Taps & water · A short practical guide
Old tap will not come off: why removal affects the price
The old tap has corroded fixings behind a deep sink, making removal harder than installation on a clear surface.
What to check
Access, hoses, isolation valves and fragile surrounding parts affect the options. Seized joints may require extra work that cannot be assessed from a top view.
Preparation and next steps
Send several under-sink angles, fixing and hose photos, previous leaks and any dismantling attempts. Clear the cupboard and agree how newly discovered damage will be handled. Do not wrench against thin pipes or the sink with excessive force.
Photos + dimensions + city + preferred time.
Understanding the prices
These are labour estimates, not a final quotation. Fixings, materials, removal, difficult access, a helper and additional jobs are agreed separately. Confirm the minimum visit charge and total before booking.
