Alan: you have done more public service here in a few minutes than many politicians/bureaucrats achieve in a lifetime. And I mean that. Thank you; you have prevented a poor man being even poorer.
James R No problem James. Al.
After watching this my bathroom taps were fixed in literally 5 minutes. I have no prior knowledge of plumbing. This is an essential skill that should be taught at school! £s saved - Thankyou.
No problem.
No need to teach at school when it's here on RUclips. Instead teachers teach kids how to use the internet safely and how to research a topic. See? Much better solution.
Top man. Mum's bathroom sink tap back up and running! She now believes I have plumbing skills. What have I got myself into ??? ;-) Cheers
That`s what I said 50 years ago.

Thank you so much. My hot tap on bath was getting stuck. Water coming out was very limited. Turn it on fully and no water comes out. Watch this video last night and attempted to fix it this afternoon. All good now. I’m getting the full turn in the tap now and got a good full flow of water coming through. Council told me my repair was not an emergency and booked me an appointment for over a week later. So grateful for this video, otherwise I could not have a bath or shower for another 8 days.
You're welcome!
put the tap body in a carrier bag and remove the circlip. This will help stop it firing across the room and being lost.Be very careful not to stab your fingers with the screwdriver when removing it.
That's exactly what I though when I saw it!
Excellent! You have saved me the trouble of having to wait in all day for a plumber and having to pay his fee. I fixed the tap easily after watching the video. Thank you!
No problem .Al.
after weeks of head scratching, my bath tap now works after watching this, now i can have my annual bath, which is great because its nearly christmas
graeme minto Yeh, once a year is quite enough. Ha ha.
This is the best video on RUclips hands down. Thank you so much!
Wow, thank you! All the best Dan.
Brilliant mate. Great video. Helped me a lot. Cheers
You are a SUPERMAN. I am 68yo and our BATH tap was just as you described. With your video and simple to follow instructions, I managed to sort out the problem in less than ten minutes. Thank you very much.
Derek Rainey No problem glad you fixed it ok, Derek
Thank you very much for the video! It enabled two clueless 30-somethings to avoid a plumber call out for a simple task :)
This video just saved me a quoted cost of £170. So thankful I found this video. Every step was explained with no jargon, with clear instructions that someone like me, with no plumbing experience was able to follow. Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Absolutely brilliant, had a trap just like this for almost a year and just fixed it in 10 minutes! Thank you for posting, very happy man now!
I did this just today,just shows even your old videos are still really useful.Saved me a fortune on a plumber 👍
No problem Jay.
12 years later and you've just helped me fix my kitchen tap that's been useless for the last week. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Tap not running very quick, googled how to fix tap, your video was top of the list, attempted my first plumbing job SUCCESSFULLY. 😀 Wife's well impressed. A big thanks from me too.
11+ years later and this video is still helping people out. Thank You.
No problem.
Was just about to call my plumber friend out to fix this issue, but thought "I will just check youtube.". So glad that I did. Though I would have to at least pop to B&Q to buy some parts. Didn't expect it to be this easy to fix. Thanks Alan. Couldn't have done it without you.
+Nick Bloor No problem. Al.
This one video has saved me a fortune on replacing expensive taps both in the bathroom and the kitchen. Thank you so much.
No problem
Thank you. 55-year old guy here. Never tried to fix anything plumbing-related in my life. This worked so well and so easily.
I've referred to this video twice now and had success both times. Invaluable! Many thanks for $ saved. (from Grateful Grandma)
You're welcome!
Omg, January 2024, this still works 100%, just fixed my hot water side of the tap, like the one in the video. Dear Sir, you have helped me save a lot of money, didn't need to call a plumber, became one myself for 7 mins, thank you very much.
You're welcome! Plumbing never goes much out of date.
I am no plumber, and thought my cold water tap problem would mean either a new tap and certainly the services of an expert. Thanks to your video I managed to do it myself in no time at all. Tap is working perfectly now. Thanks again.
+ajfc No problem, Al.
I'm from India, the Same problem here in my house, But you saved me. Fixed in 30 mins without any initial knowledge on it. thanks for your work.
You are welcome
Thank you so much. I am a 54 year old woman and your clip gave me confidence to fix my bath tap. I am very grateful.
No problem Shirley , well done for fixing it yourself.
Kind regards,
al.
Thank you so much. Fixed the Bath hot tap. Would never have known how to do it. You've saved us quids & quids. You are a star, Sir. Thank you.
Thank you so much, our kitchen tap has been horrible for about nine months, we quite often boil the kettle instead of using it. Despite googling the problem for months, I fixed it today after finding your video. I am so happy, it has been bothering me for such a long time, and it is a massive relief to have sorted it, you're a star!
Ive been putting this job off for weeks on my hot water tap on the bath but then i came across your video and thought give it a try!!..
