Tap repairs in Ipswich

What we handle

Ignite Plumbing handles everyday tap faults in Ipswich homes, from worn washers and O-rings to cartridges, tap bodies and connections. The right fix depends on the tap, the source of the leak and whether compatible parts are available. If replacement makes more sense than repair, we’ll explain why before work begins.

• Dripping mixers, monobloc and pillar taps
• Stiff handles and worn internal parts
• Leaks around tap bases, flexible tails and sink connections
• Outdoor tap faults and accessible isolation options
• Repair or replacement discussed before work starts

Describe the fault

Tell us where the water appears, whether the tap drips when closed, and if the handle has become stiff. Photos of the tap and any visible brand or model help identify likely parts.

Inspect and isolate

The engineer checks the tap, its connections and the available isolation point before taking it apart. A drip from the spout and a leak beneath the sink need different fixes.

Agree the work

We’ll explain whether a washer, seal, cartridge, connection or replacement tap is appropriate. The scope and price are agreed before work starts; specialist parts may need to be sourced.

Repair and check

After the agreed work, the tap and nearby connections are checked for operation and visible leaks.

Dripping and leaking taps

A drip at the spout may be caused by a worn washer or cartridge, while water around the base or beneath the sink may come from seals, flexible tails or connections. Finding the source matters before ordering parts.

Stiff or seized handles

Scale, wear or a damaged spindle can make a handle difficult to turn. We assess whether the internal mechanism can be serviced or whether a compatible part is needed.

Tap replacement

If a tap is damaged or suitable parts cannot be found, replacement may be the practical option. Let us know if you already have a tap in mind so suitability and fitting can be checked.

Outside taps

An outside tap can leak at the spout, body or pipework. We can inspect accessible fittings and discuss repair, replacement or an isolation valve where appropriate.

What does a tap repair cost?

Cost depends on the fault, access and parts required. Share photos and the property postcode when you enquire; the scope and price will be agreed before work begins rather than relying on a generic price list.
