What this job involves

The tap that ticks all night into the basin generally has a tired cartridge, seat or O-ring rather than a ruined body. Single-lever faucets rely on cartridges or a ball; older twin-handle taps use compression washers on brass seats. We identify which kind you own, find the matching parts, and then decide with you whether mending it is sensible or whether the money belongs in a new faucet.

How the job goes

Close the angle stops below the basin and open the spout to bleed pressure.
Pry off the cap, pull the handle and lift the trim to expose the cartridge or stem.
Match and fit the cartridge, washer, seat or O-rings.
Unscrew the aerator and rinse out grit and scale.
Reassemble, reopen the stops, and run hot and cold to check for weeps.

Warning signs on your pipes

A steady tick from the spout overnight.
A puddle forming around the faucet deck.
The lever is stiff or gritty to move.
Hot and cold blend unevenly.
One faucet alone has gone weak.

From the job notes

Halton’s hard water leaves scale on cartridges and aerators.

Halton’s hard water leaves scale on cartridges and aerators. A faucet slowly losing flow is often just a choked aerator, a five-minute job. A stiff lever more often means a scaled cartridge.

With a new faucet, we fit new supply hoses and look hard at the angle stops. Stops that weep when turned are best renewed while the water is already off.

Questions we hear

Mend it or replace it?

With parts available and a sound body, a repair is fine. Corroded bodies or orphaned models are better replaced.

Will you hang a faucet I picked out?

Gladly. We open the box first to be sure every part is there before the old one comes off.
