Taps you can turn witha closed fist.
Lever handles you push instead of grip and twist, for basins, sinks, showers, and laundries. Fitted by licensed plumbers.
Gripping and twistingis what goes first.
A round tap needs a firm grip and a strong twist. Arthritis, a stroke, and age often take those away long before anything else.
People find ways around it for years: a tea towel for grip, two hands on the tap, or leaving it running. By the time they mention it, it has usually been hard for a long time.
A lever only needs a push. You can use a closed hand, a wrist, or an elbow, and a quarter turn takes it from off to full. It is a small change you will notice every day.
Lever tapswe fit.
Which one you need depends on the taps you have now. A photo usually tells us.
Wall tap handles
New lever handles on the taps in your bathroom or laundry wall. No tiles are touched.
Sink tap handles
Lever handles for the kitchen or laundry sink, used as often as the bathroom taps.
Laundry trough taps
Levers for the taps over a laundry trough. Much easier with wet or cold hands.
A whole new basin tap set
If your taps are too old or worn for new handles, we replace the taps and spout together.
Mixer taps
One lever for hot, cold, and flow, the easiest to use one-handed. Whether it suits depends on your plumbing.
Garden taps
An easy-turn lever for the outside tap, often the stiffest tap in the house.

How itworks.
A clear, fixed quote
A photo of your taps is usually all we need. We can also quote from your occupational therapist’s report.
One visit to fit
A licensed plumber changes the taps over, usually in one visit, and your water is back on the same day.
Backed by warranty
All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties.
Easy taps,and safe hot water.
A lever makes the tap easier to turn, but it doesn’t change how hot the water is. In fact, it makes full hot quicker to reach.
A tempering valve keeps the hot water below the temperature that burns. We usually fit both together.
