Signs Your Taps Need Professional Attention

A dripping tap rarely fixes itself. Worn washers, damaged o-rings and failing ceramic discs tend to get worse with time, turning a minor drip into a constant trickle that wastes water and pushes up your bill. If you've noticed a tap leaking from the handle, leaking at the base, or a wall mixer that seems to be dripping into the cavity behind the tiles, these are early warnings worth acting on.

Other common issues include mixer taps that have become stiff or hard to turn, outdoor taps and hose cocks that have seized from age or corrosion, and flexi hoses under the sink that weep and stain vanity cabinets. Low water pressure at a single tap can point to a failing cartridge or debris trapped in the valve seat, while a tap that won't shut off completely often signals a worn washer or a spindle that needs replacing.

Left unresolved, these problems can lead to water damage in cupboards, mould growth, water hammer in the pipes, and unnecessary strain on your household budget. Getting a qualified plumber to inspect and repair the issue early is almost always the simpler, more affordable path.
