tap

Hi, I have recently moved into a new flat and would like to change the kitchen tap but have never seen before a mounting bracket as the one in the attached photo. Anyone could advise me on how to uninstall it? Also, the hex screw to remove the lever has been completely rounded so any ideas on...

Hi all. Apologies if my question is obvious to some/most! I am fumbling in the dark here. Am a new home owner, and have a leaky hot tap in the upstairs bathroom. More specifically, we have a 1901 Bristan pillar bath/shower tap, and water is leaking from the spindle on the hot tap. I can't see...

The cold tap in the bathroom basin now requires 4/5 turns before the flow is acceptable. 1 turn used to suffice. They're an old style tap similar to the picture below. We live in a hard water area if that has any significance. Any idea how this can be fixed? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi guys, I had a drip from my Deluxe chrome monobloc tap. I fixed it by removing the cold tap side and replacing washer. Now water is leaking from bottom of base. Shining torch at base and switching on tap you can see water leaking from the base. I've attached a photo. How do I fix this...

Hi, I previously posted about not being able to get ceramic valves off my tap to change, but finally managed to. I was told previously on here to buy a new one but I’m going to win this fight and not give in.;) I’ve attached a picture of the neck of the tap and the screw cap. I’m going to...

Looking for the easiest way to fix this bath tap. Can't get a plumber for months.

I’m trying to change the cartridges on the mixer for a dripping tap. Can someone help with what I need to do to get these off? Thanks Dan

Hi, I'm after a bit of advice regarding replacing a kitchen mixer tap. Having checked the underside of the sink I have noticed that there appears to be a plastic sheath covering the rod and backing nut. (see attached photo). Therefore I'm left wondering if this sheath is there to aid...

Tap is dripping, I've taken tap apart this far. I would expect the unit nut to unscrew, but its either ceased or not supposed to be unscrewed after manufacture? Any ideas? Thanks

Hi I just purchased a 3 way tap that came with 1/2" flexi hoses for each of the 3 holes. 1 hose is for the hot water and 1 is for the cold water. The 3rd one is for the filtered water. I am using an undersink water filter system that connects to a tap via a 1/4" plastic tubing. How on earth do...

Hi All, recently, when I turn the bath hot tap on, just slightly, a very loud shuddering, like a pneumatic drill, can be heard from the pipes/floor/tap? When I turn the tap on fully, it stops. Is this water hammer? It doesn't happen all the time, just every so often. But it is so loud and...

Hi all, Noticed the connector shown in this pic is leaking, the piece immediately after the cold tap. Any idea what part I need? I can't seem to find anything similar that splits like it does. Is it an easy thing to replace? Just switch the water supply off, undo the white valve and replace...

I have an old basin with square tap holes and old taps with round bases. I want to keep the basin and replace the taps. The holding nuts underneath the taps have seized. They are in a slight recess, so it is difficult to get a sizeable spanner to them. I removed one after hours of cutting away...

Please take a look at the pics first. Mixer Swivel Taps - Time to change cartridges - They're 15 years old - need help. The top casing & main body of each cartridge (two different types) has come off (upstairs bathroom - downstairs bathroom) - but the base is stuck in each of them - I can't...

Hello , Bought a ex display tap and sink the other day and I was wondering what Flexi pipe I need here. I want a compression fitting the other end but what goes at this end. Pretty sure its 3/8". If anyone could send me a link that would be great. Many Thanks

Hi folks, So I have a mixer tap in my bathroom and when I move it to the hot position the water trickles out. It never gets hot, I assume because the flow is not great enough to kick the combi boiler on. I replaced the tap thinking it was that, same problem. If I move the tap to the middle...

I am having issues mounting a handheld shower adaptor. Essentially the threaded male water connector for the handheld shower is not as long as that of the fixed shower (see photo below - the handheld shower adaptor is the shorter thread). This means that I do not have enough thread to...
