Plumbing — Taps

A tap that closes, and no longer drips.

Kitchen, basin, shower or bath mixer: I replace the old one, change the hoses and seals along the way, and check the valves so the water can be shut off cleanly.

What I do.

What a replacement includes.

Kitchen mixer

The old one removed, the new one fitted with new hoses, and the connections beneath the sink checked for tightness.

Basin mixer

Replaced together with the waste where needed, the pop-up adjusted and the seal checked.

Shower and bath

Wall-mounted or thermostatic mixer: fitted to the existing connections, or the offset unions reworked if the centres differ.

A dripping tap

Sometimes a new cartridge is enough. I tell you so before proposing a full replacement.

Valves and hoses

Seized stop valves and worn hoses replaced, so no weak point is left beside a new tap.

Choosing the model

I advise you on cartridge quality and compatibility with your installation before you buy.

A new tap is only as good as its connections.

A handsome mixer fitted to fifteen-year-old hoses and a valve that no longer closes is the next leak in waiting. I replace everything that matters, and restore the water in your presence.

Where I work.

Five arrondissements — the Left Bank, and the 16^th just across the river — covered neighbourhood by neighbourhood. It is the area I can reach quickly, which matters when water is running.
