Oh ye of little faith! In all seriousness, though if you don't feel confident enough (for whatever reason) you're doing the right thing by getting someone else. Thanks
You are excellent at explaining! I can tell you are very professional and have years of experience! Yours is the first video I have seen. I will definitely give it a try 🙈😅

Hi, thanks this is really useful! Can I replace a bathroom mixer tap with shower attachment, to just a straightforward mixer tap with no shower attachment? We want to install a shower and remove the old shower attachment. Thanks, Sarah
Hello Sarah. Thank you very much - glad it helped. Absolutely, yes. As long as you can attach the pipework to the tap, it doesn't matter what the tap looks like, or does. Best of luck!
Thanks for the video - quick question: If you were not able to use a spanner to loosen the old tap nuts under the bath, how were you able to tighten the new ones?
Hello Mark. You have to use a tap backnut spanner. Hit this link: www.screwfix.com/p/monument-tools-tap-backnut-spanner-set-27-x-32mm-2-pcs/9872h Thanks
Hi, I don't have isolation valves on my pipework in the bathroom, I want to change both the bath mixer taps & the basin taps, where do I need to turn the water off? I have a cylinder cupboard in the bathroom with a water tank in.
Hello Ste. If you're not too sure what you're doing, then I'm sorry to say that the simplest thing you can do is switch it off at the mains, and let it all drain out. Best of luck, pal!
Hi, if you want to replace the tap with the exact same tap, after closing the water from the mains, can you just take the tap out from the top two nuts and then fit the new tap?
Hello. That's pretty much all you need to do, yes. Make sure to tighten them each a little at a time - don't fully tighten one side, then the other. But yes, that would be all you need to do. Thanks
I am sorry, I still don't know how to get under the tub. What did you do to get there? All plumbing videos start with all the pipes exposed, but how to get to them? 😒
Hello Ania, Each bath tub is different, which is why videos don't tend to show this. Your bath will usually have a bath panel which can be removed. Once this has been removed it will expose the pipework. I can't be any more help without actually seeing it, I'm afraid. Thanks
I have a tap just like this and all of a sudden when the lever is down and facing the direction of hot, water starts flowing. Doesn't even need lifting up, then I struggle trying to stop water flowing and all I'm getting is cold water no matter where I turn the tap. No idea why it's started doing that 🤔
@@plumbingwerx sorted it, it's a mixer tap and the cartridge inside was shattered in pieces, just replaced that and now all is well. Saved abit of money 😁

Really good video, explained with patience and nice and delivered tutorial at good pace.

Very clear instructions, unlike most of the videos on here. Worth the trawl 😄🙄
Thanks so much

Thank you SO MUCH! I just did this and you have saved me £55 for a plumber. You are awesome! Xx
Hello Vicky. You're very welcome, and glad to have been able to help. :)

@@llhealdom265 it went well for me, just turn the water off at the mains before you start and take your time.

@@plumbingwerx Thanks, will turning the main water suplly off isolate both the hot & cold?
It'll isolate the mains, which will stop the cylinder and CWSC filling back up, as long as you drain it.@@YORKEE
@@plumbingwerx Thanks mate.

That's very kind of you - thank you very much.
Great video Thank you! You will save me ££££'s !😀
how do I isolate hot and cold water taps on bath without having to take off bath panel as its sealed in? its a Valiant combo boiler
If you're on a combi boiler simply isolating the mains supply to the property will turn off both your hot, and cold water supply.
Great video. Wud not imagine u as a man with a tattoo on his head based on your voice lol

Sounds like you need a new tap, I'm afraid. Or maybe to just replace the tap glands.
@@plumbingwerx sorted it, it's a mixer tap and the cartridge inside was shattered in pieces, just replaced that and now all is well. Saved abit of money 😁
@@Klanezy Unusual for the cartridge to be in such a poor state, but glad to hear you've got it all sorted, and saved some cash in the process. :)
How much does this cost for you to do? Whats best email/number to contact you?. London Area ofc

Your hot and cold look like they are both on 15mm my hot tap is 22mm and my cold is 15mm
Hello Michael.
That's absolutely fine - the principle is still exactly the same.
Thanks
