Never attempted this before. Watched your video and sorted tap in less than 15 minutes. Feeling absurdly proud of myself but the credit goes to you. Thanks indeed.
Thank you so much so easy to understand. Clear, well explained and because I am a 60 year old woman fixing my dripping tap, seeing a woman explaining and completing the task gives me confidence that I can do it also.
Philippa Tuttiett is an excellent communicator: she explains clearly yet is informal in manner and speech, is reassuring and has a frank gaze and nice smile (which helps); the video maker is also excellent. The video can be viewed for instruction and also just for the pleasure of seeing someone do a job well and explain it well. She makes you feel that she's talking to you: the ideal teacher.
Agreed! I've got stuck (literally) with this job as the works are too corroded to take the tap apart, but I've already subscribed. Clear, calm and informative without being patronising. I've become fed up with excitable tutorials that try to entertain or push the presenter's expertise. Good tutorials like this don't need to do that.
Im so happy to find this and will.be off to B&Q in the a.m for an adjustable wrench...Do you realise how great it feels to see a female doing this.. Thankyou.👍👍
I've had a dripping tap for a while asking the kids dad to fix it is taking him for ever, this video as helped me alot thankyou very much I shall do it myself tomorrow
So grateful that I found this! And Phillippa explained it perfectly and with lots of little hints and tips to avoid accidents! I think she has just saved me about £65 (the cost last time when I called out a 'plumber'). Unlike the contributor below, I'm not a 60-year-old woman but still found it helpful to have my first plumbing lesson from a female! I'm inspired now to go further and change a tap - at this rate, I'll have a brand new house by 2030! Thanks again! Mart
This fix really takes less than five minutes! I like your detailed explanation. Just worth noting: Sometimes, rubber washers can be reversed to quickly (temporarily) fix a leak. The other side is usually OK and if the whole thing is still tough and sturdy, there's no need for an immediate trip to the hardware store. Just replace it when you've got a new one ready.
Thanking you very much. Now I realised how we the tenants and the Housing Department are being ripped off by these so called plumbing companies.. This is a good eye opener. Thank you once again.
What a wonderful revelation. So used to seeing your lovely features on Scrum VI. Excellent video Philippa, thank you so much - cured my problem. Bonne chance!
This video reassured me that changing a tap washer can be easy. I’m always a bit unsure when doing any job that includes the possibility of water leakage but this job went well. Thanks so much and I will undoubtedly be checking out more of your excellent videos.
Your video helped me confirm what i was thinking and the plug in the sink was something i never thought of Thanks It saved me 170 dollars fixing the leaky sink were we live (An ex pat brit living in Australia)
This is the first time I have ever heard a Phillips screwdriver referred to as a "Posi". Those old-school faucets using just a rubber washer sure are simplistic as on most modern faucets especially here in the US there will be a small spring, & a rubber seat. It is often the rubber seat that has deteriorated & will need replacement, but these are generally found in a pack including both spring & set for a few dollars. Especially if you live in an area with hard water cleaning the valve as well as the inside of the faucet with some vinegar & a light scouring pad will remove any mineral buildup which can contribute to the faucet leaking as it can prevent a good seal.
Thank you - I was a bit nervous about doing it - now I'm going to do it tomorrow - the water is isolated and ready to go in the morning - even bought 2 washers today - great video - great explanation - thanks :)
Excellent and easy to follow video, fool proof and gave me the confidence to fix my leaky tap without getting an expensive plumber out, so thank you for your great video 8-).
Thanks for uploading I'm a 78 year old woman and I felt empowered by you! I also love your hand towels where did you get them marks Spencer? I don't have a leaky tap my grandson just showed me how to you Yourtube
Really clear demonstration in a very nice style. If you ever redo this video you could mention that to switch off the water from an in-line valve underneath, the screw slot needs to be pointing across the pipe and that cleaning up inside the tap cavity and around the assembly with wire wool is probably worth doing.
Thanks! Really useful. Much more than the equivalent B+Q video for example. It really helps, when you're doing something for the first time, to have someone explain how it feels to do something: how tight something should be, for example. Great content. 👍
Thanks for the tutorial much appreciated I wasn't able to get to the washer as the tap design is different to the ones in your video, but at least I know what the problem is I just need to know how to unscrew my tap to get to the washer part.
This is a brilliant tutorial, thank you for sharing. Unfortunately when we tried to fix our leaking tap the screw under the cap broke off & I had to replace the taps anyway, but watching this gave me the confidence to tackle this job which I had put off for ages
you likely could have purchased the machine screw that was needed from a hardware store. Once you remove the broken screw you can take that into the store & find the appropriate size, & even if they don't have one the correct length find the correct diameter & thread count & it simply cut a screw down to the proper length especially for a thinner diameter screw like you would find on a faucet. This will not only save you a good chunk of change, but will also save you time.
I vaguely knew how to change the washer from years ago but watched your vid and decided to attempt it but now my isolator valve has leaked when turning it back on and the tap has less pressure, so worse state than before, so be warned there can be complications. As with anything. Thanks for the vids though. Great tips on the new sealant around the bath too. Thanks
After watching this I went out and fixed our dripping tap I did everything myself but hubby had to use his muscle to get that last bit of the tap apart. Saved about £50 not having to get a plumber out !!

Thanks so much. Watched a few others but few explained the process so clearly. :) No music, no drama. Subscribed.
So nicely and calmly explained. This lovely lady has got me out of a pickle several times. 👍
We need more female DIY's. Great explanation. Made it simple. Thanks.
No we dont! We need the freedom for people to do DIY, which is already what we have.
@@mnm645 well your not getting laid 😅😅😅😅
Thank you - straightforward explanation with no waffle. If only all DIY videos were as respectful of viewers time and patience.

How did it go?
Yea.. 🤔
Thank you! I changed my bathroom tap washer. Your instructions were very explicit and clear. It saved me a plumber's call out charge.
I've been living with a leaky tap for 6 months. No more after this fool proof tutorial. Thank you.
i have been living with one for two years...
Brilliant video ! How wonderful to see a young lady performing these tasks. I am an older lady and found this so easy to understand. Thankyou x

Top tip thanks
Thanks for the tip!
Brilliant! Thank you so much for this easy to understand tutorial. Saved me having to get a plumber in! You’re a star!
Jolly good. I use clockwise to screw on and anticlockwise to screw off a nut rather than left and right.
Its always great to see a good looking lass doing manual work
Beauty with brains. That’s what I am missing a GF with DIY skills 👍🏼👍🏼. Well done !
Your demonstration is absolutely on spot 👌
Thanking you very much. Now I realised how we the tenants and the Housing Department are being ripped off by these so called plumbing companies.. This is a good eye opener. Thank you once again.

Superb explanation & a clear and precise demonstration of the really fiddly bits! 🏴

Followed every step, tap has stopped dripping, thank you from a guy who thought he knew it all. 👍
Thank you. This video helped a lot as I’ve not got much experience with this sort of thing. Very clearly explained. Saved us money.