And it worked!! Plus a 1st for me not to break anything so a big thankyou to you sir!!
You saved me ££££ on not calling out a plumber!!..
Been waiting weeks for my landlord to fix the hot tap in the kitchen,so went on RUclips and found you my friend thanks very much for such an easy fix 👍
No problem Dean.
This was exactly what I needed to restore my seized-up hot water tap. The video explained slowly and clearly the steps needed to remedy the problem. I am very grateful for this freely-given help.
No problem Stephen.
Brilliant Video Alan - Thanks! I had this exact problem without knowing what was causing it. Initially, I thought it was a washer problem. So I found a YT Vid on how to replace a washer. Still no water. Then I found another vid about how to strip a tap cartridge - so I did that but boy was it hard trying to reassemble.
Then I found you and straightaway I had the solution! I had to wind the tap head all the way down and then that old plumbers trick of a bit of detergent to ease the O ring when reassembling the cartridge. Whoosh! it went straight in! I put it all back together and loadsawater and the tap works like a dream. I was so pleased with myself I refurbed the other tap.
Thank God we have time served Old Boys like yourself who know all the tricks and are prepared to show us novices how to do it. Thanks again!
Matthew Cartwright No problem Matthew, not so sure about the 'old boys' though!!!!!
Your videos are amongst the best and most helpful I've seen on RUclips, friendly, no nonsense and advice that's easy to follow, even for a novice like me. Thanks for your help, all the best.
Thanks for your kind comments.
Absolutely fantastic demo! Just what I needed to fix my kitchen cold tap myself and I didn't flood the place. Winner! Thanks so much you've saved me a chunk of change!!!
No problem.
Thank you sir! Helped me solve an issue with our kitchen sink without bothering the landlord, you're a gent
No problem.
Many thanks. I'm useless at DIY but with the help of your video I have just repaired our basin tap that was not allowing any water through.Thanks again. Pete
No problem pete.
Top man Alan, for years been putting cold water from basin tap in to a beaker and into the bath!! Now no need to you, now have cold water bath tap.Thanks a million.
No problem Jim.
Worked a treat, thank you very much. Landlord would come out to fix the bath for 4 days and told us to wash in the sink so your video was a godsend
Greg McKeown No problem Greg. Al.
This is how videos should be! NO Bull just informative and helpful. Thanks
I appreciate that!
Brilliant. Was expecting to have to replace the two sets of bathroom taps. Sorted in a few minutes. Thank you Alan.
You're welcome!
AL,brilliant tip i live in private accommodation and didn't want to pester the landlord,it took literally 20mins from getting my tools out to putting them back,thanx mate!
Mark Pickering No problem Mark. Al.
Superb video. It was the first one I came across and the only one I needed. Well filmed, so informative, and you seem like such a nice bloke!
I had this problem with three different taps and was on the verge of getting a mate in to look at them, so you saved me a lot of hassle.
Cheers, John.
Glad you could do it and save money on expensive plumbers.
kind regards
al.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! We’ve been without hot water in the upstairs sink for about 10 days now…tried your airlock problem, didn’t work. Today I’ve managed to unscrew the tap after buying some water pump pliers, and have got as far as the nut inside, but moving the top bit about is giving me hot water! Now I need to just get to the housing and get the body through and all that! I finally feel like an adult, fixing my own taps! 🙏🤗🤗 your videos are FAB!
Thanks very much and good luck with it.
Thanks so much for producing this video and for being so clear and descriptive. I fixed 3 taps with your help! I was really proud of myself.
Well done Christina.
So grateful. We’re getting the bathroom redone in just a few weeks and calling a plumber out would have been so frustrating. It fixes exactly how you show and so easy!!!
No problem.
This video was an absolute blessing to find. Problem fixed within a matter of minutes. THANKYOU!!!
No problem Frank.
Your video is amazing ! I'm not a plumber and I have fixed my hot water bathroom mixer tap in minutes . I'm so very happy ! Thank you !
No problem.
Wow! Both cold and hot taps in bathroom sink not flowing, no idea what to do; found your tutorial and fixed within 30 minutes!! Major brownie points and £50 saved!!!!! Thank you so much!!
No problem Steve.
Worked a treat, took only a few minutes to fix, much less time than it took me to get around to doing the job. Thank you, great video.
You're welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to make the video Alan. Your instructions made it fun to fix the stuck tap. Cheers.
I found this after suffering no hot water in my en-suite sink. Being a lazy so and so (my wife will tell you - quite rightly) and knowing I can use an alternative sink, I, of course, left it for months. This was just the ticket. I'm not bad with my hands/DIY, but never did any plumbing before. Thanks very much for making it so simple to follow. The only extra tip I would give, is to use a socket set, to get the body/value out of the tap unit itself (you had already loosened it somehow without telling us, you naughty boy). Works a treat now, and no new washer required (as per British Gas engineer has incorrectly advised.) Top marks.
