Start with the symptom
What is your tap doing?
You do not need to know the part name. Choose the closest description, then send a clear photo of the tap and, where safe, the area underneath it.
Tap drips from the spout
A tap that will not quite shut off is often a washer, valve seat or ceramic cartridge issue.
Read the dripping-tap guideMixer tap leaks from the base or underneath
Water around the tap base or in the cabinet may be from the body, flexible tails, isolation valve or a connection.
See leak repair adviceTap handle is stiff, seized or loose
Limescale, a corroded cartridge or worn handle mechanism can make a tap difficult to turn or control.

A clear photo and the make/model of any customer-supplied tap help us confirm the right fitting approach.
Ask about tap fittingWhat We Fix
Most tap problems come down to a worn washer, a failed cartridge, a corroded valve seat or a leaking connection. We carry common parts on the van, and a clear photo often lets us prepare a fixed-price quote before a visit is booked.
Dripping taps
A tap that won't fully close is usually a worn washer or cartridge. We replace the faulty part or the whole tap if it's beyond repair.
Leaking mixer taps
Mixer taps can leak from the spout, the base, or the flexible hoses underneath. We identify the source and fix it at the root.
Seized or stiff handles
Handles that are hard to turn or won't move at all. Often a corroded cartridge or a build-up of limescale inside the valve.
Tap replacement
If your tap is old, corroded, or simply not worth repairing, we'll supply and fit a new one. Supply-only is also fine if you have a tap you want fitted.
Under-sink connections
Flexible hoses, isolating valves, and compression fittings under the sink — replaced or tightened as part of the job.
Bathroom & en suite taps
Basin taps, bath taps, and monobloc mixers. Same fixed-price approach, same one-year guarantee.

Tap Repair in Ashford, Kent
A dripping tap wastes more water than most people realise — a single leaking tap can lose thousands of litres a year. More importantly, it's usually a simple fix: a new washer, a replacement cartridge, or a new tap altogether. Flow Right Plumbing covers tap repairs across Ashford and the surrounding villages, including Kennington, Willesborough, Singleton, Kingsnorth, and Wye.
We work on all tap types — traditional pillar taps, modern monobloc mixers, quarter-turn ceramic disc taps, and thermostatic bar mixers. If a repair isn't economical, we'll tell you honestly and quote for a replacement instead. We can fit a tap you've already bought, or supply one ourselves. Customer-specified taps are normally purchased by the customer, while Flow Right provides the fitting service and checks the existing connections.
Our plumber is a registered member of the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE/RP) with over 25 years' experience in domestic plumbing across Ashford and Kent. Tap repair and replacement work has a one-year guarantee on workmanship and Flow Right-supplied materials, subject to Terms; customer-supplied items are workmanship-only.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a call-out fee for tap repairs in Ashford?
Most suitable enquiries are assessed from photos, video and a description first. If an on-site diagnostic attendance is needed, the £49.99 charge is agreed before booking and credited against the agreed repair price if Flow Right carries out the repair; otherwise it pays for diagnostic attendance.
How soon can you confirm a tap replacement appointment?
For a suitable like-for-like tap replacement, send a photo or video, the make/model and a short description. We will confirm availability and a suitable attendance time when booking.
Do I need to supply the new tap myself?
You can supply your own tap, or we can supply one for you. If you have already purchased a tap, just let us know the make and model when you get in touch. If you would like us to supply it, we will include the cost in your fixed-price quote.
