What Is Tap Replacement?
Tap replacement is the process of removing an existing tap or faucet and installing a new fixture using the available hot and cold water-supply connections.
The service may involve shutting off the water, disconnecting supply lines, removing mounting hardware, inspecting the sink or installation area, installing the new tap, reconnecting the plumbing, and testing for leaks.
Tap replacement may be needed for:
- Kitchen sink taps
- Bathroom sink taps
- Laundry room taps
- Utility sink taps
- Bar and prep sink taps
- Shower taps and controls
- Bathtub taps
- Single-handle taps
- Two-handle taps
- Mixer taps
- Pull-down kitchen taps
- Pull-out spray taps
- Touchless taps
- Commercial kitchen taps
- Commercial washroom taps
- Taps being upgraded during renovations
A professional assessment can help confirm whether the replacement fixture is compatible with the sink, countertop, plumbing connections, and available installation space.
Common Signs You Need Tap Replacement
You may need a new tap if:
- The tap body is cracked
- Heavy corrosion is visible
- The fixture leaks from several areas
- The tap continues dripping after repairs
- Replacement components are unavailable
- The handle is broken or unreliable
- The tap no longer controls temperature properly
- The fixture has low flow despite cleaning
- The tap is loose or structurally damaged
- The mounting area is deteriorated

- The existing fixture no longer suits the sink
- The tap requires frequent repairs
- You want a different height, style, or finish
- You are renovating the kitchen or bathroom
- You need a more accessible fixture
- A rental or commercial property needs an upgrade
A tap does not always need replacement because it drips. However, replacement may be more practical when the fixture is heavily worn, damaged, or difficult to repair.

Our Simple Process
1
You Call About the Tap Replacement
Call (780) 257-2846 and explain which tap you want replaced, where it is located, and whether you have already selected a new fixture.
2
We Review the Existing Setup
Our plumber checks the current tap, mounting area, sink openings, supply lines, shutoff valves, available space, and compatibility of the replacement fixture.
3
We Remove the Old Tap
The water is shut off, the supply connections are disconnected, and the existing tap and mounting hardware are carefully removed.
4
We Install the Replacement Tap
The new tap is positioned, secured, aligned, and connected to the hot and cold water lines. Sprayer hoses or other included components are connected where applicable.
5
We Test the Tap
After installation, we test the hot and cold water, pressure, temperature control, handles, sprayer, supply connections, and mounting area for proper operation and leakage.
Tap Replacement vs Tap Repair
Tap repair focuses on correcting a specific cartridge, washer, seal, valve, handle, aerator, or connection problem. Tap replacement involves removing the complete fixture and installing a new one.
Tap repair may be suitable when:
- A cartridge or washer is worn
- An O-ring or internal seal is damaged
- The aerator is blocked
- A connection beneath the sink is loose
- The handle requires adjustment
- A replaceable sprayer hose is leaking
- The tap body remains in good condition
- Compatible replacement parts are available
Tap replacement may be needed when:
- The tap body is cracked
- Heavy corrosion is present
- Replacement components are unavailable
- The fixture leaks from multiple areas
- Previous repairs have not solved the problem
- The tap is loose or structurally damaged
- The fixture requires frequent service
- A renovation requires a new tap
- A different style, height, finish, or feature is preferred
Tap repair may be suitable when the fixture remains in good condition and the problem involves a replaceable component. Replacement is usually more practical when the tap is cracked, corroded, outdated, repeatedly leaking, or no longer suitable for the sink or room.
Why Proper Tap Installation Matters
Replacing a tap requires more than attaching the fixture to the sink. The tap must fit the mounting holes, remain securely fastened, connect properly to the water lines, and have enough space for hoses and hardware beneath the sink.
Professional tap installation can help:
- Create secure water-supply connections
- Reduce the risk of under-sink leaks
- Keep the tap stable during use
- Restore reliable hot and cold water control
- Maintain suitable water pressure
- Prevent mounting hardware from loosening
- Protect cabinets and countertops
- Support proper sprayer operation
- Identify damaged shutoff valves
- Replace deteriorated supply lines when needed
- Improve kitchen or bathroom usability
- Support renovation and rental upgrades
- Reduce unnecessary water waste
- Improve long-term fixture reliability
Incorrect installation may lead to loose fixtures, crossed hot and cold lines, damaged fittings, restricted hoses, or slow leaks inside the cabinet.
Choosing a Replacement Tap
The replacement tap should match the sink, plumbing connections, available space, and how the fixture will be used.
Important factors may include:
- Number of mounting holes
- Distance between mounting holes
- Single-handle or two-handle design
- Tap height and spout reach
- Sink depth and bowl size
- Pull-down or pull-out sprayer
- Fixed or swivel spout
- Hot and cold supply connections
- Space beneath the sink
- Shutoff valve condition
- Residential or commercial use
- Accessibility needs
- Finish and design
- Availability of replacement parts
- Manufacturer installation requirements
Selecting a compatible tap before installation can help avoid unnecessary sink, countertop, or plumbing modifications.
Kitchen Tap Replacement
Kitchen taps often receive frequent daily use and may include pull-down sprayers, flexible hoses, swivelling spouts, or multiple spray settings.
Kitchen tap replacement may be needed when:
- The pull-down hose leaks
- The spray head no longer works properly
- The fixture is loose
- The spout has insufficient reach
- The tap body is corroded
- Water leaks beneath the sink
- The kitchen is being renovated
- A taller or more functional tap is preferred
The replacement fixture should suit the sink depth, cabinet space, mounting arrangement, and daily kitchen needs.
Bathroom Tap Replacement
Bathroom taps may be installed on sinks, vanities, bathtubs, or other fixtures. Replacement may improve water control, accessibility, appearance, and reliability.
Bathroom tap replacement may be needed when:
- The fixture drips repeatedly
- The handles are difficult to operate
- Corrosion is visible
- The tap no longer matches the vanity
- Water leaks around the base
- A renovation includes new fixtures
- A more accessible handle style is preferred
- The existing tap requires frequent repairs
The new tap must match the sink or countertop openings and the available plumbing connections.

