Tap Replacement Tap Repair Kits
Use a tap repair kit, bath tap reviver kit, or tap conversion kit to restore your bathroom fittings without replacing the entire tap body. We stock specific extraction tools and reviver sets for 1/2" and 3/4" valves. These kits enable you to upgrade to ceramic disc operation or replace worn internal components on Armitage Shanks and Bristan models.

Tap Repair Kits and Reviver Sets for Bathroom Taps
Complete sets for restoring water flow and fixing leaking tap valves.
When a tap begins to drip or the handle feels loose, a tap repair kit provides the specific components needed to fix the internal leak. Most standard UK taps use either 1/2-inch valves for basins or 3/4-inch valves for baths. A tap reviver kit replaces the entire internal mechanism and the external handle, which is often faster than sourcing individual washers and O-rings. We stock specific revivers for Bristan and Armitage Shanks that ensure the new parts align with your existing tap body. For trade professionals and DIY repairs, we also provide dedicated extraction tools to remove seized components safely without damaging the chrome finish of the tap body.

Questions About Tap Repair and Reviver Kits
Expert advice on sizing, compatibility, and installing tap repair sets.
What is included in a tap repair kit?
A standard kit typically includes replacement seals, washers, and O-rings to stop drips. However, full service kits may also include new internal brass valves or cartridges. If you are repairing a kitchen sink mixer, check our kitchen tap spares for model-specific repair sets that include the spout seals and aerators.
Can I use a tap reviver kit on any tap?
Reviver kits are generally designed for standard pillar taps or mixers. You must match the thread size (1/2" or 3/4") and ensure the tap shroud or cover will fit over the new internal valve. Whilst many are designed to be "universal," branded taps like those from Bristan often require specific conversion sets to maintain the original look of the fitting.
What is the difference between a repair kit and a reviver kit?
A repair kit is for maintaining existing parts (replacing washers or seals), whereas a reviver kit involves replacing the entire internal "guts" and the handle itself. If your tap handles are pitted or broken, a reviver is the better choice. If the handle is fine but the tap is dripping, a replacement mixer tap cartridge or seal kit is usually sufficient.
Do I need a specific extraction tool for my tap?
If the internal valve or cartridge is seized due to limescale, a standard spanner may slip and round off the brass nut. Branded extraction tools are designed to grip the specific notches or flats of a valve body. This is particularly important for commercial fittings like the Armitage Shanks Contour range where access is restricted.
How do I choose between 1/2" and 3/4" reviver kits?
As a rule, 1/2-inch kits are for smaller basin taps and kitchen mixers, whilst 3/4-inch kits are for larger bath taps. If you are trying to repair a shower fitting, these sizes do not apply and you should instead view our shower spares section for specific cartridge and handle sets designed for thermostatic valves.
