Tap Repair in Kettering

If your tap has started dripping or leaking, it's easy to put it off — but a leaking tap wastes more water than you'd think and can become more of an inconvenience the longer it's left. Whether it's a slow drip from a kitchen sink tap or a bathroom basin tap that won't stop running, DM Plumbing Services provides reliable tap repair in Kettering and the surrounding areas.

If a repair isn't the most cost-effective option, we'll tell you honestly. Where a replacement makes more sense, we can fit a tap you've already purchased or advise on a suitable option before booking.

What causes a leaking tap

Understanding what's causing your tap to leak can help you decide how urgently it needs attention. The most common causes are:

Worn washers — the most frequent cause of a dripping tap. Washers press against the tap seat every time the tap is used and wear down over time, allowing water to pass through when the tap is off.

Damaged cartridge — mixer taps and modern single-lever taps use a cartridge to control water flow. If the cartridge becomes worn or damaged, the tap will drip or fail to shut off fully.

Worn O-rings — O-rings seal the tap spindle and can deteriorate with age, causing leaks around the base of the tap rather than from the spout.
