Introduction
A dripping faucet wastes up to 20 litres of water per day and can add hundreds of liras to your annual water bill in Mersin. A sticky, corroded, or leaking mixer tap is not just annoying — it is a sign that the cartridge, O-rings, or the body of the tap itself has failed and needs replacement.
Usta Hemen handles faucet replacement across all Mersin districts. Whether you want to swap a tired kitchen mixer for a modern pull-out spray model, replace a slow-flowing bathroom tap before guests arrive, or fix a leaking bathtub tap before the water damage spreads, we can be at your door quickly.
Types of Faucets We Replace
Kitchen Mixer Taps
The most common replacement job. Turkish kitchens typically have a single-hole mixer tap with hot and cold supply pipes below the sink. We replace existing mixers with:
- Standard single-lever mixers (Artema, Grohe, Vitra, Serel)
- Pull-out spray models (popular for kitchen flexibility)
- High-arc (goose-neck) taps for deep sinks
Bathroom Washbasin Taps
Single-hole basin mixers and two-hole (separate hot/cold) taps. We align new taps to the basin's fixing holes and supply flexible connectors to the water supply.
Shower Mixers
Thermostatic or manual shower mixers exposed on the wall. We disconnect the old unit, clean and check the water supply points, and fit the new mixer with a fresh seal.
Bathtub Faucets
Bathtub mixer taps (floor-standing or wall-mounted). These require more care as the supply pipes are embedded in the wall or floor; incorrect torque can crack the concealed pipe connection.
Outdoor / Garden Taps
Simple bib taps for garden use. We fit isolation valves for easy winterisation, which is good practice even in Mersin's mild climate.
Bidet Spray Taps (Taharet Muslukları)
A very common replacement job in Mersin homes. We also install brand-new bidet sprays on existing supply points.
Signs You Need a Faucet Replacement (Not Just Repair)
| Problem | Likely Solution | |---------|----------------| | Steady drip even when fully closed | Cartridge replacement or new tap | | Handle turns but flow doesn't change | Worn cartridge — repair or replace | | Tap body cracked or corroded | Full replacement required | | Tap over 10–15 years old | Proactive replacement recommended | | Low flow despite good mains pressure | Blocked aerator — clean or replace | | Tap leaks from the base | O-ring failure — repair if new, replace if old |
Our Replacement Process
- Isolate water supply – We locate and close the nearest isolation valve under the sink or at the bathroom stop-cock.
- Remove the old tap – Using basin wrench and adjustable spanners, we remove the old tap and clean the mounting surface.
- Check supply connections – We inspect the flexible hoses and replace them if they are older than 5 years (perished hoses cause burst flooding).
- Fit new tap – Install with new sealing gasket, tighten mounting nut from below, and connect to supply hoses.
- Restore water supply – Turn water back on and check for leaks at every connection point.
- Test and adjust – Verify hot/cold operation, adjust flow rate, check aerator.

FAQ
How do I know if I need a new tap or just a cartridge repair?
If your tap is less than 5 years old and the drip started recently, a cartridge replacement (₺80–150 including labour) is often sufficient. If the tap is older than 10 years, corroded, or visibly damaged, full replacement is more cost-effective.
Can you fit a tap I bought myself from IKEA or a hardware store?
Yes. We fit taps purchased anywhere, as long as the connection type is compatible with your water supply (standard G1/2" thread in Turkish homes).
My water pressure drops badly at the kitchen tap — is this the tap or the mains?
First check the aerator (the small mesh screen at the spout end). Limescale from Mersin's moderately hard water blocks aerators within 1–2 years. We clean or replace the aerator before considering mains pressure issues.
Can you also replace the under-sink flexible hoses?
Yes, and we recommend doing this whenever you change the tap. Flexible hoses have a 5–10 year lifespan; an old hose that bursts while you are away causes catastrophic water damage.
Do you work on rental properties?
Yes. We work with many landlords across Mersin and can invoice for rental property maintenance. We can also provide a written report of the work completed for your records.
