Common Questions

Tap Installation FAQs

Everything you need to know about professional tap installations in Sydney

Can you install the tapware I purchased online or from a hardware store?
Absolutely. We regularly install tapware that customers have purchased themselves from retailers like Bunnings, Reece, or online suppliers. We inspect the tapware upon arrival to verify quality and completeness, then install it to manufacturer specifications with proper sealing and testing. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation even when you supply the fixtures.
How long does a typical tap installation take?
A straightforward single tap replacement (basin mixer or kitchen tap) typically takes 45-90 minutes including removal of the old fixture, preparation, installation, and testing. More complex installations like freestanding bath fillers, sensor taps requiring electrical work, or boiling water systems can take 2-4 hours. We provide accurate time estimates during quoting.
Will new taps fit my existing sink or benchtop holes?
Most modern taps are designed for standard hole configurations (35mm or 40mm diameter). We assess your existing setup first to ensure compatibility. If your sink has additional unused holes, we can fit blanking plugs for a clean finish. For custom stone benchtops, we coordinate with fabricators for proper hole sizing and placement before installation.
Do WELS-rated water-efficient taps compromise water pressure?
No. WELS 5-6 star rated tapware uses advanced aerator technology to mix air with water, maintaining excellent perceived pressure and spray coverage while reducing actual water consumption by 40-50%. Quality ceramic disc cartridges ensure smooth operation and responsive control. You enjoy the same great performance with dramatically lower water usage.
What brands of tapware do you recommend and install?
We work with all leading Australian and international brands including Methven, Caroma, Dorf, Phoenix, Grohe, Kohler, Hansgrohe, and Zip. Each brand offers different design aesthetics, features, and price points. We provide honest recommendations based on your budget, style preferences, and performance requirements, focusing on quality and longevity.
