How Much Does a Tap Repair Cost in Norwich?
Tap repair in Norwich typically costs between £65 and £200 depending on the type of tap, the fault, and whether replacement parts are needed. Most washer and cartridge replacements are at the lower end of this range and can be completed within an hour.
Typical price ranges
These guide prices are indicative. The exact quote depends on the property, access, materials and agreed scope.
- Washer or O-ring replacement: £65–£100. Most common repair. Under an hour on first visit.
- Cartridge replacement: £90–£160. Mixer tap cartridges. Price includes sourcing if not on van.
- Full tap replacement (supply & fit): £150–£350. We supply a like-for-like or upgraded replacement.
- Outside tap repair: £80–£150. Freeze damage, valve replacement, or new isolation fitting.
- Outside tap new installation: £180–£300. Running new supply and fitting outside tap with isolation valve.
Tap brand and parts availability
Common brands (Bristan, Grohe, Hansgrohe) carry stock parts. Rare or discontinued taps may need next-day sourcing, adding a second visit.
Under-sink isolation valve condition
If the isolation valve is also seized or corroded, it must be replaced before the tap repair. Add £40–£80 for a new service valve.
Access
Taps under a butler sink or in a tight corner take longer to work on. We don't add surcharges for access difficulty but we do flag it if it's particularly involved.
Kitchen vs bathroom
Kitchen tap repairs tend to cost slightly more due to higher flow rates and larger diameter cartridges. Bathroom basin taps are typically the most straightforward.
Is it worth repairing an old tap?
Usually yes, if the tap body itself is in good condition. If the body is heavily corroded, cracked, or the finish is beyond salvage, replacement often makes more sense.
Can you match my existing tap?
We can often find a very close match. Bring us the tap brand and model number (usually on the base) and we'll check availability before ordering.
Do you charge a callout fee?
We charge a fixed callout fee which is absorbed into the repair cost if work is carried out on the same visit. We're transparent about this upfront.
How quickly can you come?
Same-day for urgent drips or leaks. Next working day for routine repairs in most of Norwich and surrounding areas.
