Tap replacement in Chișinău, in every sector
Tap replacement in Chișinău: we take off the old mixer, fit a new one on the sink, the basin or the wall above the bath, and repair taps that drip. We'll also fit a mixer you bought yourself. We come in the daytime, at the time we agree, and if water is running and won't stop, the plumber is there in 45-60 minutes. You know the price before we take anything apart.
The callout is free if our plumber does the job.

Tap problems we sort out
We work on bathroom and kitchen mixers: deck-mounted, wall-mounted, shower and concealed.
- The tap drips even though the handle is closed
- Water leaks from under the spout of the kitchen mixer
- The diverter no longer switches the water from the bath to the shower
- The handle is stiff, or only cold or only hot water comes out
- You want a new wall-mounted bath mixer in place of the old one
- You've bought a deck-mounted mixer for a new sink or basin
- The concealed shower mixer leaks or won't shut off
- The flexible hose under the sink or the angle valve is dripping
If the wall has to be cut for a new concealed mixer, a tiler puts the tiles back afterwards; we fit the mixer and the pipes to it.
Tap replacement prices
The callout is free if you go ahead with the job through our plumber. If you decline, the diagnosis costs 150 lei. If a new cartridge, washers or hoses are needed, we buy them and show you the receipt.
How we replace a tap
-
What the tap is doing
Call or message us with the kind of mixer you have and what it's doing: dripping, leaking under the spout or not switching to the shower. A photo of the tap helps us bring the right cartridge.
-
Starting price and a day
On the phone you hear what the job starts from, and we pick a day and time together.
-
We look at the tap on site
The plumber turns the water off at the angle valves, takes the mixer apart and tells you whether a repair will do or you need a new one, with the exact price.
-
We fit or repair
We fit the cartridge, the washers or the new mixer, with new flexible hoses if the old ones are worn. Threads are sealed with tape or hemp, whichever the joint needs.
-
We test cold and hot
We turn the water on, check that nothing drips on cold or hot, and clean up after ourselves. The work comes with a guarantee.
Why does a tap drip when the handle is closed?
In a single-lever mixer, a ceramic cartridge shuts off the water. When sand or limescale gets between its discs, they no longer sit tight, and the tap drips with the handle closed. The cartridge can be replaced without taking the mixer off the sink.
In older taps with two handles, the culprit is usually the washer or the tap's headgear. If water leaks from under the spout of a kitchen mixer, the spout's rubber O-rings are worn; if the shower also runs into the bath, the diverter's washer is worn.
A dripping tap loses water every day, and you see it on the meter; hot water costs more on top. If the dripping doesn't stop when you tighten the handle, or water runs under the mixer, call us before the cabinet under the sink swells.
Where we come out to
The tradesmen at Plumber Chișinău come to flats and houses in Botanica, Ciocana, Râșcani, Buiucani, Sculeni and Centru. If several taps need replacing, we fit them all at once.
Frequently asked questions
A new cartridge or a new mixer?
If the mixer is sound and only drips, a new cartridge is usually enough. A new mixer makes sense when the body is cracked, the thread is stripped or the cartridge for that model can no longer be found. The plumber tells you what each option costs before starting.
Will you fit a mixer I bought myself?
Yes. Just check that the box has the flexible hoses and the fixings: some mixers come with hoses too short for your sink. If something is missing, the plumber tells you what's needed and can bring the part.
Concealed shower mixer: can it be done without breaking the wall?
If the old body stays in the wall, we replace the cartridge or the visible trim that fits that body, and the wall stays untouched. A new concealed mixer has its body set into the wall, so some tiles have to come off; it's easiest to do before the renovation.
Dripping tap, or want a new one?
Tell us what tap you have and we'll agree a day. If water is running and won't stop, the plumber sets off at once.
