Oh my goodness. In this video, you've just resolved two of my problems, one of them being a leaky tap which has been going on for months.I'll sort that out this weekend. I am subscribing just because of this one video. Thanks again Big Ted
I'm truly grateful for your video and thanks for replying so quickly. Have a great weekend. I'm just waiting for an inkling of sunshine and looking forward to popping over to pick up my reviver kit. Have a great weekend my friend
Pro tip, gently tap the caps once WD40 left for 10 minutes. Helps breakup the limescale. Mine were particularly difficult, and this helped. Great video!
Big thanks for the video! I was dreading changing both taps in yhe bathroom then saw this video. One set changed in a few minutes. Subscribing to support you 👍
Great video, Ted! - Another skill I didn't know I needed, but am happy to learn it! --- Because you explain why you're doing something as you're doing it, it makes the information very versatile. Feel like I learned a lot more than just replacing taps, and that's coming form a DIY dunce like me. Cheers!
Excellent video. Many thanks. Just a couple of questions. My wife’s arthritis makes it difficult to use existing kitchen sink taps that are twist ones and she wants levers instead.1: what size are kitchen sink taps? I see references to bathroom bath or basin taps but not to kitchen pillar taps. 2: could the handle simply be changed and fitted to existing valve?
@andyhall1367 Thanks Andy. In the UK, kitchen taps are normally the same size as basin taps (1/2" bsp). Bath taps are bigger (3/4" bsp). There should be no problem if you just want to change the handles. The lever handles are much easier to turn 🙂
I’ve got some grosvenor taps 1924 tap ooze black stuff from around the tap itself when it’s turned on. Do you think it’s a similar situation; that I can use this same valve on my tap?
I'm sorry but I don't. I've just had a look on the screwfix website and they are not listed in the specification. I also drew a blank when searching for the manufacturer. Screwfix (and amazon) are normally good with refunds if you buy them and they don't fit
You just helped a pensioner with limited income. Thank you for the very clear instructions.

@@nazb33 You too. I hope everything goes smoothly when you fit the new valves and handles.
How easy, thank you for this. Shall now have the confidence to change my dripping tap. 👍

I’ve got some grosvenor taps 1924 tap ooze black stuff from around the tap itself when it’s turned on. Do you think it’s a similar situation; that I can use this same valve on my tap?
I would try changing the washer first.
Hi Big ted,
Need your help, please.
Do you happen to know the diameter of the spindle and spline count on these valves?
I'm sorry but I don't. I've just had a look on the screwfix website and they are not listed in the specification. I also drew a blank when searching for the manufacturer. Screwfix (and amazon) are normally good with refunds if you buy them and they don't fit
Thank you!. Are these replacement 1/4turns still compression valves? Or are they ceramic discs?
@@sunkat76 The valves supplied in the kits are compression valves (they have rubber washers)
How did you turn off hot water? Great video thanks
If you turn the main stopcock off, it should stop the water supply to your boiler
Great video.would the tap itself need reseating when valve is changed?
I didn't reseat the taps in the video and have had no problems.
Ive used the exact same one and used their adpater to work on my bath taps. But now the flow is so reduced.
Does this help with low water pressure? My hot water shower tap has very weak and low water flow but the cold one is fine.
I don't think this would help, unfortunately 😕
Would you know if this will work if you have the other type of tap gland
The kit I bought came with both so it should do
My screw has frayed, how do i remove it now?
Can I change the handles without changing the valves?
@AReallyLongAndUnremakableUser most valves are similar, so you should be able to just change the handles if you prefer
@@bigtedshome thank you! 👍
I think he’s mixed the taps up tap should be off when in line with the spout and on when turned parallel to spout
Hi any advice for a screw that doesn't want to come out!
Have you tried a penetrating spray like Wd40?
Hi thank you, i have just got some so am going to try soak overnight and hope it works!
@@jenmc3911 Good luck 🙂
I fitted the handle type taps on my sink but it just turns non stop in either direction anyway to fix it (make it stop range of motion)
Is the water turning on/off? It sounds like you haven't pushed the handles down onto the valves properly.
@@bigtedshome I found out what was wrong I bought the 1/2 half turn instead of the 1/4 turn lol 😂
Appreciate the reply tho ty
@@ImprovedOutlook What's the difference
