Common plumbing repairs to garden taps

No water coming out of the tap

The outside plumber specialist will first check that the stopcock for the outside tap is turned on. If so, they will then turn OFF the water supply to remove the bib tap from the backplate and turn the water back on to see if it comes out of the backplate. This will determine where the issue lies.

If water comes out of the backplate, the plumber can replace either the seal or the garden tap.

If no water is running out, the plumber will need to check the supply line including the shut-off valves.

If water wasn’t coming out of the tap due to freezing weather, the plumber can check that no valves have been damaged or stuck. Before correctly lagging the outside tap to avoid it freezing.

Only a trickle of water flowing

This is often down to a deteriorated seal or limescale clogging up the inside of the tap.

The plumber will first replace the seal and clean out any debris that might be stuck inside the tap.

The plumber will also need to check the water pressure, ensuring no blockages in the supply line,

Outside tap won’t turn off

This could be a faulty tap or a faulty seal – often it is best to let the plumber change the entire tap.

Garden tap not straight

A plumber can easily fix a skew outside garden tap using some PTFE tape and a spanner. The plumber may remove the tap first before re-fitting the tap, making sure it’s sat straight.