+Adrian Savidge . Thanks Adrian pleased you completed the job Ok.
Morning. Thank you for this video. Saved me god knows how much on a plumber coming out to me. Hot bath tap has progressively gotten worse over the course of the year, to the point that it was taking upwards of an hour to run a bath.
After freeing up the tap body, the lower part literally fell out, as you showed with about a quarter turn in your video, and was hard up against the internals of the main housing.
Willing the circlip off was the most taxing part (mainly not loosing it as you say).
Entire job completed with a 12" adjustable wrench, 6" adjustable, 1 tiny flathead screw driver, and a posi driver as you stated.
Tap has now gone from a trickle with a rather forceful half turn of the tap. To an torrential downpour after a half turn, with about 4 more full rotations possible.
Again, THANK YOU !
Fishbait075 Glad you sorted it out and thanks for the donation. Kind regards, Al.
Awesome demo! Managed to fix my kitchen tap by myself, no previous knowledge of taps or plumbing or anything, but followed this easy as pie.Looking forward to telling hubby we do NIT need to call someone out for a tap ... girlpower 💪🏻👊🏻
Good for you Carrie.
I'm SO grateful to you for posting this video. It has totally solved my slow-running hot tap problem. Thank you. Sir.
No problem.
Life saver. Was about to call a plumber when I found this gem. Thank you!
No problem.
Thank you so much you really saved me and my family as it was corona time and no one was around to come and fix our bathroom tab I followed step by step your guidance and finally I did it!! Thank you again for your time
No problem.
No problem pleased you have saved some money that's what it is all about..
I am trying like mad to get my website up and running if you could pass it on to all your face book friends and twitter I would be most grateful.
Kind regards,
al.
Just done this after having no water for weeks, worked brilliantly thanks to your simple explanation and demonstration. Thank you very much!
No problem Andy.
Hiya ... Well what can I say your a genius, you solved our problem we followed your instructions to the letter and now our bath taps are working like NEW ... BIG THANK YOU FROM US.
No problem.
OMG! I'm so proud of myself. I always avoid asking my landlord for help and I've been without cold water in my kitchen for months! All fixed now, thank you so much!
No problem.
Adding to list of praises, managed to sort my kitchen tap out in just 5 mins with this clear and concise video. Thank you very much sir.
No problem.
Brilliant video!!! Thank you so much for explaining all this in detail so clearly!! Including pointing out where the nut will stiff to get off etc (after the tap handle part eventually comes away) - without that knowledge I would have given up half way through thinking I was doing it wrong, so thanks for the additional info you explained - that gave me the confidence to keep attempting to force it loose…) eventually it budged and the rest was all exactly as you explained!!!
With zero plumbing knowledge other than your video, and about 15mins later, my cold tap works better than it has for over 20 years!!! Half a turn of the turn of the tap and whole sink fills up in seconds - it had gotten so bad recently water was barely dribbling out and took about 5 mins to fill the basin!!!
Awesome video! I’m delighted with the end result, and without having to call out a plumber too! Yay!!
Thanks again for making this video! Saved me fortune and infinite frustration!! :):):) 🙌
No problem.
Brilliant! Easy to follow and worked a treat. Didn't even lose the cir clip! Thanks for posting the video.
Hi Tony I seem to loose that dam cir clip every time . Ha ha.
Kind regards,
al.
Great video. I've been moaning about the cold tap on our bathroom sink for ages and my husband just fixed it minutes after watching your video. It was well presented and very VERY useful. Thanks for uploading!
Thanks Angelina.Al.
A brilliant tutorial. Fixed cold water tap within a few minutes. Thank you Sir.
No problem Joan.
very clear instructions on how to fix this problem --fixed our kitchen tap in 20 minutes !..cool stuff
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I had no water coming from the bathtub spout and shower. I was so nervous that I would have to spend a ton of money on a plumber. THIS WORKED! Thanks so much!
No problem.
Just fixed my tap using this. Was going to get a plumber when I came across your video. All working fine now. Very concise and clear directions, Many thanks. :)
Thank you so much! I think of myself as being really rubbish at doing stuff like this, but got the hot tap that's not been working properly for months now sorted in five minutes. Really appreciate you posting this. - it's very generous of you.
No problem.
Great video. I've never done any plumbing before but following this I now have a working tap. Thank you very much!
+Peter Smith No problem.
Thank you - this is the fix to a regular problem I have with my hot water tap. It happens every 18 months or so and I always come back to this video for the clear instructions. Think I’ll buy some ptfe tape this time!
Ha ha thanks.
