SIX7 PLUMBING
SIX7 Plumbing Tap Installation Colombo
Labor-only fitting welcome — but we inspect your tap before we fit it, and we refuse to fit one we know will fail.
A tap fails at two places: the washer or cartridge seat, and the thread seal. Both are decided during fitting, which is why torque, tape-versus-compound choice and a seat check are not optional steps here. We inspect the fixture first — hole diameter, tail length, pressure rating — because a mismatched tap leaks at the base no matter how well it's fitted.
Bring your own tap and you get the labor-only rate after inspection; buy through us and it's at fixture markup with the compatibility question answered before purchase. Kitchen taps and basin taps are different jobs: kitchen tails and swivel mounts need different sealing and support, and we fit both daily.

How We Fit It
Our fitting process ensures your tap is installed leak-free, every time.
Fixture Inspection
We inspect your fixture for quality and compatibility before we even touch a wrench.
Seals & Thread Work
Correct seals, right thread treatment, and torque-checked mounting for a leak-free fit.
Flow & Leak Test
Full flow test and leak check before we call it done. No drips, no guessing.
Neighbor Approved
"Your own tap, our fit — we inspect what you bought first, then install it dry and check it under pressure."
— SIX7 Plumbing, Mount Lavinia
We set the tap to the fixture, not to force — correct hole, correct tail, correct pressure, tested dry before we leave.

Fitted to Last
We use the right seals, thread compound, and torque for every fixture type.
Correct Seals
O-rings, washers, and thread seals matched to your fixture and pressure.
Thread Treatment
Right compound or tape for the material — no guessing, no leaks.
Torque Check
Mounting torqued to spec — tight enough to seal, not tight enough to crack.
The Nitty Gritty
DIY tap fits die at the washer and thread seal within months because tape-vs-compound and torque are guessed, not done. Here's what we do:
- Fixture Inspection: We check quality and compatibility before fitting.
- Seals + Thread Work: Correct seals and thread treatment for a leak-free fit.
- Torque Check: Mounting torqued to spec — no cracking, no loosening.
- Leak Test: Full flow test before we call it done.
ALL FITTINGS INCLUDE
6-Month Workmanship Warranty
"Any tap fits any basin."
Hole diameters, tail lengths and pressure ratings differ; a mismatch leaks at the base.
Cheap taps don't fail at the body — they fail at the cartridge, and hard water kills those inside a year.
If you're buying a tap, check the cartridge type. If it's a proprietary design, replacement parts will cost you later.
