Why Should I Consider Tap Repair Instead of Replacement?
Fixing a tap is often cheaper and better for the planet. Homeowners can save money and help the environment by choosing repair over replacement.
Common Issues That Require Tap Repair
Many tap problems can be easily fixed. These include:
- Worn-out washers cause dripping taps
- Damaged O-rings leading to leaks
- Corroded valve seats affect water flow
Fixing these issues quickly stops water waste and makes your tap last longer.
Advantages of Tap Repair
Choosing to repair your tap has many benefits:
- Cost-effective solution that saves money
- Water conservation by fixing leaks quickly
- Reduced environmental impact
- Preservation of your sink and surrounding area
This makes tap repair a great choice for many homes.
Repair or Replace?
Deciding between repair and replacement depends on several factors. We look at the tap’s age, condition, and repair costs. If fixing the tap is cheaper and solves the problem, we suggest it. This way, you save money and make your tap last longer.
How Do I Detect a Leaking Tap?
Spotting a leaking tap early can save you from wasting water and getting higher water bills. We’ll show you how to spot the signs, find the causes, and understand the effects of dripping taps for effective leak detection.
Signs of a Leaky Tap
Look out for these signs:
- Visible water drops forming at the spout
- Damp or water stains around the base of the tap
- Unexpected increases in your water bills
- Unusual sounds like constant dripping or trickling
A small drip can waste a lot of water over time.
Impact on Your Water Bill
A leaking tap might seem small, but it can cause big water waste and higher water bills. A tap dripping once per second can waste up to 4 litres daily. Severe leaks can waste 90 litres or more each day. This could add over £100 to your yearly bill. Fixing it quickly saves water and protects your property from water damage and mould.
