We have a shower mixer tap that's about 15 years old and leaks from the handle. The landlord says it's our responsibility as tenants. I'm wondering if it's worth replacing the whole cartridge or if we need a new tap entirely. What's a realistic budget for this job in Amsterdam?
Replacing a shower mixer cartridge typically costs €80–150 in labour plus €40–120 for the part itself, so expect €120–270 total. A full new mixer tap runs €200–500 installed, depending on brand and whether the installer needs to adjust pipes. Under Dutch rental law (Besluit kleine herstellingen), minor tap repairs are usually the tenant's responsibility if caused by normal use—but check your lease. If the tap is original and failing from age, your landlord may need to cover it. Labour is the main cost driver; cartridge-only fixes are faster than full replacement.
