    Our outdoor tap is beyond dripping. You've given me confidence to give it a go! Thank you for demonstrating step by step and for the easy to understand explanations.

    My hot tap has not been turning off for days. I heard about tap reviver kits. I've never changed a washer before but successfully did so yesterday with a tap reviver kit. I have OCD and get very anxious about this sort of thing. It was a bit of a struggle as I didn't know how to get the handwheel off and wasn't sure if I was doing it right when the gland wasn't undoing but then it came undone. The tap reviver kit was so easy to install, no doubt easier than changing individual parts. I thought I'd say this in case it's helpful to anyone reading this though I appreciate this video will be helpful to some too.

    Thank you. A plumber wants to charge me over £90 to do this. He tried to pretend it's a screw of some sort that costs around £20.00. Some tradesmen hear an old lady voice and think we are stupid.
    I may not have the strength but my son will have.
    Good music. Strauss. Blue Danube. Lovely waltz.

      Plumbers want the hourly rate before plus a cost for the work they do. I've never ever called one. You can find enough help on the internet and RUclips so long as you are in the same country as the presenter. Other nations seem to have different kind of taps.

    Thank you.
    Mine are exactly the same but bought from B&Q only about 5 years ago. The chrome is already coming off at the spouts. They don't chrome properly anymore. I am sure that real chroming from the 80's would have lasted longer.
    Same with many things now. Even if expensive it's often still rubbishly made.

    My tap is different from this. I changed the washer but it still drips. I didn't have to undo a big nut. I just unscrew the top of the tap and the innards come out like a column.

    I am looking to unscrew a faucet with a little plastic part but no where to use a spanner to twist off the stem, any ideas on how to remove it (so i can silicon the stem or change the washer)? Brand name is Wessan and I don't want to risk breaking the cartridge, thank you vm

    If it's the hot water tap down stairs and the boiler is upstairs what happens to the water in the pipe between the boiler and the dismantled tap. Does it all run off , if so what happens to the boiler.

    I had a badly dripping bath tap. I could never get the top screw undone, so I applied some WD40 and left it 24 Hours. I didn't need to do any more - that was enough - the tap turns off perfectly, and no dripping.

    If the “next” guy in would be myself in the future if grease the threads. That’s why you can’t undo some things, the original fitter didn’t grease a thing 😁

    You only did half the job. You did not 're-seat the washer'. If in doubt consult a qualified plumber.
