From mixer taps to pillar taps and boiler water taps, we’re available across the UK to complete your tap fitting and provide you with complete peace of mind.

Why Choose Professional Tap Fitting?

While tap replacement may look simple, incorrect installation can lead to leaks, damage, or poor water pressure. Hiring a professional tap fitting specialist ensures everything is installed safely and correctly.

Leak-free Installation

Poorly fitted taps often cause slow leaks that damage cabinets and worktops. Our plumbers ensure every connection is sealed and pressure-tested.

Protect Your Sink & Worktops

Over-tightening or incorrect tools can crack basins or scratch surfaces. We install taps carefully to protect your kitchen and bathroom finishes.

Manufacturer Warranty Protection

Many tap manufacturers require professional installation to maintain warranty coverage. Our work helps ensure your investment is protected.

A Clean, Professional Finish

We ensure your new tap is aligned perfectly, securely fitted, and visually flawless — enhancing the overall look of your space.

Mixer Tap Installation

Mixer taps combine hot and cold water in one convenient control, making them a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms. We ensure precise fitting, correct pressure balance, and leak-free connections.

Pillar Tap Installation

Traditional pillar taps remain common in many homes. These tap designs feature two separate fixtures, one for hot water, one for cold water, and each fixture is mounted directly onto a basin or sink. Our plumbers install and replace these taps efficiently while ensuring a tidy, professional finish.

Boiling Water Tap Installation

Boiling water taps offer instant hot water for cooking and drinks. These specialist systems require careful installation, pressure checks, and safe connections, which our trained plumbers handle with ease.

Glass Rinser Installation

A practical and trendy addition to any kitchen sink, the glass rinser is often seen in bars and restaurants but it’s becoming much more popular in homes. These compact fixtures use a high-pressure jet spray to clean glasses, bottles and mugs in seconds.

Our professional tap installation service makes home plumbing upgrades simple, safe, and hassle-free.

Tap Fitting FAQs

How much does tap installation cost?

The cost of tap installation depends on the type of tap being fitted and the complexity of the job. Standard tap replacements are usually quicker and more affordable, while installations such as boiling water taps may require additional components and setup. A professional new tap plumber can provide a clear quote based on the tap type and installation requirements. Contact us to get a free, no-obligation quote.

Do I need a plumber to install a new tap?

While some homeowners attempt DIY installation, hiring a professional tap fitting specialist ensures the tap is installed safely and correctly. A qualified plumber can prevent leaks, protect your sink or worktop from damage, and ensure the tap works properly with your home’s water pressure.

How long does tap installation take?

Most standard tap fitting jobs take between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on access to the pipework and the type of tap being installed. More complex installations, such as boiling water taps or taps connected to filtration systems, may take longer.

Can you replace my old tap with a modern mixer tap?

Yes, in most cases, an old tap can be replaced with a modern mixer tap. A professional plumber will check the existing pipework and ensure the new tap is compatible with your water supply and sink. Upgrading to a mixer tap is a popular way to improve both the appearance and usability of a kitchen or bathroom.

What types of taps can a plumber install?

Our professional new tap plumbers can install a wide range of taps, including mixer taps, pillar taps, boiling water taps, glass rinsers, and filtered water taps. Professional installation ensures the tap is fitted securely, aligned correctly, and fully leak-tested before use.

  Metro plumb was contracted by Thames Water to back-flush our mains connection as we had no water. The contractor called when he was on his way, was polite and considerate. He carried out the task as requested. When this did not solve the problem, he continued to explore other possibilities with us until water supply was successfully restored. We are very grateful for his help and his problem solving approach and highly recommend this company based on this experience.

  I can’t comment on the price as Thames Water requested they attend my property after a pipe burst. However the gentleman that came out to me was very nice friendly and polite. Talked me through what he was needing to do and when he left he left no mess! All in all very good first impression of the company

  Had a problem due to a recent Thames Water burst pipe and they made a referral to this company. They were fab and came out the same day and sooner than the given estimated time frame. My problem was fixed super quick. Efficient and friendly service from the technician. I can't comment on the cost as it was covered by TW, but I'd happily use this company again. Thank you.

  Really happy with the service! Bryan came out and, after the initial plunging didn’t work, he found the actual issue with the main water line and fixed it. He handled everything really well, and the water is now draining perfectly with no blockage. Great service and highly recommend Bryan! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  Exceptional and selfless service!
Kyle went above and beyond to help us during a tricky situation! Unbeknownst to us we had a damaged a pipe for years leading to a bedroom radiator, yoday ehile having some decorating done it was found and while waiting for the council to send someone to help,  Kyle, who was working nearby, stepped in. He wasn’t obligated to assist as he wasn’t assigned to us, yet he kindly fixed the issue on the spot. His professionalism and empathy were outstanding, and he saved us a lot of stress. An absolute credit to his team! Please give him a payrise or promotion!!!!! He is an absolute asset to your team!!!!!! 

Kyle, thank you so much! If the world was made up of more people like you, it'd be a much nicer place to live!!!! Thank you!

  We had a sudden loss of water into our house. Our usual plumbers had no idea what was happening. The water supply company said it was our problem. Metro Plumbing came three times and worked out that it wasn’t a dropped valve or anything and did blowback 7 times And eventually managed to Dislodge a 4 foot section of matted Tree root  from inside our Water Main! There were sudden restoration of cold water through the mains pipe into the house. Honestly, without them, we would be stuck without water! They were all very pleasant and courteous and listened to the complex Story of all the previous investigations.  We now need to work out where the Tree root  got into the Main water supply, but that’s another matter! They came three times and spent many many hours so the price I paid in fact was incredibly reasonable
