Tap Servicing

The Service includes:

• 1 X pr of taps have the washers. (jumpers) changed.
• Spindle O’rings replaced.
• Spindle shaft cleaned and degreased.
• New water grease applied.
• Tap seats checked & refaced if needed.
• Taps reassembled, tested.
• Wall Set cavities re-water-proofed behind spindle shroud.

• Let me know on the form if you need more tap sets (or all taps in the house done together) to save on labour costs.

• Quality Brass jumper valves are used.
• Most tapware bought from a Hardware or Plumbers Supply will have a generic plastic jumper valve and washer. Even top of the line taps do!
• They wear quickly, can disintegrate inside the tap and debris can cause water hammer and block other valves and components in the plumbing system.
• For a modest price quality jumpers are long lasting and use quality washer  materials or o’ring designs.

• If tap seat is too badly worn or gouged out, S/S tap inserts can be fitted as optional extra.
• A Stainless Steel seat insert can restore a tap seat too an as new condition and extend the service life of the tap considerably.
• A new thread is tapped into the existing brass body and the insert screwed in with sealing washer.
• It then operates the same as a standard tap with a new jumper fitted and the spindle and handles re-usable.

• If badly worn the spindle can be replaced as an optional extra.
• In most cases it would be more cost effective to replace the whole top assembly. They are sold as pairs.
• If you have a matched tap style throughout the bathroom that you would like to retain, this is a good case for spindle replacement.
