Professional Tap Installation for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Our experienced plumbers carry out tap installation on all types of taps with precision and care, delivering a clean, professional finish while protecting your sink, worktop, and plumbing system.

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.

Tap Fitting Services Explained

Not sure what a Mixer Tap is? Or struggling to visualise what a Pillar Tap is? Don’t worry, our handy tap guide below gives you explanations and images to help build your knowledge.

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.

Upgrade Your Kitchen or Bathroom

A stylish new tap can instantly refresh your space, whether you’re updating a kitchen, modernising a bathroom, or installing premium fixtures like boiling water taps.

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.

They arranged to come out straightaway at a time that suited me. I took a photo of the problem and Colin arrived with all the parts. It was done quickly and professionally and a job well done. They even took the rubbish away. Thank you Colin I would highly recommend.

I cannot thank Ryan from Metro Rod enough for his incredible service. I had a few leaks that needed fixing, and he went completely above and beyond to get the job done.When unexpected problems arose during the repair, he easily could have called it a day and left it for another time. Instead, he chose to stay and worked tirelessly until the job was completely done and everything was fixed properly.His dedication, professionalism, and amazing work ethic made a stressful situation so much easier. If you ever need plumbing or drainage work done, ask for Ryan—he is an absolute credit to the Metro Rod team!

Erin was absolutely the most fantastic engineer I have ever met. He very quickly diagnosed the issue that 8 Thames water engineer couldn't diagnose and he repaired all the damage caused by the sediments let in to my house by Thames water.

Kieran was called ro attend to an emergency call out at my home as I had a leaking water pipe in my bathroom. I received a phone call from Kieran to let me know what time he would be at my property. He arrived on time. Even though it was around 9.15pm, and he must have had a long day, he was very cheerful and polite. He fixed the leak in under an hour. Keeping me constantly updated throughout and was very professional. A lovely, young chap!