Than you very much for this video. I have no idea about plumbing and have not done anything like this before but after watching this video I thought I could give it a try. What a result! You have helped me saved more than a £100 from not having to call out a plumber. God bless you sir.
No problem piak29.
No worries , marty pleased you did it.
kind regards
al.
Thanks very much. Followed your directions exactly and had it sorted in 10 minutes. Anytime this happens again I'll know what to do. I am grateful to you for putting this up and helping me and other people.
Thanks very much , please let all your friends and family know about me . Facebook and Twitter . Thanks ,Al.
This helped me tonight, all fixed in 5 minutes, without watching this video I would have no idea, many thanks :)
No problem.
Thanks so much for this. The cold tap in my bath has not worked for ages, but I followed your clear and concise instructions and now it does. Cheers
Liam No problem Liam. Al.
Couldn't have done it without this video. Thanks.
No problem.
No problem , pleased you saved some money on plumbers , I do have a paypal link in the video description , but just subscribing to my channel is just fine.
Kind regards,
al.
Echoing other comments - brilliant video, hot tap now works perfectly - hardly surprising I suppose, but I'm hopeless at this sort of thing which goes to show just how clear your instructions are. Thank you, top bloke!
Francis Brown No problem Francis, pleased you fixed it Ok . Al.
Thanks for your good advice. I fitted a new bathroom in early 2013 and didn't think that a washer (on the bath cold tap - no water flow) could have gone faulty so quickly. Your advice on the anti-clockwise inner screw lengthening the piston was spot on - that was the problem, not the washer. Didn't see that anywhere else - thankfully I remembered noticing it here (it was your clip pinging off behind the radiator that made me remember). This is now bookmarked!
***** Thanks Robin.
What a top guy. Saves me lots of money and time. Appreciate your videos a lot. Thanks
No problem.
Thank you. I thought I would have to buy a new tap but after following your instructions it now works perfectly.
Great, clear video mate. Took me 10 minutes to do this repair yesterday and it's saved me a few quid. Thanks!
No problem Ian.
Thanks for taking the time to do this Alan......answered a lot of questions for me mate :)
David Fennell No problem Dave. Al.
Absolute lifesaver!! I was about to go out tomorrow and buy some new taps, but now no need. Brilliant - can't thank you enough!
Really great video. The one detailing how to turn off the hot water was essential for us too. Can't thank you enough! 👍
No problem.
Thanks for the video. Just fixed my tap using your advice! Clear step by step instructions made it very easy to follow. Great stuff!
No problem Wayne.
I never thought I'd ever feel the need to comment on a plumbing related video, but this was indeed very helpful. Problem solved! Many thanks.
Excellent video - I was about to buy a replacement mixer tap, but I fixed it in under half an hour with your video - and didn't flood the kitchen in the process! Many thanks!
Thanks mate. Every hot water tap in my house had this problem and I was able to fix them all thanks to you.
No problem. Al.
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to solve the problem in 15 minutes following your clear instructions and saved a plumbers bill. I'll make sure to come back for more plumbing advice. Thank you again!
No problem Jeremy.
Al, That's brilliant. I wasn't sure wheter to nip up the body or not but your video has answered the question. Thanks very much. Cheers Paul
Thanks for taking the time to make this video, it really helped.
Sincere thanks. Excellent clear video that has gained me many bonus points with the missus who now has a working hot kitchen tap again. Cheers
Phil Donoghue No problem Phil. Al.
Love your videos, straight talking, and easy to follow.
Thanks Eleanor.
Thank you so much for your simple and straight forward tutorial. Tolereated no hot water coming through my bathroom sink tap for months but then the hot water bath tap did the same. Both taps now fixed and im feeling very smug and self satisfied. Thank you again. Very appreciated. x
No problem.
Thanks so much for this video. I followed your instructions and everything was exactly as you described. Managed to not lose the circlip! Hardest bit was getting the unit out of the tap to in the first place because it was very tight.
All fixed in about 10 minutes. Fixed on a Sunday evening and no need to call a plumber. Bonus points with the wife!
Thanks again.
Loved this vid! Have been scouring RUclips for similar tap problems and most of the ones available just don't float my boat at all. But yours is very much "cut to the chaff and get on with it DIY", which is exactly what I wanted. And as a consequence I fixed my tap in 20 minutes thanks to you (and the missus holding the cam?) Oh and my clip went flying across the room too, lol
Thanks again. Top geezer x
Zola Lloyd no problem Zola.
Many thanks Alan, after looking at many videos that did not show me anything regarding the problem I had I found this...
Very good explanation and very well shot vid. You just saved me time & money!
All the best
Alasdair Mackay No problem, pleased you fixed it ok.
Thank you Sir, your demo was invaluable. Just 'cured' two of my taps - both cold in this case. I wouldn't have known to where to have begun without your video. Cheers 👍
Very welcome
