What Type of Tapware Are You Replacing?
Kitchen mixers, bathroom basin taps and concealed shower mixers are installed differently. Start with the location of the existing tapware to find the most relevant replacement options.
The Installation Depends on Where the Tap Is Located
Although all three categories control hot and cold water, the way the tapware is mounted and connected can make the replacement process very different.
Sink mixers are generally mounted through the sink or benchtop with the hot and cold connections accessible from the cabinet underneath.
USUALLY THE SIMPLEST MIXER REPLACEMENTBathroom basins may use a single mixer opening or separate hot, cold and outlet holes, so the existing basin configuration helps determine the correct replacement.
CHECK THE EXISTING TAP-HOLE LAYOUTBath and shower mixer bodies are generally concealed inside the wall, making complete replacement more involved than changing an exposed sink or basin mixer.
WALL ACCESS IS NORMALLY REQUIREDKitchen & Laundry Sink Mixer Replacement
Kitchen and laundry mixers normally combine hot and cold water through a single mixer body mounted to the sink or benchtop. The connections are typically located underneath the sink, making them readily accessible for replacement.
Our kitchen and laundry range includes simple standard mixers, taller gooseneck options and pull-out mixers for customers wanting additional clearance or flexibility around the sink.
Straightforward installation generally relies on the new mixer being compatible with the existing opening, water connections and available space.
Bathroom Basin Tap Replacement
Bathroom basin tapware can use either a single mixer or separate hot and cold controls. The most suitable replacement generally depends on the tap openings already present in the basin or vanity.
A single-lever basin mixer usually installs through one opening, while a traditional basin set normally uses separate hot and cold controls with a central water outlet.
Matching the new tapware to the existing basin configuration can simplify installation and avoid unnecessary alterations to the basin or vanity.
Why Is Shower Mixer Replacement Different?
A shower or bath mixer has its main mixer body concealed inside the wall. Complete replacement therefore requires access to the mixer body rather than simply removing the visible handle and trim.
The existing mixer is accessed and removed, the replacement mixer is connected to the hot, cold and outlet pipework and the installation is tested before the access area is finished.
Where access is required through a tiled wall, an oversized backing plate can be used where suitable to neatly cover the access opening. Where plastering or painting is required, this work is additional and can be arranged.
Will Any Tap Fit My Existing Plumbing?
No. Tapware varies in size, connection arrangement, mounting method and installation requirements. The existing sink, basin, benchtop or wall plumbing needs to be suitable for the proposed replacement.
Kitchen and basin mixers are generally easier to assess because their connections are often accessible. Concealed shower mixers require additional consideration because the mixer body and pipework are inside the wall.
Why Matching the Existing Setup Matters
A compatible replacement can reduce unnecessary plumbing changes. For example, replacing a standard sink mixer with another suitable sink mixer is generally more straightforward than changing the location or style of the plumbing.
The same applies to bathroom basins. A three-piece basin set and a single basin mixer use different opening configurations, while concealed shower mixers may require pipework changes behind the wall.
Does Leaking Tapware Always Need Replacing?
Not necessarily. Some tapware faults can be repaired, while complete replacement may provide better value where the existing product is old, damaged, repeatedly leaking or difficult to obtain parts for.
A leaking or stiff tap may sometimes have a serviceable cartridge, washer, spindle, seal or other replaceable internal component.
REPAIR MAY BE PRACTICALReplacement can make more sense where the mixer body is damaged, badly worn, repeatedly failing or suitable repair components are difficult to obtain.
REPLACEMENT MAY PROVIDE BETTER VALUECustomers may also replace working tapware to improve functionality, increase sink clearance or update the appearance of a kitchen, laundry or bathroom.
FUNCTIONAL & COSMETIC UPGRADESWhy Replace Existing Tapware?
Everyday use, ageing components and changes to the kitchen or bathroom can all lead customers to repair or replace existing tapware.

Common Questions About Tapware Replacement
What types of tapware can JR Gas & Water replace?
JR Gas & Water supplies and installs selected kitchen and laundry sink mixers, bathroom basin mixers, separate basin tap sets and concealed bath and shower mixers.
Do you supply the tapware as well as install it?
Yes. Our tapware collections include selected supplied-and-installed options so the product and professional plumbing installation can be organised together.
Can you replace a kitchen mixer?
Yes. Kitchen and laundry sink mixers can generally be replaced where the existing mixer opening, water connections and available sink or benchtop space are suitable for the new mixer.
Can you replace bathroom basin taps?
Yes. We offer basin mixers as well as separate hot-and-cold basin tap sets. The most suitable option depends on the existing basin or vanity tap-hole configuration.
Can separate hot and cold basin taps be replaced with a mixer?
Sometimes, but a three-piece basin set and a single mixer use different tap-hole arrangements. The basin or vanity must be suitable for the proposed conversion.
Why is shower mixer replacement more involved?
The main bath or shower mixer body is normally concealed inside the wall. Complete replacement requires access to that body, removal of the existing mixer and connection of the replacement mixer to the concealed plumbing.
What happens if a shower mixer needs to be accessed through tiles?
Where tiled access is required and suitable for the installation, an oversized backing plate can be used to neatly cover the access opening around the new mixer.
Can plastering or painting be arranged after shower mixer replacement?
Yes. Where plastering or painting is required following wall access, that finishing work is additional and can be arranged.
Can leaking tapware sometimes be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes. Some faults may be repairable where a suitable cartridge, washer, seal, spindle or other serviceable component is available. Replacement may be more practical for old, damaged or repeatedly failing tapware.
Can I see tapware installation pricing online?
Yes. Select the kitchen and laundry, bathroom basin or bath and shower mixer category to view the relevant supplied-and-installed options and current online pricing.
