Leaking Taps & Pipe Repairs
A dripping tap or a slow pipe leak rarely feels urgent, right up until the water bill arrives or the leak’s done damage somewhere you can’t see. We fix leaking taps, dripping fixtures and damaged pipework properly — replacing worn washers, cartridges or seals where that’s all it needs, rather than pushing a bigger fix you don’t need yet.
What’s covered under gas fitting
Why taps and pipes start leaking
Most tap leaks come down to worn internal parts — washers, O-rings or cartridges that degrade with regular use over time. Pipe leaks are more varied: ageing pipework, corrosion, pressure issues, or a joint that’s worked loose. Either way, the fix depends on finding the actual source, not just where the water’s showing up, since water can travel some distance from where a pipe has actually failed before it becomes visible.
When it’s an emergency
Burst pipes are treated differently to a slow leak or dripping tap — if water’s actively flooding a room, that’s an emergency callout, not a scheduled repair. See emergency plumbing →
