Plumbline passes tap and mixer requests to plumbers and handymen in Singapore. Under PUB's rules, replacing or removing a tap or mixer, and some connected accessories like a shower hose or showerhead, is simple work that does not need a PUB Licensed Plumber (PUB).
What the plumber does first
The plumber checks whether the drip is a worn washer or cartridge, which can be replaced, or a failed tap body, which needs a new tap, and whether the stop valve below it still shuts off properly.
What is included
- Diagnosis: cartridge, washer or whole tap
- Tap or mixer replaced
- Stop valve checked
- Leak test
- Price agreed before work starts
DIY, a quick fix, or a proper job
