Tap Fitting & Repairs
Stirling & Dunblane

Dripping, seized or due for an upgrade — John fits and repairs all types of tap across Stirling and Dunblane.

A dripping tap is one of those things that's easy to ignore. But a single dripping tap can waste over 5,000 litres of water a year — and they rarely fix themselves. John fits and repairs taps across Stirling and Dunblane every week, usually within a couple of hours.

Tap services John covers

Mixer Tap Installation

Kitchen or bathroom mixer taps — supplied by you or by John. Includes isolation, connection and testing.

Dripping Tap Repair

Usually a worn washer, O-ring or ceramic disc cartridge. Quick fix that stops wasted water and the constant drip.

Kitchen Tap Replacement

Upgrading your kitchen sink tap — monobloc, filter tap or separate hot/cold. John handles the plumbing side completely.

Bath & Bathroom Taps

Bath filler taps, basin taps, pairs of taps — fitted and tested. John can advise on what works for your setup.

Tap Washer Replacement

Old-style taps with worn washers are a cheap fix if caught early. John carries common washer sizes.

Isolation Valve Fitting

No isolation valves under your sink? John can fit them — makes future repairs much simpler.

Tap fitting prices

Single tap or pair of taps — labour£70
Washer replacement£35
Hourly rate (where applicable)£50/hr (£40/hr after first)

Tap supply cost is additional if John is providing the tap. Most tap jobs take 1–2 hours.

"We had a new basin and tap fitted by John, he even helped us pick the right shape and size due to the awkward space. Did a fantastic job, we'd definitely use him again."

Tap fitting questions

Can I supply my own tap?+
Yes — most customers supply their own tap. John just needs to know the connection type when you call so he can make sure he has the right fittings.
My tap is dripping — do you need to come out?+
For a standard washer or cartridge replacement, yes — John will turn off the water, replace the part and check for leaks. Usually under an hour.
Do you fit outside taps?+
Yes — John installs outside taps including pipe through the wall and a non-return valve. See the main plumbing page for more detail.
Can you replace a tap at the same time as other plumbing work?+
Absolutely — if you've got a couple of jobs on the list, it makes sense to sort them in one visit. Call John and he'll work out the most efficient approach.
