shutting off bath and basin

[tellytv]

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me

I'm having a new bathroom suite, but wanted to take the old bath and basin out to let it dry for a while where it's been leaking .

I've used a blanking nut on a radiator to shut it off before when decorating, is it possible to put the same sort of nut basin and bath pipes?


Thanks

Just remove the taps from bath and basin and use them.

For this and future washer changes fit isolator valves before the taps.

so if I turn the water supply off,take the taps off and take the bath out will it be ok to fit a isolator valves on the copper piping to stop the water coming through?

Yes but don't fit cheapo service valves,

Something like this...http://www.screwfix.com/p/pegler-ball-valve-blue-15mm/11085

That will depend on the size of the pipework, I cant see it from here, think its time you phoned a Plumber!!!
