Taps toilets showers

Andrew fixes dripping taps, running toilets and weak showers around Halesworth. They are small faults, but a running toilet or dripping tap wastes a surprising amount of water and usually gets worse over time.

Taps

A drip from the spout usually means a worn washer or ceramic cartridge, while a leak around the handle points to a worn seal. Both can normally be replaced without changing the whole tap. If the tap is old or corroded, he can fit a new one.

Toilets

A toilet that keeps running, refills slowly or will not flush properly normally has a worn fill valve, flush valve or seal in the cistern. Leaks at the base or from the pan connector are fixed too.

Showers

Weak or uneven showers can come from a blocked head, a failing mixer cartridge or low pressure. He checks which it is and can replace a mixer or thermostatic shower valve. Bigger leaks on the pipework are covered under plumbing repairs.
