Do l need a plumber to replace taps?

Hi l need to replace the taps of my bathroom sink with new taps as they are worn out, can l hire a handyman to do it or is it a job only for a plumber

Re: replacing bathroom taps do l need a plumber

Hi @Cranswick,

 

It's my understanding that a tap washer can be changed by the homeowner or a handyperson. However, to change a tap, it requires disconnection and reconnection of its pipework. This is then considered plumbing work and requires a licensed plumber.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
