stuck, suggest internal mechanism failure, making replacement more practical than repair.

• Renovation or Upgrade

  When undertaking a kitchen or bathroom renovation, upgrading old taps to modern, water-efficient models is a smart move for aesthetics and long-term savings.

When replacing taps, the quality of materials and components is paramount for durability and performance. We routinely work with reputable brands known for their reliability and design. For kitchen and bathroom taps, we often recommend brands like Roca, a Spanish staple known for its robust construction and wide range of styles, or Grohe, a German manufacturer offering innovative and water-efficient designs. For more budget-conscious yet reliable options, Tekas provides excellent value. We also frequently install Franke taps, especially for kitchen sinks, where their integrated designs are popular. Key materials we utilise include brass for tap bodies, valued for its corrosion resistance and longevity. Ceramic disc cartridges are standard in modern taps, offering smooth operation and drip-free performance. We also use high-grade stainless steel for certain models, particularly in kitchen environments, and durable EPDM rubber washers or silicone seals to ensure watertight connections that withstand high pressure and temperature fluctuations.

The cost for tap replacement in La Bordeta can vary, typically ranging from €55 to €714, with a median around €385. This range reflects several factors. Simple like-for-like tap replacements on easily accessible sinks are at the lower end. The price increases for complex installations, such as replacing a built-in shower mixer, or if additional plumbing adjustments are required. The type and brand of the new tap also impact the total, with premium designer taps naturally costing more than standard models. Our quotes are always transparent, covering labour, standard materials like new hoses and seals, and the proper disposal of your old tap. We provide a clear breakdown before any work begins.
