Leaking tap or shower in Brighton? Here’s the fix.
Hard water wears taps and shower valves out faster, and Brighton’s water is hard. We replace the part that has failed, clean the scale out around it, and test it at full pressure before we go.
- Ceramic cartridges, washers and O-rings replaced
- Thermostatic and mixer shower valves descaled or repaired
- Leaking shower trays, seals and grout put right
- Kitchen and basin mixers replaced like for like
- Isolating valves fitted so the next fix is quicker
Leaking taps and showers in Brighton
Brighton’s water comes from the chalk under the city and the Downs, so it carries a lot of calcium. Scale builds up on the ceramic discs in taps and inside thermostatic shower cartridges. The tap stiffens, then it drips. A shower starts to run hot and cold, or stops shutting off fully.
Most homes in the Southern Water area now pay by meter, so a running tap costs money as well as water. A tap that will not shut off is worth fixing straight away, not left until the weekend. A shower valve that will not close fully can run for hours without anyone noticing.
Brighton has many guest houses, holiday lets and hotels, with showers in use every day of the year. A leaking shower can put a room out of use and, in an older building, soak the ceiling of the room below. We repair the valve or seal and check the area underneath before we go.
Older flats in the North Laine and Kemptown often have taps and shower valves that are no longer made. Send us a photo when you call. If we can get the part, we bring it. If not, we suggest a replacement that suits the existing pipework.
