I used your video to help fix a very stiff bath tap. The tap wasn’t exactly the same as the one you demonstrated with, but there was enough information for me to fix mine. Great video. Thanks for posting 👍
My old Mum (93) has become a dab hand at overtightening the bathroom basin hot water tap... I've had to change the half-inch washer twice... in the last 2 weeks!! Old washers used to last for ages! Can I purchase a really HARD washer that will last for more than 7 days!? Luv your videos, Al...
Which grease would you recommend to use on the areas you’ve said as I’ve heard that some of these plumbers greases shouldn’t be used on certain areas like the o-rings?
You say grease it. Is 3 in 1 good enough or specifically need grease? Asking as our shower unit become super stiff when turning off only. I put some 3 in 1 all over but doesn't appear to have made much difference
Hi great video once again. 👍👍👍 Can I ask your advice as I'm worried if my boiler is safe. Every now and then I would get a loud whining noise come from my boiler after I had turned off running water from kitchen taps. The noise would last no longer than a minute Weirdly I didn't hear it for a while. Other day after turning off upstairs taps the noise came back worse than ever and wouldn't stop this time until I turned boiler off. When turned straight back on the noise hasn't returned in days. Now the noise definitely comes from the boiler. An engineer has told me that the noise is coming from a faulty tap washer could this be possible?? I'm confused as as iv said the noise comes straight out of the boiler and stopped immediately after I turned it off.
Great video. Love the way you talk. No nonsense, simple, straightforward
Glad you liked it! Thanks.
Great video! Was able to fix a non working tap without calling a plumber. Many thanks.
You're welcome!

Try a proper plumbing shop, you might be lucky. Or an old one of a tap that has gone hard.

Just use on the threaded spindle. There are lots of types of grease they are all good.
white grease
Made me 😂😂 the circlip keep pinging off😵😵😵😵 I bought a circlip plier set and still drop the 🤐🤐🤐 finally ❤️❤️❤️ black swan grease for lubing up

I would get the boiler checked out if it is a combi. If its an F and E system it could be pump overrun with a noisy pump, or boiler over heat.
@@dereton33 So a faulty tap washer would definitely not be the cause of noise coming from the actual boiler itself?
Do you have to disconnect the water supply line to do this work or just turn off water supply on that line?
Just turn it off on the line for the tap you are working on.
What grease would you recommend?
Any will do to be honest.
@@dereton33 thank you
magic, great tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi.. totally off the subject..But is it ok to use pipe squeeze off tool on qualplex pipe?

Hi when I flush toilet upstairs my kitchen cold tap leaks and and sounds like an elephant? Any ideas please
Try turning the flow rate down on the main stopcock. Or fit a shock arrester on the feed to the tap.
For the price of some property grease, I think I'll just replace the full cartridge
Sometimes the best bet.
Hi everyone, I have a. Tight cold water tap, dismantled it, greased it and reassembled it. It has gorn tight again...Any ideas?
Change the entire body part.
@@dereton33 replaced the cartridge and that one is stifling up too!
Thankyou 👍
No problem 👍
I just bought a new one installed it and it's really stiff.
I will loosen in time.
What if it’s attached the the hot water tap
Same fix.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks PB, all the best mate.
REALLY hate those clips and C clips.
Me too Steven.
Worked ! Thanks!
