What pushes the price up
Most over-budget tap jobs come from one of three things: seized back-nuts that have to be cut off, no isolating valves so the whole house water has to be shut down and drained, or kitchen taps with restricted access behind a butler sink. We check all of this in the first 5 minutes and tell you the real price before we lift a spanner.
