​The UK's Tap Cartridge EXPERTS
We specialise in quarter turn brass and ceramic tap valves which are manufactured to our designs and imported by us. We started the business with an ambition to provide a reasonably priced spare part for every make of tap sold in the UK. The business was born out of our own experience of trying to repair a dripping tap at home. Finding and procuring the right part was a nightmare and resulted in many costly mistakes before eventually repairing the troublesome valve.
​
Jon at The General said:
" I had to replace the components of one of the (Franke) mixer tap C&C installed. Required a new cartridge. Went around a couple of plumbers merchants - but there is no standardisation. Used tapmagician.co.uk - who were excellent. Sent them a photo and the compatible cartridge was with me in a couple of days. Would recommend."
