🚰 Kitchen Tap vs Bathroom Tap Replacement – What’s Different?
💡 Why Tap Replacements Aren’t All the Same
When customers in Blackburn call me about replacing taps, the first question I ask is: “Is it in your kitchen or bathroom?” That’s because kitchen and bathroom taps have different fittings, challenges, and costs.
Here’s a breakdown to help you understand the difference.
🍳 Kitchen Tap Replacement
Kitchen taps often:
- Use mixer systems with hot & cold feeds combined
- Have larger pipework and fittings
- Require extra access under deep sinks
- May include flexible hoses or pull-out spray heads
🔧 Average cost in Blackburn: £60 – £120 (fitting, excluding tap).
đźšż Bathroom Tap Replacement
Bathroom taps can vary more, especially between:
- Basin taps (usually smaller, sometimes two separate taps)
- Bath taps (larger fittings, higher water flow)
- Mixer taps with shower attachments
Some bathroom taps can be tricky due to tight spaces behind basins.
🔧 Average cost in Blackburn: £60 – £100 (fitting, excluding tap).
👨‍🔧 Which One Is More Complicated?
Generally, kitchen taps take longer because of the awkward space under the sink and modern features. Bathroom taps are usually quicker unless pipework needs adjusting.