FAQs About Tap Replacement in Edmonton
When should I replace a tap instead of repairing it?
Replacement may be more practical when the tap is cracked, heavily corroded, repeatedly leaking, structurally loose, difficult to operate, or no longer supported by available replacement parts.
Can you install a tap that I already purchased?
Family Wise Plumbing can assess the fixture and existing plumbing setup. The tap must be compatible with the sink openings, available mounting space, water-supply connections, and intended use.
How do I know whether a tap will fit my sink?
Check the number, size, and spacing of the mounting holes. You should also consider the countertop thickness, spout reach, tap height, cabinet space, and connection requirements.
Can a one-hole tap replace a three-hole tap?
It may be possible when the new tap includes or supports a deck plate that covers the unused openings. Compatibility depends on the sink design, hole spacing, and fixture requirements.
Should supply lines be replaced with the tap?
Supply lines should be inspected during installation. Lines that are worn, corroded, damaged, too short, or incompatible with the new fixture may need replacement.
Should shutoff valves be replaced during tap installation?
A leaking, seized, corroded, or unreliable shutoff valve may need replacement. Working valves allow the water supply to the tap to be controlled during maintenance and emergencies.
Can you replace a kitchen tap with a pull-down model?
Yes, when the sink, mounting hole, cabinet space, water connections, and hose-clearance requirements are suitable for the selected pull-down fixture.
Can you replace shower or bathtub taps?
Family Wise Plumbing can assess shower and bathtub taps, controls, cartridges, valves, and visible connections. Replacement requirements depend on the fixture type, wall access, valve compatibility, and plumbing layout.
Why is my newly installed tap leaking underneath the sink?
The leak may come from a loose supply connection, damaged seal, incompatible fitting, sprayer hose, mounting area, or nearby drain plumbing. The exact source should be identified promptly.
How long does tap replacement take?
Can a new tap improve low water pressure?
A new tap may improve flow when the old fixture has a blocked aerator, damaged cartridge, or internal restriction. Low pressure caused by supply pipes, valves, or the wider plumbing system will require separate troubleshooting.
