Upgrading to a Modern In-Wall Mixer Tap

January 31, 2025

Tired of Juggling the Taps in the Shower?

At A Team Plumbing and Gas, we pride ourselves on providing long-lasting plumbing solutions that improve both functionality and aesthetics.

Recently, we completed a tap upgrade in a Bassendean home, replacing an outdated in-wall tap set with a sleek and reliable in-wall mixer tap.

Why Upgrade to an In-Wall Mixer Tap?

While replacing washers and servicing taps can provide a temporary fix for leaks, it’s not a long-term solution. Over time, traditional tap sets wear down, leading to recurring leaks and inefficiencies. By upgrading to an in-wall mixer tap, homeowners enjoy:

  • A Permanent Fix for Leaks: No more constant servicing—just smooth operation and reliable water flow.
  • Modern Aesthetics: A streamlined design enhances the look of any bathroom.
  • Improved Functionality: A single control for both hot and cold water makes adjusting temperature easier and more precise.
  • Durability: Modern mixer taps are built with high-quality materials designed to last.


Our Process: Ensuring a Seamless Upgrade

For this project, we followed a step-by-step approach to ensure minimal disruption and maximum efficiency:


  1. Removing the Old Tap Set
  2. The existing in-wall tap set was carefully removed, exposing the internal plumbing.
  3. As shown in the first image, we prepared the area for the new installation by securing the pipework.
  4. Installing the In-Wall Mixer Tap
  5. A new, modern mixer tap was installed, securely fitted into the wall cavity.
  6. The plumbing was thoroughly checked for leaks and pressure-tested to ensure everything was working perfectly.
  7. Seamless Tile Repair
  8. Unlike many plumbers, we have an in-house tiling team, meaning tile replacement is completed on the same day or the following day.
  9. This ensures your shower is back in action as soon as possible, without waiting for additional trades to finish the job.

 

The End Result: A Leak-Free, Modern Shower

With this upgrade, our Bassendean client now has a fully functional, leak-free shower featuring a stylish and reliable in-wall mixer tap. Not only does it improve ease of use, but it also enhances the overall aesthetic of the bathroom.
