Tap Replacement in St Ives
Nothing announces hard water in St Ives quite like a constantly-dripping tap, and even a slow drip can waste hundreds of litres a week while leaving the kind of limescale stains that don't come off no matter how much you scrub. Sometimes the fix is a 50p washer; sometimes it's a new tap because the seat has corroded. We'll tell you which it is before we start.
The chalk supply running under this part of Huntingdonshire is genuinely punishing on cheap taps. Limescale collects inside the cartridge, around the spout, and on the aerator within months of fitting, and the chrome plating on budget brass pits and flakes long before its expected life. The taps that hold up around here are the proper solid-brass models with ceramic disc cartridges — we stock them from brands we trust and won't recommend the throwaway stuff.
Whether you're replacing a single dripping kitchen tap, swapping your bathroom basin taps as part of a refresh, or fitting a sleek monobloc on a new sink, we handle the lot — including isolation valves so the next replacement doesn't need the whole house shutting off. Common in the newer builds around Wheatfields, often missing in older homes around Market Hill, Westwood, and Hill Rise.
