Tap Installation & Repair in Sandton & Midrand

A dripping tap wastes thousands of litres a year and a badly fitted mixer leaks behind the wall. Apple Plumbing & Electrical installs and repairs all tap and mixer types — basin, kitchen, laundry, bath and outdoor — across Sandton, Midrand, Fourways and Northern Johannesburg. We carry the common cartridges and washers on the van, so most repairs are done on the first visit.

What we do

For installations we fit basin, kitchen, bath and laundry mixers, outdoor and pillar taps — chrome, brass and matte black — with proper isolation valves so future servicing is easy. For repairs we replace worn ceramic cartridges, perished washers and O-rings, fix leaking spouts and bases, free up stiff handles and clear scaled-up aerators. Where a tap is beyond economical repair we advise a like-for-like or upgrade replacement before doing the work.

• A tap that drips constantly or won't shut off fully
