Is your kitchen or bathroom tap showing signs of wear?
Your taps are used every day, so small problems can quickly become frustrating. A dripping tap, reduced water flow, stiff handle or leak around the base can all indicate that an internal component, seal, connection or the tap itself needs attention.
Normz Plumbing provides tap repair in Northampton as well as tap installation and replacement. We can assess the problem, explain the practical options and carry out the appropriate repair or replacement.
Dripping or leaking
A persistent drip from the spout, base or connections can indicate a worn washer, seal, cartridge or another component.
Low water flow
A blocked aerator or worn valve can reduce flow from one tap. If several taps are affected, the cause may be elsewhere in the plumbing.
Stiff or loose handle
Difficulty turning a tap can be caused by wear inside the mechanism, limescale or a damaged component.
Noisy operation
Rattling, clanking or squeaking can indicate a loose, worn or deteriorating internal component.
Corrosion or rust
Visible corrosion can affect the appearance, operation and long-term condition of a tap.
Leak around the base
Water around the base of a tap can come from a worn seal or connection where the tap meets the sink or basin.
Tap repair in Northampton that addresses the actual fault
A leaking or difficult-to-use tap does not always need replacing. Depending on the fault and condition of the tap, repairing a worn component can be a practical option.
What we can assess and repair
- Dripping taps and leaking spouts
- Leaks around the tap base or connections
- Worn washers, seals and cartridges
- Stiff or difficult-to-turn mechanisms
- Blocked or restricted tap aerators
- Loose or deteriorating tap components
- Kitchen and bathroom tap faults
What happens during a repair?
We first identify where the problem is coming from and assess the condition of the tap. Where a suitable repair is practical, the worn component can be replaced and the tap tested afterwards.
If the tap is heavily corroded, damaged or repeatedly developing faults, we can explain whether replacement is likely to make more sense.

What to expect from a professional tap installation
Whether you are replacing a leaking tap or fitting a new one as part of a kitchen or bathroom upgrade, correct installation helps ensure the tap operates properly and the connections are secure.
Check compatibility
We assess the tap, existing fittings and available connections before installation.
Remove the old tap
Where required, the existing tap is removed carefully so the surrounding sink or basin is not unnecessarily disturbed.
Fit the new tap
The replacement tap is connected to the appropriate water supplies and secured correctly.
Check for leaks
Connections are checked and the tap is operated to identify any signs of leakage or problems.
Should you repair your tap or replace it?
There is no single answer for every tap. The right option depends on the condition of the tap, the fault and whether suitable replacement components are available.
Age and condition
An older tap with several worn components may make replacement more practical.
Corrosion
Significant corrosion can make a reliable repair difficult or uneconomical.
Parts availability
Replacement components may not be readily available for some older or discontinued taps.
Type of fault
A worn washer or cartridge may be repairable, while a cracked or badly damaged body may require replacement.
Previous repairs
If the same tap has repeatedly developed faults, replacing it may be more practical.
Overall cost
We can explain the practical options so you can decide whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
A small tap problem can become a bigger plumbing problem
Not every dripping or stiff tap is an emergency, but leaving a fault unresolved can allow water damage, corrosion or other problems to develop over time.
Water waste
A persistent drip can waste water unnecessarily and may increase your water usage.
Damage around the sink
Persistent leaks can affect cabinets, worktops, flooring and surrounding materials.
Damp and mould risk
Repeated moisture around a leaking tap or connection can contribute to damp conditions.
Worsening corrosion
Continued exposure to water can contribute to deterioration of fittings and surrounding components.
Reduced usability
A stiff, noisy or low-flow tap can make everyday kitchen and bathroom tasks more difficult.
More extensive repairs
Addressing a fault early can help prevent a relatively straightforward repair becoming a wider plumbing problem.
Is it the tap, or something underneath?
Water around a sink or basin does not always mean the tap itself is leaking. The source could be a connection, trap or pipe underneath the sink.
A dripping tap can wait. Uncontrolled water cannot.
Most tap problems are routine repairs. However, if a tap will not shut off or water is escaping rapidly and creating a risk of damage, treat the situation as urgent.
