Mixer taps are the most common tap that you will come across in the majority of Australian homes, particularly in kitchens. The mixer tap is a tap where both the hot and cold water exit out of the same spout, providing the required water temperature to perfectly suit your needs. They are popular for many reasons, with the main being their ease of use and low maintenance. Mixer taps come in a range of different brands and designs, allowing our plumbers to accommodate any style kitchen we may come across. Whether you have an older federation home, country home or modern home, the team will work with you to select a mixer that will not only suit your needs and budget but also suit the style of your home.
Last week, a customer contacted the team with a leaking breech and spout in the kitchen of their Kambah home. They were seeking a licensed Canberra plumber’s advice on options for repair. Not only were they looking for the most practical way forward, but also an option that would reduce the
amount of maintenance required in the future. Our plumber arranged a convenient time to access the property and inspected the leaking breech and spout in order to determine options with the customer.
After inspecting the job, we advised our customer that we could replace the breech and spout with a kitchen mixer tap. Our plumber provided a range of different mixer tap options which would suit the home décor, along with the customers budget. Our customer selected a Caroma mixer, a popular brand which is available at the majority of plumbing stores. We removed the leaking breech and spout and installed the new stainless steel mixer.
A mixer tap was a fantastic option for our customer in terms of reducing maintenance. Mixer taps do not require continual replacement of washers like a breech and spout, which is why they have become so popular. Mixer cartridges are quick and simple to replace and the majority of mixer taps
will offer a 5-year warranty, which is great peace of mind for our customers who choose this option of tapware.
We understand that determining the right type of tapware for your home can often be difficult, which is why our team of friendly, skilled professionals are here to help. If you have a leaky tap and are located in Canberra or surrounding areas, please do not hesitate to call us today on 0422751560.
