Tap Installation

Tap installation from LAB Plumbing & Heating costs £85 to £150 and is usually completed within an hour. We fit kitchen mixer taps, pull-out and spring-neck taps, bathroom basin taps and new isolation valves across Chester-le-Street, Durham, Newcastle and the North East. If the tap has isolation valves, the rest of your water stays on while we work.

A new tap is a quick upgrade that makes a real difference to a kitchen or bathroom. We fit taps for homeowners across Chester-le-Street, Durham, Newcastle, Gateshead and Sunderland, and most jobs are complete within an hour.

We fit kitchen mixer taps, pull-out and spring-neck taps, basin and bath taps in chrome, matt black, brushed brass and brushed steel finishes. Whether you have bought the tap yourself or want a recommendation, the job is done neatly and tested before we leave.

If your tap has isolation valves, every other outlet in the house can be used while the work is going on. If it does not, we can fit new isolation valves at the same time, which makes any future work much easier.

Tap installation is priced at £85 to £150, depending on the tap and the access.
