Mixer Taps & Monobloc Taps
Kitchen and bathroom mixer taps use cartridge valves that wear over time. We replace the cartridge — often without needing to change the tap itself — stopping the drip and restoring smooth operation.

Fix a Dripping Tap in Midlothian — Same Day, Fixed Price
Most dripping taps are caused by a worn washer, a damaged cartridge, a failed O-ring or a corroded valve seat — all straightforward repairs when caught early. Leaving a dripping tap wastes water, raises your bills and can worsen over time until the tap fails completely or causes water damage to cupboards and pipework beneath.
We carry a comprehensive stock of washers, cartridges and tap components for most major brands, which means most repairs are completed on the same visit without needing to order parts.
Types of Leaking Tap We Repair
Bath Taps & Pillar Taps
Traditional pillar taps drip when the rubber washer or headwork wears out. We replace the internal components and re-grind the valve seat where needed to give a permanent repair.
Radiator Valves
A dripping radiator valve can cause water staining, corrosion and damage to floors and skirting boards. We replace the valve body or packing to stop the leak without draining the full system where possible.
Outside Taps & Garden Taps
Outdoor taps drip from worn O-rings or damaged spindles, especially after frost. We repair or replace outside taps and can add isolation valves to protect them from future freeze damage.
