    I've been there many times with shower valves, I prefer bar mixer showers - undo two nuts and put a new one on.
    Great channel you've started 👍😎

      Yep completely agree. Inset showers look smart but can be a pain to work on.

    Thanks for sharing this knowledge. How do you know which valve to replace if there are two taps?

      Match the valve to what is currently in it👍🏼👍🏼

    Great work and nice van mate. If u add add a squirt of washing up liquid to your chemical you will have much thicker foam which will dwell for longer. Don't forget to shake it.

      Cheers buddy.....
      Plus you don’t want to add fairy liquid as it’s a degreasing agent, PH neutral snow foam always. Gotta have a clean van

    I like the way you just replaced the seals on the shower valve. The problem with all these new age valves is that they're all different. Some people buy their taps from amazon, or from another country!
    When I lived in Holland I got a job fitting out a whole bathroom with materials ordered from England. They wanted me especially due to speaking both languages.
    The tap the company sent included two steel wire mesh washers which ended up rusting and seizing up the tap after 6 months?
    Another Dutch mate had a spa shower which came as a whole unit. The company went bust, so where do you get the replacement valves for that?
    Ceramic taps can be a nightmare too. Can never have enough spares. Good old taps that always worked and could be reseated. We like making life difficult for ourselves don't we. Funny creatures us humans.
    I'm waiting for one hobbyist to comment on this post that he forgot to turn the water off before taking the spindel out.

      @@MJTiffPlumbing people went through a stage of ordering their own taps and getting plumbers to fit the taps the customer supplies.
      Sorry mate, wasn't insinuating you using dodgy parts.
      Customers do not understand the difference between B and Q and the plumbers merchants. B and Q always have the B rated goods which are sometimes wonky, don't fit very well. I had one toilet where the pan connector just slipped right back off after putting it on. It was tapered haha.
      Plumbers merchants get A rated products because we have to offer a guarantee too. Which is why I sometimes refuse to install something they ordered off the Internet.
      Great channel though mate, loads of great info. Thanks for sharing!

      Yer people tend to think your trying to rip them off with the parts but we car 99% of the time get them cheaper and if there is ever an issue it on us, but they like to think they are saving a few quid...

    Where do you get the tap cartridges from? Do they come as a set or do you put the set together? Thanks
