    Thanks Bill! I’m 6 months pregnant today and after the tap sitting in the cupboard for a few months, I decided I didn’t need hubby and I could do it on my own. With your video I crushed it 🙌

    A great help. Three things made it much simpler for me. I removed the horizontal drainpipe to give me more room to move. Then assembled the bolt and flat washer and plate above the sink with enough slack to pass it though the hole with a bit of jiggling. This saved trying to assemble it in the dark underneath. I bought a tube spanner kit ($12). The 11mm tube slotted into the 14mm tube giving me a long extension. Tightening was a breeze. Twenty minutes from beginning to end. Thanks.

I rang 3 plumbers, exorbitant prices quoted, such as $352 ffs (my lovely kind honest in his 70"s just round the corner handyman is out of town) With myself having a background in props making I thought hmm,, bugger these arrogant and greedy cowboys, had a look under the sink, yeah that doesn't look too hard. Popped down to Bunnings, got the Estilo tap that matches the one already there (this one is $48). Got the whole thing done myself. So thanks for the help!

    Greetings from New Zealand, I love your common sense approach and explanations as to why you must do things a certain way. I notice that the screw fittings for some tap mixers have changed, instead of those pesky thin screw fittings, that were always so difficult to reach, many taps now have a bulkier screw fitting, which makes it easy to tighten the tap body to the bench with your hand.

    G'day Bill. After a stalled start, I just installed a mixer tap, where there was previously a hot and cold tap in my kitchen sink. The project stalled when I struggled to remove the existing hardware - the flexi hoses went to the individual hot and cold taps, with a "U" shaped copper pipe then going to the spout. I couldn't get enough purchase on end of the pipe to unscrew it from the spout, so I had to cut the copper pipe, and was then able to use a plumber's spanner to undo it. Haven't removed the old hot and cold taps from the sink yet, but at least I have a new mixer that reaches the basins really well.

    Thanks Bill, I changed my kitchen tap today. Easier than making a cake.
    There are 2 tips I would like to share. 1. Please check the size of your old tap before going to upgrade fancy one. I was going to fit a retractable head but I found the original hole is only 20mm. So after visiting Bunning Wearhouse third time, back to basic version$35.97.
    2. Please turn on all your house taps on to let the extra water out before you unscrew the hot and cold pipe off if you do not have a water turn off buttons under you sink. Otherwise, the excess water will leaking your kitchen pretty bad.
