tap

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...

Hello, We have a waterfall tap (https://www.betterbathrooms.com/taps/waterfall-bathroom-taps/quadratm-cloakroom-waterfall-basin-mixer-tap) in our bathroom (cold being fed from a water tank in the loft, hot from cylinder in the bedroom) Recently the cold water flow has been getting worse, until...

I bought some replacement 5/8 tap washers from screwfix, however they are larger than 5/8ths of in Inch in diameter! What tap washers do I need for my bathrooms sink tap, the old washers are 5/8ths in overall diameter. Regards: Elliott.

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...

Taps in photo were fitted a long time ago, how long before 2007 I don't know. Hot tap hardly turns and is tight. So I got a tap reviver kit from Screwfix, see photo. However I can't pop the cap on top of the tap to release the screw. I drilled down a bit, see photo, and top of tap still not...

Bath has two 3/4 taps, hot and cold. Was considering replacing knackered swirl taps with reviver kit. Bath is never used and capping taps off avoids possibility of young student tenants flooding over run bath onto neighbours underneath. Anyone know if there is an equivalent to a reviver kit that...
